Through a series of football-style “plays,” The Hacker Playbook by Peter Kim gets to the root of many of the roadblocks people may face while penetration testing—including attacking different types of networks, pivoting through security controls, and evading antivirus software.
From “Pregame” research to “The Drive” and “The Lateral Pass,” the practical plays listed can be read in order or referenced as needed. Either way, the valuable advice within will put you in the mindset of a penetration tester of a Fortune 500 company, regardless of your career or level of experience.

This book is written by a seasoned pentester and he shows you from start to finish how it is done and what he has seen in most penetration tests. Everything in the book is right to the point and laid out very clean. It is also very up to date and uses all the modern tools and distros (Kali Linux).

This book also does a great job of helping readers build a diverse toolkit.
