Hello, does anyone have any good resources for Kali Linux and penetration testing in general.

Any books, lessons, guides, and other information would be helpful.

Thank you in advance. 🤝

You should first learn about Computing in general... Coding, Networking, Computer Architecture. Penetration testing is not a easy task, should start with some easy "hacks" such as XSS or SQL Injection. But again, you first need to learn lot of things, unless you want to be an script kiddie and be always using other's tools etc...

Obviously, the Kali forums are a great resource.

Other then that, Kali has a multitude of tools for a ton of different purposes. You have to have a reason or end-goal in mind. Do you just wanna get past wifi passwords? Aircrack, reaver, hashcat. Are you trying to get data from an HTTPS page? sslstrip, ettercap. Are you trying to perform exploits? nessus, metasploit. Each question requires different knowledge to perform.

As Rubba said, you really need a foundation in technology, some things require more networking skills than others, just like other things require more social engineering than some. If you can be more specific about what you are looking to accomplish, we can help you better :)

I don't want guides I just want to learn more about the OS, etc.

I already have started to code. I'm currently learning Python and I already know a bit of Swift and Java.

I'll research those, thank you for the information.

Alright, I'll look into the forums and get a better understanding of the other things.

Also, the Hacker Ethos is a good book (by true demon), and is written from the perspective of white hats. Fairly recent material too, published in the last year or two.
