    You should really remove the entire PDF of the book that you've shared on a public repo. No Starch Press is a gem and worth protecting.

      That's the first edition (2019), not the second (2025). But both are in annas archive, anyway

        &quot;Someone else has pirated this, so it&#x27;s OK for me to do it as well&quot; isn&#x27;t a good argument.<p>If you see litter on the ground already, that doesn&#x27;t make it OK to litter more.

        It&#x27;s also freely available from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kea.nu&#x2F;files&#x2F;textbooks&#x2F;humblesec&#x2F;linuxbasicsforhackers.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kea.nu&#x2F;files&#x2F;textbooks&#x2F;humblesec&#x2F;linuxbasicsforhacke...</a> and plenty other places with a quick search.

        Why is that relevant? Are you saying that this PDF is infected?

          On top of that, who uses Adobe software to <i>read</i> most PDFs?

    What has this to do with &quot;hackers&quot;? And can you share your experience in your personal study with &quot;ifconfig&quot; as described in Module 3?

    For anyone just starting I highly recommend: &quot;Linux Pocket Guide&quot; and if moving forward adopting linux as a daily driver &quot;Efficient Linux At The Command Line&quot;. Both books by Daniel J. Barnett.<p>Even if you&#x27;re a seasoned Linux user you will learn a lot from those books.

    Based on the nearly decade old first edition of the book (2018). I was wondering about the retro vibes.
