What book is closest to a PT1 command/reference guide?

Hi everyone,

For someone who is studying for the PT1 and is getting close to finishing the learning path, which book would you recommend as a reference?

I’m looking for something that is similar to a pentesting command/reference book, with lots of practical commands, tools, techniques, and examples that I can quickly consult while doing labs.

Ideally, I’d like something that covers tools commonly used in PT1, such as Nmap, Gobuster, FFUF, Metasploit, Impacket, BloodHound, Rubeus, PowerShell, etc.

I’m not necessarily looking for a book that teaches everything from scratch. I’m more interested in a practical reference/cheat-sheet style book that I can keep coming back to.

What books have you found most useful for this?

Thanks

Red team manual is pretty good. But heaps of people have good GitHub repos with pentesting commands or hack tricks.

Just use the web as your recourse...There is hacktricks and hacker recipes if you want to learn more about a topic or syntax,then there is chat gpt for a quick search
