Summary
The Red Team Field Manual （RTFM） is a no fluff， but thorough reference guide for serious Red Team members who routinely find themselves on a mission without Google or the time to scan through a man page。 The RTFM contains the basic syntax for commonly used Linux and Windows command line tools， but it also encapsulates unique use cases for powerful tools such as Python and Windows PowerShell。 The RTFM will repeatedly save you time looking up the hard to remember Windows nuances such as Windows wmic and dsquery command line tools， key registry values， scheduled tasks syntax， startup locations and Windows scripting。 More importantly， it should teach you some new red team techniques。

This is a reference manual to help spur your thoughts， and remind yourself of useful commands and switches。 Not a how-to guide。

Bit outdated， extremely useful

A rather unusual book。 It's for those that know what they are doing in regards to system administration， programming， and well， other things。 Good book to have as a reference should the Internet ever become restricted or not available to the public。 A rather unusual book。 It's for those that know what they are doing in regards to system administration， programming， and well， other things。 Good book to have as a reference should the Internet ever become restricted or not available to the public。 。。。more

Best book ever。

Unimpressed。 As another reviewer stated， it does indeed look like an Evernote dump。 This really is just a list of consolidated syntax/notes for someone who might want to experiment with many CTF （Capture the Flag） type events？ I can't imagine a truly seasoned and experienced penetration tester physically carrying around a book like this and using it as a practical reference。 No way。 I really didn't get much value out of this book。 If you're reading this review and you are trying to come to a dec Unimpressed。 As another reviewer stated， it does indeed look like an Evernote dump。 This really is just a list of consolidated syntax/notes for someone who might want to experiment with many CTF （Capture the Flag） type events？ I can't imagine a truly seasoned and experienced penetration tester physically carrying around a book like this and using it as a practical reference。 No way。 I really didn't get much value out of this book。 If you're reading this review and you are trying to come to a decision point for purchase。。。 if you have an "above average knowledge base" 。。。 I would not recommend。 You would be better off using free and more accessible online resources。 。。。more

What's that switch for udb only and grabbing headers in Nmap？ What's the Powershell command to up priveliges and check running procs？ Ncat in stego for shell？ I keep my RTFM right next to my BTFM。 RTF RTFM & BTFM！ ;-） What's that switch for udb only and grabbing headers in Nmap？ What's the Powershell command to up priveliges and check running procs？ Ncat in stego for shell？ I keep my RTFM right next to my BTFM。 RTF RTFM & BTFM！ ;-） 。。。more

Scripter's reference for standard hacking exploits。 Covers many languages and is a great reference when pen testing。 Scripter's reference for standard hacking exploits。 Covers many languages and is a great reference when pen testing。 。。。more

Use this book on a daily basis。 Has a good foundation for a variety of commands and example syntax， flags and other useful knowledge。 Must have for anyone who does this sort of work。

One of our textbook in class。 It’s useful when you know what you are doing and looking for。 Don’t get deployed in the field without it。

A great general pocket reference for any computer geek。

A useful reference of tools and commands with no context or explanation - a handy memory jogger as long as you already know what you are looking for and what it does。

Perhaps not a book that should be read from first to last page， but it is great reference material。 Don't leave home without it。 Perhaps not a book that should be read from first to last page， but it is great reference material。 Don't leave home without it。 。。。more

This book is essentially a decade's worth of notes from an experienced network security engineer or pen tester。 It looks like someone published an evernote notebook。 Formatting is inconsistent and at times confusing。 There is a fair amount of duplication。 Placeholders are inconsistent。 There is no descriptive text or explanatory notes。 It is a list of commands， and nothing more。 This book is essentially a decade's worth of notes from an experienced network security engineer or pen tester。 It looks like someone published an evernote notebook。 Formatting is inconsistent and at times confusing。 There is a fair amount of duplication。 Placeholders are inconsistent。 There is no descriptive text or explanatory notes。 It is a list of commands， and nothing more。 。。。more

How come this book is not illegal？ It contains so many hacks and tricks on so few pages。 This is not a book you read from start to finish。 You skim it quickly to get a view of what it contains， and then remember the rationale behind the commands。 Then look up the actual command once you need it。

Really good pocket reference of commands that can help jog memory or provide information。 Not a book to read cover to cover， but very useful on the job。

A must to have reference for red teamsThat small book contain the almost every single command I would need in penetration testing totally recommended and yet you can have a look at pwnwiki。io :）

Content was taken almost word for word from pwnwiki。io which is shady considering Ben didn't assist with that project Content was taken almost word for word from pwnwiki。io which is shady considering Ben didn't assist with that project 。。。more

Great reference manual to have on your desk。 Far from complete， but not bad at all。

Not much of a "book"， but decent。 Essentially a bunch of penetration testing centric man-pages and one-liners。 Not much of a "book"， but decent。 Essentially a bunch of penetration testing centric man-pages and one-liners。 。。。more
