Good one :0
U r good I m encouraging u
Sorry… but can you please rename the title of this post to “is available for no cost if you provide all your professional working info”…
It is certainly NOT FOR FREE if i have to provide tons of info i don’t want to provide.
Thanks
This is why you could use the temporary email. There is always a workaround or solution :)
Well… thats what i did in the first step. What do you think i’m doing here?
However after Step 1 (only email) it asked me to fill out tons of other Info.
Its another form of Clickbaiting… Lure people into downloading something by asking them just for the email, then instead of presenting a download link gradually extend the amount of info they have to enter. I hate such sites and any other form of clickbaiting.
I’m happy that i didn’t even use my standard “junkmail” address for this purpose…
The book will turn up somewhere else sooner or later so i don`t bother to fill out that stuff by trying to think of some plausable data….
But i would have appreciated a word of “warning” in the article ;)
btw: Anyway thanks for running this site :)
PS:
In fact before submitting this comment i did a google search with the words “kali linux cookbook download” and was presented with satisfying results…
