Do you feel that the Georgia W. Material is still relevant for noobs in the field?

[@AlphaCybersecurity]

Absolutely! The lab materials are dated but the foundation of penetration testing is definitely still relevant

[@ronshaull1183]

Is the georgia book still relevant??

[@AlphaCybersecurity]

The foundational stuff like the phases and techniques is still relevant. Some of the tools are dated
