    Great job. The book is 427 pages.

    Why not put the video on YouTube?

    Thanks for sharing. This looks interesting. Impressive achievement.

    This book is currently not really relevant for me, so I just skimmed the samples on Amazon. I found the technical content to be reasonably accurate and interesting although sometimes a little bit verbose (e.g., the section about 'what is a password') or slightly imprecise. In general, I think this book might have benefited from a thorough copyediting pass. There are quite a few grammar errors and unpolished sentences in the book, e.g.:

    > The reason why Linux is imperative is that well, for one, most of the tools we will use, while indeed have builds for other systems, like Windows, in this book we will work with Linux.

    Wishing you success and keep on writing!

    Congratulate on finishing such a big project on a complicated topic, and putting in all this effort so that others can learn as well. I enjoyed reading the first few pages on Amazon

    Congratulations! The book looks great.

    I would love to hear more about the process of writing and preparing it for publishing. It's self-published? How did you do the typesetting and the diagrams?
