You should really remove the entire PDF of the book that you've shared on a public repo. No Starch Press is a gem and worth protecting.

That's the first edition (2019), not the second (2025). But both are in annas archive, anyway

It's also freely available from https://kea.nu/files/textbooks/humblesec/linuxbasicsforhacke... and plenty other places with a quick search.

Why is that relevant? Are you saying that this PDF is infected?

For anyone just starting I highly recommend: "Linux Pocket Guide" and if moving forward adopting linux as a daily driver "Efficient Linux At The Command Line". Both books by Daniel J. Barnett.

Even if you're a seasoned Linux user you will learn a lot from those books.

Based on the nearly decade old first edition of the book (2018). I was wondering about the retro vibes.
