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

"Someone else has pirated this, so it's OK for me to do it as well" isn't a good argument.
If you see litter on the ground already, that doesn't make it OK to litter more.

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

What has this to do with "hackers"? And can you share your experience in your personal study with "ifconfig" as described in Module 3?

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.
