I have many of these books, and I can vouch for their quality. They are excellent.

Get the $15 bundle. Those are the best ones. They are a little bit out of date, but still very relevant. This is a steal!

Especially great books:

* Hacking the Art of Exploitation

* The Ida Pro Book (mostly if you use Windows)

* The Practice of Network Security Monitoring

* Practical Packet Analysis

The Metasploit book was pretty good too, and taught me a lot about Metasploit. It didn't really scratch the "deep dive" itch that I usually have though.

The physical books from this list I own are actually great (Metaploit guide, Pentesting, Book of PF, Art of Exploitation, The IDA Pro Book, and Practical Packet Analysis). I am buying this bundle because I'd love to have PDFs of these, and I'm thinking the other books must be good if they're bundled with these others which I find useful.
