Old thread, but given It's still active, I'll provide my view In a few simple words.

There can never be a "complete guide" to hacking, beginner or otherwise.

I agree, and anything that's titled "complete guide" makes me doubt it even more. Anything that even comes close to complete would not fit in a single post. For example, this is missing fundamentals of networking, cryptography, programming, exploitation. The closest I've come to a "complete" beginner's "guide" is probably Art of Exploitation.

Well said.

"Complete", Is to have every possible content without any room for Inclusions. It's simply not possible.
