Packt publishing is some of the worse material I've ever had the misfortune to have to use. The books don't make sense, they just seem to churn out material that isn't even edited properly or examples aren't even vetted to work properly without having to know what errors to fix. Getting a good book from them is a rarity not the norm unlike someone like O'Reilly. Save your money and don't buy anything from them.

Leaving a comment here as to not forget about it. I’m trying to get into coding and this sounds interesting to me. (Sorry for not being able to answer your question)
Seems like a bargain, but if you’re a beginner, don’t get this bundle (at least not the full one) - not just because of the quality of packt, but also because you will not get into hacking straight away, nor secure coding of asp.net.
I'm a devops engineer with a software engineering background. I've long had an interest in cybersecurity, mostly toward stuff like pentesting and ethical hacking. I'm not familiar with any of these books, would you recommend them, or nah?
