i read this book inside and out

i consumed many walkthroughs for vulnhub boxes, reproducing them step by step until i understood why it worked

i created my own writeups for each box i did so process and method would stick

i watched a LOT of ippsec

Yeah, it's watermarked so I doubt very much that you'll be able to get an up to date version.

If you just want the knowledge, this book contains a lot of similar information

Art of exploitation is a good book nonetheless but it could be a but hard to chew, it digs heavily in reverse engineering and binary exploitation. I don't know your skill level but for a newbie it could be overwhelming. I recommend just researching on general penetration testing like https://www.amazon.com/Penetration-Testing-Hands-Introduction-Hacking-ebook/dp/B00KME7GN8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1492472386&sr=8-2&keywords=penetration

Start by reading this book:

And do ALL exercises.
