Reader ReviewsThe description of this book does not do it justice. I didnt expect much but mainly purchsed it because I liked the sound of the titles of its special chapters in Wireless hacking, NASL programming (for Nessus), and hacking with the Zaurus PDA. At first glance, I wasnt sure how much material was presented. But after reading the first page or two, I realized the the purpose of the book, which is to give to-the-point information on topics such as enumeration, footprinting, remote hacking, privilege escalation, host hardening, etc. I have compared it to the other security books I already own, and this book seems to contain much more information in only about 200 pages! Since I am a sysadmin and have to travel a lot, I carry this book around with me in my laptop bag. I have only owned it for 2 days and have looked it up for reference material a bunch of times already. Good stuff. I highly recommend it, and watch out for the clever hacking techniques and goodies presented in the remote hacking chapter.
