Reader Reviews
Of the 310 pages of text in this book only about 50 pages have information about useful things to do to protect yourself from Viruses. The rest is defining malicious code, basic computer info (what is FAT16 and FAT32), what the FBI is doing about cyberhackers, etc. There is a pretty good chapter on social engineering, but most of the book would only be useful for people new to systems administration and in a small shop. There are only two pages about network firewalls - not much for a book with "network" in the title. A number of known worms are described but there is no strategy proposed for detecting or stopping them. There is 1 page about responding to events and only 3 pages about securing web servers. The information in this book is no longer timely or comprehensive.
