Hack Attacks Denied: Complete Guide to Network LockDown

Rating:
Summary: NO, NO, NO
Review: Boring, bad structured, a lot of errors, too shallow, and full of not backed up assumptions.
If you are really interested in 'Hack Attacks . .' then try the very recent 'Hack Proofing Your Network (2nd Edition)', quite up to date and comprehensive.

Summary: Excessive Code and re-directs to his first book
Review: I bought this book online and never had a chance to preview it first hand. It's amazing how some books get published. There are constant references to his previous book. It crazy how many pages are just code. Nice if your a programmer I guess. Many references to their 'great' security programs too. Towards the end of the book there is 20 pages of a discovery, for what???? The one plus is the chapter on security policies. It's nothing outstanding, but compared to the rest of the book, it's literary art. Buy another book like 0735708681, which covers the same material, but is excellent.

Summary: Chrillo strikes out again
Review: This second edition of "Hack Attacks Denied" is just as good as the first, which is to say that it is extreemly badly written, not tech edited, and contains on average one glaring mistake on every other page. The countermeasures may end up opening up new holes in your system that were not there before. Avoid the recomendations of this book.
