Enterprise Security

Summary: Easy to understand w/out a lot of junk
Review: I'm sorry. ?I gave Newman 150 pages in the interest of fairness. ?But this is the worst textbook I've ever had in any class, and I've been going to school off and on for 44 years! ?It reads as if the guy was walking down the street with three or four hard copies of his manuscript on the way to the publisher, and fell down the subway stairs. ?Then, since he was up against a publishing deadline, he just shuffled the papers back together and submitted them for publication. ?Then, obviously, the publisher was in a big hurry, too, because nobody bothered to proof-read this abomination. ?I don't know very much about some of the subjects in this book, but the errors and ommissions on the subjects that I do know something about cast suspicion on all of the rest. IMHO somebody should confiscate Newman's keyboard, and he should be barred from writing ever again! Run from this book as fast as your little feet will carry you! Please note that Amazon's system doesn't allow a zero star rating, or that's what I would call this stinker.

Review: The Indian Government has adopted this book to all of its University courses on the subject of security. Teaching them how to hack our systems ;)
