Don't Listen to Those Who Gave This 1 Star!

Although it is true that some of the information included in this book is fairly basic and common-knowledge - that's what a lot of people need. This is a MUST READ for any up and coming hacker and should even be read by more advanced hackers - whether black or white hat. It also has information that is good to have on hand - such as a chapter on "The Hacker's Toolbox" which covers all the basic tools that any hackers need. It can be hard to find a list of all the types of software and names of the programs themselves, all in one place. So this is a convenience. Buy this book!

Great Book!!!! I have both editions.

This is a great book. Before i knew anything about hacking i bought this book. Great buy!! helped me on my way! This book isnt for some person to learn everything there is to know about hacking. Its for someone knew to the world of hacking. Your right maybe other books give you more info but hey how many of them cost around 15 bucks! Yeah i remember the last time i had a spare 50+ dollers laying around...NEVER!lol This is a good book and should be on every hackers book shelf. Thanks Dr.K

Not for "Script Kiddies"

This book is aimed at newbies/intermediate hackers/security experts, and is one of the few on the subject which actually reveals any code/technique. Obviously anyone with any experience should know all of the knowledge presented, but one has to start somewhere. Others such books includeComputer Hacking : Detection and Protection by Imtiaz Malik and Richard Scott (UK authors !)and The Happy Hacker by Carolyn P. Meinel (by no means perfect, but she has been much maligned by US misogynists who seem to resent that fact that a woman can write/lecture about anything technical) Given the legal restrictions in the UK (Computer Misuse Act 1990, Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000) the publishers Carlton Books have forced the author to leave out details of lots of techniques with which he is familiar - remember we do not have constitutionally protected "free speech" By all means invest $30 - $50 a time in all kinds of computer security books, but none of these will give you as much of a hands on flavour of what real hackers do/think about...This book is NOT a "script kiddie" manual, and is streets ahead of such classics as "Secrets of a Super Hacker" by Knightmare

GREAT FOR HACKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's the best book what I ever read!!! Realy.!
