HackerProof

Very up to date book. Excellent reading (even though this is a text book for me~ Not boring text material). Great book

Covers Wireless Protocols

I have been building lots of Web clippings for the Palm environment. I needed a way to authenticate users. The book's discussion on Wireless protocols helped me implement a solution that works for the Palm and Web phones. The book does a fair job of covering OS issues -- I recommend getting a book specific to an OS (such as Linux Exposed) if you need to protect a specific type of server.The discussion on protecting ASP scripts was pretty good.Over all -- worth the investment of money and time.

Discussion on SSL and Digital Certificates was Valuable

If there is a hacker-related book -- I have it ... compared to others, this book was easy to follow. My Web site must support secure credit card transactions. The book's chapters on digital certificates, SSL, and e-commerce made the process almost cut and paste. I also like and recommend Hacking Exposed.

A MUST HAVE!

As a network administrator, I think this book is a MUST HAVE! The new edition was long overdue. This is the book you want if you are looking for the best resource on network security.

Awesome!

I bought a copy of the new Hacker Proof and I highly recommend this book. There are a lot of security books out there now and Hacker Proof is a MUST have!!The book content is current and should be on every network administrator's desk. Great Read!
