Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The guts of Hacking Exposed remain devoted to explaining operating systems, switch and network vulnerabilities--used by the bad guys to get in--and how to remove them. The solutions--apart from the material on social engineering--can require an understanding of network and operating system protocols, user privileges, validation, encryption, file systems and other arcana--though the explanations supplied are detailed enough for the interested user to understand and apply firewalls, security patches, effective authentication and other effective security measures. The book is supported by a Web site with useful network analysis and other tools you can use to investigate and harden your own systems.
Hacking Exposed remains one of the most accessible books available on network security and the latest version is excellent. However, while new vulnerabilities continue to be found the basics remain the same. If Hacking Exposed were software the third edition would be a free upgrade for registered users. Even so, it should be compulsory reading for sysadmins everywhere. --Steve Patient --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Best book on hacking around!,
By
This review is from: Hacking Exposed, Sixth Edition: Network Security Secrets& Solutions: Network Security Secrets and Solutions (Paperback)
This is the best book i have read about hacking and the internet. It gives you plenty of information, examples, images and advice. It teaches you the different tools, softwares and techniques that hackers use and it displays numbers from 1 to 10 about how dangerous they are, how easy for the hacker to do is and more! Certainly a great read and its perfect for a quick look up, its abit like a dictionary for hacking but better!

4.0 out of 5 stars
as good as an all-around security book may get,
By
This review is from: Hacking Exposed, Sixth Edition: Network Security Secrets& Solutions: Network Security Secrets and Solutions (Paperback)
OK, it is (at least) weird that this book has not been reviewed yet...This book tries to cover every aspect of IS and exploits and it manages to do quite a good job. Of course it is not oriented to a particular technology as it touches many different topics such as Windows, Unix, Web Application hacking as well as hacking tools. What most people like in this book is the way every possible attack is approached and the structure it is presented through (Threat Evaluation, Attack Explanation, Mitigation/Countermeasures). This is an excellent entry point for somebody needing to gain an overall picture of possible threats, well known attack vectors and corresponding countermeasures.

Superb book - worth the weight in Gold,
By
This review is from: Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets and Solutions, 4th edition (Paperback)
Having read this book it made me realise how easy it can be to leave holes behind. If you are thinking of becoming a network security administrator or a security consultant this book will definitely enhance your knowledge.The good thing about this book is that not only does it tell you how to exploit a security hole but also how to close it to avoid the intrusion in the first place. Get this book, it is well worth it
