Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Microsoft has finally decided to publicly support network security in Windows XP, a new area covered in the third edition of bestseller, Hacking Exposed. Other new coverage includes attacks on 802.11 wireless networks. But despite details of recent high-profile worms such as Code Red, most of the material is carried over pretty well unchanged from earlier editions.

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.

Product Description
This edition contains updated hacks and countermeasures throughout, including denial of service attacks, email attacks, viruses and web hacks. It also covers database security, Windows.NET Server, and Novell 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book - worth the weight in Gold, 14 Mar 2006
By Jma Pinero-rey "jose_pinero" (Ely) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable guide to computer security, 17 April 2001
By A Customer
If you work in IT, or you have even a passing interest then buy this book. In fact, if you even have access to the 'net then buy this book. If you're looking for a light hearted approach to what can be a tricky subject, then look no further. It offers a very full explanation of security threats, attacks and - most importantly - countermeasures on a variety of different platforms. Invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 22 Dec 2000
I thoroughly enjoyed this very informative book. As a registered security advisor providing security advice and solutions to government and commercial organisations, I strongly recommend this book to anyone involved with computer security. The authors present this complex subject in a clear and cohessive manner and should be a must for anyone serious about computer security.
