5.0 out of 5 stars Covers all the important topics, 10 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This book was a good read and very informative. I've been administrator for awhile but never paid much attention to security. This got me up to speed fast.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I thought, 28 Oct 1997
By A Customer
Whereas I initially thought that this verbose book could teach you a lot, this is not true. The author has compiled NT related information which would not stand up when (for instance) used as course material.

Two examples: 1. On cumalative file access permissions (page 205) the auther says that permissions are added up but forgets to mention that a DENY preceeds this. He also includes a huge list of what can be done with which permission but forgets to mention that COPY is possible with READ rights only. 2. On shares: The author describes that NT share level rights and File level rights intertwine, he claims its may be confusing at first and then fails to list the sequence of checks NT performs to know whether you have access: (logon->)share security->folder security->file security. In other words, you do not know how access controls on shares work from this book!

To finalise: a lot of info, very much scattered around, something to pick some info from, show off with maybe, but not really for reading :-(. The problem examples are just a few from the bunch. Clearly a rush to the NT security quick bucks job, not even fun reading, a pitty. Have a look at (NCSA-McGraw-Hill) Rutstein's book first (ISBN 0070578338), at least this author knows his stuff and sticks to facts.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK and longwinded, 27 Oct 1997
By A Customer
If you look for "what NT itself can do to improve your security" and you're not an NT expert yet, good book. It get's a bit long at times, with repeating stuff a just to make sure you got it. A bit of buzzwords compatability ... but if you have the time to read ... you'll learn a lot.

For people born with NT, buy the Mc-Graw-Hill-NCSA book, a lot quicker and to the point. Neither really give you much of a 'NT bugs and flaws' insight. Go to www.ntsecurity.net (not .com) and other related sites for that ;-).

4.0 out of 5 stars Very well written, but a little paranoid
I think that Mr. Sheldon has the concepts of NT security down cold, but he needs to understand that most of us do not work for the CIA or NSA. Read more
