Summary: If you're new to the field, start with this book.
Comment: I am responsible for a 50+ person intrusion detection mission, and I've recommend this volume to each new analyst since I read it in Oct 99. The is one of the few mainstream publications which methodically and clearly steps through the process of exploiting an Internet target. I am surprised earlier reviewers wanted more how-to information -- just how detailed does it have to be? For example, if some folks I watched last fall trying RDS/MDAC exploits had followed the author's examples, they would have done more than deface web sites. While books detailing exploits risk instant obsolescence -- notice "Maximum Security" will release edition 3 soon -- this work maintains the proper balance between tech and theory. For new security personnel, "Hacking Exposed" provides a logical and easy-to-follow reference; older hands will enjoy pointing to the book when new folks ask questions! Thanks Stuart, Joel, and George!

Summary: All around great book
Comment: Hacking exposed has a rather deceitful title however, is very honest if you read the cover. It has detail instruction and explaination for many security features and flaws in Unix, Linux, Windows NT, Windows 95/98, Windows 2000, Routers, and even individual freeware and commercial software releases. This is a great book to get your foot in the door on your basic network security. There is too much information on security available to print it all in one book, and the authors realize this and do not deny it. This book is not however and guide to hacking, and if you are interested in a book on hacking look elsewhere. Hacking is only presented with the 'disclaimer' of using it on yourself to make your system security stronger, which is a very valid point. Hacking cannot be published publicly, because the whole idea of hacking is contingent upon flaws in the way that software is set up and created. If these flaws are released to the public, namely the creators of the software, the exploitable point will most likely be fixed and rendered obsolete and useless. This book explains flaws that have exsisted and how you can fix them so they cannot be exploited to your disadvantage. -dM

Summary: Good, but hard to keep up to date!
Comment: The book is great for telling you what it has to tell you. Unfortunately, so many new exploits are found each day, it is hard for the book to keep up to date. I am already a couple of revisions behind. Still, it is a worthwhile read.
