Summary: One of these books that you just GOTTA have
Comment: Now here is one of these books that you just GOTTA have. If you only buy one or two books a year, this is one of them. Remember how enthused I was about the original "Hacking Exposed" in W2Knews? Well, they have done it again, but now with an all-Windows 2000 focus. This is the end-all of hacking into your W2K servers. A must-read if you want to secure your networks and a 'Stu's Warmly Recommended!' I'm holding a fresh copy just off the presses in my hot little hands. I know what I'm going to do this weekend! It's a treasure trove of information no W2K sysadmin should be without.

Summary: What The MCSE Prep Material Doesn't Tell You
Comment: Quite honestly, I believe that the material covered in Hacking Win2K Exposed should be covered in the MCSE 70-220 exam -- but it isn't. These guys not only cover all the tricks of the Black-Hat society, ranging from screening and enumeration to password cracking to privilege escalation exploits, but they also give the reader important information on how to implement countermeasures against these attacks.
Out of the box, Win2K will do a better job of protecting the OS than NT -- for example, the default domain group policy settings will prevent user enumeration, even though they permit null sessions (stand-alone systems, by contrast, are just as vulnerable to enumeration as NT 4.0). However, by default, the system is just as vulnerable to to attacks against legacy LM based password hashes as was NT -- this book explains how to avoid this while still maintaining compatibility with legacy consumer Windows products. And the named pipe impersonation privilege escalation exploit was one that I had not heard about. SP2 fixes it, but it's definitely something that you need to be aware of.
This book is a treasure trove of security-critical information for Win2K administrators. You will learn how to apply group policy to effectively lock down your Win2K systems against many of the attacks commonly used against Win2K. You'll get links to all kinds of freeware ranging from hacking tools to intrusion detection software so that you can assess the security of your own Win2K network. You'll learn about the vulnerabilities of IIS, SQL Server, and Terminal Server as well as how you can deploy these services securely.
This is real-world stuff. You just can't learn it by studying for 70-220. Hacking Win2K Exposed is probably the one book that I'd try to grab off the shelf if my library were on fire.

Summary: One of the few GREAT Win2k Books of all time!
Comment: I've read a number of Win2k Security and hacking books, and up to this point have been uniformly unimpressed. Most of these books talk about the theory behind various security concepts, such as how Kerberos works, how IPSec works on the packet level, etc. While this is important information, it doesn't help the working network engineer and admin with the practical aspects of securing the enterprise network.
Hacking Exposed Win2k breaks the mold for Windows Security books. Every few pages you'll find an Aha! experience. I'm happy with a book that provides one or two of these. This book has hundreds of them! You can use the information IMMEDIATELY. You don't have to translate "propeller head" language into action. They give you the actions in plain English.
What's truly remarkable is that these guys *are* propeller heads, but can write so a normal person not only understands, but enjoys, what they have to say! A very rare talent.
EVERYONE who runs a Win2k network needs this book. Get it and you'll not be disappointed. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
