I had a friend who is an IT who recommended this book when I asked how he was able to track me down no matter where I got on the internet. This was a very well written book that was easy for me to understand. It made it a lot easier for me to understand how the internet works and how to properly secure my digital life. I would definitely recommend this book to more than just IT's and computer hacks.

HE is required reading for anyone with a network to secure. Also some of the attacks are quite interesting from an engineering standpoint.

Only drawback is that it doesn't go far enough. I would prefer to see more packet level information. Don't tell me it's an arp spoof, show me.

Very good for beginners. I picked up a few things I didn't know, it also helped me with my sorely lacking Windows hacking skills. Wished I found this book earlier. But I guess I benefited more from learning the hard way in the end.

Good reference book to learn how to protect yourself. One thing I was hoping to get out of this book a how to do the hacks myself to myself own network and servers but that wasn't there. Safety precautions and legal liabilities I guess.

As far as these types of books go this book offers I think the widest range of exploits, tools, and analysis for the money.
