The whole series is the curriculum for the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) curriculum. It does a great job preparing you for this exam. I was surprised how many of the tools in the curriculum are out of date or less than optimal compared to some better COTS tools out there. Granted, F/OSS should be covered extensively, but not to the exclusion of good COTS solutions.
