Trzecie wydanie i nie jest źle. Książka to taki biedatutorial, gdzie rozpatrywane jest klika przypadków z Wiresharkiem.

I bought this in the hopes I could use it as a course textbook to base a class around. This book misses its mark - a beginner (in my opinion) needs to know more than the book provides, but it seems in a few chapters the author is tired of writing and leaves some critical areas for the reader to dig up on their own. And the book also seems to have a *lot* of visual fluff - 3/4 page Wireshark and terminal screenshots. The book takes 180 pages, but without the fluff it would likely come in around 100.

Worked through this in an afternoon to brush up on some rusty skills and see if there was anything new to learn.

This was one of the weaker tutorials I've gone through. The instructions were often unclear and very poorly-formatted. There was also nothing new, for me. Maybe if you're a complete novice this is an ok starting point, but if you're that green it will be even harder to follow.
