Great Easy-to-understand Quick References
09 July, 2006
This is a great, easy to read and use reference for both non-technical business leaders as well as IT professionals. It is also a great resource for home computer users, and small- to medium-sized businesses who often do not have the resources to hire dedicated security staff. The book covers the entire spectrum of ways in which computer systems can be compromised and attacked, an easy-to-understand description of how the exploits are executed, and, usually lacking in other reference books on this topic, step-by-step instructions for not only how to identify when the hacks occur, but also how to defend against them. Kevin Beaver also includes some very important warnings you need to keep in mind when performing your own vulnerability and hacking tests against your own network and systems to discover your own technical weaknesses.

Great Reference
13 December, 2009
I work in the developer and IT industry and purchased this book to get a mind set of the criminal mind when it comes to hacking. This book is great for checking your security infrastructure and ensuring its safety, by allowing you to 'hack' your own network, and then patch it to ensure others can not. Great book and easy read, I love all of the 'For Dummies' books and they are a great reference for my growing computer references.
