Syngress, 2004 The Guide that I needed I purchased this book based on the recommendation from a friend in my DC Group. This book was exactly what I was looking for. I have been trying to find a book that had enough technical information that I wasn't bored, but that presented it in an easy to read, step by step manner. WarDriving delivered. The book begins by giving a pretty cool history of WarDriving and then moves into two ...             Aggressive Network Self-Defense7 reviews Neil R. Wyler, Bruce Potter, ... Syngress, 2005 A lively, satisfying book for all levels of computer user Most computer security books focus on how to defend a computer system or network from outside attack: that's the basic difference between them and Neil R. Wylder's Aggressive Network Self-Defense: I'm Mad As Hell, And I'm Not Gonna Take It Anymore! The focus here is on the technical, legal and financial ramifications of a 'strike-back' and 'active defense' program which promotes doing more than ...             Wardriving & Wireless Penetration Testing2 reviews Chris Hurley, Russ Rogers, ...

Syngress, 2005 One of the most innovative adn unique books on the mindset of a hacker This book is hard to put down! It was like looking into a window of the underground world that most people, even those in the Information Security Industry, are unaware exists. The technical aspects in thoe book gave the storyline a credibility that other books lack. The characters were colorful and well developed. The book opened my eyes to the very real threat of identity theft and how ...             IT Security Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Information Security Job1 review Chris Butler, Russ Rogers, ... Wiley, 2007 Good review for a pro, but not meant for a newbie. Information security is a hot career area and is among the strongest fields within IT for growth and opportunity. With excellent long-term career prospects, increasing cybersecurity vulnerabilities and an increase in security & privacy regulations and legislation, the demand for security professionals is significant. Even with a bright future, that does not necessarily mean that a career in ...             OS X for Hackers at Heart: The Apple of Every Hacker's Eye Bruce Potter, Johnny Long, ...

A quick initial look showed discussions of wireless VLANs, WPA, and command syntax for Cisco gear. I thought this would be a good book to read and review, since I try to avoid reading and reviewing books I won't find useful. About halfway through HTCASAWN I made a sad discovery: 7 of 12 chapters are ...             Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkit11 reviews Charl Van Der Walt, HD Moore, ...

Great book to read to prepare to start your CEH or CISSP studies.             Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkit, Volume 21 review Chris Hurley Syngress, 2007 A good generic penetration testing reference guide.

Bayles, Chris Hurley, ... Syngress, 2005 A book that's been needed for a while Even though the content in this book sways from one end of the information security spectrum to the other reaching the point of identity crisis, I really like its approach. I speak on this topic quite often and I'm finding it's the one area of information security that has remained mostly untouched - yet desperately needed - in this hot field. There are several success-related topics missing, but ...             OS X Exploits and Defense2 reviews, ... Syngress, 2008 Disorganized and lacking depth OS X Exploits and Defense suffers from a number of problems. The organization is totally random. Each author's chapters are unrelated to the others, and there's no real progression. The description of the book seems to be more advanced, targeted at people who write exploits and do system level hardening, but the actual content is mostly beginner-oriented. The writing is poor and in need of ...              search for books aggressive, career, defense, detect, exploits, exposed, hacker, hackers, hacking, identity, information, infosec, interviews, landing, network, newnes, penetration, secrets, securing, security, self-defense, skillz, source, stealing, tester, testing, toolkit, volume, wardriving, wireless books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
