So glad it was available for my class
So glad it was available for my class. On campus it was close to $200 and brandnew online, it was about $150. Purchasing a downloaded version worked out great. $55.00

Great for Penetration and/or Security Testers
It is written well and helped me immensely to understand the roll of a Penetration and/or Security Tester. I never would have thought that there is indeed such a thing as an ethical hacker. But, if you are going to know the system’s weaknesses you have to approach it like a hacker to see them.

Defence! Defence!
I would assume this is out of date by now, Pick up the latest edition. In fact with Hacking and Network defense, even the latest edition may be too late. JK. Book is excellent and gives great insight into the world of Hacking and how to defend against it.

Just the Basics
I bought this book for one of my college classes and for one it was about $40 cheaper than what the college had to offer, and secondly its a good way to learn the basics.A Special note to who ever is considering on buying this book, If you buy it used make sure the CD is included, I bought mine and there was no CD that came with the book. But for the most part you can go online and get the software that they require for free.

It is a good back to learn the basics of hacking and penetration testing. It has some good basic tutorials and hacking tools. Great for begginers and has some good information about the field.

I like the book, but the DVD won’t boot on any computer I have
I loved the first edition of this book, which introduced me to the OSSTMM and one of my most productive working relationships, with Pete Herzog. What I’ve read of this edition, so far, is excellent. But I do wish I could get the DVD to boot – on anything. I’ve tried 5 computers so far, from an old P3 to a brand-new Win7 machine. It appears that the squashfs initial ramdisk isn’t supported by lot of BIOSes – but why wouldn’t it work with a brand-new machine?
