I have all 5, I bought them for a class, and they are terrible. They are poorly written, horribly outdated, and the production values are nonexistent. Many of the pictures and diagrams look like they were photocopied and taped into the book, and there is no coherent progression of the information. Each tidbit of information is given in an arbitrary order with no rhyme or reason; there's no "flow" from one thing to the next, just random factoids. And when I say outdated, much of the information is at LEAST 10 years old, and there is little mention of any of the new developments, even things that happened a couple years before the time of printing. If you need these for a class, get other books to supplement these. If you're just interested in the subject, look elsewhere.
I bought this book specifically for the sections on Macintosh/OS X. I have not read the other chapters, so this review is limited to just this section.The information provided applies to OS X versions 10.5 and earlier, most of it 10.4 and earlier. These are legacy systems that anyone interested in security would not be using. On top of this, the information provided in the book offers not a single real-world solution to the known problems other than to upgrade to non-legacy versions of the OS.
Needed these books for my Ethical Hacker course in college. It's exactly what I needed. I didn't think the codes would be good in the book, but they were! Thanks!
Very useful resource for anyone preparing for the Certified Ethical Hacking certification or taking a college upper level cybersecurity course.
thank you
