Product Description

 Hacking Exposed 6 - #1 Best-Selling Computer Security Book February 9, 2009

George Kurtz, Stuart McClure and Joel Scambray have been a staple of my Information Security library since the first Hacking Exposed book. Things change quickly in the security world and the authors of Hacking Exposed 6: Network Security Secrets & Solutions have done a tremendous job at taking a great thing and making it better by updating it with new attacks and countermeasures.
Kurtz, McClure, and Scambray have maintained the core of what makes Hacking Exposed indispensible and they have once again added to and updated the information to keep the book current with the latest attacks, exploits and hacker techniques.
The basic format of the book remains the same. The beginning covers footprinting, scanning and enumeration to identify potential target systems. It then moves on to a section regarding system hacking, divided into Windows and Unix sections, then into Infrastructure Hacking with sections on Remote Connectivity or VoIP hacking, Network Devices, Wireless Hacking, and Hacking Hardware.
The appendices list commonly used TCP and UDP ports and the services that use them as well as providing a graphic representation of the Top 14 Security Vulnerabilities.
There are a handful of books that should be "must-reads" for anyone responsible for computer or network security and this is one of them. Learning the information in this book will help you learn current attacks and hacking techniques and develop effective countermeasures to protect your network. Hands down, Hacking Exposed 6 should be on every network or security administrator's desk for quick reference.
Buy this book. Even if you already have a previous edition, the new and updated information in this book are worth the investment.

I very much like the hacking exposed series. It provides solid coverage of many topics ranging from scanning and enumeration to privilege escalation. If you are looking for an introduction to the hacking world this is it.
My complaint is that each new edition does not have nearly enough differences with previous editions. Frankly if you have version 5, you can skip six. I have learned to buy about every 2nd or 3rd edition.
Awesome book May 14, 2009

I haven't read through the book yet, just started it and it is exactly what I wanted to get started down the security career path. Amazon delivered it quick and in good condition. A big plus is that it came out in January of 2009 and so is pretty up-to-date.
