Re: learning ethical hacking

[Kluge <kluge () blackroses com>]

Agreed, Ankit Fadia's book is worthless.  As far as learning about 
hacking/cracking, start out by picking up a copy of 'HACKERS' by Steven 
Levy (you won't regret it.)

Whatever you do, avoid anything at all related to antionline.com, 
happyhacker.com, or Kevin Mitnick...
