Sinan Eren isn't listed as author either as several of the others from
the first edition.
Are they only listing the people that has written the new material maybe?

I'll probobly pick up this even if I got the first edition.

Dave is no longer listed as an author (I hope your content's out of it
then!).  If anyone's had a look at this, I'd love to see some opinions
on how this compares to the first edition, which was good, but had
some serious errors, and was never supported on the Wiley site as was
promised.

The book features, straight from amazon:
"""
     *  This much-anticipated revision, written by the ultimate group
of top security experts in the world, features 40 percent new content
on how to find security holes in any operating system or application
    * New material addresses the many new exploitation techniques that
have been discovered since the first edition, including attacking
"unbreakable" software packages such as McAfee's Entercept, Mac OS X,
XP, Office 2003, and Vista
    * Also features the first-ever published information on exploiting
Cisco's IOS, with content that has never before been explored
    * The companion Web site features downloadable code files
