The first edition certainly peeked my interest when I came across it. It seemed very amatuerish from a written perspective though, which let the content down a bit and made It quite hard to follow. The author seemed to have a deep understanding of some subjects but only a light coverage of others. Overall good, but not worth what they were trying to charge in the shops for it. I blame the editorial approach mainly I guess. I hope it's improving in future editions. The best book I've encountered is, I can highly recommend it, it's the best $32.99 USD you will ever spend on a computer security text... period: Hacking Exposed 5th Edition (Hacking Exposed) (Paperback) Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, George Kurtz It has a companion book I haven't looked at too closely yet: Windows Server 2003 (Hacking Exposed) (Paperback) Cheers, Mike. -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk [mailto:full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk] On Behalf Of Joshua Russel Sent: Sunday, September 04, 2005 11:36 AM To: Pablo Fernandez Cc: Full-Disclosure () lists grok org uk Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Who wrote Maximum Security?

Did you really like that book????

But this question nags me all the time. Who really wrote Maximum Security? Who is the "Anonymous" guy? I think, it's not much of an issue to reveal the identity now as hacking is not much of a derogatory term and many people use it freely. -- Joshua _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
