Re: Network Security Assessment 2nd Edition

[Chris McNab <chris.mcnab () trustmatta com>]

Hi Pete,

Thanks for this -- no need to worry however!! I was notified by Evgeny 
and Cesar that Argeniss had sold their 0day pack to GLEG after I had 
written most of the book. However, the two packs are still separate 
products and haven't yet been merged, so I deal with them as separate 
packs, with a note that GLEG should be contacted to purchase both of the 
packs
