I have read the first hundred or so pages in this book. I am somewhat critical of the past books Tim has written but this book is byfar his best. The first section is is extremely dense in terms of ass-kicking material. I have read many books in the area of personal development and this book outlines the best methods to truly learn anything.

It features all the psychology behind learning and it also includes CONCRETE steps that anyone can take and apply to other subjects besides cooking. The unique way that Tim explains the principles of learning anything is what makes this book so wonderful. I have never before understood so well what I need to do to learn anything.

The topics are arranged in such a way that understanding will be achieved. Lots of great tips in this book on how to protect yourself from the bad guys! I always was curious about hack computers, for good of course and find the best way to prevent damage or anyone stealing my information on my devices. The author gives pleasant considered getting moreover secured. It is a specialized for me uniquely the course of dialog of the projects utilized for hacking. I preferred that part about the PC infections that are spreading these days and bringing about devastation.

One of the best book. I could not put it down until i read it fully. Author has explained the memory methods in a a very simple way. You actually do not need to use anything extra just apply those methods in your daily routine and the magic starts happening.
Author is giving you everything you need. but only limit which is stopping you is your self.

I love this book .....

I had great time reading this book.
I mainly liked it because

- it is different than the 'usual' security books
- it never gets boring
- the historical parts were very interesting and educational
- it is extremely well structured
- it gives you a good sense of what is possible in hacking today
- it transports the methods and concepts of the ninjas into today's security (and hacking) world.

All in all I think it is a very good book to read and worth the time spend.
The combination of both parts (the technical and the historical) encourages the out-of-the-box thinking.

Hacking Linux comes in six parts, each of which is worth the price of the book in whole.  Part one: security overview covers all the basics like file permissions, setuserid problems, buffer overflows/format string attacks, tools to use before you go online, and mapping tools like nmap.  Part two comes in from more of the hacker angle with social engineering and trojans, attacks from the console, and then concludes with two excellent chapters about netowrk attacks and TCP/IP vulnerabilities.
All the stuff to this point assumes the hacker is on the outside.  Part three takes over and shows you what the hacker will do once they've gotten on, such as attacking other local users including root, and cracking passwords.  It becomes obvious that you need to protect things from insiders as much as from the outsider, because the outsider will usually get in as a normal user first, and if you can prevent him or her from getting root access, the damage cannot be nearly as severe.  A lot of books don't cover this angle at all, and it's done superbly here.
Part four covers common problems in internet services. First they discuss mail servers.  Sendmail, Qmail, Postfix, and Exim each get covered in detail - it's nice to see more than just Sendmail discussed in a security book.  Of course, it'd be even nicer to see something other than Sendmail installed on a Linux machine by default.  Next they cover problems with FTP software and problems with the FTP protocol.  I'd never seen "beneath the hood" and realized how wierd FTP really was, and why it's not supported by firewalls very well, and the authors show you the inner workings of it so anyone can understand the problems.  They continue with Apache and CGI/mod_perl/PHP/etc problems, both from a coding standpoint and how to secure against outsiders and your own web developers.  Next it's on to Firewalls (iptables and TCP wrappers) and lastly (distributed) denial of service attacks.  The countermeasures for the DOS problems are excellent, and a must for anyone with a server.
 Part five covers everything a hacker can do once they've broken in.  They describe trojan programs, trojan kernel modules, and configuration changes that can be used to keep root access, or hide the hacker activity, or let them get back in should the computer be partially fixed. This was not only complete, but scary in how many different things they showed.  It works both as a blueprint for what you need to defend against, how to clean up after a hacker has gotten in, and also how you could back door a machine if you get in.  I'll leave the ethics up to you.
 Lastly we have part six, which is the appendicies. While most times I ignore appendicies, these are really an integral part of the book, and are referenced  throughout the book all over.  (This very good, because it keeps the book from having too much repeated countermeasures.) They discuss post-breakin cleanup, updating your software and kernel, and turning off daemons (both local and network ones) and a new case study.  The book is good about covering Linux from a distribution-agnostic standpoint (it doesn't assume you use RedHat, unlike everything else out there) but in these appendicies they cover the differences you may encounter.  They show you how to use dpkg/apt-get as much as RPM as much as .tgz packages, discuss both inetd and xinetd, and even svscan/supervise.  They are extreemly complete.
 Hacking Linux Exposed 2nd Edition is required reading for anyone with a Linux machine, period.

This is a good book. I have read several hacking related books and this book is the most current in terms of teaching things like Return Oriented Programming, Fuzzing, ASLR/DEP handling, heap overflows and how to go about doing vulnerability analysis from scratch.

I would consider this book as a hack for learning any language. The main concepts are very well explained and are to the point. The book is realistic in its offering and does not provide lofty promises at all. One has to be patient in learning any language and it is well explained in the book. With these techniques one can learn any language in a relatively short period of time.

This book is a step by step guide on the basics of hacking and the history and future of hacking. Fun read and excellent information. An excellent course is offered here in this book to enchant my computer experience. This course includes hacking tutorials, resources, and brief-in-depth hacking information that helps me to be enriched with computer usage experience. This book is planned to guide me into the world of hacking and referred onto free interactive online courses, This book was an interesting read on the basics of hacking.

What a great book! It's really two books in one. There's the incredible adventures of the author as a spy / agent and there's the excellent advice on how to develop trust. In today's crazy worlds where we read about Russian hacking all day long, you have to wonder what it takes to develop communications with people who are diametrically opposed to you. This book lays out the tenants of trust-building in an extremely readable fashion combining true-life adventures and a philosophy that can help one learn how to create more meaningful business, interpersonal or even romantic relationship based on real trust. Buy it! You won't regret it..

this is a fantastic book for anyone looking to get a jump on house hacking. I  have read all the Bigger Pockets books and  as always it is a great read. Scott Trench sets a realistic plan for anyone trying to organize there financial life and become a serious investor to gain financial freedom.

First of all I would like to that Mr Scott for sharing such a wonderful piece of work with us. Congratulations for the book and best wishes from me.
Now to the question I asked, don't we all at some point in our life routine become little incautious or quite confident about the security related to us, our belongings and our surrounding?
The answers is a big YES. And for many that "remiss" is not little. Scott has explained well in his book how this can bite us back through the mishaps in his life.  The Book is aptly titled and shows that Scott, a renowned business man and cyber security expert, can even himself get hacked.

Before I continue, let me be clear for those who think this a book about how to hack" you will be very much disappointed.

Now to the way the book is. The book is well divided in 4 parts and slowly explains you all major part to the world of hacking. The book isn't enough technical and mustnt be used as a guide for creating your security defenses. This is more of an awareness type read that is rekindling the caution inside of people regarding security in this era of Cyber Crimes. However Scott has considered and explained well many sectors and important concepts in a lay man's term like DDoS , Dark web , Spammers , Social Engineering , etc.
One who doesn't even use computers much should also read this. There's an example in the book regarding Scott's Grandpa that explains this well.

Another thing I want to quote from the book That I liked the most is:
"Scan your social media followers often . . . you never know when they may be gathering information to hack you"

I always advise people on this thing. And once you read this book you will know and understand the reason very well. There are many things in the book that I can point here. But it would be better if you buy it and read it. It's a value for money and can save you a lot in your future.

So in short I recommend all to buy and read this book. It will surely change the way you look the world around you. And I hope you learn from it and be safe.

'Hackers Beware', is a very useful book, no doubts. But its son: 'Anti-Hacker Toolkit' is by far, the most useful 'practical' book in the area of computer security. Tons. (I do mean Tons.) of cases and scenarios are thoroughly reviewed. Any relevant TOOL (offensive or defensive) is explored, lot of case studies are presented (in depth), and as an added bonus, almost every scenario is discussed both for Windows and UNIX.
It is not a theoretical book, it is a real 'learn by understanding how to hack' book. However,even if no too much, you'll need some basic knowledge about the area, to take full advantage of this book.
Needless to say the companion CD is, not only multi platform, but FULL of valuable tools.
I have reviewed a lot of security books (good books), but this one really impressed me very much. The forensic chapters alone, justify buying the book !!

Excellent presentation, perfect information..The author demonstrates the basic functions of the language and points the reader to his more detailed books for more information. I plan to keep this book handy, just as a quick reference,You will find a step-by-step discussion of activities which are followed by hackers during any hacking venture. Highly recommended!

I've discovered many sites and books that offer an Introduction to hacking, yet many books neglect to establish a solid stack of information for me. It was so disappointing, unpleasant and I nearly surrendered. I saw this book and thought it was a decent book for any individual who truly doesn't know about every one of the types of hacking. Furthermore it gave me an incredible tip on how to shield myself from being hacked. I prescribe this book to everybody who needs to figure out how to hack.

I have liked Brian Tracy's books since I stumbled upon them some years ago, but I honestly believe this may be his best offerring of all.
I stumbled upon this at the local Barnes and Noble and was excited that he has written a new book.
This book contains the essential steps anyone can take to strive for excellence and succeed in life.
The book is exactly long enough at 116 pages -- but you'll want more because it is such great reading.
This is wisdom distilled down to its very essence.  If you have no plan and you have no focus, pick up the book and read a page.
As soon as you do you'll find you can't put it down.  All the while you'll be gaining great insight about the essential things that will help you be happier and more succesful.
I've been a software developer for over 20 years and so when I opened this book and read the page that said,
"You will only be really successful and happy when you become excellent at something" I knew exactly what he meant.
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to strive for excellence.  You won't always succeed at the tasks you take up, but you will succeed at learning, growing and getting better at whatever you truly focus on.
This is a great little book.  It is filled with great insight, but it is also filled with actual activity that you can take to grow your life.
Read it and you'll love it.  This little book could be the new beginning you are looking for.  Pick it up and enjoy.
Even if you've read a lot of other books similar to this one as I have, I know you'll find a lot to reset your focus on.  Great book.
