Review
By the author's providing a 'hacker' perspective, readers will more fully understand the ramifications of having an insecure computer, server, network, program, database and or policy. The book [includes] … a good table of contents that is extensive, very organized and thorough … . … [T]here are important discussions of the non-technical kind [of insecurity] like policy, which is too often overlooked in many organizations. … What is most impressive about the book is its outlines of specific exploits and attacks with prescribed defenses. … Coupled with good illustrations and detailed explanations[,] this is a great resource for both academic and public libraries.

Free The Hacker's Handbook: The Strategy behind Breaking into and Defending Networks
"The Hacker's Handbook" is a comprehensive and entertaining volume on security. It has most of the defining traits of a great book, such as clearly stated goal (authors realize that lots of security books are out there and one needs to differentiate) as well as some unique content on application attacks.
The book is a technically sound volume, I found very few factual mistakes. I found some interesting content on central auth servers such as radius, which I haven't seen described well elsewhere. Defensive tool info is a bit jumbled and not new. For example, IDS coverage is too non-specific to be useful. I also found a couple of other chapters a bit weak on interesting content.
The book covers the security field on many levels - from concepts to scripts - and can be successfully used by entry-level people as well as experts. The book is better suited for technologists rather than managers. Security analysts/admins, hands-on security managers, security savvy system and network admins, students of computer security can benefuit from a book.
Anton Chuvakin, Ph.D., GCIA, GCIH is a Senior Security Analyst with a major security information management company. He is the author of the book "Security Warrior" (O'Reilly, 2004). His areas of infosec expertise include intrusion detection, UNIX security, forensics, honeypots, etc. In his spare time, he maintains his security portal info-secure.org
...This book covers a wide array of topics, focusing on three aspects of each topic: technical background, hacking, and security. The coverage is both comprehensive and practical. The book explains the technical and conceptual foundations of computer security. Its information is organized in a way that makes it easy to find material relevant to any questions you may have regarding hacking and security. And every chapter points to additional materials if you want to investigate further.
You'll learn all about the anatomy of various types of attacks, including the five elements of attack strategy: reconnaissance, mapping targets, system or network penetration, denial-of-service, and consolidation. You'll also learn about the tools you'll need to defend your network, how they all work within a security framework, and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Included are tools for the purposes of access control, authentication, auditing, privacy, intrusion detection, data integrity, and more.
If you are a network or security administrator, protecting your network's integrity is one of your most important tasks. Before you begin your chess match with the world's hackers, make sure you know the rules, the tools, and the possibilities of the game. Make sure you understand the strategies that will be used against you and that you can use against your opponents. Make sure you have a copy of The Hacker's Handbook close at hand.
