Free Hacking Exposed, Sixth Edition
My first exposure with hacking series was back in 2002 the 2nd edition, in the Foreword of the 2nd edition they summed up the expectation and identified the who should read this book "...But if a computer network has a security vulnerability and no one knows about it, is it insecure?".
In writing this review I like to bring to attention the fact that I am not sure who is the intended audience anymore.
I have seen this book on every network engineer's and self proclaimed security guru's book shelf, many of the one's I have seen were not even used once.
So my question is why do people keep on buying this book, is it the title? The marketing? Or is it a cult think? I was given the 6th edition as a gift. I read most of it out of curiosity, and after a while I realized that this book does not have a true audience.
This book is not written for;
.-The hacker since many of the hacking techniques are either irrelevant or old and most hackers know a better way.
.-The criminal. See previous note.
.-An auditor. If it was, it would have specific processes on how to conduct and audit.
.-Management, they don't care how hping2 works.
.-Those who are concerned about wireless security. There is a "hacking exposed for wireless" book for them.
If we take away the fat, this book has about 200 pages of useful information, most of which can be found using the authors favorite search engine Google
why did I give it a 2 star instead of just 1, I did like the entire 10th Chapter, this section has very relevant information, and it has a purpose, it introduces the concept of governance and use of standards such as ISO17799 which is actually ISO27001:2005 and NIST Publications 800-64 and 800-27. It explains the SDLC although the author calls it SDL combining the Life with Cycle. So if this is your First Hacking Exposed book, buy it with caution, but if you already have one, don't "upgrade".
Best Fishes and thank you for reading.

Good book, giving a big overview of the hacking scene. Mainly focused on old-school hacking(networking), it's a good read before attacking the other books of the series (Hacking Windows Exposed, Hacking Linux Exposed, etc), it will give you a introduction to those more focused readings. Maybe on some chapters, the authors abuse the list of tools, not paying much attention to the concept behind, but in a general way its well balanced. I face this book like a reference and all the security people should have it on their bookshelves.
