Customer Review: A good fourth of this book is spent telling you what a sniffer is... the rest of the book is pretty much just as useful, I think I found maybe a dozen snippets of useful information, wireshark is an excellent tool, especially for its ease in wireless settings, but this book is next to worthless, you... more info
Customer Review: I read a lot of technical books and also a lot of spy books. This mashed both of my favorite types of books. The authors who are hackers themselves did a great job of creating a story. I would recommend, and have recommended this book to a lot of people.

Nessus and snort have nothing to do with eachother and snort is more powerful than Ethereal. Its work buying if you have the money and has... more info
Customer Review: As many others have said, this book had alot of errors. Mostly in language and what not. It's seriously outdated now, and a new edition is needed (and appears to be on it's way).
