This is a nice, useful collection of 125 hacks to help secure your network and systems. If you’ve read a couple dozen or more other security books and spend a lot of time reading security-related websites, there isn’t much in this book that you haven’t already seen elsewhere. It is nice to have it all in one book though. This is well written and has proven to be a worthwhile reference on my book shelf on several occasions.

I don’t feel this book is suitable for absolute beginners to information security. For those without much infosec background, seek an introductory security book prior to diving into this one.

The Windows coverage is very light. If you run a Windows-only network, this book doesn’t offer a lot for you, but still may be a worthwhile purchase. For those running a mixed network or primarily BSD and Linux systems, it offers much more value.
