Rating: Summary: Dumb, Dumber ... Review: It's hard to be rational or objective when you realize you've been ...; best to keep this short and sour.The author plays to a juvenile and no-brain crowd; reminds me of an Ed Wood movie. Entertaining on its own level, but I expected some technical insight. Save your money. Too bad there is not zero or minus stars. This book deserves it.
Rating: Summary: A Great Guide Newbies Review: This book got me into the world of linux. After reading it I migrated from Windows to Linux and have been happy ever since. Whoever says this book is worthless must not know how to operate a computer, because I found It very usefull. People say it is outdated but they come out with new editions every couple years to keep up with new OS's. I saw a review that it had bad grammer and spelling. The sentence they picked out, if read in the correct context, is a sarcastic remark. And for those who claim it is over priced, most tech manuals and how to books run around 30 bucks. Anyhow, it is a great read for people wanting to know more about the subject of hacking, or a guide to starting in Linux.
Rating: Summary: weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Review: This book is pretty darn good. It's not as informative as my linux or unix bibles, but sometimes it does the job. I highly Recommend this book to all the newbs out there.
Rating: Summary: Great insights into the hacking world-both legal and illegal Review: This book certainly provides more information and actual how-to's than any other book. Not excessivly technical so a non technical person could still read it and enjoy.
