Summary: UberHacker...
Review: "This Product Sucks... buy mine instead!" Those aren't reviews, they're sophomoric and shameless plugs. I wonder how many of these people actually READ the book.

Summary: Terrible waste of paper...
Review: Carolyn P. Meinel is well known throughout the hacking community as a fraud, a wannabe and a charlatan. Anyone interested in hacking would be far better off picking up the most recent addition of "Hacking Exposed" or one of the many other excellent computer security and hacking books out there. With so many good books on the subject being published there is no valid reason for anyone to waste their hard earned money on garbage like Carolyn P. Meinel's books.

Summary: Author is either incompetent, or a crook, possibly both.
Review: DO NOT BUY THIS! This lady is either incompetent, a crook, or both. This book is poorly written, has no flow, difficult to read, and gives the reader little information worth retaining. What little reliable information is in this book is outdated, and so poorly written as to be a joke. Her stories about the FBI remind me of that old Bloom County cartoon where Oliver frames Steve Dallas for hacking. The FBI arrests him, and the judge overseeing the case states "Mr. Dallas, you couldn't even pick your nose, let alone operate a computer, I hereby find you innocent of the charges." I am sure that's EXACTLY what the FBI said after talking with this lady for all of 5 minutes. Buy "Hacking Exposed" instead, you will be a much happier person for it.

Summary: Traditional Carolyn
Review: Having read prior works of Carolyn, I picked up this book at the local Borders with some pre-concived expectations of what I would find. I can not say I was mutch dissapointed. Mutch unlike what the title suggests, the reader is presented with rehashes of old, worn-out information that is available on the net for free. If the prospective reader is intrested in getting into professional penetration testing, or just intrested in what this 'underground' thing is all about, they would better spend their cash on "Hacking Exposed, 2ed".

Summary: ......- dont waste your time or money.
Review: I am sure there are gerbils somewhere that understand computers and hacking better than this author. The sad thing is, this isnt the first book on this subject. (yes the others are equally as bad if not worse).

Summary: Nothing new!
Review: I read her first book entitled "The happy Hacker" I was fastinated hoping to get more info of legal/illegal hacking but found little about it. I feel her first book was till the best while her 2nd book..more of entertainment coz more about herself, her friend and setting up linux server (partition HDD and etc). Lots of the information written here can still be found in her first book. Better read "Hacking Exposed" than this book. Sorry!

Summary: Read this review only: BUY THIS BOOK!
Review: Many people have tried to discredit Carolyn P. Meinel and her books. But after reading it, I say this: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Besides giving the dirty secrets mainly kept in illegal hacking groups, she does it keysroke by keystroke while describing even the processes. To go beyond that, she includes many personal stories that have helped her develope as one of the worlds greatest hackers. A must for every hacker wishing to aspire beyond the mere state of "kode kiddie". Read this book!!! (Also, disregard the negative reviews, because the criminal hacking groups hope to keep Carolyn from writing books. Make them unsuccessful--Buy the book!!!

Summary: A "must-read" for anyone charged with computer security
Review: Now in a completely revised and updated edition, Uberhacker II: More Ways To Break Into A Computer by Carolyn Meinel is a straightforward and "user friendly" guide which is filled with basic information that can be used to compromise security in computers - as well as protecting them against just such intrusions. Unapologetic in its explicit and meticulous deconstruction of the weaknesses in Unix, Linux, Windows, and other systems, Uber-hacker II is a profusely exampled and information-laden text which is a "must-read" for anyone charged with computer security in this volatile age of computer hackers and cyber thieves.
