Although this book is not too bad, I've read better. Let's face it, SSL is "like so yesterday"--pardon the analogy to the valley girls-remember them, way back?
After reading the hacks-n-slashes about this book, I purchased a copy. I agree, the review is lame, but the book is not bad. In fact-for those who post without first-hand experience, truthfully this is the most complete reference on security hacking to date! As i said once before-I've been a part-time dabbler in the arts and a full-time security consultant for over 9 years now. Even so, to say I found this book to be an elating learning experience would be an understatement. For the veterans, it's an excellent reference-from the compilations and coding grounds, to the vulnerability listing that covers ALL ports & services. The cd has a repository of 15,000 security & underground links and tigersuite is useful too-nothing new there, but a collection of ip tools and penetrations from a single interface that requires very little resources. Normally i wouldn't waste my time, but this book is getting an undeserved bad rap.

yeah, but it's still strong today. i've found it on many systems this year alone.
