That's funny because the definition for "hacker" states: "...A slang term for a computer enthusiast, i.e., a person who enjoys learning programming languages and computer systems and can often be considered an expert on the subject(s)..." So in theory wouldn't MS be making their own obsolete?
I use VPC6 on a PowerBook G4 w/Win XP. Unfortunately the product is basically useless for running any graphical software, even when configured with 90% available resources. However, the latest patch and Jaguar upgrade does speed it up a bit (still no good for gaming though).
Sounds like you've gotta give em credit for a "review-spamming script". I've never heard of or seen such a script. I thinks that's rather hilarious (lol). I'd like to see that.
I didn't see the first edition but I assure you this one is another quality pub from the good folks at Wiley. At least lately most of the Wiley books have been well written.
I ordered the book from bookpool to save a few needed pennies. I own all the "Hacking Exposed" books and found this book to offer something as well. I didn't read the first edition but this one contains a great collection of technology briefings, good guides to footprinting and enumeration, good coverage of techniques, respectable coverage of penetration (valiant effort there), thorough coverage of exploits and of course some scripting for the kiddies. Also, yes, the CD by far contains the best collection I've seen of tools and proggies, and most of the source I've tried seems to compile without problem. The book is well edited and I particularly found the "crash course in C" right on the mark. The chapter on the latest hack attacks is like having an abridged CERT, SANS, and SecurityFocus handbook, but the countermeasures could use a bit more detail. Overall the book weighs in at a solid 9ish.
Yes, you do... Unless you have a monster (expensive $200 plus) eyepiece there's no seeing the rings on Saturn or far galaxies with a small scope. I had the ETX-105 and felt mislead when I was told I could clearly see the planets. They show up so small it's hardly worth it. When I purchased my 8" scope (gathers so much more light-seems like a zillions times better) I could see so many objects I had no idea were right there in front of me. It's well worth it and most times cost similarly to 4" and 6" scopes--especially if you get a deal on an auction.
Good book and there's a monthly ongoing contest

Great book. I also found a monthly forensic challenge contest
here.
Make sure you get the right size for viewing those far away objects. Small scopes like Meade ETX series won't be helpful there. Here's one I found on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&cate gory=28181&item=2912207256

I agree!!! I've been debugging code all day. Getting paid to play games can't be all that bad.

I wasn't really hacked but I did accidentally execute a RAT when testing a system. So much for precautions-it took me 3 days to clean up...

You should see the difference with a good 8" scope. As I said before the Meade ETX was nice but the images are just too small for my taste.

Interesting, count me in... I'm getting hungry.
I agree the book doesn't impact like Gibbies others, however, it's still not a bad read.
Yep, gives me the warm and fuzzy. Give me a break!
