1) Paperback Book Hacker's Challenge 2: Test Your Network Security & Forensic Skills by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. As a security specialist and Ethical hacker I´ve been extremely disapointed by this book. It is too simple and obsolete. History around each challenge are way to detailed compare to the actual incident and technical detail. I just dont quite understand other reviewer rating this book with 5 stars.¤ 2) Paperback Book Hacker's Challenge 2: Test Your Network Security & Forensic Skills by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. Hacker´s Challenge 2 is a sort of practical exam for the Hacking Exposed series. Hacker´s Challenge was a terrific book for putting some incident response and forensic skills to use and practicing for the real thing. Hacker´s Challenge 2 continues the tradition and should be a must read for anyone who works with network security and incident response. The style of the challenges is fairly entertaining and the plots are so engaging you may not want to put the book down. Its like a best-selling mystery novel for network security techies. It may not affect the quality of the book overall, but I preferred having the authors of the individual challenges identified as they were in Hacker´s Challenge. However, you should definitely buy this book!
(...)¤ 3) Paperback Book Hacker's Challenge 2: Test Your Network Security & Forensic Skills by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. Besides being very entertaining this book offers a great deal of knowledge. If you are able to recognize all the concepts inside, it will serve as a perfect reference and starting point book.
Very, very nice book.¤ 4) Paperback Book Hacker's Challenge 2: Test Your Network Security & Forensic Skills by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. Mike Schiffman has always been a really funny guy (see what he´s written in phrack loopback for examples) so I was really dissappointed with the lack of humour in the first volume of the Hackers Challenge series. That has gotten better in the second volume. There is a lot more humor in this one. Aside from that it reads just like the first volume and is just as good in almost every way. But for the fact that in this volume the editors decided not to tell you which author wrote which chapter which I would have like to have known.¤ 5) Paperback Book Hacker's Challenge 2: Test Your Network Security & Forensic Skills by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. Amazon auto-recommended this book to me when I was buying another book. I bought it allthough I was shure that this will be anotherone of the books you buy, leaf through for 30 minutes and then burry in your bookshelf forever ...
The book arrived on friday - helloween. I decided to "leaf it quickly through" before diving into the helloween chaos in my city ... Now it is sunday ... I have skipped helloween completely and sucked up the book completely, played a bit with the new knowledge in my LAN and definitely had a lot of fun.
I´m nor a hacker nor a sysadmin, just a programmer. But the challenges are easy enough for me (As a programmer I´m not so experienced in networking ...). Not too easy to be boring, not to hard to be "work". You can compare it better to a funny short-story-book than to a laborious brain-teaser-book. I learned a lot and had much fun. It is the first IT-book I ever read completely from the beginning to the end. Have you ever been laughing loudly when reading an IT-book ? I did often during this wheekend :) And additionaly I _did_ learn a lot. It´s magic ...¤ 6) Paperback Book Hacker's Challenge 2: Test Your Network Security & Forensic Skills by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. Do you have what it takes to keep the bad guys out of your network? Find out with the latest edition of this best-selling book featuring 20+ all new hacking challenges for you to solve. Plus, you´ll get in-depth solutions for each, all written by experienced security consultants.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 5-Dec-2008, 0072226307783254040915, 400-070-150-400-900-411-8
