Rating:  This book covers most of the stuff you will need to have a good idea about server,PC and network security.Especially good topics related to network scanning with nmap ,metasploit and wireless security. I think it would great if they added more topics on how to set up a firewall.But overall I used it for systems work that I do and also for some of my security classes.It will have everything from beginning from basic security to network monitoring and other complex issues. In terms of readability it was good because I am new to security and I didn't have any problems reading and understanding it.I definitely recommend for any CS majors or sys admins.

"Here in a single volume is a veritable think-tank of state-of-the-art security techniques addressing the needs of the most popular computer platforms: Linux, Mac, Unix, and Windows. It is a real eye-opener to the vulnerabilities of computer networks and is therefore a must-have book for network administrators."
