Access to a computer system or the internet requires the transfer of data to gain "entry" and is subject to a host of security breaches. The safest way to access any system is to have a secure login name and password. But when your connection is suspect using that login information can be like opening the door to anyone.

The technologies of computer security are based on logic. As security is not necessarily the primary goal of most computer applications, designing a program with security in mind often imposes restrictions on that program's behavior.






The book was received in good condition, during the period of time requested, and as promised, it is a US edition.

I’m not an English guru nor a native language speaker; but I feel bad when seeing typo or grammer errors in a professional book. I have no idea how did some of poorly phrased senteses made it through the 3rd edition!! It’s just a bad feeling when reading such book versus a simple fluent web page on the same material. Also the outlining of the book is a little tricky. Most chapters are over 60 pages and they need better outlining. Other than that, the authors know what they are talking about and made a good effort to sort plenty of introductory materail in a text.

Except for the cryptography section, this book was of no use to me. At school, this is the required class text but our professor told us to forget about it and go buy Hacking Exposed. I suggest you do the same if you want a more Hands-On practical approach.
