 Perspicacious December 9, 2009
MGMcd (Columbia, MD USA)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
It is clear that English is not the first language of the author, so some of the writing is in the idiom and grammar of his first language. It could have profited from an English editor, but the level of writing does not take any of the value from the book. I think we are all used to working with talented people who express themselves more fluently in another language, but that doesn't prevent us from appreciating the value of their work.
Here the work is an excellent and perspicacious primer at the script kiddie level for those new to hacking, but with a solid background in application and system architecture. It is an eye opener for those not otherwise engaged in security, and an entree to those interested in moving into penetration and security testing.
There are a good deal of references to outside utilities to start to build one's toolkit for all sorts of nefarious activities. There is little if any tutorial on how to use any of the tools, or how to glean the significance of the data being presented by the tool, but if the reader has the proper background, there will be a lot of forehead smacking when you see what these tools can reveal and exploit when used properly.
Great book for all those interested in security December 15, 2009
Mr. G. D. Sims (Europe)
Dr. Jahangiri's book is and excellent resource for all those with an interest in computer security. It doesn't matter if you are a security novice or a professional IT expert with security training this book will have something for you.
I consider myself an IT expert, but I never really got into the whole security thing other than making sure my firewall was working. This book opened my eyes. There are so many ways that hackers can try and attack your PC or server.
The book starts with some basic terminology and then moves into the different areas like password cracking, windows hacking and wireless hacking etc. In each chapter you will learn about the tools and techniques that hackers will try to use to get access to your system.
In short, if you want to know how hackers will try and get into your system read this book!
The title speaks by itself April 1, 2010
Evelio Tarazona (Colombia)
There are a handful of books that should be "must-reads" for anyone responsible for computer or network security and this is one of them. Learning the information in this book will help you learn current attacks and hacking techniques and develop effective countermeasures to protect your network. Hands down, Live Hacking should be on every network or security administrator's desk for quick reference.
When I first heard about Dr. Ali Jahangiri's book, the title immediately caught my attention. Things change quickly in the security world and the author of the book, have done a tremendous job at making a great thing by taking the new attacks techniques and countermeasures.
Even if you already have experience in the security field, the new and updated information in this book are worth the investment.
Good Book April 3, 2010
Ronald Berkes (Ohio, USA)
Live Hacking is enough for anyone first stepping into the field, and with its tricks, tips and real-world experiences even the veteran penetration tester will find enlightening.
Good Book.
