Anti-Hacker Tool Kit, Fourth Edition 4th Edition

Honestly, if you are like me, you've read a lot of "hacking" books over the years, and most of them are a rehash of the same tools, techniques, and methodologies. This book is laid out well, has some new tricks and tips in it, and in my opinion, worth checking out. No one book is going to have "everything" you'll ever need to secure your network, or become an uberhacker. Once you set a realistic goal of learning something new, finding a few new tools, and getting someone else's perspective via a book, you'll be very pleasantly surprised by this book.

Provides descriptions and comprehensive instructions to assist in installation and basic configuration of many different vulnerability assessment tools.

First of all, you need some hacking and network knowledge, be it the basic, these book is good enough for referencing and practise and good explanation on the why. These book will help you to grow up on the techniques and the practise. A good place to start with, don't worry if don't understand some of it or most of it, these book will get you there.

Author try to include all the related topic in the book.The title of the book is a little mis-leading.More than half of the tools are related to hacking, not anti-hacking.'Hacking toolkits with some defense toolkits added also' should be proper title.If you are meant to learn hacking and the some defense for obtained root, it could be good introduction.If you are interested more in keep hackers out with some toolkit, you could be surprised how small portion of the book is about anti-hacking.

Perfect, very necessary CND, Red Team, etc.

It was in perfect shape.

Explains everything.

The book is informative, but the information is dated.
