I bought Krutz's first book on CISSP prep and found it to be very readable and made difficult concepts more easily understood, at least enough for me to pass my CISSP certification. So far I'm 40% into this text and the same formula is holding true. A good aid for prepping for the CEH.

As an IT professional, I need to constantly learn new skills, and obtain certifications signifying knowlege of those skills. In todays economy, it's less and less often that I can convince the companies I work for to fund my training, so I've become a master of learning the skills on my own and passing the required tests.
This book is part of my training plan, I also read other books on the subject, and set up a virtual environment to get hands on practice with the many tools the CEH requires knowlege of.
This book seems to be the most organized of the bunch I read, and addresses the test objectives. I'll add to this review after I test.
Just tested this week...scored a 87% and happy with the results. Some areas missing included bluetooth and VOIP.

I would recommend the EC Council published material, but if you are a self learner, then the book will definitely give you some idea about the computer security environment. The material covered in some chapters are very old, so make sure to read some supplementary materials along with them. Same thing applies to the referred tools, most of them are history now. But, it definitely helped me to pass the EC-COUNCIL 312-50.

i have never read a book so easy!!! it makes me wanna read more and more,all chapters are exciting, i really wanna thank the writer for making it more explicit for even network dummies, with that said, everyone is capable of understanding this book and executing what its thought, not necessarily for exam purposes.

First of all I received my order in plenty of time before I headed to the class itself. I pressed the vendor a bit for early delivery and they delivered .. greatly appreciated.

The material in the book was well written and easy to follow and understand. I found the example test question at the end of each chapter to not be a great representation of the actual exam. The material did present the concepts and theories of ethical hacking in a clear an concise way my guess is the CEH quiz masters have redesigned the test a bit.

I will keep this book as a reference for future activities in my consulting business.

This book provides a good background in studying for the CEH Exam. The content is pretty out-dated with most of the CEH books on the market but having it definitely helped me to pass the exam.

This book was helpful for both the class and taking the test. The CEH official material is like 5 books this size, which is OVERKILL! This book covers everything well and is timely. It covers the tools a lot better than the classroom material, in a lot less time. It also provides a good look at things from both sides and goes over concepts fairly well. Could have more examples and/or hands on type of stuff, but it is a prep book. I would really suggest getting the NMAP Network Scanning book by Fyodor and start from there if you really want to be a white hat....

I wouldn't say that it is the best book, but it is a good one to know about the exam.

Although they admit to not being attourneys this book covers what I suppose is required:Knowing the Law where the internet is in question.It tells of precedure,methods and device of testing for vulnerability.Its a nutshell of getting into the IT security trade.
