1.0 out of 5 stars Beware!!!, June 20, 2001

This review is from: 150 Things You Should Know About Security (Paperback)

This is not a book - at best it is the notes for an article repscrambled, repeated and recycled to fill the space between the covers. The best I can say is that although I felt stupid for having bought it in the first place, I get some satisfaction from knowing that the two men who put their names on the cover have distinguished themselves as complete dolts!
