5.0 out of 5 stars Not only for the CEH exam, July 3, 2007

By	Nikk Gilbert (Paris, France) - See all my reviews

This book is great. Why? Well it's not just because its a great study guide for the CEH exam (Certified Ethical Hacker), but also for the amount of info crammed into a small book. If you're wanting to learn the basics of ethical hacking, then this is the book. Its a quick read, packed full of interesting workable senarios.

What this book is:
1. A great book for your junior security people.
2. Very easy to work through the chapters as labs.
3. Lots of references to cool programs you can find and download.

What this book isn't:
1. Your not going to learn any code.
2. If you're already a better than average hacker this book is not for you.
3. You won't get CEH certified with this book as a stand alone.
4. You do need a basic understanding of networking, security and systems. (This book isnt hacking for dummies).

4.0 out of 5 stars CEH in a nutshell, March 22, 2007

By	Beam63 (Netherlands) - See all my reviews

If you want to go for the CEH certification this book is a pretty good companion. It touches all the objectives for 312-50. But most of the time it's done in just a few lines. So you'll need additional training or bring a lot of experience to pass the CEH exam. If you realy want to know more about ethical hacking and/or penetration testing try the Offensive Security training by the makers of Backtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shaheen Gagan, CISSP, et.al No. 102964, April 11, 2007

By	Shaheen Gagan "Shaheen Gagan" (http://shaheengagan.blogspot.com) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I find this to be a very important summary review guide, it is only 200 pages.It goes to the core of the CEH exam requisites.

There are other books that you should also use, other books, just don't depend on one book. The following is a detailed book with about 50 or so labs, you need to start using the tools of the trade, and this book will start you off from get go.
