What is Maximum security : a hacker's guide to protecting your Internet site and network about?

A grand compilation of tidbits on Internet security. Lists many system- and version-specific vulnerabilities, along with attacks, attack tools and countermeasures. Easy reading (if somewhat verbose) as introductory material but technically too superficial to be used as a reference. It nevertheless provides a wealth of bibliographic pointers and covers Windows as well as Unix. The Macintosh occasionally gets a token mention but is not treated in any detail. Wide rather than deep ("the children's---or maybe the journalists'---encyclopedia of Internet security"), it does contain some nuggets but on the whole there are more useful books on the subject. Because of the way the book is arranged, with emphasis on specific holes and attacks rather than general principles, it will quickly become outdated. NB: this review refers to the 1997 edition and the core of it was originally written in 1999. I have not read any of the subsequent editions.
