Good Book - but not quite what I 've expected

This is a strange book to review. I'd give a 50% recommendation mostly because some chapters (perhaps half the book) could have been stripped with no real loss.

There are some good ones, in the beginning and at the very end, but the ones in the middle simply reprint names and usage of trojan/worm/virus kit software found on the net. Besides not being a complete list is useless since needs to be updated in a daily bases.

The good chapters explain you a lot of the protocols and how they interact, common techniques used by intruders.

If you do not have any other security/tcp-ip related book you should buy this since it's a good start. If you already have others you can safely skip this one.
