One of the best Unix/Linux security books I own

I own a lot of security books and I try to keep up with what his happening. After reading a few reviews I had been wanting to buy this book until I attended a conference where the author was singing books. So I got my signed copy and I have to say I am pretty impressed with the material. As other people have mentioned here, the author's attitude is to get right to the point and to provide useful examples wherever possible. Part 1 seems to be the where most of the material for this book exists, specially chapter 4 "Remote Hacking". I was pleasantly surprised to read the end of chapter 4 where the author describes how to use my favourite Unix tool Zebedee to do remote port forwarding! I had used this tool to do many things but I wasnt aware how it could be used to perform port forwarding tricks. Hacking tips are arranged in the order of ports and so it is easy to look up vulnerabilities. The entire book is very well arranged . If there is ever a 2nd edition to this book, I will buy it.
