Good encyclopedic reference on Backtrack

I found the book to be quite useful. It's easily understood and can be easily digested by a beginner.
If you are looking for a tutorial on pen-testing, this is not it. This is an encyclopedia on various pen-testing tools which are found on a Backtrack CD. You can use it as a reference, but I wouldn't recommend it as a textbook on hacking. One regret is that it describes an older version of Backtrack (before 4) so some of the newer tools are not covered. But nonetheless, I've often referred to this book to get useful insights into some of Backtrack utils.
