Perfect Password: Selection, Protection, Authentication Review by S. Barbour
Good Thoughts, But Not So Much
Mark Burnett's book appears to be the work of someone who has been in the security business for 10 years, been to a few lectures, seen lots of password policies, maybe even taken a class or two; but didn't understand some basic concepts. Bad guys may be baffled by the passwords someone creates by this book, but only if they're stupid. Most people aren't, and anyone who has spent any time understanding the math or the way people pick passwords won't be fooled too much by Mr. Burnett's suggestions. This book does have some merit in that it does educate the reader in basic security, but don't bother spending more than $5 for this book. You can get pretty much the same answers by googling around for an hour or so.
