Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I work in the developer and IT industry and purchased this book to get a mind set of the criminal mind when it comes to hacking. This book is great for checking your security infrastructure and ensuring its safety, by allowing you to ‘hack’ your own network, and then patch it to ensure others can not. Great book and easy read, I love all of the ‘For Dummies’ books and they are a great reference for my growing computer references.

⭐Good intro to the world of Hacking. My job is based around the world of IT security so I needed to pick up the base knowledge quickly so I could market our company and this allowed me to that.

⭐item was as described, good price and fast shipment

⭐Price was right, lots of info

⭐the book is realy good . also came on time It also sold at a good price. thanks

⭐When the book came it was very musty smelling, like from a smoker. However, it was definitely what my son wanted and he was happy.

⭐it’s a good book for have an overwiev in security and,of course, hacking but I don’t like almost half of the book spent only for generic and common stories…maybe I’ve this idea since I was looking for a book with much more code and explanation to realize hacking!! 🙂

⭐I think all the Dummies books are good specially for the people who are dummy in the field and dummy in life as well. By dummy in life I mean they cant even use their common sense for thing. For example Although it did gave some good hacking sites but then it took so many pages explaining that you can also hack by looking over the shoulder of a person who is entering his userid/pwd I would call it DUHHHH!!.

⭐Best book ever…

⭐Nice

⭐Good but pretty old-school. The explanation is very easily comprehensible.
