Strickly for the serious pen testers!!!5
The authors of this book are well known in the industry and they really lived up to the expectations. I recommend this book for the serious pen testers who want to sharpen their skills and take it to another level. You discover security holes and close them using some pretty neat techniques. There is good coverage of various platforms but remember this is strickly for the serious pen testers.
