Summary: Fair book for the money
Comment: If your an NT 4.0 Admin then buy a copy of this book used (its cheap enough). For the money its an excellent resource. I purchased it full price and found that it was somewhat useful in instituting security polices for the Web servers I was responsible for. You should also consider getting some of the Hacker expliotation books just to understand more of the mindset of how a Hacker attacks.

Summary: From an "NT auditor"
Comment: For the last last few years, I have concentrated on NT auditing. I have read about 6 books on NT security, attended many security conferences, including SANS. I also search the net and study using MS tutorial courses. I attended 5 Microsoft NT courses. (It is hard work trying to find all those little bits of information.) I regard this book as the easiest one to start anyone off on this topic and the best for auditors. It is written for auditors (and not sysadmins). It is unfortunately out-of-date every time it is released (the last version for NT 3.51 as well), but that is not their fault, rather the fault of NT with its numerous security bugs that keep on coming (Watch out for SP7). It is still a good reference and the only audit book. Get "Hacking Exposed" as a companion to provide the updating info, and for the latest on NT security holes in working details.

Summary: Very good but a little dated, non SP6
Comment: Not a good idea to breeze through if you have not seen this before. This is a very good book, alot of tools exists today which does this but the book tells the registry locations and gives explanations. However if you attended SANS, this book might not be for you.
