Summary: One of the best Unix/Linux security books I own
Comment: I own a lot of security books and I try to keep up with what his happening. After reading a few reviews I had been wanting to buy this book until I attended a conference where the author was singing books. So I got my signed copy and I have to say I am pretty impressed with the material. As other people have mentioned here, the author's attitude is to get right to the point and to provide useful examples wherever possible. Part 1 seems to be the where most of the material for this book exists, specially chapter 4 "Remote Hacking". I was pleasantly surprised to read the end of chapter 4 where the author describes how to use my favourite Unix tool Zebedee to do remote port forwarding! I had used this tool to do many things but I wasnt aware how it could be used to perform port forwarding tricks. Hacking tips are arranged in the order of ports and so it is easy to look up vulnerabilities. The entire book is very well arranged . If there is ever a 2nd edition to this book, I will buy it.

Summary: Well done
Comment: Got this book after I read a recent review. I found this book to contain some pretty cool attack & penetration techniques. Chapters like the one on NASL and the Zaurus PDA hacking are a nice addition.
Since this is a hacking book, I disagree with the one review on here that complained about it not being complete. As far as the a&p techniques go, this book packs in more info than most 400+ hacking books I own. Saves a lot of desk real estate and also time. I really dont want to read 5 pages telling me what a portscan is, just tell me how to do it. I prefer it over the Hacking Exposed Linux book when I need quick and precise answers. This book helps me with just this. Right to the point, and some very cool techniques!
5 thumbs up.

Summary: Too short, too many ommisions
Comment: While I understand the publisher's goal is to have some shorter, more consise hacking/cracking/security books, at least this book in the series has problems fulfilling that promise. I'd strongly recomend sticking with their Hacking Linux Exposed, Second Edition title, which is much more complete. HN:LUSPR is not portable (it's still 200 some pages) contrary to the title, so what's the point in something that doesn't take time to delve into security in enough depth? Reading just this book will leave huge holes in your security posture.
