I just purchased the fourth edition last week. Seems to be a great read. I know the first addition was well written.

So I can see that this book is highly recommended so I am going to go buy it but before I do I want to ask something. In the older ones are they for like older versions of windows and linux and the new ones are more about windows ME and XP and newer versions of linux?

>Thanks!

killer boots.... well obviously older editions will cover older versions of windows in more detail - the 2nd edition won't for example cover XP

the 3rd ed.. does cover 95/98/ME - though how ME can ever be called an OS is beyond me as well as NT, 2K and a bit of XP. I would imagine that the 4th ed covers XP and 2k slightly better than 3rd ed. The 3rd ed also covers Unix in general (doesn't confine itself to one version of *nix) and Novell netware. There are quite a few other areas that the books cover e.g. network hacking and software hacking etc. I can scan the contents page (well 7 pages to be accurate) of the 3rd ed and send them to you if you like? PM me if you want them - but don't ask me to scan the book cos it's like 700pages of dense text

Hey, I read the first one and it's a great book so I guess the following editions will follow the lead. As for where you can get it for cheap, I found this page:

Definitely check it out, it gives you a comparison of different prices of the same book and even tells you about available coupons.

Just to throw in my 2 cents, I think the Hacking exposed books are good as a collection of stuff that would otherwise take you a long time to find out on the web (if you don`t know what you are looking for). Nothing earth shattering in them though, but a good reference book nonetheless.

Anyone seen Foundstones Foundscan took? Its a decent bit of software and much faster then Internet Scanner from what I`ve seen.
