Hack Attacks Revealed by Mr Chirillo is just palin bad! The Hacking exposed series is very detailed and explains what actually is going on in each attack...in otherwords how to do things from the command line. Hack Attacks Revealed on the otherhand lists all the script kiddy tools and when how to use them. Completely useless material! You learn abit about some tools you can download, but thats about it. It doesn't explain really how the tool is exploiting anything. There is also a CD included with the book that has his "tigertools" included. You can upgrade to "tigertoolspro" or something like that for a small fee. A bunch of tools that are dressed up freeware type stuff. The only good thing coming out from that series are the forensics test online. Anyway, my 2 cents...
Hacking Exposed = Great
Hack Attacks Reveealed = Money down the drain
