Title: Would not recommend
Product review: I would not recommend this series of books. I am the web developer at a major financial institution and I picked them up to gain more insight on web security and hackers. I didn't care for the writing style, nor the sense of humor. All the crud in here that I will never use mades me shake my head. I handed them over to our security engineer for his opinion. His one-sentence analysis was "what a waste of time". Endless useless pieces of information crammed into this book just to fill up the pages and make it look impressive. This 'complete reference' doesn't even include information about XWindows, the default windowing system for Unix. None of the ideas in this book come across clearly. This series of books should be under fiction or humor rather than in the technical section.
