Title: "Mastery" not possible, but a strong volume nonetheless
Product review: I imagine Chris didn't choose the exact title of this book, as it is another of Sybex's "Mastering..." series. He would probably agree that no single book or combination of books will produce a security "expert." Regardless, I was surprised at the scope of material and Chris' ability to explain it well. I am trying to broaden my security horizons beyond intrusion detection, and I found this book well organized, logical, and amazingly pertinent almost two years since it was written. I found what I believe are very minor errors (e.g., details of a FIN scan), but I can't fault anyone who attempts to capture so much information in one volume. I will recommend my intrusion detection analysts add this book to their reading lists. Thanks Chris!
