Negative Positive
Title: Very poor security book
Review: I am Solaris 9 certified and a Checkpoint-certified "Security Expert." I am also a GIAC-certified Intrusion Analyst. In my professional opinion, this is simultaneously one of the worst security books AND one of the worst Solaris books I have ever seen.The author's "credentials," as mentioned in his bio, are almost entirely Microsoft-centric, with no mention whatever of Solaris in any way. And believe me, it shows.I didn't (couldn't) finish the book, but I read or skimmed perhaps half of it and found dozens of errors -- often one or more on each page. Often, the discussions are muddy at best -- e.g., the "explanation" of PAM concepts.This book is a disaster. Stay away from it. Get Limoncelli and Hogan instead, followed by reading the Solaris man pages for security-related utilities.
