Negative Positive
Title: A very poor security book on WIndows NT/2000
Review: I bought this book with particular interest on extra security ideas for Windows 2000. The title would lead you ,to the incorrect, conclusion that there is some coverage of windows 2000.The book deals with the ISO stack, and beginners TCP/IP, Cisco router access lists, firewalls, and scanners, everything but Windows 2000.Then we have the Windows chapter, which is exclusively based on NT 4.0, with the odd minor mention of Win2k. This book was published in 2001, and the author comments that the latest version of IIS is version 4.0.The title of this book is incorrect, and if I could get my money back, through mis-representation, I would.The chapters on access lists and TCP/IP are fine for beginners, but then why not call the book, Network security for beginners.Unless you are very new to network security, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for security information on Windows 2000.
Is the review positive or negative?
