Title: Man Page Reprint
Review: If you don't read the man pages then this book is for you. After reading the glowing reviews I went out to purchase this book. I am extermely dissappointed. The lion-share of the book is merely API description. There are some neat examples in every chapter, but they are available on the internet... The end chapters of the book are well written concise summaries of known techniques and concepts (possibly the only redeeming component of the book)After using libnet I was expecting something great from the man who wrote such an awesome library. Experienced programmers should use the man pages. If you're new to information security topics then you might find this book useful.A newbie would be well served by this book.
