Network Security: A Hacker's Perspective (ISBN 1592000452)

Ooops..Ankit Fadia did it again!:
I am going to throw my two cents in! I agree with Ashely M (From Australia) that the initial three reviews are written by Ankit Fadia. They all have written only one review so far in Amazon.com and gave 5 stars. I have read Fadia's book before, and being an IT analyst, I can tell you that whatever he writes is crap and does not have any practical knowledge. It's very easy to write a book like that, because all you have to do is spend couple of months on Google, copy information from website, and paste it on your Word processor, edit it, and give it to publisher. However, the only hard work Fadia's does is choosing a good title for a book. This book is as bad as his earlier book. Don't buy and waste your $50 on this crap, instead donate it to Greenpeace or CRY. As said by one of the reviewers, I have to give one star as that is the least.

HIGHLY INCOMPETENT:
My friend showed me this book in the Teksons bookstore, it was so bad i wouldnt have bought it for free. In fact,now i think i should buy it ..as it will help me to sleep better :-) Now i know why it is important for authors to be older ..i mean i respect age now ! The one star i am giving it is because there is no option of 0 stars in it !

...erhmm:
HAHAHA! The only reason I am posting about this book is that I was looking around for some CCIE book prices and somehow *uhg* stumbled across this...thing (Ankit Fadia) I swear the last three guys are him, just trying to give himself a good name. I say that only because they all have only reviewed his book. (I know I have, but I'll start reviewing more now.) I have only read what Amazon.com has allowed me to read of his books via the "Inside This Book" feature. THIS BOOK AND HIS LAST BOOK ARE COMPLEATE LLAMA MATERIAL! I'd recommend this book to maybe a year 8 who has very little pervious knowledge of hacking and computer security and just wants to have a read around. FFS~ I'm serious. Even check out his over book "The Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking" LOLZ!1...He wasted a good 700+ pages of paper. Maybe when he grows up he will understand the mistake he has made. Okay I had some really good point to make but have forgot now. Anywho DONT BUY THIS!!! heh~ Kudo's to him because he did try, and he is young. Rair enough maybe a year 8 would like this title, but no. Quoted - "Tell a system administrator about vulnerability in his system and he will surely start respecting you. And besides thanking you, he might even give you permission to break into his system. Wow! Isn't that what all hackers dream of?"... Mate god help you if you do that. You WILL end up in all sorts of troubles. Eg, JAIL YOU FAG. Respectively, Ashley M.

If I could I'd rank 0 stars:
Well, I never read the book but what all reviews are true. Ankit Fadia is nothing but a charlatan. He claims to be a hacker but can't write or read code, never found a bug and maybe had never exploited a system in his whole life. I was reading a commentary by a guy in India who saw a presentation by Mr. Ankit and he said Fadia didn't show up anything new or valuable on it -- he showed how easy is to break into a computer using NetBus (haha!) and lots of outdated crap. Looking at the latest review I saw the phrase "The only difficulty in reading this book is that the C code cannot be easily understood by newbies." Yeah man, and it's even more difficult to Fadia because he can't code a single line of code.
