Book Reviews of Hacking For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers))

Book Review: Great reference
Summary: 5 Stars

I work in the developer and IT industry and purchased this book to get a mind set of the criminal mind when it comes to hacking. This book is great for checking your security infrastructure and ensuring its safety, by allowing you to 'hack' your own network, and then patch it to ensure others can not. Great book and easy read, I love all of the 'For Dummies' books and they are a great reference for my growing computer references.
