Updates and Reviews
blog December 24th, 2006
We’ve added some new content to the Vault: Chapter 17 - Web Applications, Chapter 9 - UNIX 1: Privileges and Files, and Chapter 1 - Software Vulnerability Fundamentals. We’ve also updated the Suggestions page based on some initial reader feedback, and there are a few new Errata entries. We’ve also got some original content we’re working on for a few new blog posts that should show up in the next two weeks.
Initial reviews have started coming in, and so far they’re pretty positive. Stephen Northcutt posted a review in the SANS Technology Institute Leadership Laboratory, which made our moms proud. Emmett Dulaney, of UnixReview.com, also posted a positive review. Dave Aitel liked our book, and Halvar lent his support. Chris Rohlf gave us a positive review on his EM_386 blog, and the OpenBSD guys added us to their Books page. There are also several reviews on the Amazon page for the book, including write-ups from J. Ferguson, W. Boudville, Robert C. Seacord (author of the excellent Secure Coding in C and C++), Dave Maynor, and Marisa Mack. Marisa’s is hilarious, with choice quotes such as:
[…] You might notice that many of the reviews posted here are exceedingly informative and written by very well-respected security industry leaders. This is not one of those reviews. But I’ve found this book extremely valuable, and I’m an order of magnitude hotter than those other guys. […]
