RE: E-Books on Networking and Security

2001-01-23 Thread Ray Mosely

I've seen book sites like this in the past.
I've found that often, if not always, the
books have been taken from a publisher's
free e-book site, particularly the Macmillan
books.
I've also found that they are out of date and/or
incomplete.  And difficult to read.  For me,
these "free" ebooks give me the incentive to
buy the actual book.

Do you think the author of that site really has permission to publish all
those books? I was pretty surprised to see the complete text of O'Reilly's
classic "Building Internet Firewalls," for example, and John Wiley & Sons,
"Applied Cryptography, Second Edition: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source
Code in C."

These are good books that people should BUY so that publishers can stay in
business.

I couldn't really figure out this roocoocoo site. Their ethics page says,
"Our team strives to bring you everything on how you need to be oriented to
become a successfull hacker." Pretty strange ethics.

The page does have a lot of useful information, though. I wonder how the
author would feel about someone else publishing it and not giving him
credit (as he did with the books.)

I share you sentiments too, Priscilla.

It looks a good site with lots of content for cert hunters like us !

Their ethics of teaching people to be good hackers is good, remember a hacker 
is good, its a cracker you should watch out for. Do you think they really 
meant that though ?
