This book attempts to provide basic and practical measures that can guide an IT professional into more security expertise. It claims that it can teach the reader methods on how to detect vulnerabilities. It succeeds in surveying the technologies relevant to the task, but it falls short in the execution of writing.
Lewis, no doubt, is a good security professional. However, he does not explain a topic thoroughly. He is too terse and concise. He never leads readers to more interesting and salient points of deep insight. He spends too much time defining terms and not enough time portraying the action in security. There are few references and neither footnotes nor endnotes. He simply fell short on the writing.
This book’s cover is well-designed, but make no mistake – this is not a refined book. The physical book somewhat fell apart (i.e., the binding dissolved) while I was reading. Though that is a literal truth, the figurative falling apart of my aspirations for this book sorrowed me more. I see that Lewis has written other works in the field of cybersecurity. Many have received poor reviews as well. Although I plan to continue to read in this field, I plan to avoid Lewis’ works.
