 Hi,
with me being novice at security, let me say a word or two:
You are of course right this book is not going to teach you security.
On the other hand this was one of the first book I read about security and
I think it gave me same good overview to what is possible and what the
problems are. So I continued searching the net and reading texts and so on
and got more and more interested security.
Let me sum up what I wanted to say: I think for the unexperienced (like
me) who is looking for an easy way to get into security, this book is not
the worst choice!
