A random, somewhat incomplete, but occasionally interesting collection
of tidbits related to sniffing traffic.
The Amazon review of this book by Richard Bejtlich of
"TaoSecurity.com" #1 goes much further and is really detailed and
damning: "A disappointment -- this author does not understand basic
networking, so newbies will be misguided, June 23, 2007"
"PPA is written for beginners, or at least it should be intended for
beginners givens its subject matter. It appears the author is also a
beginner, or worse, someone who has not learned fundamental networking
concepts. This situation results in a book that will mislead readers
who are not equipped to recognize the numerous technical and
conceptual problems in the text. This review will highlight several to
make my point. These are not all of the problems in the book. "
It's worth reading this review before purchasing this book which at
first look appears to be interesting.
