I just recently accquired this item for review myself and I have found it to be a very informative piece of literature. Its has alot of aspects dealing with how certain exploits can be countered I deemed a necessary thing to understand from an administrator's position.

My only complaint is the lack of an "E"copy on the CD. With all the included tools, i was suprised to find it didnt have a copy of the book in pdf or otherwise. Just would be a nice addition so i could read while at work (and still look busy) and its nice to be able to read an ebook on a laptop that you carry anyway, instead of having to lug a 900 page book around.
A++ book tho...

Im going to buy a book (for the first time) on hacking and im thinking of getting this one, do you have to have read 1,2,3 and 4 to fully understand the fifth or can you jump right into the fifth edition without reading the previous ones?

You don't have to read the previous editions to get the most out of a newer edition, so go ahead and get the 5th, I'm sure it's great.
