This book was written by a collection of powerhouse security experts. The subject matter is somewhat diverse and, at times, a little chaotic in its presentation. It adds value to a book when multiple authors collaborate, but the segues between chapters and overlap of subject matter needs to be better-coordinated.
The authors provide a fairly comprehensive overview of the legal and ethical implications of hacking and how to properly disclose exploit code to vendors without damaging any systems or publicly unleashing security holes which could be used maliciously.
The authors provide a great deal of information on diverse subject areas related to hacking from the legal issues to programming and coding and vulnerability testing as well as provding a look at Linux and Windows exploits and reverse engineering.
