Computer & Internet Security: A Hands-on Approach

The text is cut from the top.

A professor in my college uses this book for his security class. I really like how the material is presented in this book. He assumes a background in CS for some of the topics, such as the examples in C, but he covers much of the material in a very easy, and not complete boring, manner. I'd definitely recommend it for someone interested in security in general as there are a wide variety of topics covered.The blockchain section, added with the second edition, is primarily information about how blockchain works. It notes that in future versions there will be additional information relating to the security of blockchain.

I've worked in IT for 20+ years in a variety of roles and in a risk and compliance capacity for the last 7 or 8. I've been required to take a more direct involvement with security and so have been up-skilling for the past year. I've read several books, numerous whitepapers and completed umpteen multimedia training courses. This book is the single most valuable resource I have discovered to date. It is very thorough and goes into technical detail in depth but is very well structured and easy to read. The author is clearly not just technically very knowledgeable but an excellent teacher as well.The book is only half the story though. The author has also made available for free online a collection of labs (SeedSecurityLabs.org) using virtual machines he has developed to enable the user to get hands on familiarity with the numerous security concepts covered in his book. You could use the labs on their own and you could read the book on it's own but really the two are best used together. Whether you are a student, someone looking to move into a cybersec role or an existing cybersec professional looking to fill gaps in your knowledge this book is an excellent resource and worth every penny.

Thank you Prof. Kevin Du for writing this book under SEED project.It is the best hands-on book for cybersecurity study.
