• Eye Opener With Practical Knowledge To Gain!
02 August, 2005
This book was written during what I call the "Age of Hacker Manuals". I'm happy to report that this isn't another copy and pasted book on exploits and vulnerabilities. This book goes deeper into analyzing attacks by creating Honeynets, purposely undefended networks for the sole purpose of intelligence gathering on the Blackhat community. This is a book for a true hacker, unlike many books that I have read.

• Inspirational Technical Book For Infosec Professionals
28 April, 2007
The Honeynet Project is a fascinating project researching hacker techniques by inviting hackers to do their stuff on specially-configured network machines placed on the Internet or internal networks with the specific intention of being hacked. This well-written and inspirational technical book goes into detail on how honeypot systems are configured in honeynets, and how hacker activities are captured and analyzed.
Honeynets and honeypots are specialized tools for analyzing hacker threats. The book focuses entirely on honeynets and honeypots - no more, no less.
If the technical end of network security is not your cup of tea, this book is probably not for you. However, if you are technically-minded information security who understands (at least in principle) how a TCP datagram is constructed, or a network professional with an interest in what hackers might be getting up to on your beautiful network, you will probably enjoy Know Your Enemy. Most of the examples and tools mentioned are UNIX-based but Windows networking gurus shouldn't feel too out of sorts.
Some 21 well-respected members of the Honeynet Project team (the Honeynet Research Alliance), all authorities in their own right on various aspects of network security, contributed chapters on their primary areas of expertise. It is rare to find such an erudite team of authors, and good to read about how they personally developed the technologies described in the book.
Books written by panels of authors usually suffer from a lack of continuity and distinct differences in style, but this one has been superbly edited and reads very well indeed. There are lots of words with just a few few network diagrams, screenshots and program listings, but they are all useful (unlike some texts that seemingly stuff in pictures purely to increase the page count!).
If you have the skills, time, equipment and inclination to consider setting up your own honeynet, you will find Know Your Enemy extremely helpful, especially at the price. Short-cut the learning curve by reading how the pioneers learnt from their early mistakes.

• One Of The Worst Books I Ever Read
29 June, 2006
I have not much to say about this book -- all I have to say is that it's really crappy and pretty out-dated. The worst part I saw about it was IRC logs; over than 10 pages full of conversation logs among script kiddies!
I should have given it 2 stars because it might be good for sysadmins.

• Good Big Picture Review
15 June, 2008
Nutshell review - This is a good, big-picture, overview book. Useful for both infosec professionals as well as managers who need to understand the "enemy" in today's networked world.
