Nessus Network Auditing

This book covers the new features included in version 3 of Nessus, including the file content and security check audits that are only available through a direct feed subscription. Other books make cover Nessus but do not cover these new features. I use Nessus with privacy and security audits. This book is a must if you are using Nessus in a professional capacity. I keep track of local security law changes for the United States, and other background regarding using Nessus as a consultant at computersecuritylaw.us. I also recommend this book to non-Nessus using computer security officers, with increased cyber-attacks one should really consider this or other similar product as part of your computer security program.

Very good book to start if you wanna be a SysAdmn or a technical person

Very Informative.

My review is really about buying expectations for the current 2nd edition. First, You dont get a cd or access to Nessus V3. Second, I see no way to get the e-book. No place on syngress.com to create or join any account that would let you get "Nessus Network Auditing Second Edition" for free after buying the book through Amazon. You can get Nessus Version 5 if you go to the vendor, but it is not obvious how to get a copy for using with the book.It annoys me that the books cover says "FREE E-BOOK".I would not have bought the book if I cant use it to teach myself about Nessus.my hope is that i can email syngress and see if they can explain to me how to get the ebook.i have figured out how to get nessus version 5 as a home user (tenable.com). but i will still have use tenable's support docs to figure out how to install. So it will be a while before I know if the book was worth buying... book written for version 3 vs. available version 5...this does not look good.
