Review:This is indeed an excellent book. I would surely recommend this book to anybody needing insights into different hacking methods. I am a graduate student in computer science and I don't think there are too many books on this subject out there that are better than this one. Read more

Review:There are a lot of books available on the subject of cryptography. For the non- technical, non-practitioner
I think this one may be the best (though, I certainly have not read them all). Its very readable and accessible.
Not boring. Read more
