Also, I really don't understand why this book gets so many recommendations. I can't figure out who the target audience is or how it adds value to the field. I think all that I can tell is that the target audience is not me.
To be honest, it feels like some of the Schneier books that give you a lot of those "Aha!" moments, but don't actually have a lot of information. Maybe I'm missing something.
Edit: Damn, this guy has been blogspamming HN twice a day for like a year. 5 submissions to his blog in the last 2 days.
- DanBC 14y agocl.cam.ac.uk has a good reputation, so maybe that helps? EDIT: of the 21 pages of submissions for that domain it seems that he's the only person posting it to HN.
- justincormack 14y agoI recommend it as a starting point for people who don't know what security is about. It is also good for people who think security is about cryptography. Its about thought process more than information. Ages since I read it though.
