Query: USELESS

Had this book been published 5 years ago, then it would have been considered OK (just ok). Today, this is only an anachronic, elementary and overall useless book.Currently I am researching in the secure code area and got a lot of related paper and books. By no means this book could be considered as a valid contender (alternative). It only provides "yet another" useless collection of naive and dated (loosely explained) attacks.If really interested in this area, try Mr. VIEGAS' books. A bit repetitive (same issues discussed again in each book) but very helpful for understanding, classifying, preventing and detecting vulnerable codes.
