Review of How to Cheat at Securing a Wireless Network Posted

Amazon.com just posted my three star review of How to Cheat at Securing a Wireless Network. From the review:

How to Cheat at Securing a Wireless Network (HTCASAWN) seemed to have a lot of promise. A quick initial look showed discussions of wireless VLANs, WPA, and command syntax for Cisco gear. I thought this would be a good book to read and review, since I try to avoid reading and reviewing books I won't find useful. About halfway through HTCASAWN I made a sad discovery: 7 of 12 chapters are duplicates of chapters from books published in 2001 and 2002, and an eighth chapter largely duplicates a book from 2004. What would probably have been a 4 star review immediately became a tenuous 3 star review, thanks to apparently verbatum reprinting of old material.

This book should probably be called How to Cheat at Writing a Book About Securing a Wireless Network. :(
