HACK I.T.

Security by Penetration Testing

“This book covers not just the glamorous aspects such as the intrusion act itself, but all of the pitfalls, contracts, clauses, and other gotchas that can occur.  The authors have taken their years of trial and error, as well as experience, and documented a previously unknown black art.”
