Exposed Windows 2000 (Hacking Exposed) by Joel Scambray, Stuart
McClure ~ With a revised Microsoft operating system comes a revised set of
security holes and means of attacking them. Hacking
Exposed: Windows 2000 presents a snapshot of known Windows 2000 security
weaknesses and the tools that have been developed to exploit them, in turn
enabling system operators to mount better defenses. This book builds on and
contributes to the small but respected Hacking Exposed series, giving network
administrators a detailed picture of the threats their Windows 2000 machines
face--and all the motivation they should need to install the latest patches
right away. |

One on One: Oracle by Thomas Kyte ~ Tom Kyte is of a rare
breed. To begin with, he's technically expert in his subject (administration of
and development of applications for Oracle database management systems). What's
more (and what distinguishes him from the ranks of the super-competent), he is
both able and willing to share his considerable store of wisdom with Oracle
users via books like Expert
One on One: Oracle. Perhaps the best book about Oracle products ever put
out, this book is a model of all aspects of technical publishing: scope, level
of detail, clarity of explanations, and quality of examples. |

Windows 2000 Server (Third Edition) by Mark Minasi, et
al ~ Mark Minasi rocks the Casbah as far as Microsoft's enterprise
operating systems are concerned--his books have been bestsellers for a long
time, and deservedly so. Minasi's latest offering, Mastering
Windows 2000 Server, upholds his tradition of technical accuracy and
thoroughness, presented in a shell of pedagogical soundness. This heavy,
hardback volume goes far beyond the usual feature-by-feature documentation. In
addition to the how-to material, the book includes details (roughly, oh, a
zillion of them) that clearly derive from experimentation and an exhaustive
study of Microsoft's support databases. |
