Here is an interesting book i came across today, Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing. Although it seems to be a beginners guide, it seems to be very interesting.

JD Maybe you can get an advance copy? seems to be published by PACKT, the publishers of the backtrack 4 book you reviewed.

    Hmmm...I'm a little surprised they haven't asked me to review it already.

    I gave their BT4 book lots of love. Maybe it didn't generate the traffic for them they had hoped, but it was a free review. Then again, maybe my contact no longer works for them. I'd better check...

    Yeah you did give them a lot of love, i was only joking icon_lol.gif

    I am sure the contact is somewhere around, they probably were looking for more of a front page with the cover of the book type of recognition. Like instead of a small line of text at the bottom where you normally put the review, they were probably hoping for a bigger thing. Perhaps like a small image of the book towards the top/middle of the main page with the first few sentences of the first paragraph of your review, something to pull in readers i guess.

    I dunno how that will work out with the site, it was only a thought :D

    I also forgot that No Starch Press promised me a review copy of their new Metasploit book back in June. I sent that query email off too.
