A pretty decent book...


I passed the test with 51 right out of 60. This book definitely helped clear up some concepts I had been hazy on in the past, like the relationships between segments and extents. I might even keep it around as a reference just because it's got enough condensed info on a wide range of topics that it might prove useful at some point when I need to create a profile or a partitioned index.
If you have the extra dough, spring for the practice tests at selftestsoftware.com. Some of those questions showed up almost word for word on the exam.

You need this book if you run Ethereal!


GREAT book! It's well written and very detailed. It's obvious that the authors have real experience running Ethereal on enterprise networks. I learned so much from chatper 8 which is about analyzing packet captures. There's some very cool stuff in that chatper from the Honeynet Project. Highly recommended.

This is the place to start...


These two great minds have presented their work in a neat at thorough fashion.
Every chapter builds on the last with emphasis towards critical elements in computer hardware.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and the class I took at UCSB!
