Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - not recommended
I ordered this one too fast, few days later first reviews were available and like them I can't recommend this book. too fragmented information without structure, looses the focus of other books covering same topics, its more a bunch of stories and scenarios around apple macs in history
Rating:  - Disorganized and lacking depth
OS X Exploits and Defense suffers from a number of problems. The organization is totally random. Each author's chapters are unrelated to the others, and there's no real progression. The description of the book seems to be more advanced, targeted at people who write exploits and do system level hardening, but the actual content is mostly beginner-oriented. The writing is poor and in need of some good editing and proofreading.
Here's a description of the first 5 chapters.
