    Dear all,

    So over christmas and into the new year I'm putting together the 2nd
    edition of my Internet-based pentesting book, Network Security
    Assessment (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/networksa/), which will be an
    update of the original, with obsolete information removed, and some new
    chapters, including exploit frameworks and web application assessment.

    If you've read the 1st edition and have any comments or things that
    you'd like to see in the 2nd, please let me know so that I can add them
    in.. details of useful tools that aren't mentioned in the 1st edition
    would be good, along with any testing approaches or techniques that I
    didn't cover (particularly in regard to IPsec VPN, Citrix, Oracle, and
    other specific services that I cover in the book). Please no requests
    for 802.11 wireless hacking chapters, local network testing (sniffing,
    ARP spoofing, VLAN hacking), wardialling, etc. -- this book is for
    Internet-based testing only, and I hope it can become a reference manual
    for professional testers everywhere.

    Thanks in advance,

    Chris
