Shameless Self Promotion
Upon opening the package, I discovered copies of the book that I helped to write/revise: Wireshark & Ethereal Network Protocol Analyzer Toolkit! I knew it had gone to the printer, but WOW that was fast.
My assignment was Chapter 4 - Using Wireshark. If I must say so myself, I think my chapter, and the whole book came out excellent. If you want an awesome book on Wireshark/Ethereal, this book is for you. I must say that I'm honored to work with all of the people involved, as there are certainly some very brilliant minds contributing. I must say that I'm incredibly impressed with the chapter on wireless written by Joshua Wright.
So, if you are in the market for some good, technical holiday reading go buy yourself one from the Syngress website, and help support some nerd who got published for the first time!
