I've mentioned Richard Bejtlich in passing before. He is a TCP/IP ninja and if you are in the computer security biz you should know who he is. I'm pleased to announce that he just posed a 5/5 review on Amazon.com about our book Ajax Security. Here is a little snip:

The book is absolutely compelling and every security professional and Web developer should read it. It's really as simple as that.

They start by introducing a technology, which is critical for someone like me who doesn't deal with Web development issues. Next they describe how it is broken. They continue with defensive recommendations and summarize their findings in the conclusion. This is a perfect technical writing style that is too often lost on other authors.

Truly this an awesome honor and I think Richard for the praise. However, not only does Richard like the book, Richard goings on to declare that Ajax Security is the best book of 2007!

And, the winner of the Best Book Bejtlich Read in 2007 award is...

1. Ajax Security by Billy Hoffman and Bryan Sullivan (Addison-Wesley). Ajax Security was the last book I read and reviewed in 2007. However, it was the best book I read all year.
