Really great content! It's definitely showing it's age at this point (copyright 2006) but you can fill in the gaps pretty well by following the information provided here. Screenshots are outdated and the applications are different but the functionality is the same.

This is definitely for the practical paranoid. I don't know about you guys but sometimes when my outlook won't send email I have this idea that I am being hacked. Reading this book is really a breath of fresh air.
