According to legend, runaway slaves could attain a sort of freedom by breaking off a branch -- the Golden Bough -- from a sacred tree. If the runaway could kill the tree's attendant priest, he would become King of the Wood until his defeat by a new challenger. This 1890 work by Sir James George Frazer, an expert in myth and religion, was inspired by the legend. An extensive study of the cults, rites, and myths of antiquity, The Golden Bough explores ancient customs and their parallels with early Christianity.
Frazer's definitions of such terms as "magic," "religion," and "science" proved highly useful to his successors, and his explications of the legends profoundly influenced generations of prominent psychologists, writers, and poets. This abridgment of his multivolume magnum opus omits footnotes and occasionally condenses text; nevertheless, as the author himself observed, all of the original work's main principles remain intact, along with ample illustrative examples.

Great Read, and Awesome Resource.
Format: Paperback
Great Book to give insight to the blue team side. It has some of that simple common sense stuff. But it takes that and puts it into a plan! Very deep insight into the importance of being prepared and explaining why. Also has some cool more advance advice to read up on. Gives command line examples of different parameters to use and shows the result you will get.

Great Resource to Have on hands for Security Analysts
Format: Paperback
Great Resource to Have on hands for Security Analysts. I have been using many of the techniques described in this book over the past few years but this book expanded on that knowledge a bit more than I was used to. It's great because it has all of the most common things one would typically run into on their day-to-day job as a security analyst. Not completely comprehensive but that's not the purpose of this book.

Great book
Format: Paperback
Nice companion to the RTFM. I have been in INFOSEC for a while and I found most of the book to be somewhat generic. My feelings may not apply to everyone else though. There seems to be an idea out there that everyone in INFOSEC sits around grepping Snort logs and/or TCP dumps; this simply is not the case. As an incident first responder the job is fairly straight forward: isolate and collect the logs. Everyone has their own methods I guess. Some OS'es require you leave the system connected before collecting logs this book does not cover that aspect. Not everyone can afford a SANS course so in that respect this condensed field guide is a plus+. Simply put; you cannot afford to not have this book. A must buy.
