tant concepts being presented in the main text.These include the following:
(cid:2) Exam Warnings focus on specific elements on which the reader needs to
focus in order to pass the exam.
(cid:2) Test Day Tips are short tips that will help you in organizing and remembering
information for the exam.

beyond what you need to know from the exam,providing a deep foundation
for understanding the security concepts discussed in the text.
(cid:2) Damage and Defense relate real-world experiences to security exploits while
outlining defensive strategies.
(cid:2) Head of the Class discussions are based on the author’s interactions with stu-
dents in live classrooms and the topics covered here are the ones students have
the most problems with.
Each chapter also includes hands-on exercises.It is important that you work through
these exercises in order to be confident you know how to apply the concepts you have
just read about.
You will find a number of helpful elements at the end of each chapter.For example,
each chapter contains a Summary of Exam Objectives that ties the topics discussed in that
chapter to the published objectives.Each chapter also contains an Exam Objectives Fast
Track, which boils all exam objectives down to manageable summaries that are perfect
for last minute review.The Exam Objectives Frequently Asked Questions answers those ques-
tions that most often arise from readers and students regarding the topics covered in the
chapter.Finally,in the Self Test section,you will find a set of practice questions written in
a multiple-choice form similar to those you will encounter on the exam.You can use the
Self Test Quick Answer Key that follows the Self Test questions to quickly determine what
information you need to review again.The Self Test Appendix at the end of the book pro-
vides detailed explanations of both the correct and incorrect answers.
