SSH is a popular protocol for securing your network connections. It's reliable, robust, and reasonably easy to use, and both free and commercial implementations are widely available for most operating systems. Everything you want to know about SSH is in our second edition of SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide. This updated book thoroughly covers the latest SSH-2 protocol for system administrators and end users.

Pros: Exhaustive information on ssh, very concise

It's a bit of a tough call to review a book which has a review of the first edition already done on this site.

It's an amazing read that also covers aspects of tectia, the commercial product by the original guy behind ssh.

Not having read the first edition I can't say how detailed the implementation details have been described, but the book has certainly grown. It now features a whopping 645 pages (including the index), and I certainly haven't missed any info about ssh, or found that it lacked detail anywhere.

A great read - once again.
