It's a good book, especially considering there aren't really many like it out there and I like the humor/writing style as well as the layout. However, it definitely assumes you know a decent amount about infosec and system administration to get through it and it will not hold your hand through every step. I know the author can't cover it all but for those of you going through it here are some helpful tips I wish were in the book that I have come across so far: - Use Windows Server 2008 R2. 2012 and 2016 will not work with some facets of the Windows build. - It is best to update the OS to get some of the services running correctly (easily). - The URL in the book for ColdFusion appears to be for an UPDATE to 9.1, not the installer for 9.1 (which I can't seem to find) so I had to go with 9.2. - For SQL 2005 Express, make sure the processors are at a power of 2. It took me 3 days to figure out why I couldn't install SQL 2005 Express and it was because I had allocated 3 processors for my VM (same will go for physical builds with 5, 7, or 9 processors; it won't work). - SQL 2005 Express will not allow you to make the password for the sa user "sa" as the book instructs. I will continue to update this list as I go through the book in hopes to help others who are struggling a bit with the configuration of these machines. Cheers and happy hacking, -Ethan
