I don't think we should confuse the title of a couple of books as leading to
a like with the darkside... The books are well written documented exploits
and tactics that every InfoSec engineer should have copies of. They provide
you a base of understanding on a lot of different exploits but also are good
for explaining to others various way's to exploit and protect their systems.
Wonderful for helping the local SysAdmins in becoming more secure and better
at their jobs also.
