Thank you readers!
I take great pride today in the fact the Namp Cookbook has briefly taken the number 1 spot on Amazon.com Under the Security and Encryption category.
First of all, respect to Fyodor for creating an amazing program. I highly recommend his book Nmap Network Scanning: The Official Nmap Project Guide to Network Discovery and Security Scanning for those wanting to take their knowledge of Namp (and other advanced network/security topics) to the next level.
For those who are just getting started (or anyone who needs to master Nmap quickly) thank you for helping make the Nmap Cookbook a popular choice among the Amazon masses.
I also want to take a moment to thank CreateSpace (a service of Amazon.com) which allows regular people like you and me to self publish their books.
