This is the inside story of the DeLorean saga written by a senior manager who worked with the company from beginning to end and saw it all. The short life of the DeLorean DMC-12 sports car – a vision of the future with its gullwing doors and stainless steel body – began after John DeLorean secured financial backing from the British government for his car-making venture in Northern Ireland. Four years and nearly 9,000 cars later the company went bust and DeLorean faced questions about fraud against the British taxpayer, and his big ally, Colin Chapman of Lotus, also drew scrutiny. As an insider’s account, this book contains a great deal of new information about the DeLorean scandal.

Two years after closure he became a director of Lotus Cars, which designed and developed the DeLorean DMC-12. He lives in Belfast.

This book shares a wealth of tools, and supplements it with not only examples of how to use those tools, but surrounds the whole use of those tools with a methodology without directly ramming a methodology down your throat.
From the introduction of what tools are required, through to network enumeration, scanning, remote information services (dns, ldap), and right through to specifics of assessing ftp, email, vpn and othersI felt this book was a
