RE: new oracle security book

I'm getting mine today from SoftPro Books in Denver.  I will probably
get through it by the weekend.

The Litchfield book would probably be more enlightening.

I really doubt that the Oracle Press would publish it,
as they have published the Knox book.

Warning, this is pure speculation at this point:
The Knox book is probably a 'how to lock it down' book. 

The Litchfield book will not only tell how to lock it down, but
why you are locking it down, with exploits to test the procedures.

I am still waiting for my copy.  Has anyone else seen the book?

If you had to buy one, would it be Knox or Litchfield?
