I am considering studying for the SANS GSEC exam from a study book however Amazon has a book called "The GSEC Prep Guide: Mastering SANS GIAC Security Essentials" that was published in 2003 and the other book was published in 2002.

Does anybody have any idea if this book covers what is required by the exam ? Surely the exam would of been updated by SANS.. Is a more upto study book available ? If anybody recently passed their exam from a study book, I'd love to know which books you worked from.

So there are the 2 books on Amazon that I can find and I am also curious which one is better.

SANS GIAC Certification: Security Essentials Toolkit (Gsec)
ISBN-10: 0789727749
ISBN-13: 978-0789727749

The GSEC Prep Guide: Mastering SANS GIAC Security Essentials
ISBN-10: 0764539329 # ISBN-13: 978-0764539329

Thanks

You can't beat the actual SANS books that come with the course. I know that it is not cheap but maybe you can find some on ebay.

PM me when you get a chance.
