About 90% of this is great, the other 10% can be encapsulated in this quote from page 217

"For years, the most commonly chosen password in the world was, believe it or not, the word password.
"Fortunately, people are getting smarter. As of 2014, password was no longer the No. 1 most used password.
"The new No. 1 password? 123456. Good job, America."

America is not the world, about 10% of this book is Amerocentric and that's fine, but for a book trying to be as smart as it is that struck a bum note with me, if it had tossed in some "for Americans" and "check with your service providers" it would have been a 5 star book.
