How is the information between this book and the information in the offensive-security site?

Honestly, I haven't even read it, with regards to doing any comparison, to this point. But I've liked what I've read so far, and am looking forward to some of the stuff in the later chapters (some of the expanded info on SET and FastTrack, Karmetasploit, etc.) It's particularly refreshing to see continued effort at documenting the framework and working with it, rather than all the emphasis, elsewhere, on paid tools and commercial versions.
I haven't looked closely at Metasploit Unleashed in some time, personally. The book does start emphasizing PTES more, and following the PTES methodology (which is starting to be more common, from what I see and hear,) than I recall having seen anything of in online. They go more deeply into building your own exploits and modules, and putting them into the framework, too, than what I recall from Unleashed. The overall material just really looks good, and grabbed my attention.
Maybe once I finish this book, I'll see about doing a comparison, from my viewpoint, between the book and Metasploit Unleashed, although, personally, I'm still happy to have both. The nice thing about books, for me, is that once you get the hard copy, or print it out, you have something you don't have to sit in front of a monitor to look at, for a change.

Use coupon code REDTEAM for the discount. I did not see it mentioned in this thread (but I may have missed it) so figured I'd let people know about it.

I've read both the Unleashed and have skimmed the PDF for this new book. I would say that if you're not very experienced with metasploit, the book is great. It seems well written, clear and covers a lot of topics. There IS a lot of overlap with the Metasploit unleased online reference but you get much more rich content in the book. Explanations etc...
However, if you've spend any decent amount of time in the framework, there isn't too much new information. I do like the karmetasploit stuff, aux module stuff and most of all, the porting exploits to the framework section.
I do think its valuable for anyone as a solid reference because its organized into one location!

You should be able to sign into your no-starch account, and under orders, see the book, and the link to the pdf was there, too. It was available immediately, as soon as I finished ordering.

I had to log out and then log back in for my download to register as available, but it was there minutes after I'd actually made my purchase. Any update, nicklaus?
