Port numbers for TFTP and SNMP are not listed. If you're interested, they are:
TFTP port 69,
SNMP port 161.
Pg. 142
Kindle location 2942
Under Remote Access Protocols, PPTP section. 
PPTP uses TCP port 1723, not UDP port 1723.

In the L2TP section.
L2TP uses UDP port 1701, not TCP port 1701.
Pg 145
Kindle location 2984
There are actually 65,536 TCP ports and 65,536 UDP ports (numbered 0 to 65,535).  
However, when port 0 is designated, the server will actually use a random port between 1 and 65,535.  In other words, only 65,535 ports are subject to attack.
Pg. 205
Kindle location 3948
In the Remember block, the ports for PPTP and L2TP are reversed. PPTP uses port 1701 and L2TP uses port 1723. A way to remember this is that 
  • L (in L2TP) is before P (in PPTP) in the alphabet. 
  • 1701 is before 1723 numerically.
  • L2TP uses 1701 and PPTP uses 1723.
Pg. 217
Kindle location 4138
In the SSID Broadcasting section, SSID stands for service set identifier. In short it's the name of the wireless network.  
It is correct in the remember block but listed incorrectly as security set identifier earlier on the page.

Answer to question 20.
Both C and D are correct answers. The explanation is accurate.

The most important point here is that the email server should be able detect the virus attachments (answer C). The email server would also remove the virus attachments (though this isn't one of the available answers). If an attachment is removed, it’s good to let users know that the attachment has been removed (answer D).
Pg. 422
Kindle location 7464
Step 3. should read as: The client creates a session key and then encrypts it with the public key.  Figure 9.1 on pg 421 (location 7464) is accurate.
Pg. 501
Kindle location 8807
Question 6 should read as: What's the difference between identification and authentication.  The explanation on pg 522 (location 9302) is accurate.
