Synopsis
Now more than ever, it is imperative that users be able to protect their system from hackers trashing their Web sites or stealing information. Written by a reformed hacker, this comprehensive resource identifies security holes in common computer and network systems, allowing system administrators to discover faults inherent within their network- and work toward a solution to those problems.
Reviews
Network administrators need to read this book closely because a lot of aspiring hackers will be reading it closely and will be looking around for somewhere to practice their new skills, e.g., your lan or web server. This book covers in copious detail internet warfare, programming languages, scanners, sniffers, password crackers, trojans, platform security, remote attacks, spoofing, firewalls, and the law. It is a how-to protect book and, by default, a how-to attack book.
