This is the "golden age of hacking" according to Cole, a former CIA employee now
with the SANS (System Administration, Networking, and Security) Institute. He
discusses trends, spoofing vs. highjacking, UNIX and Microsoft NT
vulnerabilities, and protection against computer attacks. References include
Internet URLs with information on hacking, network security, and other aspects
of security. A companion website offers updates.
Hackers Beware starts with a roadmap of the various areas of hacking but quickly
delves into the details of how specific attacks work and how to protect against
them. Since most attacks we hear about either occur or are perceived to come
from hackers, people are very interested "in how they do that" - the techniques
hackers use to break into systems. Hackers Beware is unique in that it gives
specific exploits, exactly how they work and how to protect against them. This
book will help readers understand what security threats they are up against and
what they need to do to protect against them. Some books cover this from a high
level but do not get into the details of specific exploits and cover it in a
case by case fashion. This book will cover the complete picture. It will not
only describe how an exploit works but present the signature of the attack, what
to look for on a network and how to protect against it.
