Sub-Title: A Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks

My first approach to computer network/server security was "Why would anyone bother with a little site like mine." I found out when all of a sudden someone was using it as an open relay to send out spam. I fixed that one.

Later I found that my web server was using an awful lot of bandwidth, it was being used as a re-transmitter of first run movies. Then somehow one of the systems got infected with CoolWebSearch -- It was of course a new version so none of the erasing tools worked and I had to go back to an earlier state of the machine. Now somehow a popup thing is running on one of the machines that none of the anti-spyware, anti-popup software can catch. (I changed to the Firefox browser on that machine and the popups stopped, so at least I know it's an IE problem.)

So now my machines are sitting behind a hardware firewall, running all kinds of anti software, and I feel pretty good. Well I felt pretty good until ...

Here comes this book from No Starch Press. (I find their books to be universally excellent.) It talks about a level of penetration about which I had only heard vague rumors. This book is a narrative of the web, of computer architecture, of the way protocols like TCP/IP work. It isn't so much a cookbook of how to install this piece of software to solve your problem so much as the background information on what you're dealing with. Not for beginners, this is a thoughtful, clever analysis of how things work.

If you're a security type, you don't want to miss this one.

One or more of the hyperlinks above will take you to Amazon.com. We specialize in books that are available on line for down loading. Where the material is stored in a planar cellulose information retrieval system, i.e. a printed book, we don't have the infrastructure to handle the sale, shipment and subsequent customer service if there is a problem. Accordingly, we have made an arrangement with Amazon.com to handle the order. The above link will take you to the specific book. If you order it from Amazon, they will give you exactly the same price and customer service as if you had entered their site directly. They also give us a small commission which helps to maintain this site.
