Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The result of all this familiarity with bad-guy tools is a leg up on defending against them. Hacking wastes no time in explaining how to implement the countermeasures--where they exist--that will render known attacks ineffective. Taking on the major network operating systems and network devices one at a time, the authors tell you exactly what Unix configuration files to alter, what Windows NT Registry keys to change, and what settings to make in NetWare. They spare no criticism of products they aren't impressed with, and hesitate not in pointing out inherent, uncorrectable security weaknesses where they find them. This is no mere rehashing of generally accepted security practices. It and its companion Web site are the best way for all you network administrators to know thy enemies. --David Wall --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Customer Reviews
This book tries to cover every aspect of IS and exploits and it manages to do quite a good job. Of course it is not oriented to a particular technology as it touches many different topics such as Windows, Unix, Web Application hacking as well as hacking tools.
What most people like in this book is the way every possible attack is approached and the structure it is presented through (Threat Evaluation, Attack Explanation, Mitigation/Countermeasures). This is an excellent entry point for somebody needing to gain an overall picture of possible threats, well known attack vectors and corresponding countermeasures.
The good thing about this book is that not only does it tell you how to exploit a security hole but also how to close it to avoid the intrusion in the first place. Get this book, it is well worth it
The book goes through real life examples taking you through the steps from picking up hack signatures to... Read more
