Product Description

Product Description
In recent years information warfare has trickled from the domain of governments and megacorporations into the lives and workplaces of the average citizen, and privacy concerns are at an all-time high. Cybershock is the first book to guide the average Internet user through online perils and offers answers and solutions in common-sense language. Winn Schwartau leads readers through the basics (What's hacking? Who hacks?), introduces actual hacking tools and techniques, and using corporate, law enforcement, and military examples, teaches how to become a successful anti-hacker. It also provides balanced viewpoints through graphic, pictorial, and written contributions from the principal stakeholders: hackers and phreakers; corporate security experts; lawyers and cyberjudicial professionals; and officers with the security-sensitive military and government agencies. The book includes an extensive listing of both hacking and anti-hacking Internet sites and a compendium of the leading anti-hacking security products and tools.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amusingly anecdotal and a good entry level book., 6 Feb 2001
This review is from: Cybershock: Surviving Hackers, Phreakers, Identity Thieves, Internet Terrorists and Weapons of Mass Disruption (Hardcover)
A US-centric approach to the phenomenon of all things hacking. While not a 'guide to hacking' there are some amusing and interesting anecdotes here. However, it has the feel of an 'airport novel' as it skims over many different areas. A good days reading but you will need to put flesh on the bones from other sources.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hackers are not criminals!, 31 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cybershock: Surviving Hackers, Phreakers, Identity Thieves, Internet Terrorists and Weapons of Mass Disruption (Hardcover)
I don't care how many people you may have heard or how many peoples books you may have read, hackers are not, I repeat NOT the people who you think they are. Crackers write viruses and destroy web sites. Hackers do not destroy, tamper with, or other wise illicit activitys. Hackers gather information. Phreakers tamper with phones.
