Product Description

Product Description

The Mezonic Agenda deals with some of the most pressing topics in technology and computer security today including: reverse engineering, cryptography, buffer overflows, and steganography. The book tells the tale of criminal hackers attempting to compromise the results of a presidential election for their own gain. The accompanying CD contains real, working versions of all the applications described in the fictional narrative of the book. Computer users, programmers, IT professionals, and policy makers need to be made aware of the risks involved with deploying new technologies and see how attackers can leverage these technologies for their own purposes. While the story in The Mezonic Agenda is fictional, the technologies, exploits, and hacking techniques are all very real.

* The first cyber-thriller" that allows the reader to "hack along" using the accompanying CD which contains working versions of all the applications described in the book.

* To be published in October 2004 when interest in the American Presidential election will be at its highest.

* Provides IT professionals with the most advanced, timely, and accurate information available on security exploits in a fascinating, fictional narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fun read, 22 Aug 2008
By Guy Edwards (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a fun little book.

If you're in IT and have a mountain of technical books to read through, this book makes a refreshing break. The story keeps you interested and it stays firmly in the realms of what is technically possible. The book as a whole keeps you interested as a light read, it's a good size - the right size - not too big that the story drags on and on.

As above it says realistic in the hacking that goes on. There's no little password breaking boxes that break the password one character at a time, nor other rubbish you see in films. The author describes all the technology, history and capabilities behind the story in the second section/appendix of the book. A good book to read if films depicting hacking make you twitch each time they do something impossible.
