Book excerpt: Computer viruses are no longer just written by teenage techno-graffiti artists and disgruntled programmers. They're fast becoming the province of terrorists and warring governments. A computer virus can spread through the internet and wipe out millions of computers in just hours-faster than an antivirus company can analyze it and faster than the news networks can warn people. The solution? You cannot afford to rely solely on the canned technology of an antivirus program to protect yourself against viruses any more. The only sure protection is knowledge. In this brand new book, Dr. Ludwig explores the fascinating world of email viruses in a way nobody else dares! Here you will learn about how these viruses work and what they can and cannot do from a veteran hacker and virus researcher. Why settle for the vague generalities of other books when you can have page after page of carefully explained code and a fascinating variety of live viruses to experiment with you on your own computer or check your antivirus software with? In this book you'll learn the basics of viruses that reproduce through email, and then go on to explore how antivirus programs catch them and how wiley viruses evade the antivirus programs. You'll learn about polymorphic and evolving viruses. You'll learn how virus writers use exploits - bugs in programs like Overlook Express - to get their code to execute without your consent. You'll learn about logic bombs and the social engineering side of viruses - not the social engineering of old time hackers, but the tried and true scientific method behind turning a replicating program into a virus that infects millions of computers. Yet Dr. Ludwig doesn't stop here. He faces the sobering possibilities of email viruses that lie just around the corner ... viruses that could literally change the history of the human race, for better or worse. Admittedly this would be a dangerous book in the wrong hands. Yet it would be more dangerous if it didn't get into the right hands. The next major virus attack could see millions of computers wiped clean in a matter of hours. With this book have a fighting chance to spot the trouble coming and avoid it, while the multitudes that depend on a canned program to keep them out of trouble will get taken out. In short, this is an utterly fascinating book. You'll never look at computer viruses the same way again after reading it.

Book excerpt: Guides Students in Understanding the Interactions between Computing/Networking Technologies and Security Issues Taking an interactive, "learn-by-doing" approach to teaching, Introduction to Computer and Network Security: Navigating Shades of Gray gives you a clear course to teach the technical issues related to security. Unlike most computer security books, which concentrate on software design and implementation, cryptographic tools, or networking issues, this text also explores how the interactions between hardware, software, and users affect system security. The book presents basic principles and concepts, along with examples of current threats to illustrate how the principles can either enable or neutralize exploits. Students see the importance of these concepts in existing and future technologies. In a challenging yet enjoyable way, they learn about a variety of technical topics, including current security exploits, technical factors that enable attacks, and economic and social factors that determine the security of future systems. Extensively classroom-tested, the material is structured around a set of challenging projects. Through staging exploits and choosing countermeasures to neutralize the attacks in the projects, students learn: How computer systems and networks operate How to reverse-engineer processes How to use systems in ways that were never foreseen (or supported) by the original developers Combining hands-on work with technical overviews, this text helps you integrate security analysis into your technical computing curriculum. It will educate your students on security issues, such as side-channel attacks, and deepen their understanding of how computers and networks work.

Download or read book Steal This Computer Book 4 0 written by Wallace Wang and published by No Starch Press. This book was released on 2006-05-06 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you thought hacking was just about mischief-makers hunched over computers in the basement, think again. As seasoned author Wallace Wang explains, hacking can also mean questioning the status quo, looking for your own truths and never accepting at face value anything authorities say or do. The completely revised fourth edition of this offbeat, non-technical book examines what hackers do, how they do it, and how you can protect yourself. Written in the same informative, irreverent, and entertaining style that made the first three editions hugely successful, Steal This Computer Book 4.0 will expand your mind and raise your eyebrows. New chapters discuss the hacker mentality, social engineering and lock picking, exploiting P2P file-sharing networks, and how people manipulate search engines and pop-up ads to obtain and use personal information. Wang also takes issue with the media for "hacking" the news and presenting the public with self-serving stories of questionable accuracy. Inside, you’ll discover: –How to manage and fight spam and spyware –How Trojan horse programs and rootkits work and how to defend against them –How hackers steal software and defeat copy-protection mechanisms –How to tell if your machine is being attacked and what you can do to protect it –Where the hackers are, how they probe a target and sneak into a computer, and what they do once they get inside –How corporations use hacker techniques to infect your computer and invade your privacy –How you can lock down your computer to protect your data and your personal information using free programs included on the book’s CD If you’ve ever logged onto a website, conducted an online transaction, sent or received email, used a networked computer or even watched the evening news, you may have already been tricked, tracked, hacked, and manipulated. As the saying goes, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you. And, as Wallace Wang reveals, they probably are. The companion CD contains hundreds of megabytes of 100% FREE hacking and security related programs, like keyloggers, spyware stoppers, port blockers, IP scanners, Trojan horse detectors, and much, much more. CD compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
