The basics of protecting against computer hacking

The basics of protecting
against computer hacking

Description:

Hackers are a scary bunch—whether working as part of a criminal syndicate or an idealist with a political agenda, they’ve got the knowledge and the power to access your most precious data. If hackers want to target a particular company, for example, they can find vast amounts of information on that company just by searching the web. They can then use that info to exploit weaknesses in the company’s security, which in turn puts the data you’ve entrusted to that company in jeopardy.

Think of your home computer as a company. What can you do to protect it against hackers? Instead of sitting back and waiting to get infected, why not arm yourself and fight back?

Bad guys, beware. We’ve got 10 ways to beat you.

Hacking attacks and Examples Test

Hacking attacks and Examples Test

Description:

Learn how to conduct thorough security examinations via illustrations and virtual simulations

A network security breach (a hack, crack, or other invasions) occurs when unauthorised access to the network is achieved and havoc results. The best possible defence is an offensive strategy that allows you to regularly test your network to reveal the vulnerabilities and close the holes before someone gets in. Written by veteran author and security expert John Chirillo, Hack Attacks Testing explains how to perform your own security audits.

Step by step, the book covers how-to drill downs for installing and configuring your Tiger Box operating systems, installations, and configurations for some of the most popular auditing software suites. In addition, it includes both common and custom usages, scanning methods, and reporting routines of each. Finally, Chirillo inspects the individual vulnerability scanner results and compares them in an evaluation matrix against a select group of intentional security holes on a target network. Chirillo tackles such topics as:

• Building a multisystem Tiger Box
• Basic Windows 2000 Server installation and configuration for auditing
• Basic Linux and Solaris installation and configuration
• Basic Mac OS X installation and configuration for auditing
• ISS, CyberCop, Nessus, SAINT, and STAT scanners
• Using security analysis tools for Mac OS X
• Vulnerability assessment

Bonus CD!
The CD contains virtual simulations of scanners, ISS Internet Scanner evaluation version, and more.

501 Website Hacking Secrets

501 Website Hacking Secrets

Description:

What kind of secrets are included in 501 Web Site Secrets? Well, there’s parts of
a site you didn’t know existed. Or ways to use the site that you weren’t aware
of. Or special commands that help you get even more out of the site than you
could before. Cool stuff like that—and more.
That’s the nature of a secret—something that most users don’t know about but
would get a kick out of if they did. These are the kinds of things that will make
you say to yourself, “That’s cool—I didn’t know you could do that!” And then
you’ll want to go directly to the site to try the secret out for yourself. (Go ahead;
it’s allowed.)
Of course, not all 501 secrets in this book will be new to you. If you’re Internet savvy
at all, you’ll probably know some of what I reveal in these pages. That’s
okay; it only means that you’re on your toes. I’m sure, however, that you’ll find
more than a few secrets you didn’t know, and that they’ll make this book a
worthwhile read for you.
To be fair, many of these secrets are hidden in plain sight. There are few secrets
in this book that are deliberately concealed from the general public. Most so-called
secrets are things that are there if you look for them—and if you know
where to look. You can discover lots of secrets on your own just by clicking all
the links on all the pages of your favourite sites and poring over every single
page of the site’s help system. The sad fact is, most users never get beyond a
site’s home page—and there aren’t too many secrets there!

Description:

The revised edition of Hacker School, now a trilogy with the addition of two new stories.


In a dystopian world, who will decide the future of mankind?

1. After the Great Chaos, Jake's tribe decides it's time to expand from their hidden valley and once more deal with other societies.
2. David's tribe is trying to gather technology and reconstruct some of the technical marvels that once existed. They are violently opposed by anti-scavengers that wait for promised help from now vanished bureaucracies.
3. Charlene is mostly healed from her many battles. She's surprised by what may be a way to survive. Does this hacker really offer a small chance of escape? Maybe human rights hacktivism is in her future. Probably not. Is it foolish to trust someone just because he remembers how to laugh?
