Syngress - Stealing the Network - Download ebook

Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box is a unique book in the fiction department. It combines stories that are fictional with technology that is real.While none of these specific events have happened, there is no reason why they could not.You could argue it provides a roadmap for criminal hackers, but I say it does something else: It provides a glimpse into the creative minds of some of today’s best hackers, and even the best hackers will tell you that the game is a mental one.The phrase “Root is a state of mind,” coined by K0resh and printed on shirts from DEF CON, sums this up nicely.While you may have the skills, if you lack the mental fortitude, you will never reach the top.This is what separates the truly elite hackers from the wannabe hackers.

Springer - Computer Viruses from Theory to Applications - Download ebook

The idea of what a virus is has a different meaning in the non-specialist’s mind, so much so that most of the time viruses are confused with the more general idea of malware (or malicious programs). The term of “virus” for computers appeared only in 1988. However, the artificial beings that are denoted by the term of virus did in fact exist many years before and their theoretical fundaments were established long before their real existence. The formal work of mathematicians during the 1930s largely contributed to the development of viruses. A number of virus writers have discovered a huge field of applications with this formalization. This fact may be less wellknown. Early viruses only put von Neumann’s theory of self-reproducing automata into application. In the same way, viral polymorphism did not appear “ex nihilo”. This book takes you through logic of some famous viruses and in way teach you what are different things that virus writers target for.

Springer - Computer Security in the 21st Century - Download ebook

Computer security has moved to the forefront of public concern in the new millennium. Hardly a day passes where newspaper headlines do not scream out worries about "phishing" , "identity theft" , "browser exploits" , "computer worms" , "computer viruses" , "online privacy" , and related concerns. The major vendor of computer operating systems has announced that computer security is now its top priority. Governments around the world, including most major governments in North America, Europe, and East Asia continue to worry about "cyber-terrorism" and "cyber-war" as active concerns. It was in this charged environment that we decided to hold a workshop in December 2003 on emerging technologies for computer security. The workshop was held in Taipei in conjunction with several other conferences (notably Asiacrypt) and featured leading researchers from the Asia-Pacific region and the United States. What followed was three days of exchange of ideas that led to a number of significant developments. This book attempts to share some of the research trends that were reflected in the best papers published at the
conference.
