From the Back Cover
To safeguard your company's data, think like a hacker!
When it comes to computer security, your livelihood and your company's future are on the line. It's not enough to simply follow a security “cookbook”: you need to get into the mind of your adversary, the hacker.
In Halting the Hacker, a leading Fortune 500 security consultant shows you the approaches and techniques hackers use to gain access, privileges, and control of your UNIX system. You'll learn to look at your system the way a hacker does, identifying potential vulnerabilities. You'll learn what specific countermeasures to take now. Even more important, you'll learn how to recognize and respond to future security concerns—before they become catastrophes. You'll discover:


*How hackers transform minor oversights into major security breaches

*How hackers cover their tracks while leaving “back doors” into your system

*How to protect your system against disgruntled or dishonest insiders

*How to detect break-ins—and what to do next

Halting the Hacker even includes an exclusive CD-ROM software library of tools to detect and eliminate security problems, and a comprehensive information archive on security and hacker-related topics.
If you're responsible for the security of a UNIX computer system, you're up against some extraordinarily smart and persistent adversaries. You need to even the odds. You need Halting the Hacker.
