Hack Attacks encyclopedia

Network hacking continues to be an alarming problem for computer systems worldwide. From mysterious server crashes to lost data, the results are not only costly to fix but often difficult to recognize. Security expert John Chirillo, author of Hack Attacks Revealed and Hack Attacks Denied, provides another powerful tool in the battle against hacks, cracks, phreaks, and spies.

This book delves into the underground of hacking to offer a detailed look at the program files and code snippets used to get into companies. With files dating as far back as the 1970s all the way through to the present, Chirillo examines every variation–not just primary code modules–of all the hacks ever created. He also provides an in–depth look at the beginning of hacks and how it has evolved over the past three decades, and describes all of the collected hacks, phreak files, cracks, and virus hacks that have occurred during this time.

With close to 2,000 texts, program files, and code snippets (equating to over 11,000 pages of historical documentation on the CD), this comprehensive collection will help you uncover:
∗ Anarchist secrets on ATM machines, pay phones, cellular networks, locks, magnetic strip cards, credit cards, pirate radio, and television broadcasting
∗ The tools and exploits developed and used by the world′s top hackers to manipulate all types of computer security

Présentation de l'éditeur

A complete library of the hottest, never–before–published underground hack variations
In his highly provocative books, Hack Attacks Revealed (0–471–41624–X) and Hack Attacks Denied (0–471–41625–8), corporate hack master John Chirillo described the tools, techniques, and primary code that hackers use to exploit network security loopholes and then shows specific methods for blocking these attacks. However, now that so many of their standard techniques have been revealed, underground hackers and cyberpunks are again skirting the system, going beyond primary code, and resorting to using complex code variations of old techniques. That′s where this book breaks new ground––by providing, for the first time, the most comprehensive compendium of all the complex variations of these techniques, both historical and current, that the hacking underground doesn′t want you to see. It offers astounding details on just about every tool used by those who break into corporate networks––information that will go a long way toward helping you close any remaining security gaps. An ideal companion volume to the other "Hack Attacks" books, Hack Attacks Complete:
o Covers hacks from the 1970s all the way to new millennium hacks
o Details every permutation, variation, and category of hacking tools
o Categorizes hacks for easy reference, with such categories as hacking, cracking, phreaking, spying, anarchy and underground spite, and hack/phreak technical library
