Hacking for Dummies

"...a good read...a price well--worth paying, because such works are invaluable..." (InfoSecurity News Magazine, August 2004) "...an excellent aide..." (PC Home, August 2004) "...should be of interest to both ethical and malicious hackers..." (Publishing News, 22 nd March 2004)

"Ethical hacking" is the process of entering into a hacker's mindset in order to spot system vulnerabilities by performing typical hacks in a controlled environment. This book helps security professionals understand how malicious users think and work, enabling administrators to defend their systems against attacks and to identify security vulnerabilities; shows readers how to approach their system security from the hacker's perspective and perform nondestructive penetration testing; helps the reader develop an ethical hacking plan, and examines typical attacks and how to counteract them; and guides readers through reporting vulnerabilities to upper management, managing security changes, automating the ethical hacking process, and training end-users to avoid being victimized.
