Review:
Computer security is a crucial aspect of modern information management, and one of the latest buzzwords is incident response--detecting and reacting to security breaches. Computer Forensics offers information professionals a disciplined approach to implementing a comprehensive incident-response plan, with a focus on being able to detect intruders, discover what damage they did, and hopefully find out who they are. There is little doubt that the authors are serious about cyberinvestigation. They advise companies to "treat every case like it will end up in court," and although this sounds extreme, it is good advice. Upon detecting a malicious attack on a system, many system administrators react instinctively. This often involves fixing the pr... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
"Computer Security Basics" is a pretty accurate name. The book is an overview of many aspects that go into the security of computers and data systems. While not exhaustive, it at least provides a starting point from which to pursue specific topics which require more detailed study. A thorough reading of the book will ensure that those charged with security will not miss certain aspects of the field in a single minded pursuit of one particular threat. Having said that, it is difficult to recommend the book as a "sole source" for information. While it contains a great deal of useful, helpful and informative material, the quality and accuracy is inconsistent. One would do well to check items with other sources. The book starts with an ...

Review:
In defending your systems against intruders and other meddlers, a little knowledge can be used to make the bad guys--particularly the more casual among them--seek out softer targets. Counter Hack aims to provide its readers with enough knowledge to toughen their Unix and Microsoft Windows systems against attacks in general, and with specific knowledge of the more common sorts of attacks that can be carried out by relatively unskilled "script kiddies." The approach author Ed Skoudis has chosen is effective, in that his readers accumulate the knowledge they need and generally enjoy the process. The best part of this book may be two chapters, one each for Windows and Unix, that explain the essential security terms, conventions, procedures, and... Rest of this review on the detail page

Book description
Computer Security .... the book I have been looking for for years .... Viiveke Fåk, Linköping University A comprehensive and practical text and the perfect starting point for this subject… ‘Is this system secure?’ seems, on the face of it, a straightforward question. Yet how one arrives at an answer is a process which poses a wide range of more complex questions which require a basic understanding of security mechanisms. Questions, such as:Should protection focus on data, operations or users?Whilst taking cast iron measures to build in security at one level, what does one do to prevent attackers gaining entry from a lower level?Starting with basic definitions and concepts, the first section of the book goes on to ou...
