RE: Case Study books or Websites

A litlle bit old, but very interesting, for sure is Underground from SUELETTE DREYFUS and JULIAN ASSANGE You can buy a copy, or get a free Txt version at http://www.underground-book.com/

The book tell the story of some famous hacker, some 10 years or more Ago, until 2001 (In fact first publishing was in 1997, and a second time in 2001.)Giving technical details, reaction from te admin, the police, etc... Should fill your need.

Very well written and for sure, made from a huge amount of documentation work.. Should you have prob to find it, don't hesitate to contact me offline..

Regards,

Max

There is a "generic" book titled "Hacking Exposed" that may be useful. A good, if dated book, is "The Cuckoo's Egg," which describes a hacker and the efforts to track him down.

Does anybody know of some good books or websites that contain case studies about computer security breakins and what the admin did/should have done to correct the problems. I found the case studies in Hacking Linux Exposed very interesting and I am looking to learn anything from those type of stories. Anything from the very simple to the complex would be appreciated.

Thanks
Simon
