Maximum security : a hacker's guide to protecting your Internet site and network (2nd ed)

Security continues to be the predominant concern for any organization that is either on the Internet now or considering it.

Nary a week passes where there isnt some new report of hackers breaking into computer systems at some government agency, or trashing some Fortune 500 companys Web site, or even stealing user passwords and credit card numbers.

In June 1997, this books first edition immediately shot to the top of several computer security bestseller lists.

While undoubtedly some bought the book to learn how to hack, it turns out that the books most enthusiastic fans were computer security managers who appreciated the books comprehensive coverage and clear, to-the-point descriptions of the most common techniques hackers use to penetrate systems.

The hacking community, however, hasnt stood still. This thoroughly updated edition discusses the hundreds of new computer system holes that have been discovered over the course of the past year, and covers the latest hacker techniques.
