The book in question by whatshisname at Lucent "Repelling the Wily Hacker" is a quite amazing book. I've been reading it on and off for a few months when I'm bored at work, and I've learned a few things from it (even a few outdated things). If you're looking for security I suggest you grab that book (look for the comic on the cover) and look for the Practical Unix Security book by ORA (O`Reilly and Associates http://www.ora.com).. they're both quite good reads. .------------------------------------- ---- -- - - - - | Synthesizer Punk - Chto takoe xorocho a chto takoe ploho? | http://www.firestarter.org - ftp://ftp.firestarter.org | mailto:anarchy@wasteland.org - irc://irc.wasteland.org `------------- ------ ---- -- - - - - On Thu, 9 Jan 1997, Akadi wrote: > Why does every security book that use the words 'wily' and 'hacker' do > so well? *grin* > >
