Stealing the Network – How to own the box

with one comment

I am reading a unique book these days “Stealing the Network – How to own the box“. Written by a team of well known hackers – or white hat crackers – and published in 2003, the book is still a very interesting read.

I have read only the first three “stories”. Yes, the book is a series of fictional stories about cracking into networks and owning “boxes”. I was excited, scared, thrilled skeptical, awestruck and grinning while reading these stories. The book shows what goes through the minds of crackers and how they execute their plans. It’s like the Hollywood tech movies, but much more realistic – even with full details of tools used.

Network sniffing, cellular phone interception, physical theft, password cracking, worm creation and finger print faking are some of the things I have read about so far. And I am eager to learn more!

The book is printed in India by Shroff Publishers and I recommend it to all hackers around! Thanks to Kartik for passing on the book!
