Steal This Computer Book 2 : What They Won't Tell You About The Internet

Wallace Wang

Here's a capsule review of Steal This Computer Book 2: Don't bother.
It's a directory of sites, combined with background information
(mostly at USA Today depth) about Internet security and online
privacy issues. Its practical advice reflects little more than common
sense ( "The best way to prevent and cure a computer virus is to buy
an antivirus program" ) and its anecdotal material also tends toward
the obvious ( "...The better virus writers tend to be highly skilled
programmers" ). Even sections that sound promising ( "Writing Your Own
Online Harassment Program" ) contain very few details, and prove to be
pretty much useless. In addition, it's printed in an annoying
typeface, and several times it quotes obscenity-riddled hacker
graffiti (because, you see, the book is so radical and edgy and all).
The particularly shameful thing about Steal This Computer Book 2 is
that its title rips off Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book, a 1970
how-to guide for anarchists and happy freeloaders. Where Hoffman
strives in his book to subvert a society that he finds repellent,
Wallace Wang merely describes some technologies and a few vaguely
interesting stories about them. Some better choices: read Hacking
Exposed, Second Edition for its excellent coverage of hackers'
techniques and software tools, and Network Intrusion Detection for
its accounts of attacks on secured networks. And, for an account of
government surveillance of Internet users--perhaps an indication that
the system needs subversion now more than ever--read The Puzzle
Palace. --David Wall Topics covered: Naughty things to do with
computers and on the Internet. The author explores research sites
with which you can dig up information on people, and explains
something about gaining access to private computing resources.
Historical exploits of black-hat hackers get considerable attention,
and viruses get lots of attention.

Steal This Computer Book 3: What They Won't Tell You About the Internet

Wallace Wang

This offbeat, non-technical book looks at what hackers do, how they
do it, and how you can protect yourself. The third edition of this
bestseller adopts the same informative, irreverent, and entertaining
style that made the first two editions a huge success. Thoroughly
updated, this edition also covers rootkits, spyware, web bugs,
identity theft, hacktivism, wireless hacking (wardriving),
biometrics, and firewalls.

Steal This File Sharing Book tackles the thorny issue of file sharing
networks such as Kazaa, Morpheus, and Usenet. It explains how these
networks work and how to use them. It exposes the dangers of using
file sharing networks--including viruses, spyware, and lawsuits--and
tells how to avoid them. In addition to covering how people use file

books and pornography, it also reveals how people use them to share
secrets and censored information banned by their governments.
