Defending the Digital Frontier
Ellen Messmer writes: Authored by three Ernst & Young Security Services partners, this book is a basic primer for upper-level corporate executives in managing security risks related to applications and network use in their organizations. It explains the fundamentals of intrusion-detection systems, VPNs, firewalls and password controls to the uninitiated, who may well be the one in authority to pay for it all. The book includes a foreword by former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who exorts business execs to get wise to network security and the liability issues that can clobber them. "This is not a situation that can be solved just by increasing corporate security budgets," claims Giuliani, to which most IT managers would probably respond, "It couldn't hurt."

Hacking Exposed
Ellen Messmer writes: Not for the faint of heart, this 737-page book on hacker techniques and some defenses for them is an encyclopedia of mischief for hacking Windows, Novell NetWare, Unix, dial-up, PBX, voicemail, VPNs, wireless, firewalls and the Web. Authored by Stuart McClure, president of Foundstone, Joel Scambray, senior director of Security for Microsoft's MSN and George Kurtz, CEO of Foundstone, this volume is the updated fourth version of "Hacking Exposed" and tries to stay one jump ahead of the hacker script-kiddies. $29.99.

Hacking Exposed, Fourth Edition
Ellen Messmer writes: For true geeks with not just a tolerance but a sheer love for tecnical detail, this 737-page book will provide a thrill. Just when you've had enough of hacking measures and countermeasures ("As you can see, kernal rootkits can be devastating and almost impossible to find") you stumble into a paragraph that shines with a kind of Zen insight ("Many have chafed at the inscrutability of the IPSec draft standard, but Microsoft has embedded it in Windows 2000, so it's not going anywhere for a while. This incrutability may have a bright side, however. Because no one seems to completely understand what IPSec is really doing, few have any clue how to attack it when they come across it." Maybe it's an inside joke for the security cognoscenti, but at least the three authors, Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray and George Kurtz tell it well. $34.99.

Ellen Messmer writes: Written by a cast of ten information security consultants from Foundstone, this 228-page volume seeks to be a kind of reference manual for Windows and Unix administrators that want to tighten security. While hackers are probably already familiar with the information in this book, "Network Security Portable Reference" offers admins a crash course in how hackers regard their networks -including a list of "useful ports and services in the hacking process" and where trojan horses tend to reside.

IT Security: Risking the Corporation

Ellen Messmer writes:

The author, Linda McCarthy, is touted as the executive security advisor in Symantec's CTO division; former vice president of systems engineering at Recourse Technologies and prior to that, senior vice president at Netsec and manager of security research at Sun Microsystems. The book she has written - which she emphasizes in a preface is "not a work of fiction. This is a collection of real security audits" - is a collection of her real-world adventures with the names of corporations and individuals changed. While the tales are amusing enough, they ultimately fail to satisfy since they awkwardly straddle that netherworld between fact and fiction. Take the example of the fictionally-named "Wall Street giant" that McCarthy dubs "InterMint Financial" where systems administrators "Jose and Dawn" seem to be "clueless."

"I found all the legal systems to be wide open," McCarthy writes with the breathless tone that characterizes the whole book, while also noting, "No doubt InterMint's lawyers would have been appalled."

This book is good as a detective novel, but the moral of the story tends to always be that people are pretty clueless about security.

Malware: Fighting Malicious Code
Ellen Messmer writes: "Authored by Ed Skoudis and Lenny Zeltser, this 647-page volume is a clearly-written exposition on malware - trojans, worm, rootkits and more - intended to subvert if not destroy your network. While the book strives for technical depth, it also turns to a story-telling approach which gives the book a murder mystery flavor, if not that of a Stephen King-like novel about software." $31.49.

Practical Unix & Internet Security
Ellen Messmer writes: This updated version of the Unix security guide first published in 1991 and again in 1996 has the three authors, Simson Garfinkel, Gene Spafford and Alan Schwartz, focusing on what they say are the four most common versions of Unix today: Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, and MacOS X.

The wide-ranging 954-page book on Unix security is targeted towards the technically-adept administrator who wants to take practical steps to secure systems. $38.47.

Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box
"Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box is a unique book in the fiction department. It combines stories that are false, with technology that is real. While none of the stories have happened, there is no reason why they could not. You could argue it provides a road map for criminal hackers, but I say it does something else; it provides a glimpse into the creative minds of some of today’s best hackers, and even the best hackers will tell you that the game is a mental one." - from the foreword by Jeff Moss, President & CEO, BlackHat, Inc.

Ellen Messmer writes:

This straightforward and easy-to-read book by Allan Liska on the fundamentals of network security, ranging from firewalls and VPNs to monitoring of routers, switches and servers, is a useful starting point for any network administrator.

However, don't expect to find a large amount of information related to specific products on in-depth treatment of the latest barrage of network attacks.
