One of the leading information security and electronic privacy experts in the United States, Schwartau (Information Warfare) here brings the perils of the Internet to life in an engaging style accessible to the average reader. Schwartau describes an Internet full of criminal hackers and cyberpunks who are clearly ethically challenged but clever enough and willing to use deception to establish and expand their power. He explains who these people are, why they hack, and how they crack passwords, break into systems, and maintain their anonymity. More importantly, Schwartau suggests what a user can do to deter such attacks and explains the fundamentals of how to protect oneself without having to become a security expert. With burgeoning concerns over privacy and security on the Internet, this is one book that everyone from systems administrators to casual net surfers should read. References to further readings are scattered throughout the work. Highly recommended for most collections.
