Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
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.

Kurzbeschreibung
In recent years information warfare has trickled from the domain of governments and megacorporations into the lives and workplaces of the average citizen, and privacy concerns are at an all-time high. Cybershock is the first book to guide the average Internet user through online perils and offers answers and solutions in common-sense language. Winn Schwartau leads readers through the basics (What's hacking? Who hacks?), introduces actual hacking tools and techniques, and using corporate, law enforcement, and military examples, teaches how to become a successful anti-hacker. It also provides balanced viewpoints through graphic, pictorial, and written contributions from the principal stakeholders: hackers and phreakers; corporate security experts; lawyers and cyberjudicial professionals; and officers with the security-sensitive military and government agencies. The book includes an extensive listing of both hacking and anti-hacking Internet sites and a compendium of the leading anti-hacking security products and tools.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Cybershock: Surviving Hackers, Phreakers, Identity Thieves, Internet Terrorists and Weapons of Mass Disruption by Winn Schwartau is an enlightening look at the dangers of the Internet from a consumer/ general user perspective. If I had one book to give friends and family that demonstrates the types of threats they need to be aware of in the information age, it would be Schwartau's Cybershock. Winn wrote this book for the mass market and he never strays from his target audience. He makes no apologies to those who are familiar with technology and security when he provides real-life examples of information security horror stories involving fraud or identity theft that many might label as fear mongering. Winn's stories are personal because he has been a victim and many of his friends and relatives have been targeted as well. One of Winn's major objectives in writing this book was to advance ideas on privacy and Internet rights, and many of the examples point the reader in a specific direction. However, Winn doesn't hide the fact that he is trying to be somewhat controversial to raise awareness on specific issues. The book, after all is entitled Cybershock, not Cybercalm. As an added bonus, the book also provides some interesting historical perspectives as Winn describes and interviews individuals who were visionaries offering information security services or predicted new threats before they emerged.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
An outstanding book which provides a glimpse into the hacker "community" and some insight into the technology they embrace as well. A must read for those interested in the subject of computer security (regardless of which side of the security door you stand on). The level of detail is enough to educate the average reader on the subject without being overwhelming, and enough reference info is provided to allow for further study. Winn's "irreverent" tone is refreshing as well, making the book entertaining at the same time. Great book!
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is needed, it covers the broad area of Information Warfare, and actually gives realistic and understandable examples. A must read for those interested in the topic. The writing style is relaxed, but the content is not shallow. Read it!

Cashing in on Media Hype
This book is basically Schwartau's attempt at making a few quick bucks by writing to a paranoid audience created by the media. Lesen Sie weiter...

Excellent Book

Sensational and erroneous
Winn Schwartau's new book is rife with sensational statements and overblown generalizations--both guaranteed to inflate book sales. Lesen Sie weiter...

Blatant plea for attention -- no real facts
This book is similar to those "When Animals Attack, Part 2" shows on the Fox network -- and just as thoughtfully written. Lesen Sie weiter...

Outstanding Book!
The book reads like a spy thriller, filled with exciting twists and turns. Geared to the serious computer security sicophant!
