Stealing the Network is a book of science fiction. It's a series of short stories about characters who gain unauthorized access to equipment and information, or deny use of those resources to the people
who are meant to have access to them. The characters, though sometimes
well described, are not the stars of these stories. That honor belongs
to the tools
that the black-hat hackers use in their attacks, and also to the
defensive measures arrayed against them by the hapless sysadmins who,
in this volume, always lose. Consider this book, with its plentiful
detail, the answer to every pretty but functionally half-baked user
interface ever shown in a feature film.
Nine different authors come together to show you a world you may
have heard about but never thought could, would or will ever happen to
you and your company - the act of being hacked and having information
stolen.
