[Chester LUG] Magazines

[Stuart Burns]

Hi Michael,

It's been a while since I bought a mag, esp at todays prices.

Ebooks can be good. If you want an entertaining read, try the "How to own an
identity, how to own the network and how to own a continent"  A very very
very good read in one long story with substories, ifyswim. Better than just
dry texts. It shows how trivial things can be attack vectors, using social
engineering, web security etc. It actually walks you through interesting
topics including how to do an sql injection attack, in story form. If you
are up on the HB Gary incident, it walks through very similar scenarios,
blow by blow. You get the idea its a very good read ? Only downside is the
cost £35ish per book (3 books in series) It is written by true blackhacks,
including Jeff Moss, Thor et all.

If you want a copy I know where you can get electronic copies v cheap ;)
Drop me a line ;)

Apart from that, cool websites include "Krebs on Security", the old fave
slashdot.org, pauldotcom.com, wired.com/threatlevel to name but a few :) I
could find more in my bookmarks if you really want.

Regards

Stuart
