Voth Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 27-FEB-2009 Insert Date: 13-FEB-2009 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Chained Exploits: Advanced Hacking Attacks from Start to Finish The complete guide to today’s
hard-to-defend chained attacks: performing them and preventing
them
Nowadays, it’s rare for malicious
hackers to rely on just one exploit or tool; instead, they use
“chained” exploits that integrate multiple forms of
attack to achieve their goals. Chained exploits are far more
complex and far more difficult to defend. Few security or hacking
books cover them well and most don’t cover them at all. Now
there’s a book that brings together start-to-finish
information about today’s most widespread chained
exploits–both how to perform them and how to...

20. |  By: Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Publication Date: 30-JAN-2007 Insert Date: 06-MAR-2008 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Rootkits For Dummies® A rootkit is a type of malicious software that gives the hacker
"root" or administrator access to your network. They are activated
before your system's operating system has completely booted up,
making them extremely difficult to detect. Rootkits allow hackers
to install hidden files, processes, and hidden user accounts.
Hackers can use them to open back doors in order to intercept data
from terminals, connections, and keyboards. A rootkit hacker can
gain access to your systems and stay there for years, completely
undetected.
