Summary:

""Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box"" is NOT intended to be a ""install, configure, update, troubleshoot, and defend book."" It is also NOT another one of the countless Hacker books out there. So, what IS it? It is an edgy, provocative, attack-oriented series of chapters written in a first hand, conversational style. World-renowned network security personalities present a series of 25 to 30 page chapters written from the point of an attacker who is gaining access to a particular system. This book portrays the ""street fighting"" tactics used to attack networks and systems.Not
