Art of Deception
« on: May 24, 2007, 01:53:33 PM »
After about a month shipping airmail from the next province over, I've finally got my hands on this excellent book, and it kicks ass already.

And I have no ability to fix the typo in this thread title either...I better social engineer that password out of Brad soon.

Aren't you able to modify your posts?  I think you can.  It's a little paper and pencil icon on the top of the post.

And yeah, great book!

I thought I couldn't change the topic title itself but it appears I can. This book kicks intense amounts of ass, but I stopped after the first chapter because if I keep going I won't sleep tonight.

The first time this thread existed, ages ago, wasn't the Reception of "...Deception" a lot worse?

It's good for getting into the mindset of such problem solving. Otherwise it isn't that great. Written kind of poorly and endlessly repetitive. Sickeningly repetitive. I never finished it because I got the point after the first half.

I'm sure it's a lot scarier for people who've never heard of SE before.

Agreeing with Frog here, we've had this discussion on multiple occasions.

I would have rather liked a nice 1 hour film and a small pamphlet with the main drill-down points of SEing.

I agree, some of the examples are so cool they would make good segments in a movie anthology sorta thing.

It's good to remember that SEing is an art form, not too many books can instill that into it's readers. Especially from a book written by "other people", instead of the author....

Everybody's heard of SE before. It's just that it's not always called "SE." I don't think the book's repetitive though. It's just designed to drive home the point that you can get owned 20 million ways to Sunday and you need to know the way to spot, or try to spot, any one of those methods when it's being used on you or your company or your friends and co-workers.

Have you got a copy of "The Art of Intrusion?"

No, I think I may since I thought a lot of this stuff was cool. Except for Woz using an unncecessary apostrophe in the forward.
