HackNotes: Linux and Unix Security Portable Reference

HackNotes

About the Book:

The book in general is  about network security with the operating systems such as Linux and Unix.  In my opinion, this book reference will be  really helpful for those students who study c335 Network Security as it addresses most of the issues in that module. The book itself is divided into three parts: Hacking Techniques and Defenses,  Host Hardening and Special Topics

Part 1: Hacking Techniques and Defenses

In this part, the reader will get to know what intrusion tactics do hackers use to break into computer networks. One of the tools used for footprinting is nmap which can scan hosts on the network with an amazing speed.  With nmap and its various commands we wil know what ports and opened on the host and know what operating system is running on that box.

To me, it is one of the most wonderful movies directed by RIDLEY SCOTT. Amazing performance by Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell and Alison Lohman will attract you into the movie from the beginning to the end. The story line is interesting and dramatical: Roy (Nicolas Cage) and Frank (Sam Rockwell) are two excellent con men. They are successful in their jobs. However, Roy’s private life is unstable. He is extremely lonely and suffers from obsessive-compulsive agoraphobe until his long-absent 14-year-old daughter Angela (Alison Lohman) shows up. The clever and lovely girl excited his life and let him find the father-daughter love back. What’s more, Angela is a genius at crime and eager to learn the art of the con from her father…

When I saw Angela at the first time, I loved her so much. Such a cute and wild girl! It’s so fun and exciting watching the sweet time the father and daughter had together. It’s easy and happy at the beginning; however, good things won’t last long, especially when what you seeded before was a poison.

 It’s time for you to enjoy the show and think about your own life. As I mentioned before, the movie itself will tell you much more than what I can say.
