The following capsule reviews Steals Computer Book 2: Do not even bother. Its practical advice reflect a little more than common sense ("The best way to prevent and treat computer viruses is to buy an antivirus program") and anecdotal materials companies also tend toward the obvious ("... Virus writers are better tend to be very skilled programmers "). In addition, it is printed in letters annoying, and some times it quotes graffiti hackers obscenity-filled (because, you see, the book is so radical and edgy and all). This is embarrassing, especially about Stealing Computer Book 2 is that rips off the title of Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book, a 1970 how-to guide for anarchists and freeloaders happy. Some better choices: read Hacking Exposed, Second Edition for the excellent coverage of the 'hacker techniques and software, and Network Intrusion Detection receivable for the attack on the secure network.
