This book covers all aspects of computer security. Some of the topics covered include:
✔ How to remain anonymous when sending e-mail, posting to a newsgroup, or
chatting (e-mail, posts, and chat are the opposite of anonymous, though many
people mistakenly feel anonymous when doing these things).
✔ Blocking entry by the “spiders” that roam the Web (get it?) trying to break into
your computer when you’re on the Internet.
✔ Preventing others from watching you online and building a permanent profile of
your behaviors—which sites you visit, what you read, which pictures you view,
how long you view each one, which ones you ignore, what you buy, when you
buy, and thousands of other data.When assembled, all these pieces of information
give outsiders (whether individuals, businesses, or government agencies) a
highly accurate, surprisingly detailed portrait of your personality, finances, personal
information such as your Social Security number, and so on.
✔ How businesses can intelligently defend against hacker attacks, both from outsiders
and the odd, deeply peeved employee inside.
✔ Encrypting your data easily and thoroughly (this way, even if someone does get
access to your files or e-mail, they can’t make any sense out of the scrambled
characters).
✔ How to avoid viruses, both historical and those yet to come.
✔ Understanding how the computer has raised the bar quite high, both for radically
improved encryption as well as the inevitable attempts by intruders to decipher
the encrypted documents.
