Re: Case Study books or Websites

[Brian Olson <brian () sitespinners net>]

The same Publisher for the Hacking Exposed series also released some 
good books along the line of computer forensics called "Hacker's 
Challenge". There are two books in this series and they cover a veriety 
of comprimises on Windows, *nix, LANs, etc. The way the book is written, 
it gives you the details of events along a timeline, then asks you a 
series of questions to test your knowledge. The answers and 
Administrator's response is detailed in the back of the book.

*Hacker's Challenge : Test Your Incident Response Skills Using 20 
Scenarios*
   By - Mike Schiffman
   - McGraw-Hill Osborne Media; ISBN: 0072193840

*Hacker's Challenge 2: Test Your Network Security & Forensic Skills
   *By* - *Mike Schiffman
   - McGraw-Hill Osborne Media; ISBN: 0072226307

I've read the first book and found it to be very good. I just orded the 
second book.

Hope this helps =)
