RE: Honeypots/nets and threat research

["Security News" <security () speakeasy net>]

An excellent book to get about hacker tools and tactics, step by step is
"Hack I.T." by T.J. Klevensky, Scott Laliberte, and Ajay Gupta.  I really
enjoyed this book with its tactical ways how to exploit and attack systems
(not intended for hacker purposes, but for penetration and educational
purposes).  It contains case studies how to attack a system externally and
internally.  The book is awesome and comes with CD contained with free tools
and tools on a trial basis.

Subject: Honeypots/nets and threat research




 Hi,  I'm working on a project about using honeypots/nets to learn more
about  hacker tools and tactics as part of my master's degree. I was
wondering  if there are any companies out there who are actively using
honeypots/nets to research threats, where the research is being fed back
into product/patch development/testing, etc. If so, could you please  email
me at: elaine () diku dk? I'd be interested in working with you and  learning
more about this area.  TIA, Elaine.
