Nmap Hackers, You may recall that I co-authored a hacker fiction book last year named Stealing the Network: How to Own a Continent. We (Myself, FX, Joe Grand, Jay Beale, Kevin Mitnick, etc.) applied actual security techniques to fictional yet realistic scenarios. My tale, "Return on Investment" was (and still is) available for free at http://www.insecure.org/stc/ . I'm pleased to announce that Syngress has now released a sequel, "How to Own an Identity". While I was too busy with Nmap to participate, Nmap contributer Brian Hatch did. He's the guy who put SSL into Nmap version detection, among a dozen or so other patches. His story is my favorite of the new book. It is full of wry humor that security/unix geeks will get, and also creative/amusing ideas for defending and attacking systems. I thought you guys would like it since it discusses Nmap, Ethereal, packet crafting, port knocking, filesystem encryption, SSL MITM attacks, kernel module hacking, etc. It also stands on its own even if you don't read the rest of the book. So I asked Syngress if I could post that chapter for free, and they agreed. So if you feel like geeking out for half an hour this weekend or slacking off at work on Monday, you can find it here: http://www.insecure.org/stc/sti.html Enjoy!
