How Hackers Think - Understand the Attack, and You Will Learn the Defence

Defence makes sense only when you understand what it is defending against.

How Hackers Think takes you inside the attacker's way of seeing the world — how targets are chosen, how weaknesses are noticed, how an attack is planned — so that every defence you learn afterwards has a reason behind it. The book is written for defenders and honest learners, and it ends where it must: with a clear, honest chapter on the legal and ethical line, and the far better road on the right side of it.

Inside you will learn:

• How attackers look at a system differently from its owners

• The stages an attack usually passes through

• The mistakes attackers count on — and how not to make them

• How defenders use the same thinking to protect people
