 Absolute Beginner's Guide to Security, Spam, Spyware
Sample Chapter - Hackers: There's a Man in My Machine
If your computer is a fortress, hackers are the interlopers with pointy metal hats who charge the gate, scale the walls, or use stolen keys to get inside. Their mission? To steal your crown jewels or carve graffiti on the walls, such as "The king is a weenie." In this chapter I’ll tell you why they want access to your computer, how they gain access to it, and what you stand to lose if they do. There’s also a really exciting section on how to stop them and what to do if one of them succeeds. It’s like a medieval video game, but scarily, it’s real.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Ethical Hacking
This book is about hacking ethically - the science of testing your computers and networks for security vulnerabilities and plugging the holes you find before the bad guys get a chance to exploit them. Although ethical is an often overused and misunderstood word, Webster's New World Dictionary defines ethical perfectly for the context of this book and the professional security testing techniques that I cover - that is, "conforming to the standards of conduct of a given profession or group."

Chapter 1 - Java Application Security
When Java was first released by Sun Microsystems, it attracted the attention of programmers throughout the world. These developers were attracted to Java for different reasons: some were drawn to Java because of its cross-platform capabilities, some because of its ease of programming (especially compared to object-oriented languages like C++), some because of its robustness and memory management, some because of Java's security, and some for still other reasons.

Chapter 1 - Hacking the Casinos for a Million Bucks
There comes a magical gambler's moment when simple thrills magnify to become 3-D fantasies — a moment when greed chews up ethics and the casino system is just another mountain waiting to be conquered. In that single moment the idea of a foolproof way to beat the tables or the machines not only kicks in but kicks one's breath away.

Chapter 1: Why Won't They Leave Me Alone?
What people do often says more about who they are and what they think than what they think they think, and what people say they think doesn't necessarily tell you what they'll do next. Lots of people who say they care about privacy hand out detailed personal information to anyone who offers them a piece of free software, for example. Even before they've seen the software, even before they know (or think to ask) the uses to which the information will be put, they've shared their personal data.
