READING LIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
CHAP. 13
Bratus et al., ‘‘From Buffer Overflows to Weird Machines and Theory of Computa-
tion’’
Connecting the humble buffer overflow to Alan Turing. The authors show that
hackers program vulnerable programs like
weird machines
with strange-looking
instruction sets. In doing so, they come full circle to Turing’s seminal research on
‘‘What is computable?’’
Denning,
Information Warfare and Security
Information has become a weapon of war, both military and corporate. The
participants try not only to attack the other side’s information systems, but to safe-
guard their own, too.
In this fascinating book, the author covers every conceivable
topic relating to offensive and defensive strategy, from data diddling to packet snif-
fers. A must read for anyone seriously interested in computer security.
Ford and Allen, ‘‘How Not to Be Seen’’
Viruses, spyware, rootkits, and digital rights management systems all have a
great interest in hiding things. This article provides a brief introduction to stealth in
its various forms.
Hafner and Markoff,
Cyberpunk
Three compelling tales of young hackers breaking into computers around the
world are told here by the
New York Times
computer reporter who broke the Inter-
net worm story (Markoff).
Johnson and Jajodia, ‘‘Exploring Steganography: Seeing the Unseen’’
Steganography has a long history, going back to the days when the writer
would shave the head of a messenger, tattoo a message on the shaved head, and
send him off after the hair grew back. Although current techniques are often hairy,
they are also digital and have lower latency. For a thorough introduction to the
subject as currently practiced, this paper is the place to start.
Ludwig, ‘‘The Little Black Book of Email Viruses’’
If you want to write antivirus software and need to understand how viruses
work down to the bit level, this is the book for you. Every kind of virus is dis-
cussed at length and actual code for many of them is supplied as well.
A thorough
knowledge of programming the x86 in assembly language is a must, however.
Mead, ‘‘Who is Liable for Insecure Systems?’’
Although most work on computer security approaches it from a technical per-
spective, that is not the only one.
Suppose software vendors were legally liable for
the damages caused by their faulty software. Chances are security would get a lot
more attention from vendors than it does now? Intrigued by this idea? Read this
article.
