Description
Develop a Well-Measured Defense Against CybercriminalsWhen we speak of the hacker mind, then, we have come to mean the mind of a miscreant motivated by a broad range of ulterior purposes. We mean script kiddies who download scripts written by others and execute them with the click of a button, we mean vandals with limited impulse control, we mean thieves of data, and then we mean all the people who use that data for extortion, corporate or industrial espionage, state-level spy craft, identity theft, grand larceny, blackmail, vicious revenge, or terror. That's lots of kinds of minds, needing to be understood, needing to be profiled, needing to be penetrated, needing to be known inside and out.--from the preface by Richard Thieme.
