KNOW WHAT THE HACKERS KNOW

  • Hackers are bookworms. You should be too.
  • Good bookstores have large computer sections. There is always a security section.
  • Get the following books:
  • Unix Security by N. Derek Arnold McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0-07-002560-6 {PBK}

Notes:

As a simple matter of trust, you should be able to know when someone is lying to you.
