   "Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box is a unique book in the
   fiction department. It combines stories that are false, with technology
   that is real. While none of the stories have happened, there is no
   reason why they could not. You could argue it provides a road map for
   criminal hackers, but I say it does something else; it provides a
   glimpse into the creative minds of some of today's best hackers, and
   even the best hackers will tell you that the game is a mental one." -
   from the foreword by Jeff Moss, President & CEO, BlackHat, Inc.
   Stealing the Network is a book of science fiction. It's a series of
   short stories about characters who gain unauthorized access to
   equipment and information, or deny use of those resources to the people
   who are meant to have access to them. The characters, though sometimes
   well described, are not the stars of these stories. That honor belongs
   to the tools that the black-hat hackers use in their attacks, and also
   to the defensive measures arrayed against them by the hapless sysadmins
   who, in this volume, always lose. Consider this book, with its
   plentiful detail, the answer to every pretty but functionally
   half-baked user interface ever shown in a feature film.

   One can read this book for entertainment, though its writing falls well
   short of cyberpunk classics like [2]Burning Chrome and [3]Snow Crash.
   Its value is in its explicit references to current technologies--Cisco
   routers, OpenSSH, Windows 2000--and specific techniques for hacking
   them (the heroes and heroines of this book are always generous with
   command-history dumps). The specific detail may open your eyes to
   weaknesses in your own systems (or give you some ideas for, ahem,
   looking around on the network). Alternately, you can just enjoy the
   extra realism that the detail adds to these stories of packetized
   adventure. --David Wall

   The stories of the Stealing the Network series entertain in the same
   way that "war stories" from fellow hackers and security professionals
   often keeps a more intimate audience's interest: by mixing intriguing
   situations with juicy technical detail that can serve as a useful
   take-away. No one will accuse these books of containing fine
   literature, but that's not really the point. The stories are well
   written enough to keep you wanting to know what will happen next, while
   the technical information is as accurate as you're likely to see in
   fiction. Segments involving hacking are written and illustrated with
   enough attention to detail and length to serve as introductory
   educational tutorials for the topics (including web application
   hacking, reverse engineering, and wireless security). Most of these
   scenarios are believable as parts of larger-scale operations.
