Free Hacker's Challenge : Test Your Incident Response Skills Using 20 Scenarios
I am a senior engineer for network security operations. I read "Hacker's Challenge" because one of my work duties involves training tier one and tier two security analysts. (Tier one analysts can recognize insecure digital assets; tier two analysts understand the threats to insecure digital assets; tier three analysts can manipulate most aspects of digital assets to mitigate insecurity.) I hoped "Hacker's Challenge" would educate my tier one and possibly tier two students. I now realize the book offers something for security professionals at all levels of expertise.
"Hacker's Challenge" is a collection of twenty "case studies." By dropping the reader into an incident response scenario, the book challenges security professionals to answer tough questions: How did the intruder gain access? What tools were used after the compromise occurred? How do you mitigate that threat in the future? This approach breathes new life into the world of security reading. Students will learn a lot by taking the time to answer these questions before consulting the well-written "solutions" section.
I noticed several technical themes repeated throughout "Hacker's Challenge." They included wireless vulnerabilities, Unicode and directory traversal attacks against Microsoft IIS, and older Solaris exploits. I particularly enjoyed the SQL server attack (challenge 7), and the thorough description of the sadmind worm (challenge 8). I liked the Macintosh case (challenge 15), but wished for coverage of OS X. Finally, the need for network security monitoring via intrusion detection system was wisely emphasized in many "solutions."
"Hacker's Challenge" isn't perfect, however. HK.
