Penetrating Computer Systems and Networks
This chapter discusses different aspects of penetration of computer systems and networks. Both technical and nontechnical aspects come into play when people attempt to penetrate security systems. Penetration of information systems is possible by means of a wide range of methods, some of which are very hard to defend against. People responsible for securing systems have to defend against this wide range of penetration methods. The cheapest and most effective attacks are often nontechnical, exploiting human frailty rather than weaknesses in the technology. Experienced criminal hackers tend to favor the nontechnical attack over the technical; and the best defense, employee awareness, is also nontechnical. Systems can be attacked at the client, at the server, or at the connection between the two. This chapter looks at methods of tricking people into allowing unauthorized access to systems. It also examines technical measures for overcoming security barriers and specific techniques for penetration, and describes legal and political aspects of system penetration.

The match was billed as a battle between Virginia's offense and North Carolina's staunch defense, but the Tar Heels never allowed the visitors to get in gear before 4,800 fans. The Tar Heels can win the Atlantic Coast Conference title by beating Duke (8-3, 0-2 in the ACC) next Saturday. \"They stymied us with aggressive team defense,\" said Cavaliers attackman Doug Amacher, who had a goal. \"They packed it in so we couldn't go one-on-one and then [Barney Aburn] was scooping up everything.\"
