Aprašymas

Have you heard stories of people who have hacked into companies' computer systems, stolen precious data, and sold it for millions of dollars to the highest bidders online?

On the other hand, you must have watched the news and one of the stories was about a Hacker who gained credit card or bank information of numerous random individuals and made millions of dollars for himself. Some Hackers are living in exile in countries that allow them to hide from the people, companies, or governments that they hacked sensitive information. Others do not have to leave the country because no one knows their identity, but everyone knows their skills and the damage they could cause. However, it should not be an easy job, but due to the increase in "smart" gadgets in our homes, offices and pockets hackers now find other ways to access our lives with greater ease.

In an ideal situation, all computer networks would be safe from any form of interference and people would be free to share and upload information with confidence. However, we still have to arrive at this ideal situation, because even the best systems in the world have their vulnerabilities.

The objective of this book is to help the reader to understand how we have come since before the invention of the Internet to where we are now with the emphasis on Network security. The book addresses the most common threats that wireless networks face, the measures security organizations have put in place to address the risks, and the steps an individual can make to improve his or her chances of better security.
