Books like Stealing the network by Johnny Long

Stealing the Network concludes Syngress’s award‑winning series with a gripping, fiction‑based tale that portrays realistic, detailed scenarios of computer intrusion and counter‑strike tactics. The narrative follows mastermind Knuth—a recurring character from earlier titles—and the skilled cyber adversaries who pursue him worldwide and across the internet. Their maneuvers span conventional and unconventional targets: from game stations, printers, and fax machines to service‑provider class switches and routers, demonstrating how physical security, open‑source intelligence, and network exploitation can be combined to steal, deceive, and obfuscate information. Readers are offered an entertaining yet informative look at the tools, techniques, and tactics used by hackers, law enforcement, and organized crime alike.
