    The True Life Story of a Con Artist, Carny, and Identity Thief. My entire life has been one big lie. Actually thousands of them all mixed up with just enough truth that sometimes even I can't tell the difference

anymore, which is probably why no one else can either.

I didn't set out in life to become a liar, con artist, hustler, or identity thief, who would? But that’s exactly what I've been, ever since I stole my first identity, wrote my first bad check, and ran my first con, over thirty years ago and long before they invented the catchy and now familiar label "Identity Thief"

I stole my first identity after running away from a boy’s home at the age of fourteen, and joined the United States Army. Since then I've also been in the U.S. Navy, a cook, bartender, cab driver, truck driver, sales clerk, store detective, hotel detective, construction worker, electrician, foundry worker, telemarketer, hospital orderly, maintenance technician, cable TV installer, delivery man, ranch hand, disc jockey, bouncer,

    This book is a practical guide for anyone designing or administering a corporate or e-business network that runs across a number of platforms via the Internet. It arms systems administrators with a thorough understanding of the problems of network security and their solutions, and thus helps realize the tremendous potential of e-business. With the explosion growth of e-commerce and the opening up of corporate networks to external customers, security is now the number one issue for networking professionals. Concerns about hackers and the possible damage they can do to a business, and the potential vulnerabilities of a system can be overwhelming and can create an unhealthy business environment. However, a great deal of this is based on lack of information as to exactly how hackers approach their task, and of the exact vulnerabilities that they prey on. In this book, Jeff Crume dispels this fear by putting these threats into perspective and allowing realistic defense mechanisms to be created, to the extent that security becomes a business enabler, rather than inhibitor. Inside Internet Security describes the underlying principles that crop up again and again in hacker attacks, and then progresses to focus on lessons that can be learned, and how to protect against recurrence. Features: Practical hands-on advice on securing networked systems Security checklists for common scenarios Pointers to other detailed information sources In-depth theoretical background information Real-world Examples of actual attacks A glimpse into the future of IT security...
