Learn the concepts, methods, and implications of offensive cyber counterintelligence

Hacking Back: Offensive Cyber Counterintelligence is a look at cyber counterintelligence theory in a WikiLeaks world. The authors detail techniques—from phishing to sniffing and from attribution to takedown—all bolstered by case examples and rooted in the authors’ many years of in-the-trenches experience in trap-setting and detecting breaches. The book’s field notes—some from identified hackers, and some from anonymous hackers—consist of exciting, never-before-told case examples.

  • Details technically simple hacks, complex attacks, and famous network intrusions
  • Organized by methods so security practitioners can quickly find specific tactics and techniques
  • Dissects security breach scenarios, providing analyses of real-life operations from the authors’ many years of experience
  • Explains the US and EU cyber laws every savvy security practitioner defending against cybercrime should know
