A veteran of the NYPD, Derrick Parker served as the lead detective
in the Rap Intelligence Unit, the first special force devoted to
hip hop crime. For over 20 years he covered the hip hop beat and
uncovered the brutal truth behind some of music's most notorious
crimes. This book tells Parker's amazing story.
As the cliche reminds us, information is power. In this age of
computer systems and technology, an increasing majority of the
world's information is stored electronically. It makes sense then
that as an industry we rely on high-tech electronic protection
systems to guard that information. As a professional hacker, I get
paid to uncover weaknesses in those systems and exploit them.
Whether breaking into buildings or slipping past industrial-grade
firewalls, my goal has always been the same: extract the
informational secrets using any means necessary. After hundreds of
jobs, I discovered the secret to bypassing every conceivable
high-tech security system. This book reveals those secrets, and as
the title suggests, it has nothing to do with high technology. As
it turns out, the secret isn't much of a secret at all. Hackers
have known about these techniques for years. Presented in a light,
accessible style, you'll get to ride shotgun with the authors on
successful real-world break-ins as they share photos, videos and
stories that prove how vulnerable the high-tech world is to no-tech
attacks.
As you browse this book, you'll hear old familiar terms like
"dumpster diving," "social engineering," and "shoulder surfing."
Some of these terms have drifted into obscurity to the point of
becoming industry folklore; the tactics of the pre-dawn information
age. But make no mistake; these and other old-school tactics work
with amazing effectiveness today. In fact, there's a very good
chance that someone in your organization will fall victim to one or
more of these attacks this year. Will they be ready?
-Dumpster Diving
Be a good sport and don't read the two "D" words written in big
boldletters above, and act surprised when I tell you hackers can
accomplish this without relying on a single bit of technology
(punny).
-Tailgating
Hackers and ninja both like wearing black, and they do share the
ability to slip inside a building and blend with the shadows.
-Shoulder Surfing
If you like having a screen on your laptop so you can see what
you're working on, don't read this chapter.
-Physical Security
Locks are serious business and lock technicians are true engineers,
most backed with years of hands-on experience. But what happens
when you take the age-old respected profession of the locksmith and
sprinkle it with hacker ingenuity?
-Social Engineering with Jack Wiles
Jack has trained hundreds of federal agents, corporate attorneys,
CEOs and internal auditors on computer crime and security-related
topics. His unforgettable presentations are filled with three
decades of personal "war stories" from the trenches of Information
Security and Physical Security.
-Google Hacking
A hacker doesn't even need his own computer to do the necessary
research. If he can make it to a public library, Kinko's or
Internet cafe, he can use Google to process all that data into
something useful.
-P2P Hacking
Let's assume a guy has no budget, no commercial hacking software,
no support from organized crime and no fancy gear. With all those
restrictions, is this guy still a threat to you? Have a look at
this chapter and judge for yourself.
-People Watching
Skilled people watchers can learn a whole lot in just a few quick
glances. In this chapter we'll take a look at a few examples of the
types of things that draws a no-tech hacker's eye.
-Kiosks
Whathappens when a kiosk is more than a kiosk? What happens when
the kiosk holds airline passenger information? What if the kiosk
holds confidential patient information? What if the kiosk holds
cash?
-Vehicle Surveillance
Most people don't realize that some of the most thrilling vehicular
espionage happens when the cars aren't moving at all!
No one knows the story behind the sensational headlines of the
Scott Peterson murder trial better than defense attorney Matt
Dalton. For six straight months after Peterson's arrest, Dalton was
the defense's only full-time investigative attorney on the case.
During that time, he lived in Modesto and investigated every
element of the case, interviewing scores of witnesses, reviewing
more than 35,000 pages of police documents, and meeting almost
daily with Scott Peterson in jail.
What he has uncovered will astound even the most informed
observers of the Laci Peterson murder case and challenge the most
deeply held beliefs about what really happened to Laci Peterson on
Christmas Eve, 2002.
This is the first book to go inside the Peterson defense team,
and the only book to detail all the evidence that the jury did not
hear -- evidence that might have led to Scott Peterson's acquittal,
and that will surely play a crucial part in his pending
appeals.
Among the revelations in "Presumed Guilty": Reports from
numerous witnesses who saw Laci Peterson alive and well the morning
of December 24, after the police claim Scott Peterson had already
killed her; none of them testified at trial The story of another
woman, eight months pregnant, who was harassed by two men the
morning of December 24 only five blocks from the Peterson home The
burglary that reportedly occurred directly across the street from
the Peterson home on the morning of December 24, and the confessed
burglars' questionable claims that the burglary happened days later
Previously unreported details of the autopsy reports on Laci
Peterson and her son, which cast strong doubts on key elements of
the prosecution's case Thedisappearances of six pregnant women, in
addition to Laci, reported missing and presumed dead within eighty
miles of Modesto between 1999 and 2002
Compelling, provocative, disturbing, "Presumed Guilty" is the
fascinating story of one lawyer's relentless efforts to find the
truth behind one of the most complex and notorious murder cases in
American history.
Crime investigation is not always a matter of gathering hard
evidence. Just as police officers sometimes follow a "hunch",
people with psychic abilities have often supplied invaluable leads
to help crack the most baffling cases. Through dreams, visions,
telepathy, and a host of other means, psychics have also predicted
and tried to prevent many serious crimes. Psychic Detectives allows
you to enter their world, revealing their astounding experiences
and the often heavy price they pay for sharing what they know.
Police agencies are generally reluctant to admit to the use of
psychics during or even after the completion of an investigation
for fear of ridicule from the public and other members of the law
enforcement community. Despite this, psychics have often become
involved in a large number of highly publicised investigations into
serial murders conducted over the last 20 years or more. Featured
cases include: the Kennedy assassinations * Jack the Ripper *
Charles Manson murders * Uri Geller's diamond find * David
Berkowitz ("Son of Sam") * Los Angeles Olympic Games bombing *
Moors murders * Peter Sutcliffe ("The Yorkshire Ripper") * IRA
bombing, Manchester * disappearance of Lord Lucan * Patty Hearst
kidnapping * and many more ...
If The West Falls
"If the West Falls" is the result of four years of research that
began when the author learned that she was a target of US
Government sponsored Organized Vigilante Stalking. Her
investigation into the crime that had been committed against her
led her to an understanding of the crime that is being committed by
the United States government against the people of this nation and
the rest of the world. The author's investigation reveals
The presence of a fascist underground controlling the life of
this nation and the lives of American people
The plans of secret societies such as the Bilderbergers, the
Trilateral Commission and the Council of Foreign relations to
dissolve the national sovereignty of the United States of
America
The influence of the occult in public institutions and the
American Christian Church
Crimes being committed by US governing officials being covered
up by the National Security Act including the exploitation of
children
Exploitation of American citizens and people around the world
under the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act
