A revised second edition of Steal This Computer Book, written to help readers protect themselves from computer viruses and malicious hackers. It explains how hackers write and spread viruses, hide their identities and shred their files, crack into computers or steal software, how to fight back against spammers, and how to tell when a machine is being attacked. Chapters cover search engines, alternative news sources, online censorship, hate groups and where hackers gather, plus a glossary and a hacker's gallery of programs. The book was originally issued with a CD-ROM of programs; the CD-ROM is not included with this copy.
