Infosec books

• Book: Enterprise Security For the Executive – https://eikonal.wordpress.com/2010/01/07/book-enterprise-security-for-the-executive/
• “Strategic Cyber Security” by Kenneth Geers (NATO; 2011) – http://www.ccdcoe.org/278.html [FREE: PDF, ePUB]
  The book argues that computer security has evolved from a technical discipline to a strategic concept. The world’s growing dependence on a powerful but vulnerable Internet – combined with the disruptive capabilities of cyber attackers – now threatens national and international security.
  
  Strategic challenges require strategic solutions. The author examines four nation-state approaches to cyber attack mitigation:
  • Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
  • Sun Tzu’s Art of War
  • Cyber attack deterrence
  • Cyber arms control

  The four threat mitigation strategies fall into several categories. IPv6 is a technical solution. Art of War is military. The third and fourth strategies are hybrid: deterrence is a mix of military and political considerations; arms control is a political/technical approach.
  
  The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) is used to place the key research concepts into an influence matrix. DEMATEL analysis demonstrates that IPv6 is currently the most likely of the four examined strategies to improve a nation’s cyber defence posture.
  
  There are two primary reasons why IPv6 scores well in this research. First, as a technology, IPv6 is more resistant to outside influence than the other proposed strategies, particularly deterrence and arms control, which should make it a more reliable investment. Second, IPv6 addresses the most significant advantage of cyber attackers today – anonymity.

It would be nice to be able to cross-pollinate these two books into one useful tome.
	“Network Security Hacks: Tips & Tools for Protecting Your Privacy” by Andrew Lockhart et al.; O’Reilly; 1st ed 2004.04, 2nd ed 2006.11; ISBN 10: 0-596-52763-2, ISBN 13: 978-0-596-52763-1. 1st edition: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596006433/ 2nd edition: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596527631/ Amazon – http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596527632/ Recommended: Very good guide to hardening of common network/server platforms, both the first and the second editions.

I wish I can get the plain text of that book and annotate it with all the notes and new tools that appeared since publication.
	“Web Security Testing Cookbook: Systematic Techniques to Find Problems Fast” by Paco Hope, Ben Walther Amazon – http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596514832/ Book has several chapters on interesting tools, but overall it is not going into sufficient depth in any of its subjects.

Impressive in volume, book is very informative on the history and the problem solving (aka “hacking”) mindset. However, I have found hard to read majority of included articles – they impressed me as a mixture of Gibson’s cyber-punk and of puerile boasting. I do not recommend this book.

Book: “Alternate Realities: Mathematical Models of Nature and Man”

“Alternate Realities: Mathematical Models of Nature and Man” by John L. Casti

Recently I have re-read this book 15 years after the first reading. It covers various topics from definition of complexity (as a measure of surprise/difference between the anticipated and real outputs of the system), building mathematical model generating predetermined series of outputs, introduction to theory of catastrophes, cellular automata, etc.

Book: Linear Structures

“Linear Structures” (Charles Griffin Series-Griffin’s Statistical Monographs, No 42) by Jan R. Magnus

• List Price: $60.00
• Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/019520655X/
• ISBN-10: 019520655X, ISBN-13: 978-0195206555

Impressive book on the generalized matrix inverses and so called L(linear) structures. I wish I had access to this book much earlier, it sheds the light on various questions/problems I have been working through last 20+ years. It is an absolutely recommendable book.
