Title: An Absolute "Must-Read" for All interested in Computers
Product review: I read this book for my Information Networks and Networking class. Our instructor wanted to see how complex the cyber community is and how easy it is for someone to trapaise through the networks to explore databases and websites of others. And how easy it is to destroy the trust that is expected from everyone participating in that community. Cliff Stoll shows the potential danger of hackers. He also points out the advantages and disadvantages of not securing your systems. We are open books when we decide to participate on the Web, our privacy and safety are challenged.I found "The Cuckoo's Egg" to be a quick read and very informative. Since I am not a technical person, I found the language that Cliff Stoll used, to demystify the realm of computers, very easy to follow. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good spy/ mystery/ thriller and loves computers.
