Offering a counterpoint to the common view of hackers as criminals, 16-year-old Fadia encourages a new wave of helpful hackers who break into systems purely for the scientific challenge, leaving files and systems unscathed and offering security pointers to system administrators. The results of Fadia's experiments are published here, with step-by-step hacks for Windows, Linux, and DOS, and information on firewalls, viruses and mail bombs for hackers, programmers, system administrators or anyone interested in making their computer system more (or less) secure. Though young, Fadia is a hacking authority and is founder of Hacking Truths web site. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
