One indicator of the extent of the problem is the massive figure
of spam pervasive the Internet. Piece you may think spam is a several
problem to security, they're closely related. Here's how
Most spam is distributed through hundreds of millions of PCs closely-held
by unsuspecting folk just like you. Their computers have been
"enslaved" by a knave program wholly unknown
to the owner/operators of the computer. This know-how
of spam dissemination
conceals the true spam conceiver from the eyes of any authorities.
The hundreds of millions of owners of those hundreds of millions
of compromised PCs have no clue that they are accomplices in one
of the great scourges of the modern era.
It's no exaggeration to talk in terms of millions,
tens of millions or even as hundreds of millions of computers. Cipher
knows exactly how galore Computer network users there are worldwide, but surely
in excess of a billion (a thousand million) and probably closer
to two billion.
But being an unwitting sender is not the worst of it for the user
of an infected PC. You see, bots can steal from a PC just as easily
as they can use it for spamming.
The modern cyber-crim doesn't break into a PC so he can bring mayhem
with mindless destructiondeleting files, departure disgustful
messages, causing your browser to sexy
websites, inundating
you with "adult" pop-ups, etc.
Sure, all of that happens too, and vindictive "script-kiddies"
are as active as ever, but today's real cyber-crim is more smarter
than that. His goal is to do money.
Data that is purloined without the owner's cognition is more much
valuable, because it can be monetized before the rightful owner
can take preventative measures, such as ever-changing passwords or canceling
credit cards.
Another indicator of malicious intrusion is degraded performance.
There can be several reasons why a computer appears to be running
more slower than it used to, or is prone to lockups and crashes.
Really high on the list of reasons is that it has been compromised
in several way.
We've seen PC owners about dumb at how
their computers have become "like new again" after
a thorough housework and clean-out of malware.
OK, so the dangers are real and very, really prevalent. And if you
are running an unprotected PC connected to the Internet, you probably
already have at least several problems.
So what's the answer?
My
name is Bill Hely and I assembled my
1st computer in a plyboard case about 30 years ago, long before
there was any such thing as a "PC".
That was a long time ago, but it was the beginning of a fascination
with information technology that I turned into a long and booming
career.
For over two decades I have been an in-demand freelance IT adviser
to the small business community. Now I limit my 1-on-1 consulting
activity to safety and the Internet, and to a small, choice group
of long-term clients.
But I have distilled those decades of experience into a really special
resource ... one that I want to share with every computer user who
understands the need for protection and vigilance.
My main interest now is in creating, maintaining and supporting
educational materials for the folk who need help the most. They
are the individuals and small business operators who don't have
the luxury of on-tap computer keep staff.
In recent years I have translated my cognition and experience into
several really special eBooks. Several would-be classify them as "technical"
books, but in fact they are quite the opposite.
My goal is to do important technical topics apprehensible to
the non-technical reader, so in that context I guess you could call
them "non-technical books". I'm proud to say they have
been praised by all types from beginners to experts and IT professionals.
You'll find comments from several of them below.
My better acknowledged book by far is The Hacker's Nightmare.
It has been repeatedly increased
and updated since mid 2003, and
is now undisputed as the #1 plain-language instructions to computer and
Computer network security.
When I was researching and writing The Hacker's Nightmare
I was determined that there would-be be galore individual chapters that
alone would-be be worth the cost of the whole book. Based on feedback
from my readers I'm confident that I have achieved that aim. See
several of the testimonials for yourself.
Real folk just like you, resolution really real problems and protective
themselves from the threats of the Internet.
The Hacker's Nightmare shows you, in simple jargon-free
terminology, how to...
- Root out malware that has already taken
up residence in your PC
- Securely block the pathways hackers
can use to gain access to your data
- Protect against futurity attacks and
infestations
- Recognize the tricks of the spammers,
scammers and eavesdroppers
- Keep prying eyes away from your sensitive
documents
And that's just a frs of the cognition you'll gain from
this landmark work.
What you discover here could save your personal life or your business
from embarrassment, disabling losses, possibly prosecution, even as
loss of your identity or your business.
In recent years, as the Computer network became an integral part of business
operations, I have been called upon more and more often to rescue
what could be saved from the part of black eventsdisastrous
to precious data and equally precious time.
My involvement with galore several businesses, in many
locations
& over a long period of time, has led me to an ineluctable conclusion:
Small business management and stafffrom the Big Boss
on downare deplorably uneducated in even as the basics of computer
and Computer network security.
And that goes double for the average house computer user.
Please don't take offenseI'm not egg laying blame on you personally.
For years the media and self-proclaimed experts have been telling
you how "hard" and how "complex" it all is.
Thanks to years of information we've got all these folk out
there operational under the possibly
black delusion that installation
an anti-virus program is "protection".
Take just 5 minutes...
... to see the rest of this page, piece I explain several important
facts of life just about data security, the Internet, your home/office
computersmaybe even as the continuing
existence of your business,
or the integrity of your identity.
Once you become aware of the true facts, I look forward to portion
you guard against the hackers, worms and another 'germs' that threaten
your time, your computers, your profitability, your dataeven
your really livelihood.
Taking at least several preventative s in an unplanned, piecemeal
fashion is better than taking no s at all. But you will shortly
discover such an approach is at better a case of two steps forward
and one backwards. The attacks will ne'er
cease and, with an unplanned
"plug 'n pray" approach, the holes will always be there.
Contrary to popular belief, PC and Computer network security
is not all that difficult. It just inevitably to be done right.
The Hacker's Nightmare is more much than an instructions
manual. It is besides an education in developing a safety mentality ...
and it is just about giving YOU the power to take back control of your
own welfare, safety and peace-of-mind, without any significant
expense.
It is just about effectively addressing your delusions and correcting
your content of the real facts, without the need for technical
expertise, consultants or big-ticket products and services.
Some cheap safety software system is necessarythat's just
common sense. But I give you all of the what, when, where, why and
how to do the right decisions at minimum cost.
The Hacker's Nightmare
distills everything of importance
that I have knowing over galore years just about how to
PREVENT disasters, instead of just
how to *attempt* to clear up after the damage is done.
These strategies have been proved to activity time and once again and have
become a valuable resource for computer users all over the world.
This is the stuff your big-ticket adviser won't teach you.
I'll show youin simple, non-jargon termshow to take
all necessary preventative ss without resorting to outside
experts or big-ticket suites of software.
In case you've been living in a cave for several time, here's a brief
summary of just several of the threats that are hammer computer
usersboth businesses and privateevery hour of every
day:
- Viruses, worms and trojans waste hours of
your time protective
against them and cleansing up after them.
And how nice a "cleanup" job are you actually doing
anyway?
- Spyware gathers information just about your browsing
& online habits, or even as personal information such as passwords
and account numbers, and sends it off to "interested parties".
- "Script kiddies" steal thing
of s and trash the rest.
- Identity thieves can empty your bank accounts,
max out your credit cards, and grab sensitive information from
your eMails. Identity larceny is one of the quickest
growing crimes,
several online and off.
- Spam is a massive annoyance and time waster
and often conceals more insidious threats.
- Keyloggers can record every keystroke you
type at a keyboard, and pass that mother-lode of information
on to anyone. Much and more often these days the lucky
recipient of your private information will be a professional
criminal.
- "Dumpster divers" can rat through
your rubbish bins for clues to passwords, account numbers, identity
information, etc. You'd be astonied how an extensive profile can
be built upbit by bitfrom apparently innocuous bits
of rubbish found in about everyone's trash.
- If you're in business, hackers/crackers seek
commercially sensitive information they can sell to your competitors
or otherwise use against you.
And that's just a few of the more common threats. Attacks, several
crude and sophisticated, several damaging, others just invasive, striking
without warning and from galore several directions, several online
and off.
It is the small business owner and the average house computer user
who suffers most from these malicious attacks.
- The authorities and
"watchdog" agencies can't protect you against a menace
that crosses national boundaries.
- There are no effective
cyber-police you can call on.
- Your antivirus program
is just not enough any more (even if you do choose the right
one, which most folk don't cognize how to do).
Yes, it's a tough, complex, unforgiving, even as malicious earth out
there in Internet-land, but there's no need to despair. You are
NOT helpless! You can now discover, step-by-simple-step, how to
keep the hackers, worms and another "germs" out of your
PC and out of your life . . . once and for all!
Even if you aren't a "techie" you now have a way to arm
yourself against threats to your computer and the personal information
it contains. You can do it without learning a lot of technical detail
and without disbursement a lot of your hard-earned money.
In fact, several of the better defense tools can be had wholly free
of charge, and none of the commercial protective software system you'll
need is expensive, with several cheap as $10. You just need to cognize
what they are, wherever
to get them, the strengths and limitations
of each, and how to apply them.
In another words, you just need the right information and several abreast of
guidance. There is a big difference between, for example, an
anti-spyware package and the right anti-spyware package
a Really big difference!
You besides need to know...
- What the threats are (there are galore more
than you mightiness think).
- Why each threat or vulnerability is a danger
to you and how each can be used against you
- What specialist measures are suitable to
block each one and which is the better to use.
- Wherever
to get the necessary protection.
- How to apply that protection for the better
results.
- How to keep your safety up-to-date without
disbursement a lot of time on it.
The Hacker's Nightmare will transform
YOU
from an easy mark into a hard target.
It will turn YOU into a hacker's and virus writer's Worst Nightmare!
You'll get wise to the cyber-grub's favorite spoiler tricks, and
how to protect yourself against them. Here is just a partial list
of what is covered:
- About 500 "easy reading" pages,
broken up into logical sections and assimilable chapters.
- Clean and explicit explanations, recommendations
and instructions, always bestowed in a logical, step-by-step
sequence, exploitation apprehensible language, that leave nothing
to guesswork.
- Hundreds of images, diagrams and screen shots
to diagrammatically
illustrate important steps and concepts.
- You'll discover the What, Where, Why and How
you need to protect your house and office computers, without
the need for any advanced technical expertise.
- You'll get exclusive and perpetual access
to the Private Members Pages of The Hacker's Nightmare
website, wherever
new features, special bonuses, discounts and
updates are ready-made accessible to members only.
- How to well reduceeven eliminatethe
chance of intrusion, data larceny or damage.
And much, more more.
Knowledge is power, and it's always what you don't cognize that can
hurt you the most. Unluckily really few business owners and managers
have any real "security awareness" of the extent of their
exposure to danger.
You wouldn't leave the final decisions to a adviser or worker
in any another critical area of your business; yet you think you have
no choice once
it comes to computer technology.
"But I'm a manager/ office worker/salesperson.
Isn't this book more for the technical people?"
Definitely not!
Many managers, even as those with IT staff or consultants on call,
have used The Hacker's Nightmare as an executive overviewthey
absorb the discussion sections and skip the practical instructions.
They discover the questions they should be asking of their "computer
person", and the instructions to give them, then leave it to
the tech-types to implement the actual blocks, patches, fixes and
preventative measures.
You can be in full control of your computing resources without
becoming a "computer expert". But if you want or need
to be hands-on yourself, everything you need is right there in The
Hacker's Nightmare, and you'll be amazed at how little
technical expertness you'll need to secure your systems.
Slash expenditure on external consultants...
A computer user educated in the route of the cyber-grubs does
fewer mistakes and is far less likely to be responsible for an accidental
safety breach.
The fewer mistakes made, the less often you have to call on the
services of an big-ticket adviser to clear up. The cost of professional
services is a big imposition on the small business. And unfortunately,
not even as all IT professionals are as "security competent"
as you mightiness imagine.
You won't be damaging your relationship with existing IT service
folk either.
From my galore years as a adviser I can assure you that most
genuine IT contractors would-be more rather be portion you improve
your procedures and systems than just "mopping up" all
the time.
Some of our business clients purchase a copy of The Hacker's
Nightmare for every worker
who uses a computer. Several
even as do "signing off" that they have see the book a
condition of employment for all staff members who use computers.
This policy has much
eliminated safety issues due to
"user error" and has saved those companies galore thousands
of dollars.
Well reduce or eliminate system crashes and slowdowns...
One of the major reasons for frequent crashes and deceleration down
of computers is the presence of software system of an undesirable naturei.e.
malware. Most often it takes the form of spyware which has been
loaded into your computer via eMail or web browsing.
The intention of most spyware is to watch and record your online
activities and report back to its "master". The information
transmitted may just be used to improve their ability to sell to
you, or it may be used for more much damaging purposes.
The most dangerous type of spyware is designed to mine all manner
of sensitive information from your PC and transmit it to cyber-crims
who will have no scruples or regard for your privacy. They will
use any information accessible to profit from you by theft, impersonation,
blackmail, identity impersonation, and so on.
Far too galore folk take no s until their computer is infected,
then waste time searching for information on how to recover from
a particular threat, but it's TOO LATE THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN
DONE. The Hacker's Nightmare provides you with effective
techniques to prevent all such intrusions in the 1st place.
Finish worrying just about the safety of your data and concentrate on
building your business...
If you have ever lost critical data files in the past, you may
already be a little paranoid just about backing up, taking copies, etc.
That's fine. Galore businesses that suffer a major data loss ne'er
recover.
But have you ever taken a moment to calculate how more time is
spent just on backing up, restoring, copying, archiving, etc.?
Yes, it's importantvery importantbut most small businesses
that do implement such safeguards besides spend far more time than
they actually need to on these necessary but unproductive tasks.
There are better route to safeguard against loss in the 1st place,
and quicker
route to recover once
an accident does happen.

Nightmare:
