	LWN: No Starch Press to Release "Silence on the Wire"
		In "Silence on the Wire: A Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks," Zalewski shares his expertise and experience to explain how computers and networks work, how information is processed and delivered, and what security threats lurk in the shadows.
		More narrative than reference book, "Silence on the Wire" follows the path of a piece of information, from the moment the user's hands touch the keyboard to the instant when it is received by a remote party on the other end of the wire.
		Silence on the Wire: A Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks by Michal Zalewski February 2005, 320 pp., $39.95, ISBN 1-59327-046-1 Available at fine bookstores everywhere, from www.oreilly.com/nostarch, or directly from No Starch Press (www.nostarch.com, orders@nostarch.com, 800.420.7240).

	A tribute to Silence on the Wire
		Silence on the Wire (A Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks) is Michal Zalewski's first book.
		Silence on the Wire is unique in many aspects, but two stand out: First, it provides in-depth coverage of almost all essential stages of data processing that enable today's "internetworking" - from a keypress to the intended end result of that keypress.
		Silence on the Wire may be purchased from Amazon, as well as from other major bookstores.

	WatchGuard Wire: RSS Feed \| WatchGuard Technologies, Inc.
		In Silence on the Wire, Zalewski, a self-educated and well-regarded security researcher, unveils many obscure, complex security problems built right into today's networking and computing technology.
		In a refreshing departure from most technical books, Zalewski lightens Silence on the Wire's sometimes abstruse technical content with anecdotes and insightful histories on the different subjects he covers.
		Silence demonstrates how to look at things in a new light and find connections that aren't immediately obvious: not only thinking outside the box, but twisting the box, shaking it, and finding a way to exploit it.

		IT security common sense tells people that are defending their systems to always identify the attacker, where the 'attack' is intended as a vertical and treacherous action for breaking up the system's protections.
		The 'silence', cited in the title, is the metaphor in which data are read or monitored without asking permission before, and out of the system administrator's sight.

	The Security Nerd: Book review: Silence on the Wire
		Silence on the Wire examines the fundamental limits of computer security, pointing out a universe of subliminal channels which inevitably leak information from every networked computer.
		For example, we like to think that a failed login is a no-op, but the client comes away knowing how long the authentication attempt took (which may be a clue to whether the user ID exists) and the server can learn some characteristics of the client's TCP/IP stack.
		Cambridge's Markus Kuhn proposed a passive eavesdropping attack which is totally in the spirit of Silence on the Wire, and could even have been dropped straight into the chapter about watching blinking lights.

		Hopefully, most people fall between those two opposites and with that, Silence on the Wire: A Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks is an fascinating book on knowing when to be suspicious and when to be complacent.
		Silence on the Wire makes you think about serious security problems that you never thought of before, or were even aware existed.

	Larry Osterman's WebLog : Book Review: Silence on the Wire
		I have a fair amount of respect for Michal as a security researcher, he's done some realy interesting stuff, so I was looking forward to reading it (I have no idea where Valorie found it, I didn't even realize the book existed).
		"Silence on the Wire" describes itself as "a Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks" (I know that because it's on the front cover of the book).
		I agree with you that it could have stood as well without the brief technical primers scattered throughout it (the blinkenlights chapter could have been a lot shorter without the history of the modem).

	Silence on the Wire: A Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks
		Recently the eccentric security researcher Michal Zalewski published his first book, entitled Silence on the Wire: A Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks.
		Silence on the Wire is a fairly unusual guide to the world of computer security.
		If there is a software engineer, a system administrator, or a security professional who, after reading SotW, puts a bit more thought and insight in their work, that's good news--we may be preventing new classes of exploits and attacks of tomorrow.

		Silence on the Wire is, nominally, about network security.
		Early on for example, the author spends several pages explaining how to build up a computer processor (in wood, should one desire) in order to explain a series of ingenious ways of recovering information, such as code keys, by looking at how long processing them takes.
		Michal Zalewski's love for this strange world of background noise and broken messages is self evident, and his wit and humour lend the book a relaxed air.

	Duffbert's Random Musings
		The subtitle of this book is "a field guide to passive reconnaissance and indirect attacks", and that gives you a pretty good idea as to the direction that Zalewski is going with his information.
		While most security books deal with active attacks designed to either take over your system or crash it, Silence is more concerned with how you may be inadvertently giving up more information than you think.
		While looking for some interesting read for the summer, I■ve stumbled across a book written by Michal Zalewski named ■Silence on the wire: a field guide to passive reconnaissance and indirect attacks■, from No Starch Press.

		Michal Zalewski, also known as lcamtuf in the security community, is best known for being the author of p0f, a passive OS fingerprinting tool, and the researcher behind many vulnerabilities findings.
		Passive fingerprinting and reconnaissance is a technique that bases all its findings on what is received on the wire.
		No packets are generated at all, unlike more conventional scanning techniques (see nmap as an example of active scanning).

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Silence on the Wire, by Michal Zalewski, Paperback
		There are many ways that a potential attacker can interceptinformation, or learn more about the sender, as the information travels over a network.
		By taking an in-depth look at modern computing, from hardware on up, the book helps the system administrator to better understand security issues, and to approach networking from a new, more creative perspective.
		'Silence' is not a book about using the latest version of an IDS like Nessus, where you get tons of detail about all its abilities.

		Silence on the Wire: A Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks -- Groundbreaking security book goes beyond the norm to examine computer vulnerabilities
		WHO CARES?: More narrative than reference work, this book will be riveting reading for security professionals and students as well as technophiles interested in learning about how computer security fits into the big picture and high-level hackers seeking to broaden their understanding of their craft.
		Rather than approaching computer security as a separate discipline, Zalewski delves into the nuts and bolts of modern-day computing so that readers will ponder network design and their own computing activities from a new perspective.

		In today's column, we're going to take a look at a fascinating book entitled "Silence on the Wire: a Field Guide to Passive Reconnaissance and Indirect Attacks" by Michal Zalewski and published this year by No Starch Press.
		And this intense book will give you countless insights into how the technologies you work with every day were designed to work and how, given this design -- under normal or stressed conditions, they might divulge otherwise private information.
		This book is about a particular kind of vulnerability -- how information can be gained about a system by passively observing its activity "on the wire" or by coaxing it into being more forthcoming.
