Cyber security is vital in the modern age of computers. Modern society, economy, and critical industrial infrastructures are greatly dependent on computer networks and other IT solutions. Mounting cyber attacks on them is both cheaper and less risky than attacks with armies and bombs. Military forces of the advanced nations and their computer wizards have turned the Internet into the battle arena of the future. A couple of keystrokes could bring electric power grids, dams, airlines and banking to a grinding halt. Hackers could steal vital data from even your personal computer sitting thousands of miles away or could take complete control of it—worse, they could use it to launch a malicious attack, the blame of which will fall on you!
This is not science fiction. The Stuxnet virus unleashed by America and Israel damaged nearly 1000 of Iranian centrifuges and set back their nuclear program by at least five years—all without firing a single shot! Cyber espionage malware like Duqu, Flame and Rocra have been quietly stealing secret information stored in computers of defence, aerospace, and nuclear industries and sensitive government offices.

Hitherto, the books on the subject had made it appear both unnecessarily complex and intimidating. This is the very first lucid exposition in the world that will make you really understand the subject of subject of cyber security, hacking and cyber warfare.
