Honeypots: Tracking Hackers, by Lance Spitzner, Addison-Wesley Professional, 2002.
Lance Spitzner, a guiding light in the Honeynet Project, has produced a masterful summary of the current state of the art for "honeypots" - security systems whose value lies in their being probed, attacked or compromised. By distracting hackers from real targets and capturing their tactics, honeypots help make networks more secure.
Spitzner takes the reader on a tour of the history of honeypots, reviews the six major commercial and freeware products and outlines the steps involved in setting up a honeypot. He also includes a chapter covering the current legal status of this approach to security.
The writing style is a bit stilted and repetitive, but as a resource on honeypots, this book is a must-have.

A Better Browser
Antivirus software intercepts and scans e-mail file attachments at the point of entry, but files downloaded using a browser aren't scanned until after they're saved.
Secure IE, an Internet Explorer add-on from Boston-based Winferno Software, blocks access to those files until they've been scanned. It also makes defining security zones easier and can block ActiveX, Flash and pop-up windows. Pricing starts at $29.95 per seat; volume pricing of $15 to $20 per seat is available.
