RE: scary but true

["Lipski, Andrzej" <Andrzej.Lipski () bhs org>]

Take a look at the Hacker's Challenge books.  They are a little old.  I
think the first one came out in '01, and the more recent Hacker's Challenge
2 was published Dec of '02.  They are a very interesting read, and present
some real world events, and then asks the reader to provide the solutions.
They can then check their results against the those provided by the book.
Good enough to scare management, teach a thing or two to entry level network
engineers, and those who pay little attention to security.

You can find them at Amazon.

Does anyone know of a good source (book, website) of true case studies of
security incidents? I'd like to have some stories to relate to complacent
coworkers, clients, etc.
