6.  Hacking and Cracking

   Hacking is skillful programming.  Cracking is breaking and entering.
   If you don't know the difference, read the first two books below.  If
   you don't think it matters, read the last book below, which examines
   how law enforcement agencies confused about computers and networks
   did some very strange things.

      today.

               0-385-24946-2 (alk. paper).

      A spy novel, except it's true: a first person account by a down-
      on-his-luck Berkeley astronomer who with others tracked down a KGB
      network spy.  Despite its necessary concentration on cracking,
      still a readable introduction to what the Internet is about.

      authors is the New York Times reporter who broke the Stoll story
      to the public.

      Denning:

      described in the previous two books.  Includes Stoll's original
      article about the Wiley Hacker, and responses and articles by
      others on the same subject.  Has extensive coverage of the 1988
      Internet Worm.  Also includes information on viruses.  Has quite a
      bit of material on the cultures of the networks, and on social,
      legal, and ethical matters.  Starts with the standard historical
      network papers, including "Notable Computer Networks" by
      Quarterman and Hoskins.

      computer crime, and of the issues involved, written by one of the
      science fiction writers who invented cyberpunk.  The real story
