The latest issue of Linux Format has being pulled from the shelves of US bookselling giant Barnes & Noble because it contained a hacking how-to.
Issue 154 of Linux Format contained an article entitled ‘Learn to Hack,’ walking readers through the use of the Metasploit Framework exploitation toolkit to gain access to computer systems running a variety of operating systems. The article also covered password cracking, network sniffing, and man-in-the-middle attacks over encrypted protocols. But, importantly it also covered how best to protect your systems from the self-same attacks and concept often referred to as Ethical Hacking.
