[KLUG Members] Meeting 2005-04-19 - Review of "Computer Security for the Home and Small Office"

[listserv at kalamazoolinux.org]

Eric Beversluis will discuss Thomas Greene's new book by this title.
Greene, who covers cybercrime and computer and network security for The
Register, an on-line journal (whose motto is "Biting the Hand that Feeds
IT"), presents a wide-ranging, practical treatment of his topic, leading
to his concluding chapter, "Trust Nothing, Fear Nothing." Constantly
lurking in the background and occasionally bursting to the foreground
are the visions of Orwell's _1984_ and Kafka's _The Trial_, as Greene
considers not only the risks from "script kiddies" and hackers, but also
from Big Business and Big Government. 

Our presenter:

Eric Beversluis, a former economics and philosophy professor, is vice
president of Resarchintegration.org, for which he does research and
computer projects.
