Editorial Review:

What Does Google Know about You? And Who Are They Telling?

 

When you use Google’s “free” services, you pay, big time–with personal information about yourself. Google is making a fortune on what it knows about you…and you may be shocked by just how much Google does know. Googling Security is the first book to reveal how Google’s vast information stockpiles could be used against you or your business–and what you can do to protect yourself.

 

Unlike other books on Google hacking, this book covers information you disclose when using all of Google’s top applications, not just what savvy users can retrieve via Google’s search results. West Point computer science professor Greg Conti reveals the privacy implications of Gmail, Google Maps, Google Talk, Google Groups, Google Alerts, Google’s new mobile applications, and more. Drawing on his own advanced security research, Conti shows how Google’s databases can be used by others with bad intent, even if Google succeeds in its pledge of “don’t be evil.”

 

• Uncover the trail of informational “bread crumbs” you leave when you use Google search
• How Gmail could be used to track your personal network of friends, family, and acquaintances
• How Google’s map and location tools could disclose the locations of your home, employer, family and friends, travel plans, and intentions
• How the information stockpiles of Google and other online companies may be spilled, lost, taken, shared, or subpoenaed and later used for identity theft or even blackmail
• How the Google AdSense and DoubleClick advertising services could track you around the Web
• How to systematically reduce the personal information you expose or give away

 

This book is a wake-up call and a “how-to” self-defense manual: an indispensable resource for everyone, from private citizens to security professionals, who relies on Google.

Great CISSP Study Guide - Much Better then the first !!! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 7 people found this review helpful.

If you are thinking about taking the CISSP exam, I would highly recomend this book (and others as well). Think about it, why not read the book that is published by the ones who created & manage the test itself ? No brainer right ? This book is roughly 715 pages of reading and it is well put together. However, I stongly recomend that you also read the All-In-One CISSP by Shon Harris. You must keep in mind that the ISC CBK is written by multiple authors (each chapter is a different auther), so the melody of the book changes throughout. However, it is a great reference and should be included as your CISSP study guide.

Highly recomended !!

Also Read:

CISSP for Dummies
Take PLENTY of practice tests !!!!!!

Editorial Review:

This officially sanctioned resource is the best and most up-to-date study guide available for those seeking CISSP certification. Offering a compendium of information security topics, the book is detailed enough to also serve as an authoritative resource for those executives or organizational managers seeking to maintain or improve security measures. The book is packaged with a CD-ROM, which includes sample exams that simulate the actual exam, providing the same number and types of questions with the same allotment of time. It even grades the exam, provides correct answers, and identifies areas where more study is needed.
