- Hi!
-
- My first introduction to Unix and Viruses in general was when I
- read Cliff Stoll's 'The Cuckoo's Egg'. I reccomend it to any and
- everyone who is interested in computer security. It was due to this book
- that I got interested in security and hats off to it. I loved the book
- and would never mind reading it again. The Internet worm and the story
- of Robert Morrison Jr. ( I think as far as I remember his father was the
- head of National Security at the time!!) is also covered in it.
