[Rhodes22-list] elle, computer virus, and Summer reading list

[Hank]

The Cuckoo's egg was a very interesting book and is the first recorded use
of a honeypot network to entice a hacker.  Here is a link to it on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Cuckoos-Egg-Tracking-Computer-Espionage/dp/1416507787/sr=8-1/qid=1172754956/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-2331768-3508668?ie=UTF8&s=books

And here is a link to a Wikipedia article about it.

The book is very well written and easily understood and enjoyed by
non-techies.
