Books for you

You can take courses and even get certified in disaster recovery management, also called
business continuity. The suggestions offered here just scrape the surface. However, the
following are some ideas to help you think out and plan for the day that no one wants to
come??”and how to survive and recover from it. The job you save may be your own.
. If at all possible, don??™t just shut the network down. If the attack has ended, you let
the attacker know you??™re on to him by yanking the cord. Give the security team a
chance to catch the perpetrator if he returns.
. Not everyone needs to know you??™ve been attacked. If the attack came from inside, it
wouldn??™t be a good idea to tell all the employees.
. Head over to http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/rootkit_hunter.html and pick up a copy
of the Rootkit Hunter. Rootkits are programs attackers leave behind so that they can
mess you up again. The programs are designed to hide themselves, but this application
can help you find them. The bad news is that if a rootkit is found, you have to
wipe the machine and start over.
