The ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN has long felt a strong hatred against the UNITED STATES (Little Satan) and SAUDI ARABIA.
Beginning in 2011 Iran’s hate spilled onto the Cyber front with two very well coordinated State Sponsored attacks. Attacks that left Saudi Arabia reeling and suffering tens of billions of dollars in lost production and revenue. These attacks also left the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE scrambling to defend against a potential disaster on the Cyber front.
Author J. Luis Rico leads the reader through the high wire Cyber world of State Sponsored attacks and retaliation. His expert attention to detail reveals exactly how these attacks occur and how they are defended against. Real world examples of SQL injection attacks, real world Active Directory database decryption exploits and lateral movement using dedicated and specialized hacker tools are accurately woven into the Cyber thriller.
This is a must read Cyber Thriller if you are an IT professional. It is a page turning education in how bad guys attack on the Cyber front; their methods, their tools and their process. It is also an exceptionally well written thriller that stands on its own separate from the IT practitioner audience.
