Book Description

If you had your father's or mother's autobiography, wouldn't you consider it to be among your most prized possessions? While you may no longer be able to fill this particular void, you can ensure that your heirs will not suffer the same sort of loss. Everyone of us has a story to tell, yet, for various reasons, writing is so daunting a task that most people never get around to starting their memoirs—let alone finishing them. Well, today, thanks to the modern videotaping technology, this barrier to leaving one's memoir is gone. By videotaping your memoirs, you will give your loved ones the chance to see you as a real person during the various stages of your life and to learn about the significant events and changes of your life. Everyone's life's journey is unique, interesting, and important. Unfortunately, many of us hedge on this. "Oh, my life has been ordinary," we say. "There's nothing special about it." On the contrary, each person's life is too valuable to go unrecorded or to be forgotten. Your experiences are your own greatest treasure. Leaving your memoirs is a gift that only you can give, one that those close to you will treasure. One that will be cherished and passed down generation to generation. Remember, if you don't record the stories about the events of your life, no one will, and knowledge of these events will disappear for all time. Videotaping Your Memoirs, The Perfect Way to Preserve Your Family's History, the first book of its kind, is your guide to recording the times of your life. Let your memories lead the way! Learn how to: • Choose your equipment • Organize your thoughts • Enlist the help of others • Be at ease during your videotaping sessions • Use photos and other memorabilia to illustrate your video • Create a personal monologue • Include friends and family • Use scene and setting to add interest • Archive your tapes

This book has me trying new things!.......2005-08-11

I had never even imagined preserved lemons before, but I could not resist the picture in this book. With some lemons from a neighbor's tree, I made them. The pictures in this book are exquisite and inspiring. What I like best, however, is that the author has included recipes in which you can use your preserves. Too many books out there have recipes for the preserves only and leave you wondering how to use them if you never have before. This book is a must have for the beginning and the serious canner.

Fantastic recipes with a french twist........1999-05-03

This book made me want to run to the kitchen to start preparing fun jams, deserts, and more. The pictures are beautiful and perfectly support the text and recipes. This is the book to get if you're interested in getting excited about preserves.

Eye Candy.......2005-03-13

This is a slight bit different book. Suitable for display. Very pretty book!!!!!!! Different kinds of preserves, from the usual kinds you see.

Pleasant Eye-Candy.......2002-03-07

This book is basically pleasant eye-candy with nice pictures. However, the canning methods illustrated are outdated and potentially dangerous. For example, the book suggests creating a vacuum seal on jars by turning over the jars after filling. Since this method does not effectively seal out all potential contaminants, it is not perfectly safe! There are better reference books out there, most notably "Blue Ribbon Preserves" by Linda J. Amendt.

Ira Winkler, a former analyst with the National Security Agency, contends that American companies lose billions of dollars each year through preventable information leaks. In Corporate Espionage, he shows how much of it is pilfered by unremarkable efforts--looking at memos, sifting through trash, peeking on desktops, or simply asking for it--and provides some advice to stop it. Additional highlights include a variety of illuminating anecdotes and an enlightening look at international subterfuge.

Book Description

In just one day, Ira Winkler stole a billion dollars' worth of information from a leading corporation. Then he gave it back. That's his job. Companies pay him top dollar to expose the weaknesses of their own information security. This is how they learn from their mistakes. Now you can, too.

The Christian Science Monitor and USA Weekend have compared Mr. Winkler to a modern-day James Bond. The real-life case histories he shares here read like spy thrillers, but they serve a larger purpose: They uncover what you need to know to protect your documents and your company from prying eyes.

Learn how to bulletproof your business with the secrets from this former National Security Agency expert. If your company has anything of value, you can't afford to ignore the lessons in this fascinating book.

"The most comprehensive current work on corporate espionage available."

—Frank Biviano, Security Management

"Gives insight into the problems facing companies in today's electronic world and gives solutions to protecting your corporate information."

—James C. Settle, former head of the FBI's National Computer Crime Squad

"A good read for business people of all levels."

—Joseph C. Goulden, Washington Times

Recommended Reading for CI & Security Professionals.......2007-02-15

Ira Winkler does a superb job in illustrating methods of collecting 'business intelligence' on companies through the exploitation of basic human weaknesses and technical vulnerabilities. While some of the technical information contained within is now outdated, much of it is still relevant... not to mention the social engineering tactics covered.

The structure of "Corporate Espionage" is ideal, with Winkler discussing espionage concepts, followed by case studies and countermeasures. It almost reads like a manual, and an effective one at that. Winkler worked at NSA for 10 years ---where paranoia is a way of life--- so it is no surprise that he is good at what he does, and that he takes a very methodical approach to handling security issues.

Cut your security risks with effective countermeasures. .......2005-12-24

As the current Director of Technology for the National Computer Security Asociation and a former NSA agent (10+ years), Ira Winkler is 'the' individual to address this topic. According to resources such as the FBI, industrial espionage costs US corporations between 24 and 100 billion dollars every year.

This book divided into three sections.

Part one discusses basic espionage concepts and your companay's 'risk equation.' Spies don't care about the form in which the information they seek comes. It can be from a computer, formal or draft documents, scrap paper or internal correspondence. Aside from domestic spies, there are an estimated 100+ nations that are currently engaging in espionage against US companies. Risk level is determined by Threat x Vulnerability x Value / Countermeasures.

Part two contains case studies to show how a breach occurs. One study concerns William Geade and how he stole over a billion dollars worth of information from AMD and Intel. Another study includes the author himself, who hired in (under cover) as a temp at NCC in 1995. Within 2 days Mr. Winkler had compromised 28 of the 29 top development projects exposing many breach points.

Part three is titled 'What You Can Do' and goes over many effective countermeasures that you can employ right now. It is jam packed with many ideas, most of them simple, that will tighten your security. Countermeasures are broken down into four areas: Operations, Personell, Physical and Techincal.

Five Stars

Excellent.......2005-01-17

Corporate Espionage is a great book. Very interesting.

Winkler can be a bit melodramatic at times, but overall, Corporate Espionage is a great book.

Insider Threat, and Poor Management = Major Losses.......2000-04-08

Ira, a former National Security Agency professional, made a name for himself in his second career as a corporate electronic security specialist by using a combination of common sense and basic work-arounds to penetrate and download millions if not billions of dollars worth of corporate research and development-always at the company's request, and generally with astonishing results. From his antics as a "temp" hire gaining access within two days, to his more systematic attacks using all known vulnerabilities including factory-shipped system administrator passwords that were never changed, he has exposed in a very practical way the "naked emperor" status of corporate America.

Excellent!!.......1999-06-29

This is a book that i would recommend to all system admins and anyone who works with networks and computers. This guy is simply amazing, all it is, being shared experiences from his job. But the tips he gives are priceless... a little social engineering here a little hacking there...BUY this book if you are a cpu afficionado and want to learn even more and protect your systems.
