Abstract

Eric Clamons says that when this project was begun they wondered why so little was written about computer penetration. At first they thought nobody wanted to hand a burglar his tools. But now they know: in the search for a new way to present the subject they discovered that whay applies to all systems is trival, and what is of depth applies only to a specific system. The first part of this paper does present successfully a not too trival generalization of methods of attack; later a continual battle between trivia and specifics can be seen. Can our readers do better?
