How to Use the CD

The CD that comes with Anti-Hacker Tool Kit, Third Edition contains

• Over 55 of the top security tools ready to install on your computer
• Plus live links to the web sites where you can access the latest versions of all the security tools mentioned in the book

Getting Started

The CD-ROM is optimized to run under Windows 95/98/NT/2000/2003/XP using Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader already installed on your computer, go to http://www.adobe.com and you will be directed to download the correct version for your OS. If you do not have access to the Internet, Acrobat reader installers are located in the Install directory on the CD. To install the tools on your computer, insert the CD into your CD disc drive. In most cases, a setup program will start automatically. (It may take a few moments for the opening windows to appear on your screen. If the indicator light is flashing on your CD drive, the program is still loading.)

You may also run the CD in Unix or on the Mac. Please see more detailed instructions below. Your right to use the product is governed by the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement.

Note

Some of the tools available for download from the CD fall under the GNU General Public License. For your convenience, we have included the GNU General Public License on the CD-ROM as well as in the back of the book. Please review it carefully.

Windows 95/98/NT/2000/2003/XP

The CD will start automatically when you insert the CD in the drive. If the program does not start automatically, your system may not be set up to automatically detect CDs. You can start the program as follows: double-click the My Computer icon on the Windows Desktop. When the My Computer window opens, double-click the icon for your CD drive. The program should start. If it doesn't, you should now see a list of the contents of the CD. Look for the file named start or start.exe. Double-click this file to start the program.

If you do not have the latest version of Adobe Reader on your desktop, you may receive an error message that reads, "There was an error opening this document. The device is not ready." If you get this message, press the Okay button. You may receive another message that states, "Adobe PDF documents on the Web can be viewed inside Netscape and Internet Explorer. However, this feature is currently disabled, and PDF documents on the Web will open in a separate Window. Would you like to enable this feature so you can view PDF documents in Netscape or Internet Explorer?" Click the Yes button and you should be directed to the main page.

If you prefer, you can run the contents of the CD from your hard drive without having to use the CD. To do so, right-click the CD drive, select Open, and copy the book folder to your hard drive. Once this is done, you can start the program by opening the book folder and double-clicking the file named cover or cover.pdf. This will automatically start the associated Acrobat Reader application provided it has been installed on the system. For convenience, you can create a shortcut to the cover file and place it on your Desktop. You will then be able to start the program by clicking on the shortcut.

Windows 3.1

For Windows 3.1 users, you must use Acrobat Reader version 3.0. You can run the program from your CD or you can install it on your hard drive. To install it, copy the book folder to your hard drive and then install Acrobat Reader 3.0 for Windows. Then, to run the program, open the book folder and double-click the cover.pdf file.

Macintosh

You must be running in Mac OS version 7.1.2 or higher. Start the program by double-clicking the Start icon. If you prefer, you can run the program from your hard drive without having to use the CD. To do so, copy the files to your hard drive and install Acrobat Reader. (Note: You must do this if you are using a 68K Macintosh.) Users of OS X versions 10.2.2 through 10.2.7 will have to manually open the Tools directory to access the individual applications.

Unix

Go to http://www.adobe.com to locate Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux/Unix platforms. To install the program, copy the contents of the CD to your hard drive. Then install the appropriate version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. You may then search the tools from your hard drive by clicking the PDF name or browsing the Tools directory.

Tools on the CD

When you go to the PDF with the list of Tools on the CD, you can download each tool by clicking the Tool name; this will take you directly to the Tool directory on the CD so you can save the tool on your computer. For your convenience, we have also included the links to each of the web sites where you can find updates and new versions that may be available for each tool. Please note that these are the latest links as of the publication of the book.

Links to Additional Tools

We have provided links to the additional tools discussed in the book that are not available for download on the CD. The list of tools on the CD and the list of additional tools together comprise all of the tools discussed in the book.
