[Noisebridge-discuss] Network Connected Physical Security Vulnerabilities

[Miah Johnson]

If you are interested in physical security. I recommend checking out
"Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems"
(Ross Anderson, Wiley)

It covers computer security, but also things like metering,
electronic eavesdropping, physical tampering, drm, telecom. I think this is
a good book if you want a general overview of these fields. Its a good
starting place for those interested.

I believe there is a copy on the Noisebridge bookshelf.

The 1st edition is available online at:
