Palo Alto Networks has created a "Cyber Canon"; a list of computer and
network security books that are "must-reads" for the professional.

https://cybercanon.paloaltonetworks.com/

Most of these are non-fiction, but some fictional works are included,
like Neal Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon", and one of Steve's favorites,
"Daemon" and "Freedom (TM)".

I thought I was well-read in this area (I'm a "book person"), but when
I clicked on the "Hall of Fame" filter, I'd only read 4 out of the 11
listed.

This should help keep you busy during the pandemic, and tune up your
skills at the same time.

Thank you Ogg for the list. My hobby these days seems to be collecting book lists, one day I hope to have the time to read!

I spotted a couple of bloggers I follow, Bruce Schneier and Brian Krebs, any other authors with good blogs?

Thank you Ogg for the list. My hobby these days seems to be collecting book
lists, one day I hope to have the time to read!

I wasn't surprised to see Clifford Stoll's book Cuckoos Egg on the list.
It reads like fast-paced thriller. Stoll pioneered many of the first
methods of tracking hackers. So, it you say you don't have time to read, Stoll's book might convince you to make time. ;)

I discovered Schneier's fine blog only recently.

Krebs' blog is another good one, thanks. I remember seeing the name
attached to the book "Spam Nation". In it he says.. "Not only are
hundreds of thousands ... exposing themselves to fraud ... but even those
who never open junk messages are at risk."

His post "23 Apr 20, When in Doubt: Hang Up, Look Up, & Call Back" ..is an incredible story. Phone number spoofing seems to be a popular tool for spammers.

I've read that one several times. I consider it time well spent.
