The Americanization of C.F.G. Meyer: From Rags to Riches

Book Description

Since 1970 Australian film has enjoyed a revival. This book contains detailed critiques of the key films of this period and uses them to illustrate the recent theories on the international and the local cinema industries. Taking as its starting point Bazin's question "What is cinema?" author Tom O'Regan asks what the construct of a "national" cinema means, and looks at the broader concept from a different angle, taking film beyond the confines of "art" and into the broader cultural world. Situating Australian cinema in its historical and cultural perspective, Australian National Cinema provides valuable insight into the issues that have been raised by film policy, the cinema marketplace, and informed discourse on film production strategies.

The Best in its Field.......2003-06-12

This is the one book I require students to buy for my graduate seminar on Australian Film and History because it is simply the most thoughtful, ambitious and informed book on the cultural and political significance of the Australian film industry. It is also a valuable work for anyone interested in national cinemas and their relation to Hollywood.

Book Description

Lewis introduces Australian films from the 1920's and 30's and then focuses on thirty films produced between 1975 and 1987. He suggests that part of the reason for Australia's film success may lie in America's identification with a simpler culture and the portrayal of "wild west" type territory which is often found in Australian films. He also points out that various aspects of American culture have seeped into Australian culture and now appear in their films, making them more appealing to an American audience. He concludes this insightful study with a projection analysis for the future of Australian cinema. With its up-to-date content and analytical approach, this book will be valuable to anyone concerned with mass communication and society, cinema studies, media, or U.S.-Australian relations.

Criticism and Nothing But.......2004-12-22

If you want to get an understanding of how the American dream relates to Australian cinema, this book is not as good a bet as it sounds, as it only touches on that idea a few times. The bulk of the book is basically standard, not even particularly academic, though up to a Pauline Kael caliber, film reviews. Lewis restricts his criteria for inclusion to only the top ten grossing films for each three year period. The majority of these reviews don't address the book's main theme, which is largely restricted to the first and last chapters, and even then, it leaves you wanting more, because he isn't giving you what he promised. As a collection of film reviews, it's not bad, but Lewis does not successfully do what he sets out to do, namely, to relate Australian movies to the American dream. If you want an overview of high-grossing Australian films, this may be helpful, but aside from documenting a few differences between Australian and American culture one could find anywhere, this really will not help you if you are interested in an approach with which to address other films, cultural attitudes, etc., all of which the opening chapter, not to mention the promotion implies that Lewis will do. The fact that this guy has a Ph.D. is most astonishing--he does what graduate students are always told not to do.

I should also point out that there are a very high number of typographical errors, even by Praeger standards, which suggests that Lewis did not re-read his text before he sent it to the publisher, which might explain why this book is so slight. He explains that criticism has always been more accepted in America than theory, but that doesn't excuse a book that sets out to be about a specific topic to be just a set of film reviews. I did love the way he makes John Milius look stupid at the end, though.

Book Description

Here is the first book to focus solely on Cisco network hacking, security auditing, and defense issues. Using the proven Hacking Exposed methodology, this book shows you how to locate and patch system vulnerabilities by looking at your Cisco network through the eyes of a hacker. The book covers device-specific and network-centered attacks and defenses and offers real-world case studies.

Customer Reviews:

Pretty good.......2007-02-18

I really nice first attempt at zeroing in on and attacking Cisco devices, something I do for a living. The book, however, is NOT really a "Hacking Exposed" line from the Scambray, Kurtz and McClure camps. It is funny how fast people will buy anything tagged with "Hacking Exposed." This book does deliver some VERY good hardening and attacking techniques and I would suggest it for anyone that is in the network security field, especially those that are directly involved with the routers/switches.

Not a great book - not a bad book either.......2006-03-30

"Hacking Exposed: Cisco Networks" is not bad but then again not great. What caused it to only get 4 out 5 stars was that many of the tools and links no longer work and this review is being written in March 2006 for a book published in Jan 2006!

One example of many:
- page 521: Cisco's tcphijack
I would then have to Google to see if the tool was now elsewhere - sometimes successfully, sometimes - not.

Another example of bad tooling - page 519 - Arpworks. Yes it is still there but they fail to mention that it only works on Windows 95/98. I could go on and on.

The thing that really annoys me on this book is the binding. The softcover binding is made of some very cheap paper which curls up. For a $50 list-price book (I paid $50 for ordering it 1st and not waiting 2 months for the price to drop to $30), I would think that Osborne could have popped for an extra $1 on a good jacket quality - which would never happen with O'Reilly.

I did pick up a few tools I was not aware of, but was it worth $50?! Nope. Is it worth now $30? Questionable. If you live and breath Cisco security there won't be much new to learn here, but it does give you a reference to lend to others that keep asking you the same questions. :-)

Great Overall View of the Situation.......2006-03-11

I think that it is difficult, perhaps impossible, to build a modern network that does include at least some Cisco equipment. Following the general set up rules in the various manuals produce a system architecture that is generally considered to be at least reasonably secure.

Basically this book may well change your mind on just how secure your Cisco system really is. As the major supplier of network equipment, Cisco is also the major target of the bad guys that are out there.

The information in this book is presented through the eyes of the penetrator. It discusses in a step-by-step way how to break into various Cisco devices on a network. By knowing how to break into the network, you can then go plug the holes in your system to keep other people from doing the same thing.

Much of the material here is available in bits and pieces around the web, in various postings, even in publication form. What this book does is bring all of the information together in one place. If you're already an expert on the subject, you might get a point or two here and there. If your just beginning to think about this kind of situation, here is a great way to get started.

A good first cut at Cisco-centric attack and defense.......2006-03-11

I've always been a fan of Osborne's Hacking Exposed books (although subjects like "Computer Forensics" don't seem to fit the spirit of the series). I previously read Wi-Foo: The Secrets of Wireless Hacking by the same authors who wrote Hacking Exposed: Cisco Networks (HECN). Comparing the two books, I agree with previous reviewer Sean E. Connelly; I think HECN was rushed to market. The book needs better technical review, proofreading, and copyediting as well. Nevertheless, I still recommend reading HECN -- it's a unique book on a critical subject.

One of the more striking aspects of HECN is the amount of original research committed to the book. Sure, the authors document already known Cisco vulnerabilities. However, they also developed a suite of tools to implement attacks discussed in HECN. They demonstrate how to apply various tools and when those applications are realistic. HECN's authors discovered a variety of new exploits (documented at the book Web site) which they submitted to Cisco's PSIRT. I appreciated this degree of originality.

HECN is on the leading edge of attacks happening right now. While reading the book I assisted with an incident response involving a Cisco switch. It appeared that bot net command-and-control traffic was originating from a switch on a client network. Upon closer inspection, I could tell that unknown intruders were bouncing IRC traffic through the management interface of the switch, probably using a variant of the ciscoBNC tool introduced in Ch 10. HECN also describes the possibilities offered by Tcl scripting on Cisco routers, which I expect to see intruders abuse.

I had two sorts of problems with HECN. First, the text can be somewhat confusing to follow. In some parts this is caused by the authors' writing style. In others confusion is caused by the authors' unwillingness to fully describe sensitive exploitation techniques. For example, they mention ways to reverse engineer and/or patch IOS binary images, but they are deliberately vague. This helps the authors stay out of trouble with Cisco, but it leaves the reader frustrated. The second problem with HECN involves the tone of the book. In some places I was left wondering why the authors made certain comments. A good example of material that should simply be dropped is the final "case study" at the end of the book.

Some minor technical issues should be fixed in future editions. In addition to those outlined by previous reviewers, I would add the item on p 460 that says AH is IP proto 49; it should be 51. I also thought the Nmap scanning recommendations on p 136 were somewhat silly. It's best to stick with the simplest scan possible and avoid the poorly-named "stealth" options Nmap offers. Finally, some of the screen shots were too fuzzy. Images taken from Ethereal in Ch 4 are examples of this problem.

Overall, I would still buy HECN. Administrators and security professionals must recognize that Cisco equipment (along with infrastructure from other vendors) are actively targeted, exploited, and abused by intruders. HECN explains how this happens and what you can do to prevent, or at least detect, these compromises. It's like 1999 all over again -- get the Hacking Exposed title that will help you mitigate a new class of threats!

A strong book, with decent concepts, but needs some polishing.......2006-02-27

Hacking Exposed Cisco Networks" (HECN) by Vladimirov, Gavrilenko, Vizulis and Mikhailovsky is the first book of it's kind to focus entirely on hacking the Cisco product line. The book offers a novel concept, and goes into some undocumented areas, but please do not expect to be seeing the enable-mode router prompt by page 50.

My first impression of Hacking Exposed Cisco Networks is that the book was simply 'rushed' to market. The book begins with an intro by Michael Lynn, who made a name for himself at the 2005 Black Hat Briefings by 'publicly demonstrating the ability to reliably exploit buffer overflows on Cisco routers.' My feeling is that after the Black Hat Briefings, a rush was put on HECN to have it published simply to ride on this wave.

The book is divided into 3 Parts and 1 Appendix and includes a total of 14 chapters. The first section, Foundations, gives a review of Cisco design models, different security elements (firewall, IDS, VPN and AAA) and examples of real world security issues.

The second section (and the main section of the book) is titled `Hacking the Box' and dives into various methods of penetrating Cisco devices. The first chapter in this section discusses using different information sources to develop a profile (what to search for on a web search engine, autonomous system discovery, Internet routing servers and tables, etc..). Next, a 50 page chapter discusses enumerating and fingerprinting Cisco devices. Subsequent chapters discuss password attacks, SNMP community string attacks, wardialing, IOS exploitation and password cracking. After penetrating a device, the next chapter shows how to exploit and preserve access.

The last section discusses protocol exploitation, which needs not be focused solely on Cisco devices; most of these attacks are common across all vendors. This includes chapters on exploiting Vlans, GRE packet injection, EAP-LEAP cracking. The last chapter discusses routing protocol exploitation including exploits for RIP, EIGRP and BGP. The Appendix includes listing undocumented Cisco commands. While these commands can also be found on the web, the book discusses ways to use the commands in context of a hacking exploit.

Some of the items I found useful from HECN:
* Chapter 4 provides a respectable list of AS profiling techniques. Starting on page 108 is an excellent introduction to a tool to help sniff routing updates (the autonomous system scanner).
* Chapter 5 provides a great chart on Cisco specific protocols (page 124). The chapter also has a very good discussion on Cisco fingerprinting.
* Chapter 8 provides a one-of-a-kind discussion on IOS memory dissection. I was extremely impressed by the discussion on stack heaps. The TFTP buffer overflow on page 281 is a great example of where the future of Cisco IOS hacking may lie. While some believe buffer overflows are soooo 2005, I think believe there is amply room to further explore this within the context of Cisco devices.

HECN also has some weak areas:
* page 24 - mentions all routers support NTP - not true, some of the lower-end IOSs only support SNTP.
* page 28 - mentions `extra flags' for UDP connections. UDP has no flags, but certainly TCP does.
* page 133 - mentions a tool, the "ST-divine tool", as available on the book's website, but the tool is not listed at the book's website.
* Chapters 1 and 3 really don't offer anything new, and only distract from the overall quality of the book.

These and other such typos/editorial mistakes don't distract too much from the overall focus of HECN. The book tries to be a proof-of-concept with many different exploits. One feels that the authors were huddled around a few Cisco boxes, trying whatever exploits they could find to bust the box. It would be very easy to rack up some routers and switches, copy the configurations provided in the book, and follow them page by page as they perform various hacking techniques.

As an owner of over 50 books dedicated to Cisco, this book goes into an area not covered by any other book in my library. And, for that fact alone, I have to respect the book. However, I have to believe that if HECN had only gone through a further round of editing, that the overall structure of the book would be much better. In the end, I do recommend this book, simply because of the novelty of the subject and due to the amount of effort that is apparent throughout the text.

I give this book 4 pings out of 5:
!!!.!

Book Description

But who could describe my fright when, on the next morning, I awoke and found myself feeling as if completely changed into a woman. — Case 129, Autobiography, from Psychopathia Sexualis, a Medico-Forensic Study by Richard Von Krafft-Ebing
At the time the passage above was written, people who felt trapped in the wrong gender automatically became case-studies. Today they become the men and women they always felt they were. Transsexuals test our notions of what it is to be male or female and, more provocatively, what it means to be one self as opposed to another. “Their stories,” says Jonathan Ames, “hold the appeal of an adventurer’s tale.”

In Sexual Metamorphosis, Ames presents the personal narratives of seventeen gender pioneers. Here is Christine Jorgensen, the first celebrity transsexual, greeting thousands of well-wishers from the stage of Madison Square Garden. Here is Caroline Cossey, former model and Bond (as in James) girl, being outed in the tabloid press. Here is novelist and English professor Jennifer Finney Boylan discussing her impending transformation with her heartbroken spouse and supportive yet confused colleagues. The result is a fascinating and compulsively readable book, filled with anguish, introspection and courage.

Customer Reviews:

Nope.......2007-08-07

"We're the hippies of the nineties," a pre-op TS told Ames (as recounted in his introduction). Alas, Ames follows the media trail to a lowest common denominator in this putatively meat & potatoes anthology (Jorgensen, Morris, Richards, Boylan, et al. chopped into prose hash). Although Ames was fortunate enough to have none other than Aleshia Brevard flirt with him in a bar, he squanders the anecdote by ending his prefatory essay with an unforgivable Kafka analogy. No, Ames, TS's do NOT wake up as cockroaches!

Excellent overview.......2007-01-08

I was quite impressed with this collection of first person narratives about transitioning from one gender to the other. The editor has chosen extracts from autobiographies of various (mostly famous) transexuals from the 1800's until the present. Christine Jorgensen, Renee Richards, Loren Cameron, Jan Morris and many others are all here. Harry Benjamin, the "grandfather" of sexual reassignment surgery is included, and so is a chapter from Krafft-Ebing's 1886 text "Psychopathia Sexualis". So it's very diverse -- covering very different kinds of transitions by very different people under very different situations. But the common thread is that they have all thought deeply about their journeys and are able to communicate their reflections in a very articulate way about them.
All in all, a very good collection for anyone interested in the subject.

David Kibbe - where are you?.......2007-04-02

Re David Kibbe's Metamorphosis - I bought this book when it first came out and having been knocked down so many times by people who supposedly loved me, I visited David in New York about a month after buying the book. Gone were all the worries about extra weight that bothered me more than anyone else. In that afternoon of a few hours, it all came together, and David made me, and everyone else in the class, feel positively wonderful and validated for the women we were, exactly as we were. I have stuck with his rules all these 20 years and while the outfits in the book may be dated, the basic concept is not. David knows what works! However, he does seem to be among the missing. Anyone know where he is these days? I could really use to buy some more of the products I got when I was there. Thanks, David, for the validation. It meant more than you will ever know. Nancy in Maine - Classic Romantic Summer, then and now, bless you.

Life Changing.......2006-10-11

I found this book at the library. I agree that it is somewhat dated and I did find it impossible to analyze myself. I suspect that this was mainly due to an inability to be objective about myself. I called David Kibbe and made an appointment to have a consultation. It was the nicest thing I have ever done for myself and I am still reaping the benefits ten years later. I never struggle with my image any more, look very pulled together, and do it all on a very limited budget. I bought two copies of the book so that I could loan one out to friends. Thank you David, Your Dramatic Classic, Vivid Summer, Deborah O.

It's Too Hard.......2006-09-02

I found this book - I can't buy all the high priced nonsense you see on TV all the time - I didn;t even have a TV until a couple of weeks ago. I got out of the shelter and into my own place - well I share it with a few other peopel - but now I have a TV - I had been abused for so many years - I used to be a beauty but years of abuse from everyone - in cluding family friends and so called "relatives" took it all away - and my innocence - people can blame me for lots of things - but the drugs and the other stuff - the selling of myself - woudl never have started if it hadn't been for the abuse - but now I am agetting back on track - in my 4th decade - and cleaning up - and I realize that it is time for me to make a move in this world - to be somebody - I went to the mall one day - I had to walk becuase my then husband had taken the keys away from me - he hid them so I would never find them - I was so high on Oxycontin at the time - but he was using too - but for some reason he thought he could drive and I couldn't - he is in jail now - so there- and I found a book that changed my life - so I am always on the lookout for books that will help me on the path - This BOOK is OK - some of the tips don;t make any sense and there are not enough types - I don;t even know what GAMINE means - maybe I am too used up to ever fit into one of these tyoes- but I would like to try - there has to be a secoind chance for women like me - maybe if he revised the book and took this into consideration - and too - how do you do a makeover on yourself and buy pretty clothes when you can barely afford to eat and pay rent - I got fired from my last job for false acusations - theirs not mine - saying I was inappropriate with a customer - I am in telemarketing now - they don;t care so much - and I can smoke at my desk - but it doesn;t pay alot - still i am grateful to have found this book and now that I am going to take night classes in medical assisting maybe it will help me change my image

Outdated.......2006-04-27

David Kibbe's book should no longer be on the shelf, unfortunately. The fashions are outdated and the ideas no longer apply. I recently went to his studio, haering about his expertise, and realized first hand that what was good in the 80's is no longer applicable in the 21st century. I think David's a bit of a fake too - he promised to send me and my sisters brushes and make up that we paid for up front, and it's now been over 6 months and we're without them. He also refuses to return any calls. Maybe he went back to 1984 and got stuck there?

The Best Fashion Book Ever.......2006-02-21

I bought this book when it came out in 1987 when I was just a kid in college and shared it with dozens of women. I was even bold enough to ask David to do a personal consultation by mail for me when I graduated and he did! I have followed his principles outlined in this book for almost two decades and have always had such wonderful comments about my personal style. David was even on the Oprah Winfrey show. If you are still out there David, women of America need you more than ever!
Metamorphosis is still a classic book to this day.

Book Description

The four studies in this book center on the Western obsession with the nature of personal identity. Focusing on the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, but with an eye toward antiquity and the present, Caroline Walker Bynum explores the themes of metamorphosis and hybridity in genres ranging from poetry, folktales, and miracle collections to scholastic theology, devotional treatises, and works of natural philosophy. She argues that the obsession with boundary-crossing and otherness was an effort to delineate nature's regularities and to establish a strong sense of personal identity, extending even beyond the grave. She examines historical figures such as Marie de France, Gerald of Wales, Bernard Clairvaux, Thomas Aquinas, and Dante, as well as modern fabulists such as Angela Carter, as examples of solutions to the perennial question of how the individual can both change and remain constant. Addressing the fundamental question for historians -- that of change -- Bynum also explores the nature of history writing itself.

Barta's exploration of the construction of the mexican subjectivity is superb. His is a sophisticated analysis of the process by which the State legitimates itself through nationalism. This work constitutes a devastating critique of the icons and myths constructed by nationalist discourse. It is also an invitation for us, mexicano/as, to rethink ourselves as subjects and to live our mexicaness in new and subversive ways.

Although this book is from 1979, and would appear to be replaced by the recent book Shadish, Cook, and Campbell, _Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs_ (2002), it is actually not redundant with the newer book as it explains a number of issues clearly that are omitted in SCC.

Field Researchers' Bible.......2003-07-01

This is a "must-have" book for anyone engaged in field research or a student of field research methods. The approach is to maximize validity of research findings based on a number of considerations in the design of field research. Examines the pit-falls made by most new and inexperienced field researchers and evaluators. Before you conduct your next program evaluation, design an applied research study, or start to collect dissertation data, read this book!

Essential for Evaluation Research.......2000-04-06

"Quasi-Experimentation" carries on the work begun by Campbell and Stanley in "Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Research." Beginning with a discussion of the positivist origins of science and evaluation research, it details a range of quasi-experimental approaches suitable to "real world" research, together with statistical techniques applicable to each. The book includes a realistic assessment of the barriers to randomization in natural settings, including the observation that true randomization is rarely used unless there is a marked power differential between the researcher and the subjects.
