Hacker's Challenge by Mike Schiffman is one of the best security workbook out there. The subtitle "Test your incident response skills using 20 scenarios" perfectly describes what is this book about. The book is divided into 2 parts. The first one contains 20 different incidents and case studies. We can read some kind of information taken during "initial response", supported with logs, outputs .etc (in the printed version). What is more author interestingly write the history plot, give us information about the IT infrastructure, time frames and so on. After each scenario we are issued with several questions such as "How the intruder broke into?", "What is significant about some files" or "What vulnerability was used".
The second part of the book - the most interesting - are the answers or correct responses to the incidents. There we can find great set of definitions, explanation of logs and clues. Furthermore, author is also saying what prevention should be used to avoid such situations in the future, or information about mitigation. Personally I am finding a lot of fun exercising and exploring different kinds of incidents with this material. Hopefully there are several vulumes of the "Hacker's Challenge". Happy to recommend.
