Zero-Knowledge Password is a book by Th0R (as the Writer) and Me, Zoiz (as the Co-Writer). This book will hit all Gramedia Bookstore(s) in Indonesia by 6th of February 2008. This book covers a lot of interesting materials regarding to one of the oldest, yet most effective way of authentication; so called as Password. This book will also include new, easy and dangerous technique(s) that malicious guy(s) do in order to stole people’s password(s) and gain his/her personal advantages out of private and credential informations that can be found from the victim(s).

The basic idea of this book is to share out several real and unique cases right from the field(s) and to be discussed here. Most of the technique(s) are not fully patched yet, due to several reasons from the developers. In this book, we will talk about CitiBank, Telkom, Indosat, and a lot more companies’ failure to protect their customer’s credentials – Some cases will also talk about how 80% of the Internet users are easily giving up their password(s) to the bad guys.

Although the main subject of this book looks so easy to be protected (Since I believe everyone know how to defend their PIN and/or Passwords already), but believe me, you’ll be surprised the moment you know some people who called themselves as ‘Security Experts’ are giving out their passwords so easily. If those experts can accidentally do some mistakes, we couldn’t we?!

I also would like to say a big thanks to CalvinLimuel (For his understanding to be discussed as the “Main Character” in this book) and Th0R for his guidance and support during writing this book. Without him I’ll not be book writer.

Note :

Due to some technical mistakes of Elexmedia, my Nick will not be on the cover for the first publish. Felt a little disappointed at first, but it’s OK since this is the first time I write book. You can still see my complete biography inside the book. And there’s also a good news here. Elexmedia will print 5000 copies of Zero-Knowledge Password for its first publish. That means, our book breaks Elexmedia records in number of copies for first publish. Awesome! hehehe
Thanks,

Zoiz & Th0R
