What’s Jim Reading? Hacking WoW

Sep 11 2007

My son is a level 70 mage, and I couldn’t be prouder.  If that sentence makes no sense, you obviously do not play World of Warcraft.  I just started reading Exploiting Online Games, co-authored by my friend Gary McGraw and I highly recommend you check it out.  I just finished chapter 4 and it has already been worth the price of admission.  WoW, Second Life, online gambling, et al., are a preview of how we will be interacting with software and the Internet in the future, and we better figure out how to secure it.  The book is filled with some wonderful examples and sobering Catch 22’s in regards to the vulnerabilities of the MMORPGs.  Now if I could only get my avatar to write this blog without me…
