FAO the security gurus - tracking crackers by bungi 2007-10-05 15:42:23
A friend of mine does some music work with a guy in the US, and his website keeps getting trashed by someone claiming to be a particular 'hacker' group. Don't know why, other than they are a bunch of bored kiddies, who can. He has asked me for advice.

I'm getting him to move his hosting (ISP uses IIS 6) and have his site recoded. He uses some commercial ASP stuff that looks dodgy to me.

However I hate the idea that he can get persistently hacked by the same people, so, my question is, where is a good starting point for backtracking the crack? I'm reasonably net savvy, and I'm interested in this theoretically as well as practically. Can anyone recommend books, software, sites, techniques etc that are good starting points?

thanks.
