In this section I will give a list of the lessons I learned from the book the â€Å"Cuckoo’s Egg† by Clifford Stoll in relation to the subjects that I am currently. Also I will identify any breaches to the Irish data protection act that could be pointed out from the book.

As shown throughout the book the hackers are able to access various systems, like telephone systems and satellites to access the network across the world. Then they illegal gain access by using default user names and passwords. The illustration [1] below shows how the hackers got access through different networks that were connected. The data protection act states that access to wireless networks should be controlled by the data controllers and that they should have encryption and the appropriate securities in place
