Technicolor Rainbow

Connections to the hacker scene

The security standards are of great help to all those who intend to examine a public security system for vulnerabilities, as Technicolor Rainbow describes all procedures of the security standards. Technicolor Rainbow received an additional boost in popularity through a small appearance in the film Hackers , where other books were listed that do not belong to the NSA / NCSC / DoD Technicolor Rainbow.

Other related books

These books come from the film Hackers and are incorrectly included in Technicolor Rainbow

Closing word

Rainbow Books only describes the standards of compact discs and has nothing to do with Technicolor Rainbow. It can be said that the Technicolor Rainbow is a guide to computer security, at least for the American authorities. This reading makes the work of hackers easier, as they do not have to rely on finding weak points in the system, since the functionality is already documented and hackers only have to look for suitable places in the system by hooking up to them .
