Communications of ACM recently (I beleive it to be the April issue??,
check the index) ran a very good article on computer security and
typical methods used to "break in".  The article was about someone in
W. Germany that had gained access to a network of U.S. Gov. computers.
It goes on to explain how the intruder was trapped.
