Rainbow Series
Technicolor Rainbow describes a collection of documents per safety standards of Defense of the United States. The individual security standards are identified by colors, so there are, for example, the Orange Book, which is used to evaluate and certify the security of computer systems as standard.

Connections to the hacker scene
The safety standards are a great help for all those who intend to study a public safety system for vulnerabilities, as Technicolor Rainbow describes all the procedures of safety standards. An additional boost of notoriety received Technicolor Rainbow by a small appearance in the film Hackers, where there still more books have been enumerated, which does not belong to the NSA / NCSC / DoD Technicolor Rainbow.
Other books lying in context
These books are from the movie Hackers and to be accounted for incorrectly there to Technicolor Rainbow International UNIX Environment Computer Security Criteria - standard work of Defense Pink Shirt Book - reference for programmers of DOS Devil Book - "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3 BSD UNIX Operating System" Dragon Book - "Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools "
Conclusion
Rainbow Books describes only the standards of compact disks and has nothing to do with Technicolor Rainbow. One can say that the Technicolor Rainbow is a guide to computer security, at least for the U.S. authorities. Hackers facilitate these readings the work because they do not rely on it to find weaknesses in the system, since the function procedures are already documented and hackers only need to look for suitable job in the system in which they engage themselves.
