No area of computing has generated as much mythology, speculation and sheer fascination as hacking. From Hollywood's perception of hackers as sinister, threatening cyberwizards to the computer trades'... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Not for "Script Kiddies"

This book is aimed at newbies/intermediate hackers/security experts, and is one of the few on the subject which actually reveals any code/technique. Obviously anyone with any experience should know all of the knowledge presented, but one has to start somewhere. Others such books includeComputer Hacking : Detection and Protection by Imtiaz Malik and Richard Scott (UK authors !)and The Happy Hacker by Carolyn P. Meinel (by no means perfect, but she has been much maligned by US misogynists who seem to resent that fact that a woman can write/lecture about anything technical) Given the legal restrictions in the UK (Computer Misuse Act 1990, Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000) the publishers Carlton Books have forced the author to leave out details of lots of techniques with which he is familiar - remember we do not have constitutionally protected "free speech" By all means invest $30 - $50 a time in all kinds of computer security books, but none of these will give you as much of a hands on flavour of what real hackers do/think about...This book is NOT a "script kiddie" manual, and is streets ahead of such classics as "Secrets of a Super Hacker" by Knightmare

GREAT FOR HACKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
