The most dangerous person in the 24th century is a 15-year-old girl named Raven --- and officially she doesn't even exist. Why? Raven is a Hex --- part human, part super computer. In the late 21st century, Hexes were created by genetically enhancing human children. Hexes can reach into the Net and access information systems from around the world. They can move around the World Wide Web the way ...             The Best of 2600: A Hacker Odyssey8 reviews Emmanuel Goldstein Wiley, 2008 An important part of the history of computing The hacker ethos is beautifully captured in this anthology. I've often skimmed 2600 at bookstores but it was only when I went through this hefty tome that I realized how deep and rich are the culture and accomplishments of the hacking community. More than just the cartoonish representation in popular media, the hacking movement is a testament to creativity and innovation. Rightly so, this book ...             The Bedford Handbook19 reviews Diana Hacker Bedford/St. Martin's, 2001 Hacker lite, but not light enough Diana Hacker has an English comp book for any possible usage, she grinds them out every few years. My college requires me to use this book as a handbook. That is unfortunate. Of course, this book provides a basic explanation of English composition, grammar, documentation, and document design and critical reading. However, the attempt in this case is to present something that is lighter than ...             The Costs of Bad Hiring Decisions & How to Avoid Them, Second Edition9 reviews Carol Hacker CRC, 1998 Excellent book This book is a great guide for anyone who is responsible for hiring. It's well-written and to the point. I found myself picking it up and putting it down as I had time. I bought copies for each of my managers.             The Web Application Hacker's Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Flaws11 reviews Dafydd Stuttard, Marcus Pinto Wiley, 2007 Everything You Need to Know This is the most important IT security title written in the past year or more. Why? Custom web applications offer more opportunities for exploitation than all of the publicized vulnerabilities your hear about combined. This book gives expert treatment to the subject. I found the writing to be very clear and concise in this 727 page volume. There is minimal fluff. While everything is ...             Computer Privacy Annoyances11 reviews Dan Tynan O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Required reading for today's computerized society... Privacy? Good luck! Even the slightest misstep on line (or anywhere else, for that matter) can open you up to privacy intrusions that you may not know about. Dan Tynan does a really good job in outlining these areas in Computer Privacy Annoyances. This is pretty much required reading for living in our heavily computerized society. Contents: Privacy At Risk; Privacy At Home; Privacy On The ...             Mission-Critical Security Planner: When Hackers Won't Take No for an Answer9 reviews Eric Greenberg Wiley, 2003 Awesome high-level book It is very rarely, that you'd see a good high-level security book nowadays. There are lots of great "worm-eye view" books with nice detailed descriptions of attacks, defenses, secure configuration options, tools and tricks. However, many of the high-level books resolve to quoting some outdated CSI/FBI survey, blabbering about security policy and giving out piles of outworldly advice on how to ...             Hacker Proof (General Interest)8 reviews Kris Jamsa, Lars Klander Delmar Cengage Learning, 2002 HackerProof Very up to date book. Excellent reading (even though this is a text book for me~ Not boring text material). Great book             Honeypots: Tracking Hackers12 reviews Lance Spitzner Addison-Wesley Professional, 2002 For anyone invested with cyber security responsibilities Honeypots: Tracking Hackers By Lance Spitzner (Senior Security Architect for Sun Microsystems, Inc.) is an advanced computer science text to understanding and making use of "honeypots" (technological systems specifically designed to be compromised by online attackers) as burglar alarms, incident response systems, or tools for gathering information about hackers in order to better guard the ...             Hacker's Delight14 reviews Henry S. Warren Addison-Wesley Professional, 2002 Absolute essential This book is an absolute essential to the right reader. That right reader is either a low-level coder, a high-level logic designer, or someone who builds tools and libraries for same. In other words, not a lot of people. This is hacking at its bit-level finest, though. If you're among those few, or think you might be, or want a good laugh at the people who are, dig in. It's good for things ...             She Says: Bilingual Edition8 reviews Venus Khoury-Ghata Graywolf Press, 2003 Reviewing what She Said Venus Khoury-Ghata is a master of words. She swims in language, dives in her alphabet soup, and splashes us until we drip. She Says is a compilation of poems that converse with each other, wink at each other. Each poem bursts as you read it, like bubble wrap, when you squeeze one of its tight bulbs. Before I started reading She Says, I skimmed the book, and was struck by the fact that the ...             The Dark Net5 reviews Lulu.com, 2007 A good book is one I like to read Not many real science fiction books are written anymore. The Dark Net isn't just your romance-clothed-in-shiny-steel-with-laser-guns book, or your Klingon-speaking-gotta-read-the-series science fiction novel. This is a _good book_. Remember Ender's Game? 1984? Fahrenheit 541? The Dark Net is that kind of book, one that you can read over and over again and find something new, something ...             Spam Wars: Our Last Best Chance to Defeat Spammers, Scammers & Hackers7 reviews Danny Goodman Select Books (NY), 2004 Tough Love For E-Mail Users There is one classic book that sits on my bookshelf and shows the wear and tear of repeated use and that book is the JavaScript Bible by Danny Goodman. So when I found that Goodman had written a book about the eternal struggle against spam and phishing scams, I really wanted to get my hands on a copy of Spam Wars: Our Last Best Chance to Defeat Spammers, Scammers, and Hackers (Select Books, 2004, ...             Job Hunting in the 21st CenturyExploding the Myths, Exploring the Realities7 reviews Carol A. Hacker SLP, 1999 Good Read This book gets to the heart of what it takes to get the best job available. I was enouraged by the information offered to the reader. I don't read a lot because I don't like to read, but this book was recommended to me by my brother and I found it to be very valuable.             The Database Hacker's Handbook: Defending Database Servers7 reviews David Litchfield, Chris Anley, ... Wiley, 2005 Attacking Database Servers My review relates only to the Oracle chapters. This is the first book to actually expose real Oracle hacks. Most security books are just glorified papers on Oracle security, written by people in grey suits with image consultants. The real fun of this book is in the "Attacking Oracle" chapter. These guys gave the phrase "thinking outside of the box" real meaning. They look for a feature or ...             Yes Prime Minister: The Diaries of the Right Hon. James Hacker6 reviews Jonathan Lynn Salem House Pub, 1988 Perhaps the best media in which to appreciate the YPM series Like many tie-ins with British television shows,_YPM Diaries_ is a print version of the show, written in the voice of the characters. And , as is also the apparent British custom, it includes material previously aired. In fact, its chapters are the televised episodes themselves. But this book goes well beyond the scripts of the shows. It definitely recognizes the difference in the two media ...             Defensive Hacking Self Study Guide5 reviews Naveed Anwar Security Associates Press, 2003 Good Self Study Guide - DVD is esp. useful For one (like me) who is fed-up with all the poor script kiddie hacking books on the market which teach nothing new...then I really recommend you try DefensiveHacking. This self study guide taken from Security Associates globally taught course goes beyond the repeated stuff books like Hacking Exposed talk about again and again...what Hacking Exposed talks about in 300 pages DefensiveHacking ...             Mind Games8 reviews Alan Brudner Salvo Press, 2001 Very Clever Thriller This is definately worth a read. Very clever thriller from an author that (at least until now) was an unknown. Reads quickly; so it is perfect for a plane flight or a rainy weekend. I got it as a gift and could not put it down. Who is Alan Brudner???             Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro(R) 3.07 reviews Tamar E. Granor, Ted Roche, ... Addison Wesley Longman, 1996 Fantastic reference for EXPERIENCED foxpro programers I learned alot from this book and I have been programing foxpro from the dark ages in 1991!
