Product Description

Product Description

Hacking is never out of the news. As technology develops so do the criminals and their techniques. Examining the new dangers the Internet faces underscores the point that the Internet is still a vulnerable and fragile technology. 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 who know how to get in to all the most important computer systems worldwide, to the computer trade portraying such people as nothing more than nerdy criminals, misinformation abounds. The truth is that hacking is fun, and a past-time that the bulk of competent computer users would love to get involved in - just for the challenge.This expanded, revised and updated edition of "Hackers' Handbook 3.0" looks at the whole phenomenon of hacking, from its beginnings in the computer networks of the early 80s, through some of the legendary hackers and their exploits, to the basic tools that hackers use today - and how to guard against them, or apply them yourself to start learning the art of information retrieval. There is also a full range of hints and tips for getting the most out of the basic Internet tools we all use, such as email, the World Wide Web, and more."Hackers' Handbook 3.0" is the ultimate guide to this intriguing electronic art.

By Thurstan Johnston VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This is the latest version of this excellent book on hacking,phreaking and cracking in all its forms.

Whilst its fairly technical, it's not too heavy in the detail. It goes through the various ways and methods that people use to hack their way into systems, computers etc.

If you are looking for a manual that teaches you how to hack, this isn't it. However it gives you the principles involved and makes it very interesting to read about.

Really enjoyed this book and learned a lot from it.

excellent book. A little hard to read. Not enough of the "real stuff" inside, but laws are laws

A Must-have 4 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
I would recommend this book for anybody interested in the workings of cimputers and how to manage a comuter network. It is full of tips and tools that you can use to maintain a network and keep it safe. It also covers the history of hacking and how it has developed - which is very interesting.
