Hacking the Hacker takes you inside the world of cybersecurity to show you what goes on behind the scenes, and introduces you to the men and women on the front lines of this technological arms race. Twenty-six of the world's top white hat hackers, security researchers, writers, and leaders describe what they do and why, with each profile preceded by a no-experience-necessary explanation of the relevant technology.

Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly critical at all levels, from retail businesses all the way up to national security. This book drives to the heart of the field, introducing the people and practices that help keep our world secure.

  • Go deep into the world of white hat hacking to grasp just how critical cybersecurity is
  • Listen to the stories of some of the world's most renowned computer security experts
  • Delve into social engineering, cryptography, penetration testing, network attacks, and more

As a field, cybersecurity is large and multi-faceted - yet not historically diverse. With a massive demand for qualified professional that is only going to grow, opportunities are endless. Hacking the Hacker shows you why you should give the field a closer look.

this is a good starter book for the topic of hacking in general. it clarifies terminology and gives dozens of advices on how and where to inform yourself, and what to do or not to do. the chosen abstraction level is quite high, so don't expect to go to deep into details.

referencing a lot of well known and highly reputed professionals helps a lot to get into the right directions.


cons:
unfortunately the reader is reading all links that are contained, which tends to annoy me all the time listening to 'dash', 'column' 'slash' comments. typing a link is horrible enough. listening to a link is totally worse! especially if that link has a ref=Blabla parameter, which should have been cut out in the first place.

well referenced brief overview on hacking
