As 2017 closes, this month’s theme is hackers and threats. We focus on the growing underground economy, advanced threats, APTs, new classes of vulnerabilities, exploitation techniques, reverse engineering and how to combat these growing information security problems.
When it comes to learning the ins and outs of hacking, the various editions of Hacking Exposed are a great resource. The assorted titles in the series provide the reader with a hands-on and tactical approach to learning how to hack and perform penetration testing.
There are also webinars and articles with catchy titles such as How to Beat Hackers at Their Own Game - Think Like a Hacker. But being a hacker with the requisite skills and knowledge is not something that can be learned in a single book or webinar.
In Hacking the Hacker: Learn From the Experts Who Take Down Hackers (Wiley 978-1119396215), author Roger Grimes takes somewhat of a different approach. He doesn’t attempt to turn the reader into a world-class hacker. Rather his approach is to provide a high-level overview of the core security concepts that revolve around hacking. Along with interviews of leading information security professionals. As a security architect at Microsoft, the book provides a real-world approach to the topic.
While the book is not nearly as deep as other hacking books, Grimes provide a good introduction to the core areas of hacking. The book is a high-level overview of the hacking and information security landscape. It is written more towards the IT managers and CIO, rather than the system engineer who would be analyzing captured network data in Wireshark.
About half of the 50 chapters are comprised of technical overviews, with the other half being interviews and profiles of luminaries in the information security space. These interviews with experts such as Joanna Rutkowska, Mark Russinovich, Bruce Schneier, Gary McGraw and more; provide insights into how they got into the field, how they become successful, and their views on what are the most pressing problems facing the industry.
Those looking to embark on a career in information security should pay attention to these interviews. The professionals profiled share some unique points on what made them successful in the industry.
At 275 pages, Hacking the Hacker is a solid introduction to the topic. There’s not enough here to make you an elite hacker. But it will provide the reader with an understanding of what hackers do, the tools and techniques they utilize, and what it is they can do to secure their enterprises.

After a short presentation of his hacking experience, the author explains the difference between white hackers (the "good guys" in his opinion) and black hackers (the "bad guys"). Then he reviews the usual steps followed by crackers or pen testers to take control over a system.
Afterwards, each chapter describes a specific form of hacking and is followed by 1 or 2 portraits of experts in this domain. The chapter are short, so there a few technical details. Readers should not expect to learn any particular form of hacking just by reading this book. I find the portraits more interesting and some of them have interesting anecdotes.
The last chapters about "Writing as a career" and parental guidance seem out of place as far as I'm concerned.
Eventually, it is not a bad book, but I only liked it a little due to its poor technical content.
If you want more history and anecdotes I recommend "Walking Wounded: Inside the U.S. Cyberwar Machine" by Michael A. Vanputte.
For a more technical material, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation remains the reference in my humble opinion.

This book brings a general overview of the Hackers world (good and bad ones), offers an introduction of key security and privacy techniques and tools for both companies and individuals, several tips for who is willing to walk the security path and even some advice on how to cope with youngsters that are starting to hack. In the middle, a lot of security history, several security experts' short profiles and some good humor. If you know nothing about computer security, this is a great start. If you need a refresh and some basics on security, go for it. If you're a seasoned security practitioner, it might be redundant to your current knowledge - I was able to know better about some experts and got great references during the reading. If you are an IT professional, read it.

A collection of short articles. Some interviews were nice, but their quality was not consistent.

I was disappointed in the actual contents of this book, although I couldn't argue with any of the contents. I put this book on my Amazon list based on the title and subtitle, thinking it was going to focus on combatting hackers. The book was actually an introduction to basic computer security with some profiles of various well know industry personalities. I didn't disagree with the material presented, it wasn't what I was expecting at all. Had I had the opportunity to look at the contents I would not have purchased it.

Towards the end of the book, the author writes about how lucrative writing can be, and this book felt like a case study in making a quick buck. Many of the people "interviewed" in this book are very interesting, and there's a couple worthwhile profiles and quotes, but the book is lacking in depth to the extent that I don't think I learned anything meaningful. I think 10% of the volume consisted of the author writing in chapter x "(____ is profiled in chapter x-1)." Fortunately, I borrowed this book from the library.

A few months ago, I was desperately looking for a job and came across what looked like the perfect opportunity online. The 'company' seemed reputable, their website looked real, and the recruiter who contacted me was very convincing. They told me I had been 'selected' for a remote position, but before I could start, I had to pay certain processing fees and provide some documents. At first, it seemed harmless — I paid a small amount, thinking it was part of onboarding. Then came more requests: training fees, software access, and even a supposed security deposit. I kept sending money because I didn't want to lose the chance. But when I asked about starting work, they stopped replying completely. The phone numbers went dead, the website disappeared, and my money was gone. I was devastated. It wasn't just about losing money; it was the hope of finally securing a job that got ripped away. I felt angry at myself for falling for it, and embarrassed to even talk about it. One evening, while searching online for help, I found GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. Something about the way they explained their services made me feel I could trust them. They weren't pushy and didn't promise me miracles; instead, they laid out exactly what steps they would take to recover my funds and how long it could realistically take. I handed over all the details I had — bank transfers, email conversations, and transaction receipts. They were quick to respond and surprisingly patient with me, considering how many questions I asked. Throughout the process, they kept me updated, which gave me a lot of comfort after feeling so helpless. Weeks later, I got the news I never expected — they had tracked and recovered the money I lost to that fake job offer. When I saw the funds back in my account, I literally cried tears of relief. It felt like a Nightmare was finally over. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE gave me back more than just money; they gave me peace of mind and a fresh start. I don't know where I'd be without their help. If you've been tricked by scammers in any way, don't keep silent or give up hope. These people know what they're doing, and they fight hard for people like us. I'll always be Grateful for the second chance they gave me. You can reach them on web at ( https://graywaretechservice.com/ ) also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservice.com

Telegram; @PyramidhackSolution WhatsApp; +447401467910 Website; https://pyramidhacksolution.com Recovering my lost crypto investment through PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION was not just about regaining funds; it was about learning resilience in the face of adversity and difficult times in my life. Last two months, I fell victim to a cryptocurrency investment fraud. A Facebook imposter used a phishing scam to convince me that I could make a lot of money from a legitimate cryptocurrency organization that he claimed assisted traders in investing and profiting. They ripped me off and stole $217,000 in cryptocurrency. After reporting to the police and the necessary agency for fraudulent activities, I was advised to contact a recovery expert by a colleague who I told about my ordeal. He referred me to PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION while the agency is still carrying out their investigation on my case. I contacted them via email and WhatsApp. After I presented them with the proof and evidence I had gathered, they commenced the recovery process immediately , with their level of expertise I was able to recover a large part of my money back in a couple of weeks. One aspect that truly impressed me about PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION was their transparent and professional approach. They provided comprehensive information on how they operate and what clients could expect during the recovery process. Their commitment to client education reassured me that they were focused not just on profits but on genuinely helping investors regain control over their lost finance.

Hacking the Hacker: Learn From the Experts Who Take Down Hackers by Roger A. Grimes contains twenty-six mini-biographies of men and women who’s influence over technology cannot be overstated. Mr. Grimes is an accomplished author and writer specializing in secure technology.
I enjoyed reading this book but didn’t learn much to be honest. In fairness, it has been almost 10 years since it was written and much has changed. I’m sure that if I read it in 2017, I would have gotten much more out of it.
If I was forced to describe Hacking the Hacker by Roger A. Grimes in one sentence, I would categorize it as sort of an introduction to computer security. That’s not to say it targets newbies, I always learn a few things every time I read a technology book, but if you’re a non-technical high management role, this book is a wonderful primer.
Be aware that, despite the title, this book has nothing to do with actual hacking. You’re not going to learn how to hack, but get a good idea how to start defending, or at least know the right questions to ask.
For some with experience, this might be a nice refresher even though I found the mini-bios more interesting than the technical content. As I mentioned, that could be because I read the book eight years after it had been published.
If you’re interested in cybersecurity, this might be a quick and easy primer. It is very broad, and hence not very deep. The book is very broad and very general, while the writing is conversational and easy to digest.

I sought assistance and I found DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT, a team specializing in auditing crypto casinos and recovering funds for players defrauded by unscrupulous platforms. They performed a thorough audit of the casino's smart contract, and their findings were astonishing. The contract was programmed to block withdrawals once players reached a specific profit level surreptitiously. It was a concealed trap that contradicted the casino's claims of fairness. DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT initiated an investigation and successfully located the individuals responsible for the operation. Their tenacity and expertise were invaluable. Ultimately, I was able to recover $48,500 of my initial deposit, a result I had almost abandoned hope of achieving. My experience served as a valuable lesson. The crypto gaming sector is fraught with hidden dangers, and not every platform is as trustworthy as it presents itself to be. Thorough research is essential, and seeking support from DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT is advisable if you encounter Cryptocurrency Fraud. - Te/eGram, @dunenectarwebexpert

intelfoxrecovery@mail.com will Help you Recovery your Scammed Funds.
I just had to share my experience with Intel Fox Recovery Services. Initially, I was unsure if it would be possible to recover my BTC, however, with their expertise and professionalism, I was able to fully recover my funds. Unfortunately, many individuals fall victim to scams in the cryptocurrency space, especially those involving fraudulent investment platforms. Here is another caution; not all recovery services are legit. I personally lost 3 BTC from my Binance account due to a deceptive platform. If you happen to have suffered a similar loss, consider INTEL FOX RECOVERY SERVICES. Their services not only showcase a highly mannerism of professionalism but also effectiveness of how they handle and assist their clients. Therefore, I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking assistance in recovering their stolen BTC.

not sure who recommended this to me but for their sake I hope they never make it known. good god.
i'll preface by saying that this is (supposedly) aimed for a baseline understanding, and thus it doesn't really provide anything new or refreshing for someone who studied this very subject at uni, but honestly? it's bad on that front too.
it's just a long reading list of personality articles interspersed with personal anecdotes with horrendous advice (write for free if you get your picture next to the article...what?!) and random ego trips ("I consider myself one of the best in the world"). so long with absolutely nothing to say. had this at 1.75x speed on audible and still could barely stomach it.

A whitehat book that very thoroughly delves into not only the field, but both sides of it.
Mentions the most reputable names in computer security as well as links to resources from them.
Provides a lot of theory but also talks about practical considerations and achievements made throughout the history of computer and network security which can be seen as a somewhat fresh field.
I enjoyed this book in terms of the stories told and the resources given.
If you are looking for a more practical book that guides you in the art of hacking itself, then you will need to look elsewhere.

Buen libro basico para entender lo que es la ciberseguridad y sus dominios. Esperaba un libro mas avanzado. Puntos positivos, te da una explicacion de la mayoria de los dominios mas importantes de ciberseguridad y algunos ejemplos (cortos) de como expertos han llegado a dominarlos. Puntos negativos, es muy basico, alguien con experiencia pudiera ver irrelevante la informacion y que la mayoria son ingenieros que han teabajado en microsoft (los ejemplos se limitan al trabajo en Microsoft en su mayoria).

Pretty terrible book. I quit it after 4 chapters. The first couple of chapters are incredibly basic overviews of the overall approach to finding and exploiting vulnerabilities. It is very dry. And the author really seems to have a strong opinion of himself. But this book was supposed to be about the "experts". So I got through the section on Bruce Schneier and it was just terrible. Like less valuable than reading a wikipedia page about him. I gave up after an incredibly boring chapter on social engineering. Maybe it got better after that, but I'll never know.

While I generally found the history of hacking and some of the profiles of well-known hackers interesting and informative, I felt like much of the information in this book was superfluous and difficult to follow unless you actually work in cyber security. I'm definitely not the target audience so I expected not to get as much out of it as I could have, but I struggled to finish this even going into it with that mindset.

As someone new to the world of hacking, this book was great. It provides a short overview of hacking/pen testing, short chapters on all facets of hacking, and interviews with prominent members of their respective fields. But, if I had bought this book expecting a good source of theoretical knowledge, I would've been disappointed.

Creo que no te decepcionarás de encontrar una fuente rica de información sobre recomendaciones prácticas, herramientas, programas, certificados, artículos, libros, anécdotas y formas de pensar respecto a la seguridad informática.

Some very interesting topics and especially biographies of key persons in the computer security industry. My only qualm is that, having listened to the audiobook, I do not have the ability to easily access the many, many external links discussed in the text. I didn't see an optional PDF or other resource, but it would be a good addition for audio.

The hard copy book would get2 stars and the inter-active ebook would get 3 stars.
The audiobook is stunningly dull with many website addresses read aloud and in one ear and out the other. Also too much repetition all through the book.
The other reviews here seem to be sales pitches for fly-by-night apps.
The book was really uninteresting.

Veryyy basic book. Title is misleading although it does talk about honeypotting but i dont think this does justice to the book title. It doesnt teach how hackers are caught and while the information provided is authentic, its nevertheless very basic.

Good intro to security. Explains lots of terms, mentions tools as a starting point with lots of interviews of security professionals.
