Hacker 1.0: Preventing The Hack

by Carl Alexander

Hacker 1.0 – Preventing the Hack was not written by a hacker for hackers. It is intended to be the first in a series of books written by a hacker for the whole of society. Its intent is to appeal to the technophobic reader who knows just enough to login to his bank account to move his cash from one account to another, or to pay his bills online but not necessarily how to protect himself from himself. Further, this book was written to be understood by the reader in terms that that he can understand. It is salt and peppered with just the right balance of humor and resoluteness to keep the readers experience light and frosty not so dark and foreboding. Never before have we, as a society, felt as powerless as we do today in 2022. Every time you turn on your favorite news station you’re hearing about Russian hackers, or Chinese hackers, or Bosnian hackers, hacking our banking systems, or sending ransomware to some major hospital and locking up all of the patient records until the ransom is paid. If there is a WWIII it will not be fought between nations using traditional weapons of war. It will be fought between world-class hackers and state-of-the-art computer networks. When it’s all over, the losing side will have been hacked back into the stone-age. The reader public is always hungry for content about hackers. To learn more, to know more, and to want more. This book allows the reader to become part of the whole of the hacker experience, to get inside the hackers head, to find out what makes them do what they do, and how to avoid them doing what they do.
