Review: Very interesting book on the subject of hacking and security. - This book is really very interesting. I bought it because I was interested in learning more about computer security, and it really starts from a beginners perspective, which is great because while I am computer savvy, I wouldn't say hacking is my forte. It starts with terminology, which I expect all good classes to do, and goes well into history and then how-to's. I have learned so much from reading this book and it is really an interesting subject matter. I love expanding my mind! I had no idea different types of hackers called themselves different things, and that there had been viruses that had made hacking history, which is just pretty cool to me. This book is an interesting and quick read and I would recommend it to someone looking to get into the subject matter.
Review: Great info to stay safe on the internet ! - Hacking is an interesting matter to me. Now-a-days, it has become a common phenomenon as we find the news of hacking daily. However hacking has always been enticing me. This book breaks down exactly what Hacking is and how to do it with tips and facts. There is so much information in this book which is very thorough, interesting, and easy to follow! I never thought I would be able to understand hacking, let alone do it myself. Actually Hacking is nothing but breaking into someone else computer or system by circumventing the safety measures and stealing the information contained on it. This is an absolute necessity read on the off chance that you are throughout the day on your PC, particularly on the off chance that you depend on it and want to stay safe on the internet. So hacking is not only for the damage to other but also for the safety for you. As the book contains the basics of hacking, it can be taken.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very interesting book on the subject of hacking and security.
*by K***L on June 30, 2015*

This book is really very interesting. I bought it because I was interested in learning more about computer security, and it really starts from a beginners perspective, which is great because while I am computer savvy, I wouldn't say hacking is my forte. It starts with terminology, which I expect all good classes to do, and goes well into history and then how-to's. I have learned so much from reading this book and it is really an interesting subject matter. I love expanding my mind! I had no idea different types of hackers called themselves different things, and that there had been viruses that had made hacking history, which is just pretty cool to me.

### ⭐⭐ Disappointed
*by R***. on July 20, 2015*

I was a bit shocked at how many five star reviews this book received. Firstly, this book is riddled with so many spelling errors that it seems like a published rough draft. Second, this book is extremely short and equally shallow. It really doesn't have much to do with hacking at all, it simply states the nomenclature for different types of hackers and provides some examples of previous attacks. If you're looking for an actual introductory hacking book, pass this one up. I am saddened by how fake reviews are so commonplace now.
