Book excerpt: Why work harder than you have to? One manager kept his senior execs happy by secretly hacking into the company's database to give them the reports they needed in one third of the time. Hacking is a powerful solution to every stupid procedure, tool, rule, and process we are forced to endure at the office. Benevolent hackers are saving business from itself. It would be so much easier to do great work if not for lingering bureaucracies, outdated technologies, and deeply irrational rules and procedures. These things are killing us. Frustrating? Hell, yes. But take heart-there's an army of heroes coming to the rescue. Today's top performers are taking matters into their own hands: bypassing sacred structures, using forbidden tools, and ignoring silly corporate edicts. In other words, they are hacking work to increase their efficiency and job satisfaction. Consultant Bill Jensen teamed up with hacker Josh Klein to expose the cheat codes that enable people to work smarter instead of harder. Once employees learn how to hack their work, they accomplish more in less time. They cut through red tape and circumvent stupid rules. For instance, Elizabeth's bosses wouldn't sign off on her plan to improve customer service. So she made videotapes of customers complaining about what needed fixing and posted them on YouTube. Within days, public outcry forced senior management to reverse its decision. Hacking Work reveals powerful technological and social hacks and shows readers how to apply them to sidestep bureaucratic boundaries and busywork. It's about making the system work for you, not the other way around, so you can take control of your workload, increase your productivity, and help your company succeed-in spite of itself.

Book excerpt: How to Become a HackerComputer Hacking Beginners GuideThe term "hacker" today has garnered a negative connotation. You've heard about hackers breakinginto computer systems and looking at or even stealing some very sensitive and very privateinformation. Millions of computer users worldwide have felt the effects of hacking activity. Thatincludes virus attacks, spyware, and other forms of malware that slow down, break into, or evencripple your computer system.However, not all hackers are dubious and unscrupulous souls who have nothing better to do in life. Infact, the term "hacker" originally had a very positive and beneficial meaning to it. Traditionally, ahacker is someone who likes to tinker with computers and other forms of electronics. They enjoyfiguring out how current systems work and find ways to improve them.In other words, he used to be the guy who had to figure out how to make computers faster and better.Nowadays, a hacker is just someone who steals electronic information for their own self-interest.Nevertheless, there are still good hackers (white hat hackers) and bad hackers (black hat hackers).It basically takes a hacker to catch a hacker and the good news is that a lot of them are on your side ofthe playing field. The premise of this book is to help you learn the basics of ethical hacking (the stuffthat white hat hackers do). But in order to know what to look out for, you will have to catch a glimpseof what black hat hackers do.The bottom line here is that hacking is no more than a set of computer skills that can be used for eithergood or bad. How one uses those skills will clearly define whether one is a white hat or a black hathacker. The skills and tools are always neutral; only when they are used for malicious purposes dothey take a turn for the worse.What are the Objectives of Ethical Hacking?If hacking per se today is bent on stealing valuable information, ethical hacking on the other hand isused to identify possible weak points in your computer system or network and making them securebefore the bad guys (aka the black hat hackers) use them against you. It's the objective of white hathackers or ethical hackers to do security checks and keep everything secure.That is also the reason why some professional white hat hackers are called penetration testingspecialists. One rule of thumb to help distinguish penetration testing versus malicious hacking is thatwhite hat hackers have the permission of the system's owner to try and break their security.In the process, if the penetration testing is successful, the owner of the system will end up with a moresecure computer system or network system. After all the penetration testing is completed, the ethicalhacker, the one who's doing the legal hacking, will recommend security solutions and may even helpimplement them.It is the goal of ethical hackers to hack into a system (the one where they were permitted and hired tohack, specifically by the system's owner) but they should do so in a non-destructive way. This meansthat even though they did hack into the system, they should not tamper with the system's operations.Part of their goal is to discover as much vulnerability as they can. They should also be able toenumerate them and report back to the owner of the system that they hacked. It is also their job toprove each piece of vulnerability they discover. This may entail a demonstration or any other kind ofevidence that they can present.Ethical hackers often report to the owner of the system or at least to the part of a company'smanagement that is responsible for system security. They work hand in hand with the company to keepthe integrity of their computer systems and data. Their final goal is to have the results of their effortsimplemented and make the system better secured.

Book excerpt: Harden the human firewall against the most current threats Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking reveals the craftier side of the hacker’s repertoire—why hack into something when you could just ask for access? Undetectable by firewalls and antivirus software, social engineering relies on human fault to gain access to sensitive spaces; in this book, renowned expert Christopher Hadnagy explains the most commonly-used techniques that fool even the most robust security personnel, and shows you how these techniques have been used in the past. The way that we make decisions as humans affects everything from our emotions to our security.

This new Second Edition has been updated with the most current methods used by sharing stories, examples, and scientific study behind how those decisions are exploited. Networks and systems can be hacked, but they can also be protected; when the “system” in question is a human being, there is no software to fall back on, no hardware upgrade, no code that can lock information down indefinitely. Human nature and emotion is the secret weapon of the malicious social engineering, and this book shows you how to recognize, predict, and prevent this type of manipulation by taking you inside the social engineer’s bag of tricks. Examine the most common social engineering tricks used to gain access Discover which popular techniques generally don’t work in the real world Examine how our understanding of the science behind emotions and decisions can be used by social engineers Learn how social engineering factors into some of the biggest recent headlines Learn how to use these skills as a professional social engineer and secure your company Adopt effective counter-measures to keep hackers at bay By working from the social engineer’s playbook, you gain the advantage of foresight that can help you protect yourself and others from even their best efforts.
