Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begun in The Hacker's Heart continues! He's always been secretive. Can he be trusted to love? The mysterious hacker Stryker13 is dead... as far as most people (and government agencies) need to know. In his place is a seemingly ordinary computer-science student named Luke Blankenship, ready to start a new life with the woman he loves. Melinda Rossiter is that woman. She didn't expect to fall in love with Luke, or to lose him, and most of all she didn't expect to get him back. After all they've been through, she'd be a fool not to take a chance on a relationship with him. But when staying with Luke means changing cities and giving up her meaningful job for a much worse one, Melinda starts to worry that the connection they forged isn't strong enough to sustain the day-to-day challenges of living together. And when he gets tempted to venture into high-level hacking again, she has to decide whether their love is worth upending—and quite possibly risking—her life. Please note: this is not a stand-alone story! It's best enjoyed after reading the prequel, The Hacker's Heart.

Book excerpt: The practice of computer hacking is increasingly being viewed as a major security dilemma in Western societies, by governments and security experts alike. Using a wealth of material taken from interviews with a wide range of interested parties such as computer scientists, security experts and hackers themselves, Paul Taylor provides a uniquely revealing and richly sourced account of the debates that surround this controversial practice. By doing so, he reveals the dangers inherent in the extremes of conciliation and antagonism with which society reacts to hacking and argues that a new middle way must be found if we are to make the most of society's high-tech meddlers.

To accomplish that task, the book offers an overview of cybercrime and an in-depth discussion of the legal and policy issues surrounding it. Enhancing her narrative with real-life stories, author Susan W. Brenner traces the rise of cybercrime from mainframe computer hacking in the 1950s to the organized, professional, and often transnational cybercrime that has become the norm in the 21st century. She explains the many different types of computer-facilitated crime, including identity theft, stalking, extortion, and the use of viruses and worms to damage computers, and outlines and analyzes the challenges cybercrime poses for law enforcement officers at the national and international levels. Finally, she considers the inherent tension between improving law enforcement's ability to pursue cybercriminals and protecting the privacy of U.S. citizens.

Download or read book Helpful Hackers written by Chris van 't Hof and published by Vior Webmedia. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Hospital leaks patient records’, ‘Public transport smartcard has more holes than a sieve’, ‘Mobile banking app unsafe’ – it seems that everything can be hacked these days. Fortunately, the person who discovers a flaw is not necessarily a cybercriminal but is often someone who wants to help improve cyber security. He or she immediately contacts the system owner so that the problem can be solved. A well-coordinated approach allows everyone to learn from the exercise we call ‘responsible disclosure’. The Netherlands is a world leader in responsible disclosure. The Dutch like to resolve conflicts through a process of general consultation: the famous ‘polder model’. This seems a particularly appropriate approach in the realm of IT and cyber security, since there is no central authority with overall responsibility but many diverse players, each responsible for their own tiny part of a vast and complex system. In this book, we hear from the hackers, system owners, IT specialists, managers, journalists, politicians and lawyers who have been key players in a number of prominent disclosures. Their stories offer a glimpse into the mysterious world of cyber security, revealing how hackers can help us all. www.helpfulhackers.nl Chris van ’t Hof is an internet researcher and presenter with a background in sociology and electrical engineering. This is his eighth book. While a researcher at the Rathenau Institute, he authored a number of titles including Check in / Check out: the Public Space as an Internet of Things and RFID and Identity Management in Everyday Life. With his company Tek Tok, he now organizes various information technology events. Chris van ’t Hof also has his own talkshow, Tek Tok Late Night. www.tektok.nl
