Coming Soon - Other Books In This Series Hacking Made Easy 2, Python Made Easy 1 Interested In Learning How To Hack But Don't Know How To Begin? Hacking Made Easy 1 would guide you through the process of hacking with some practical applications and prepare you for the 2nd book "Hacking Made Easy 2" Where you will learn extremely useful hacking techniques such as how to hack a Facebook Account, Wifi Password & even how to safeguard your very own WordPress site which a very important thing to know. What Can You Expect to Learn This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to become a true hacker novice. This book is not all inclusive by any means. The first half of the book is dedicated to educating you on what hacking is, clearing up truth from fiction, bringing you up to speed on what to expect and giving you an overall picture of what the world of hacking is all about. The second half of the book is the meat and potatoes. This is where we hold your hand and walk you through some scenarios you or someone you know are likely to encounter in which hacking can prove a useful solution. Here's an inescapable fact: hacking influences your life whether you choose to read this book or not. Your knee jerk reaction to that is probably something like "That's garbage, none of my accounts have ever been hacked." or "How could he know that?" As you will come to learn there is a lot more to hacking than stealing data and electronic mischief. It is our hope you'll find the following information useful and entertaining, but here and now I'm going to hit you with a disclaimer. Do not start this book with the expectation that upon completion you will be a hacker. That's beyond the power of any one book to bestow. My expectation is of a more humble and reasonable sort; I expect this book to be a litmus test for you. Upon finishing this book you should be armed with enough knowledge to know if hacking is something you truly wish to pursue. If you do not develop your skills and knowledge base after reading this, hacking will be like that hobby you took up for a while and then forgot about. For me it was playing the trumpet. In middle school I saw a parade and was captivated by a jazzy tune some trumpet players were jamming out. After that I just had to become one myself. I made a pretty good run of it by taking some lessons and ended up playing trumpet in my high school marching band for four years. Being a trumpet player even helped me land my first girlfriend. No, I didn't use it as a blunt weapon, she was a saxophone and our sections sat next to each other. Alas, all that is over a decade behind me and that trumpet now resides in the land of the lost called my attic. I haven't touched it in years and couldn't do much more than fumble through a scale now. The moral of the story is this book is only going to give you basic facts and advice about hacking. How you use the information... if you use it at all and how far you go with it are left up to your own discretion, effort, ability and drive. What Else You Can Expect to Find Inside..... The Many Kinds of Hackers, The Good, The Bad & The Unclear How To Get Started Explained With Recommended Programming Language The Requirements Of Being A Good Hacker Popular Tools For Hacking Step-By-Step Instructions For Beginners For Practical Application And Much Much More !!

Book Hacking Life

  • Author : Joseph M. Reagle, Jr.
  • Publisher : MIT Press
  • Release : 2020-02-18
  • ISBN : 0262538997
  • Pages : 217 pages

Download or read book Hacking Life written by Joseph M. Reagle, Jr. and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to keep up with a world of too much, life hackers sometimes risk going too far. Life hackers track and analyze the food they eat, the hours they sleep, the money they spend, and how they're feeling on any given day. They share tips on the most efficient ways to tie shoelaces and load the dishwasher; they employ a tomato-shaped kitchen timer as a time-management tool.They see everything as a system composed of parts that can be decomposed and recomposed, with algorithmic rules that can be understood, optimized, and subverted. In Hacking Life, Joseph Reagle examines these attempts to systematize living and finds that they are the latest in a long series of self-improvement methods. Life hacking, he writes, is self-help for the digital age's creative class. Reagle chronicles the history of life hacking, from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack through Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Timothy Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek. He describes personal outsourcing, polyphasic sleep, the quantified self movement, and hacks for pickup artists. Life hacks can be useful, useless, and sometimes harmful (for example, if you treat others as cogs in your machine). Life hacks have strengths and weaknesses, which are sometimes like two sides of a coin: being efficient is not the same thing as being effective; being precious about minimalism does not mean you are living life unfettered; and compulsively checking your vital signs is its own sort of illness. With Hacking Life, Reagle sheds light on a question even non-hackers ponder: what does it mean to live a good life in the new millennium?

Book The Hardware Hacking Handbook

Download or read book The Hardware Hacking Handbook written by Jasper van Woudenberg and published by No Starch Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hardware Hacking Handbook takes you deep inside embedded devices to show how different kinds of attacks work, then guides you through each hack on real hardware. Embedded devices are chip-size microcomputers small enough to be included in the structure of the object they control, and they’re everywhere—in phones, cars, credit cards, laptops, medical equipment, even critical infrastructure. This means understanding their security is critical. The Hardware Hacking Handbook takes you deep inside different types of embedded systems, revealing the designs, components, security limits, and reverse-engineering challenges you need to know for executing effective hardware attacks. Written with wit and infused with hands-on lab experiments, this handbook puts you in the role of an attacker interested in breaking security to do good. Starting with a crash course on the architecture of embedded devices, threat modeling, and attack trees, you’ll go on to explore hardware interfaces, ports and communication protocols, electrical signaling, tips for analyzing firmware images, and more. Along the way, you’ll use a home testing lab to perform fault-injection, side-channel (SCA), and simple and differential power analysis (SPA/DPA) attacks on a variety of real devices, such as a crypto wallet. The authors also share insights into real-life attacks on embedded systems, including Sony’s PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, and Philips Hue lights, and provide an appendix of the equipment needed for your hardware hacking lab – like a multimeter and an oscilloscope – with options for every type of budget. You’ll learn: How to model security threats, using attacker profiles, assets, objectives, and countermeasures Electrical basics that will help you understand communication interfaces, signaling, and measurement How to identify injection points for executing clock, voltage, electromagnetic, laser, and body-biasing fault attacks, as well as practical injection tips How to use timing and power analysis attacks to extract passwords and cryptographic keys Techniques for leveling up both simple and differential power analysis, from practical measurement tips to filtering, processing, and visualization Whether you’re an industry engineer tasked with understanding these attacks, a student starting out in the field, or an electronics hobbyist curious about replicating existing work, The Hardware Hacking Handbook is an indispensable resource – one you’ll always want to have onhand.
