Download or read book A Hacker I Am written by Craig Ford and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-09-07 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not your normal cybersecurity book, it's not meant to be read from front to back chapter by chapter, you open it up and pick which chapter piques your interest the most and read that one first. Then choose your next one and read that and continue the process until you have finally read all of them. You may have enjoyed them enough to go back and read your favourites again or you may prefer the last two fantasy chapters at the end of the book.These were created to introduce you to the future hacker fantasy series that is currently being written and give you my readers a bit of a fun finish to "A Hacker, I Am". By all means though if you want to stick to the old fashioned method of reading a book, knock yourself out and read it from the front to the back, hey you bought the book you should be able to read it however you want too.This book is a collation of previous work, rewritten and adapted for this book. I have then written a lot of new content just for the book, including those fantasy book teasers which I hope you all enjoy. The book as you would have probably guessed it by now is all about Cyber Security but it's not written to be overly technical, it's written so that it can be understood by anyone who wants to learn more about how to better protect themselves.It covers many topics in cybersecurity including IoT, autonomous cars, hackers and many more that I have an opinion on. This book will be great at helping introduce individuals to the area and help them get a better understanding of what to look out for, what problems we are all going to face in the future but also have a bit of fun while we are at it. Or if you are already in the industry then it will be still an entertaining read that can help give you a different perspective on a few things.

Download or read book Down and Dirty Pictures written by Peter Biskind and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “dishy…superbly reported” (Entertainment Weekly) New York Times bestseller, Peter Biskind chronicles the rise of independent filmmakers who reinvented Hollywood—most notably Sundance founder Robert Redford and Harvey Weinstein, who with his brother, Bob, made Miramax Films an indie powerhouse. As he did in his acclaimed Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, Peter Biskind “takes on the movie industry of the 1990s and again gets the story” (The New York Times). Biskind charts in fascinating detail the meteoric rise of the controversial Harvey Weinstein, often described as the last mogul, who created an Oscar factory that became the envy of the studios, while leaving a trail of carnage in his wake. He follows Sundance as it grew from a regional film festival to the premier showcase of independent film, succeeding almost despite the mercurial Redford, whose visionary plans were nearly thwarted by his own quixotic personality. Likewise, the directors who emerged from the independent movement, such as Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, and David O. Russell, are now among the best-known directors in Hollywood. Not to mention the actors who emerged with them, like Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Ethan Hawke, and Uma Thurman. Candid, controversial, and “sensationally entertaining” (Los Angeles Times) Down and Dirty Pictures is a must-read for anyone interested in the film world.
