I don't know about this thing (whether or not I'll buy, I mean). Is it gonna be like the ways they got around whatever they did, or is it gonna be like "hey, my name is r00t3r, my real name is jonnie, I hax0red a system. Yeh, it was me you bastards!" or something?
Would you happen to be the author of this particular book?
Sounds fairly interesting, whatever it turns out to be.
hehe it could be just like one of em ex-kgb agent diaries or somefin..

me also think the same thing...hihihihi....
ill check it out
I was talking to the author.... he's a reporter for Computerworld. Sounds like it will finally set the record straight and give people a sense of what makes hackerz tick... and that we're not the terrorists people think we are...
no man, i didn't write it
-D
Idunno. Just the name... "Hacker Diaries"...All it is going to do is affirm an existing stereotype, I bet. Probably the introvert teen one again.
I predict...
...this will only want to make some pimpled, socially deprived, straight C+ student who's at the bottom of his/her school's social ladder to hack into the system and brag about it to all their friends, only to be set even further aside from the rest of humanity...for ethics will, and cannot with entertainment at hand..., be portrayed by such meager means...
clear the forum for all the newbies!
The title makes me think about the movie "The Princess Diaries" .... LOL.... I would like to read a book about the security defenders that stay up late monitoring their log files and building intrusion detection systems, firewalls, security policies and their tiring efforts to get upper mgmt buy-in and educate end-users.
When is something about the front-lines, on the honorable side of the fence going to be published?
Hmmm....maybe I should write it myself so that I can collect the royalties and buy bigger, better, faster, machines..... Yeah....
