      Booklist Review of A Hacker’s Mind

      news.movim.eu / Schneier · Saturday, 14 January, 2023 - 16:29

    Booklist reviews A Hacker’s Mind :

    Author and public-interest security technologist Schneier ( Data and Goliath , 2015) defines a “hack” as an activity allowed by a system “that subverts the rules or norms of the system […] at the expense of someone else affected by the system.” In accessing the security of a particular system, technologists such as Schneier look at how it might fail. In order to counter a hack, it becomes necessary to think like a hacker. Schneier lays out the ramifications of a variety of hacks, contrasting the hacking of the tax code to benefit the wealthy with hacks in realms such as sports that can innovate and change a game for the better. The key to dealing with hacks is being proactive and providing adequate patches to fix any vulnerabilities. Schneier’s fascinating work illustrates how susceptible many systems are to being hacked and how lives can be altered by these subversions. Schneier’s deep dive into this cross-section of technology and humanity makes for investigative gold.

    The book will be published on February 7. Here’s the book’s webpage. You can pre-order a signed copy from me here .

      Click Here to Kill Everybody Sale

      Bruce Schneier · news.movim.eu / Schneier · Monday, 18 January, 2021 - 21:02 · 1 minute

    For a limited time, I am selling signed copies of Click Here to Kill Everybody in hardcover for just $6, plus shipping.

    Note that I have had occasional problems with international shipping. The book just disappears somewhere in the process. At this price, international orders are at the buyer’s risk. Also, the USPS keeps reminding us that shipping — both US and international — may be delayed during the pandemic.

    I have 500 copies of the book available. When they’re gone, the sale is over and the price will revert to normal.

    Order here .

    EDITED TO ADD: I was able to get another 500 from the publisher, since the first 500 sold out so quickly.

    Please be patient on delivery. There are already 550 orders, and that’s a lot of work to sign and mail. I’m going to be doing them a few at a time over the next several weeks. So all of you people reading this paragraph before ordering, understand that there are a lot of people ahead of you in line.

    EDITED TO ADD (1/16): I am sold out. If I can get more copies, I’ll hold another sale after I sign and mail the 1,000 copies that you all purchased.
