Meet the world's top ethical hackers and explore the tools of the trade

Hacking the Hacker takes you inside the world of cybersecurity to show you what goes on behind the scenes, and introduces you to the men and women on the front lines of this technological arms race. Twenty-six of the world's top white hat hackers, security researchers, writers, and leaders, describe what they do and why, with each profile preceded by a no-experience-necessary explanation of the relevant technology.  Dorothy Denning discusses advanced persistent threats, Martin Hellman describes how he helped invent public key encryption, Bill Cheswick talks about firewalls, Dr. Charlie Miller talks about hacking cars, and other cybersecurity experts from around the world detail the threats, their defenses, and the tools and techniques they use to thwart the most advanced criminals history has ever seen. Light on jargon and heavy on intrigue, this book is designed to be an introduction to the field; final chapters include a guide for parents of young hackers, as well as the Code of Ethical Hacking to help you start your own journey to the top.

Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly critical at all levels, from retail businesses all the way up to national security. This book drives to the heart of the field, introducing the people and practices that help keep our world secure.

  • Go deep into the world of white hat hacking to grasp just how critical cybersecurity is
  • Read the stories of some of the world's most renowned computer security experts
  • Learn how hackers do what they do―no technical expertise necessary
  • Delve into social engineering, cryptography, penetration testing, network attacks, and more

As a field, cybersecurity is large and multi-faceted―yet not historically diverse. With a massive demand for qualified professional that is only going to grow, opportunities are endless. Hacking the Hacker shows you why you should give the field a closer look.

5.0 out of 5 stars SIBKISS - See IT Big. Keep IT Simple Somehow.
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2017

This is a must read for any business owner that has employees that use computers. Yeah, pretty much all business owners fill that requirement. Most of us don't know a damn thing about network security and the few of us that claim a little knowledge can always learn more. This book is not technical, it's more of an overview of the things that you should be aware of, if you want to have a discussion with your network people and employees when you must address security. I liked the fact that it's a book you can pick up and put down without losing the flow. I liked how the book takes on various areas of security and the challenges, then has an interview with a luminary in that particular specialty. It’s like getting a front line report from the battle field. I owned a business for 25 years that built web sites and did data management for pharmaceutical companies and internet marketing firms. We had to deal with HIPAA regulations and computer security was always a top priority so I could relate to much of this book.

Disclosure: I've known Roger Grimes for over 5 years, he is a neighbor, a fellow scuba diver, an avid fisherman and a good friend. I met him after I retired and moved to Key Largo. In the time I've known him, I can tell you that Roger is 100% into computer security even when we're doing other things. It's not unusual to be 20 miles off shore, trolling for mahi, and have Roger talk about his frustration with unpatched java or how some company just fell prey to a social engineering hack. He loves talking about computer security and has the ability to take complex complicated issues and make them understandable to the non-professional.

Even though this book is a couple of years old, all the information in it is still relevant today. I'm very impressed with how Robert breaks down a lot of information to easily understandable segments and interviews a lot of people at the top of their field. What surprised me most is how personable and down to earth the people interviewed are.

5.0 out of 5 stars A novel approach to IT security books
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2017

The author devotes a chapter to explain a specific field of IT Security (cryptography, pen testing etc.) and then one (or more) to present an interview with an emblematic personality who pioneered or advanced that field. Although I am an experienced security engineer, I still learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the countless interviews of distinguished professionals. Highly recommended for the content and the originality of the idea.
