I enjoy reading books about how to do things, and what makes them tick. I think this book covers a lot of ground on how to hack websites. As they say, to catch a criminal, it helps to have a criminal mind. That would also apply to hackers. We’re all curious, and whether we admit it or not, we really don’t like locks because we want to know what is in the room which is being locked. In the book, “1984â€Â, there was a room that people really did not want to go into although no one would actually say what was in it. It was your worst nightmare, the thing you feared the most. As we all know, fear is a personal thing. So room 19 wouldn’t hold for you what I was afraid of, but rather what you are afraid of. It’s a little like that as far as hackers go. There are different types of hackers, white-hat, gray-hat, black-hat, etc. Not all of them are going to steal your information and either use it or, God forbid, sell it. But for the ones who do, it’s better to cya (cover your ass) than to be like the proverbial ostrich and stick our head in the sand. Full Review >
