Hacking for Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/tech))

I'm still going through it but so far it is fascinating information, and there is so much more to hacking than i ever dreamed...anyone who is interested in computers and how they work should have a look at this book..it will really wake you up...

I purchased this for my 11yr old daughter who is into computer technology and always wants to know more about computers. She kinda grumbled when she received it, but I am already seeing results that she is reading and understanding it. I believe this is a great book if you want to know the ins and outs of computer programming.

I havent finished reading the book, currently on Chapter 4 and so far so good. I think i'm convinced made a good choice

This is a great guide i am reading this because i am take some security classes and things in this book go hand and hand with the class and it has opened my eyes to things that i over look on my own systems

I'm still reading it, but it likes me, the service of the provider was very good, fast and safe.

Very informative..

OK

Excellent book for getting started; As a "Senior Citizen" much of modern technology has eluded me; but, not with this book to help me.

This is a great book if you want to protect your system from hackers or learn more about the topic but a basic knowledge about computers is needed to fully understand everything covered in this book so I'd recommend a different book if you don't know the basics about computers. But apart from that this book is very informative and well written.

Some very useful bits of information in here

Useful addition

Indeed this book has been pricey but worth the extra advice to play smarter to be safe and sound. We take all the precautions to secure our cars and homes as well as many other possessions but many take the security of the computers for granted when the Hackers are invisibly hacking to destroy our livelihood and retirement as well as our precious IDS. Many of us are unaware of the silent manner in which the destructive forces are at work behind the scenes with their immoral and unlawful invasions to cause pain and sufferings. Cyber crimes cost all of us by the millions which can also be diverted to combat poverty and other social programs and for educational purposes to benefit us all. It is also hard to teach new tricks as old habits die hard. Thus this edition of Hacking does all to prepare us all to understand the approaches followed by the cyber criminals and then only we can implement the actions to end or at least minimize the terrorism.

I started reading this book without much knowledge. My background isn't IT, but I work closely with systems and wanted to learn more on the side to help me with my job. This is a great guide. It's easy to follow and understand, moves along quickly, but it doesn't dumb down the material. This is a good resource.
