 Not meant for anyone over the age of 13 November 18, 2008
If the author is only 12-15 years old then this is an admirable 1st attempt at writing & I hope he/she will begin computer science studies immediately after graduation from High School. If the author is over the age of 18 & god forbid over the age of 30 then this is a miserable & disjointed attempt to educate anyone on the subject of hacking. I would recommend searching the internet to learn about hacking methodology instead...

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. While it's not a definitive book on hacking (what book is), it allows the common user to see what tricks and or techniques are used by some hackers to exploit others systems.
For the Beginner, they can see what is done by some to attack and invade a computer or how to get around potential future attacks.
For the Novice it can help by showing potential preventative measures that can be taken to thwart a hacker and even prevent some forms of spamming or spyware.
For the Expert it may not be enough to wet your appetite but it's still good and fun reading.
The author has taken the objective position of knowing more than the average computer user and shared some of the information he knows, isn't that what hacking has always been about? Suggestions that it is a book to "cash-in" on the hacker namesake to me seem misguided and wreaks of jealousy and arrogance by others. You'll find some of this in the hacking community unfortunately.
Having been an avid computer user since 1982, I found the book to be entertaining and realistic. No page after page reading of jumbled codes without explanations. Basic and informative writing with a broad range of users in mind.
Well worth the cover price in my opinion.
People, this book is SATIRE. September 11, 2007

To people trying to critique this book on technical merits: The book is 100% satire!
The author is poking fun at both the whole script-kiddie culture and at YOU, the reader who actually thought the book was serious.
So take the book for what it's worth - a silly bit of technical satire that is about getting a chuckle more than actually imparting any real wisdom.
 Apparently folks will fork over money to ape being a nerd. Sounds like a buzz peak to me. September 6, 2006

this book has things like how to talk in 1337 (leet) and how to do strange things with your computer when i talked to the person who wrote it, tapeworm, on his website he said that the whole book was a joke and he was dared to submit his idea to a company but they took it and made it a book so it is a huge joke on his website but if you want to learn how to speak 1337 and learn words then you should buy it
