Hacking is a term most of us shudder away from. We assume that it is only for those who have lots of programming skills and loose morals and that it is too hard for us to learn how to use it. But what if you could work with hacking like a good thing, as a way to protect your own personal information and even the information of many customers for a large business? This guidebook is going to spend some time taking a look at the world of hacking, and some of the great techniques that come with this type of process as well.

In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses—from drug manufacturers to software developers to shipping companies. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze. The railway and postal systems shut down. Hospitals went dark.

Clarke and Knake take us inside quantum-computing labs racing to develop cyber superweapons; bring us into the boardrooms of the many firms that have been hacked and the few that have not; and walk us through the corridors of the US intelligence community with officials working to defend America's elections from foreign malice. With a focus on solutions over scaremongering, they make a compelling case for "cyber resilience" - building systems that can resist most attacks, raising the costs on cyber criminals and the autocrats who often lurk behind them, and avoiding...overreaction.

Cult of the Dead Cow is the tale of the oldest, most respected, and most famous American hacking group of all time. Though until now it has remained mostly anonymous, its members invented the concept of hacktivism. Today, the group and its followers are battling electoral misinformation, making personal data safer, and battling to keep technology a force for good instead of for surveillance and oppression. Cult of the Dead Cow shows how governments, corporations, and criminals came to hold immense power over individuals and how we can fight back against them.

Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI’s Holy Grail - human-level intelligence.

Good content, poor delivery
Which genius thought it was a tippy top idea for the URLs to be read out in full, character by painstaking character? No, just fricken no.
There are a cubic sh!t tonne of URLs throughout the book, and reference pages at the end of some chapters. This type of content is not suitable for an audiobook. Read out a link once to a webpage with all the URLs at the start of the book and be done with it.
It turns an otherwise engaging book into fingernails down a chalkboard.
TL;DR - skip this, get the hard copy
