About this listen

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.

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
  • Listen to the stories of some of the world's most renowned computer security experts
  • 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.

Too many URLs spelled out loud. Makes it difficult to listen to. I’m sure it’s a great book for the right person in print.

Doesn’t work well on an audiobook

A great book for getting a broad overview and spread of perspectives across cyber security. Covered some excellent topics and contributors to the field, and I took away some key ideas. Thank you!
However…
I listened to the audio version and for HEAVEN’S SAKE….don’t READ the URLs!!! INFURIATING!
Might be better to either skip them altogether, or better yet, publish a single page with a Table Of Contents and the relevant links for each there - then refer the listener to that page at rhetorical end of each chapter.
Shame, because otherwise, I really enjoyed the book, and it’s a worthwhile listen

Great overview of cyber, but lose the URLs in the audio!

Insightful ideas and suggestions how to understand and grow in the Computer Security industry. Written and delivered well.
