Rating: Summary: It kicked. Review: Masters of Deception is an extremely well written book. It treats the hacker community with a lot of respect. 10. That's it!
Rating: Summary: Not worth the read Review: I am a fan of this genre of books. This book is the most boring account I've read. Instead of a pleasure, it was tedious to read.
Rating: Summary: This book rocks! (this is coming from a haKer Review: i read this book just 2 days ago. I had heard of MOD and knew a couple of MODers so when i saw this book in the school library i figured i'de check it out. I figured it would be pretty freakin lame, just like all the other hacker books that claim to be from a hackers life or somethin like that. It was actually a really good book. There are a lot of facts in this book such as: actual programming code, trashing, and the use of UNIX systems and VAX systems and Telenet and all those goodies. I think you should read this book whether you are pro hacking or anti hacking. If you are are for hacking then it is a really good book just for the experiance of reading it. It is good for people who truly HATE hackers also, because it shows our side and our story! One last note: The hackers in this book are like me and my freinds, TRUE hackers! They are not some little annoying AOL punks. These guys can program and actually Hack! thosee little posers on AOL just press a button on a program to draw a macro (picture) in a chat room or send you an IM bomb (which is just repeated IMs)........If you want to get a hold of me then go on IRC (undernet) #rettahdam i'm \69\ 69mäd69
Rating: Summary: Great Book Review: I feel this was a great book and explained a lot about the notorious MOD. It was fun to read and had was a great into to the hacking/phreaking culture of the 80's. If only they made a biography on LOD.
Rating: Summary: Loved it, brings back lots of memories. Review: I loved this book. Brought back many memories about the 80s and the roots of computers and hacking. For anyone that wonders why people do the things they do regarding comptuers you should read it! Great book!
Rating: Summary: The lives and works of a gang of teen phreakers Review: A good book, carefully written. It presents the facts as clear as possible, tells the stories of a bunch of kids that made the telco networks their playground, explain what happened, and gives the kids' statements in addition to the telco officials' and feds', for you to make your own opinion. The best computer crime book I've read since "The hacker Crackdown".
Rating: Summary: Read this book! It is truly worth the time! Review: Years from now this book will stand as a historical document. Wars in cyberspace will be able to trace there roots to the events so deftly covered in this wonderful book. It's exciting, shocking, and devilishly fun to read. You identify with everyone and no one and in the end realize what this means about the nature of information in our wired world.
Rating: Summary: Memories ! Review: This one has been on the shelf for nearly 2 years, this week I finally picked it up. Lots of fun, even nostalgic. I cant say that I was as knowledgeable as these kids are, but I spent many nights doing as they did. The authors did a very good job of explaning the technicle aspects in plain english.
Rating: Summary: A very interesting mystery thriller! Review: This is a great book that doesn't get too boggled down with the computer jargon that could interfere with the story. A great story that won't only appeal to people who fully understand the workings of cyberspace, but a great entertainment for anyone who enjoys mysteries and thrillers.
Rating: Summary: You have to read this at least twice !!! Review: I rented this book from my library and started to skim it then I read it from the beginning and couldn't believe how awesome it was. It was unbelievable. It had me wanting for more every minute of the day. I didn't even want to sleep but I had to. I bought the book soon after and am reading it again. This is one perfect book. If you are into computer a lot or just want an awesome edge-of-your-seat book then read this one.
