Byte Me! : Hayduke's Guide To Computer-Generated Revenge

Rating:
Summary: yeah
Review: Although it had some interesting information, it fell short because most of the computer revenge techniques in the book were common sense (unless you knew nothing about computers that is). so in all, it was pretty much a waste of time for me but i did gain some very interesting ways for revenge. hehe

Summary: Wish it had more material
Review: Byte Me! has some interesting tips. However, it would be much better if had at least twice as much content. It also has a very
serious inaccuracy. The book says that you can create a Hotmail account using a false ID and send messages that cannot be traced back to you. THIS IS NOT TRUE!.. Messages can still be traced to your computer's Internet address, which identifies your computer on the Internet and can be used to find you. So you must use a truly anonymous e-mail service to be safe.

Summary: Unless you're totally inept, don't bother.
Review: I thought I'd be able to find some sophisticated ways to get revenge on the internet--mail bombing, sending pages to thousands of people with my target's phone number, et cetera. Better still, I thought, maybe I'd learn some low-level cracking stuff: the kind of stuff you could use to wreak some serious havoc.

Alas, this is revenge for the very, very simple-minded only. Come on, now--who needs a book to tell them that superglue anywhere in someone's CPU will be irritating? Yes, the ideas presented in this book are just that lame. There are a few gems, but don't bother buying this book to mine them from.

Summary: Cool book, but a little too much introduction and epilogue
Review: This is a good and entertraining revenge book. Maybe with a little too much introduction and epilogue, but they are funny, too. I don't know if the introduction thing is a trademark of Hayduke, because this is the first book by him i read. Over to the tricks: if you want a long distance revenge and have a computer, then this is the book for you. You learn how to get revenge by telephone, fax, computers and internet. All with humor and irony. Even better in "reading if you got nothing to do or is at the toilet" category. Anyway, i like it.
