'Gather as Many Useful Tricks as You Can' "We loosely define hacking as an ensemble of tricks and tips designed to achieve unexpected results from a system or a process. Yet, these tricks have an ever-accelerating expiry date. Your aim as a security professional or enthusiast is to seek out and gather as many useful tricks as you can. You never know which spear will stop the bull’s charging ahead." —From the Introduction 'Not Your Typical Tech Book' "This is not your typical tech book. There won’t be tutorials, in the traditional sense. We take on the role of the hacker, and our target is the (fictional) political consultancy firm Gretsch Politico. I’ll walk you through a day (or several) in the life of a hacker, working from start to finish—from setting up a decent anonymous infrastructure, to performing some preliminary recon, to finally infiltrating and exploiting the target." —From the Introduction 'How Security Works in the Real World' "As we feel out our journey, we’ll meet many dead ends and roadblocks, but I’ll show you how you can use even the most apparently meagre of results to set you on another path. This is how security works in the real world. Not every route will lead to success, but with enough perseverance, a tad of creativity and sheer luck, you can stumble upon some interesting findings." —From the Introduction About the Author Sparc Flow is a computer security expert specializing in ethical hacking.
