Sparda Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Read "Steal this computer book 4.0", it probably will be the first non-fictional book I have ever read properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Out of interest, what do people think of that book I surrgested? I'm half way through it (having started reading it becasue of a assighnment I had to do and had to give refrances and quotes and stuff) and I'm at leaste able to conentrate one what it's saying, which probably means it was well writen.

leetabix Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Here is good. Like pelicans are good. Actually, I summarized that thread into a Hacking page on the Hak.5 Wiki. Was about to suggest the same...I looked at that list and ended up listening to This Week in Tech (TWiT) and also Security Now as a result, which I find most informative and interesting.

Skas Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'll be ordering Steal This Computer Book 4.0: What They Won't Tell You about the Internet tomorrow morning, and definitely look forward to it. Does anyone have any other suggestions in the book department? I like to read, and it never hurts to get away from the computer for a few hours; however, solid suggestions on decent reads seem hard to find, or I'm failing miserably at google.

Skas Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I did the cheap thing and just borrowed it from my university's library :P makes sense; however, I like buying books, kinda nice to know I can highlight, dog-ear, spill coffee or whatever and not get crap for it. I also like being able loan books to friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
