Hacking or trying to hack something

Eighty Fourth Post: Hacking or trying to hack something

The book series Hacking Exposed are one of the first books to put actual hacking into a do it yourself guide. Other books on hacking give you history and some old stories but lack on the “how to.”

Though it covers ways to hack it is more designed on explaining how to defend the users own computer. Often the methods of attack leave the question of there being a better way to accomplish the same task. For example when looking to bypass user passwords. It gives the method of password guessing. There has to be a better method than password guessing or a computer would never be hacked in the first place.

But what the book lacks in techniques it makes up for with resources on the web that really teach about the computer. And the user can learn a lot if they take the time to do research. But this book is mainly for learning computer defense from hackers. This is not a “how to” guide on attacking someone else’s computer.

Also, I may be adding a video on math to Constructors Corner. It will be about a unsolved problem. I have seen video classes over the net and decided: Hey I can make one of those. My only problem is bandwidth. I am uploading using dial-up. So stay posted to Constructors Corner and May the Creative Force be with you.
