Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution

 This 25th anniversary edition of Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers -- those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early '80s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers.

Levy profiles the imaginative brainiacs who found clever and unorthodox solutions to computer engineering problems. They had a shared sense of values, known as "the hacker ethic," that still thrives today. Hackers captures a seminal period in recent history when underground activities blazed a trail for today's digital world, from MIT students finagling access to clunky computer-card machines to the DIY culture that spawned the Altair and the Apple II.

Secrets of a Super Hacker

Once more, Loompanics publishes something other houses wouldn't: a guide to violating computer security. Covering hacking scenarios ranging from the merely mischievous to the criminal, the super hacker known as the Knightmare gives step-by-step instructions in meaningful hacking from a personal computer. Fortunately, he also includes a section on state and federal computer laws, allowing potential hackers to be cognizant of the sanctions they risk with any particular project. Appendixes offer an array of technical explanations and tips for understanding database and system structures; tips cover password divination and searching strategies; and a glossary, besides explaining terms likely to be encountered in any particular documentation being hacked, enhances the hacker's ability to share experiences and tips. As science outstrips society's control of information, systems of secretkeeping proliferate maddeningly. Yet with this book, the keyboard jockey can enter all sorts of "secure" systems, databases, and records; and a hacker-security chapter explains both why hacking is a valuable and useful activity and--equally important because entering and altering systems without clearance is generally illegal--how to avoid getting caught.
