Everyone is besieged by a nonstop cyber-crime wave that victimizes millions of people and businesses each year. And trouble usually starts with a click.
In just the next 24 hours:
Scammers will target the public with 94 billion emails
Hackers will seize and hold 88,000 computers for ransom
Identity thieves will impersonate 35,000 people
How we handle our online security is critical to protecting our personal and professional lives. But guidance for staying safe has been fragmented and confusing--until now.
Hack-Proof Your Life Now demystifies the topic and introduces you to the New Cybersecurity Rules--clear, sensible, and do-able actions that will quickly improve your security.
Can anyone really be safe and secure online? Yes, there is a way to quickly shut down hackers, thieves, and identity scammers and enjoy good online security, say authors Sean M. Bailey and Devin Kropp. They contend that anyone can dramatically boost their online security by taking a handful of inexpensive and easy-to-accomplish actions.
Their book begins by asking the reader to measure his or her online security with a 10-question cybersecurity quiz. Nearly everyone scores poorly. But that changes quickly as the authors introduce the New Cybersecurity Rules, a set of 15 principles organized around three mindsets that must be cultivated in order to achieve higher security:
Secrecy. Email addresses, passwords, credit files, Social Security numbers, and other personal information need greater levels of protection. Governments and private companies have done a miserable job guarding personal data. Only individual actions can limit exposure to hackers' data breaches. The authors offer eight secrecy-boosting rules, including this one: Stop using a personal email address for online banking and credit accounts. It's too easily stolen. Instead, create a financial-only email account to use exclusively for finances. That limits exposure to just a few secure places on the Internet where the financial-only email resides, making it harder for hackers to scoop up and exploit.
Omniscience. Just like the financial services industry, consumers must use technology to become "financially all-knowing" and monitor--in real time-- personal banking and credit matters. By placing one's self at the center of online security (a key theme of the book), everyone can rest assured that identity thieves aren't quietly stealing their money or ruining their credit. One recommended omniscience rule: Set up notifications on banking and credit cards to instantly become aware whenever cash leaves any accounts or when credit is charged. It's a way to instantly spot fraud or identity theft, a solid protection to have at no extra cost.
Mindfulness. Enacting the New Cybersecurity Rules instills a stronger security mindset, the authors tell us. But how can it be maintained? Safety degrades without permanent changes to computer behaviors and security awareness. But the hackers never sleep. Even the best protected inbox will still receive a few dangerous emails. What to do? The authors suggest their 10-Second EMAIL Rule, an easy to remember mnemonic for staying mindful of avoiding malicious links. EMAIL stands for "Examine Message and Inspect Links" and shows how to spot and unmask dangerous blackmail spam and identity theft malware. It's a Zen-like practice that can benefit everyone every time they check their email.

Описание: At first, it seemed like a small story. The royal correspondent of the News of the World was caught listening in on Buckingham Palace voice mails. He was quietly sent to prison and the case was closed. But Nick Davies felt sure there was a lot more going on.
Learn how to hack Get the scoop on the secret techniques that the professional hackers are using today
Protect yourself and your identity by learning hacking techniques. A must-have book
Hacking for Beginners contains proven steps and strategies on how to change computer hardware and software to achieve an objective which is beyond the maker's original concept.
So what is hacking?
Hacking is also termed as penetration testing which is aimed to determine the various security vulnerabilities of a system or program to secure it better. Hacking is in fact the art of discovering diverse security cracks.
Hacking has been in existence for many years. In fact, it has been practiced since the creation of the first computer programs and applications. Hacking is originally intended to safeguard and protect the integrity of IT systems, rather than destroy or cause such systems harm. That is the initial and most important goal of hacking, as it was conceived. Hackers or ethical hackers do just that-protect computer systems and applications.
Hacking is actually very easy and can be achieved by ordinary mortals like you, given that you have a computer and access to the internet. Learning to hack is actually the most exciting game you can ever play. As long as you do it within the bounds of law and ethics, it can provide you with recreation, education and skills that can qualify you for a high-paying job.
Hacking as it is discussed in this book shall be based on the concept of ethical hacking and by no means encourages cracking. Should you use the guide and concepts you will learn from this book for illegal activities, then that would be at your own risk. Nonetheless, the guides you will learn here are intended to provide you with a healthy recreation and as long as you practice it on your own computer or on a friend's (with their permission), you will be well on your way to learning the secrets of hacking that professional hackers are using today.
Here is a quick preview of what you will learn....

Описание: Inside the life of a hacker and cybercrime culture. Public discourse, from pop culture to political rhetoric, portrays hackers as deceptive, digital villains. But what do we actually know about them? In Hacked, Kevin F. Steinmetz explores what it means to be a hacker and the nuances of hacker culture. Through extensive interviews with hackers, observations of hacker communities, and analyses of hacker cultural products, Steinmetz demystifies the figure of the hacker and situates the practice of hacking within the larger political and economic structures of capitalism, crime, and control.This captivating book challenges many of the common narratives of hackers, suggesting that not all forms of hacking are criminal and, contrary to popular opinion, the broader hacker community actually plays a vital role in our information economy. Hacked thus explores how governments, corporations, and other institutions attempt to manage hacker culture through the creation of ideologies and laws that protect powerful economic interests. Not content to simply critique the situation, Steinmetz ends his work by providing actionable policy recommendations that aim to redirect the focus from the individual to corporations, governments, and broader social issues. A compelling study, Hacked helps us understand not just the figure of the hacker, but also digital crime and social control in our high-tech society.
Описание: The Hacker Ethos is a condensed, easy-to-read guidebook on the subject of Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing, the legal procedure for testing computer security by simulating real cyber attacks. Written by an expert in Computer Science and Information Security with ten years of experience in his field at the time of writing, The Hacker Ethos was specifically designed to be put in the hands of the beginner-level hacker, IT professional, and hopeful IT security researcher. This book covers the fundamental concepts of computer science and introduces the core knowledge that is required by all security professionals in the IT industry. The primary goal of the book is to instill what is known as the "Hacker Ethic" into the reader, a philosophy based on the ideal of free information, knowledge, and speech. Its very foundation is the principle of what it means to be a true hacker, an expert in computers at the most primal level, ready to explore new concepts and techniques without ever losing the hunger for knowledge. The reader is encouraged to understand that Hacking is not easy, not is it a singular concept. It encompasses a vast library, covering every field of technology that includes programming, exploitation, web security and design, application security, viruses and malware, networking, wireless technology, telecommunication, phone technology, cellular technology, robotics, and everything that can be classified under the school of computing. Hackers are jacks of all trades, masters of none, but always striving to become so. Contained in this book are the topics of hacker ethics, and details the unwritten law of the Hacker Underground. It casts a bright spotlight on the Hacker Mythos, the subculture of hacking, and dispels the mystique of the Deep Web. It teaches the core techniques of hacking, and what is known as the Hacker Methodology, the list of techniques used my professional security testers and cyber-criminals alike to attack their targets. It teaches critical research techniques, heavily emphasizing self-study, and provides dozens of free resources on the various subjects and schools of hacking, including: programming, web hacking, service and application exploitation, malware development, password cracking, Denial-of-Service, Wireless and physical network penetration, cryptography. Lastly, the book provides a massive toolkit of professional and privately used hacking tools, all completely free, and teaches the reader how to acquire new tools for themselves. This book has been hailed by readers as "the best and easiest beginner's guide to hacking of the millennium," meticulously having collected and organized every necessary tool, technique, and tutorial that beginners of the IT Security field absolutely must know. Its primary lesson is "teach you how to teach yourself," an invaluable skill that drives the field of technology and security more than any other. That a hacker who cannot learn on his own will never last. This book requires strong dedication and an insatiable desire to learn. Make no mistake, its contents will not be simple by any means, as much as it strives to make them easy to understand. There is no "hacking tools that does it all" and there is no magic trick to learning everything. Should you choose to continue, be prepared to adopt the true meaning of The Hacker Ethos, our creed: Information is meant to be free for everyone. Privacy is a right, hard earned; not a commodity, cheaply bought. Censorship is a tyranny delivered by silence. The Internet embodies freedom. Immerse yourself in it. Never stop learning; never stop teaching. Don't learn to hack; hack to learn. "We Are All Alike" Good luck on your Journey, - True Demon
