Hacker Cracker: A Journey from the Mean Streets of Brooklyn to the Frontiers of Cyberspace

Book Description

Like other kids in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, Ejovi Nuwere grew up among thugs and drug dealers. When he was eleven, he helped form a gang; at twelve, he attempted suicide. In his large, extended family, one uncle was a career criminal, one a graduate student with his own computer. By the time Ejovi was fourteen, he was spending as much time on the computer as his uncle was. Within a year he was well on his way to a hacking career that would lead him to one of the most audacious and potentially dangerous computer break-ins of all time, secret until now.

Before he finished high school he had created a hidden life in the hacker underground and an increasingly prominent career as a computer security consultant. At the age of twenty-two, he was a top security specialist for one of the world's largest financial houses.

Download Description

One of the most gripping yet improbable stories spawned by the computer revolution, Hacker Cracker is a classic American-dream success story set on the razor edge of high technology. Ejovi Nuwere takes the reader on the roller-coaster ride of his extraordinary life, from the bullet-riddled, drugged-out streets of one of America's most notorious ghettos to a virtual world where identities shift and paranoia rules, where black-hat hackers and white-hat sleuths confront each other by day and witch roles at night in the ongoing war to control America's most sensitive computer systems. It is a story of an African American boy coming of age in the new millennium, a story that vibrates with the themes of American life, those we know and those we are just beginning to glimpse. Like other neighborhood kids in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, Ejovi Nuwere grew up among thugs and drug dealers. When he was eleven, he helped form a gang; when he was twelve, oppressed by the violence around him, he attempted suicide. In his large, extended family, one uncle was a career criminal, one a graduate student with his own computer. By the time Ejovi was fourteen, he was spending as much time on the computer as his uncle in college was. Within a year he was well on his way to a hacking career that would lead him to one of the most audacious and potentially dangerous computer break-ins of all time, secret until now.

I think even my mother would like this book!.......2005-06-17

The first part of the book deals entirely with the authors plight of growing up in a very rough area of town and the struggles that he faces with on a day to day basis. Apart from the first 4 or 5 pages, which contained a fast moving account of what happens when a rogue Chief Technology Officer gets sacked, for the first 71 pages I was wondering whether a differnet book had been slipped inside the jacket of hacker cracker as there was no mention of computers at all. The story was still pretty interesting though. Eventually he gets round to his first experience with computers and his encounters with hacking and the addictiveness of it all. Eventually the story ends up with a moving account of being at the site of the twin towers on 9/11 and a very touching part about a strange whistling noise (which I won't explain as it is a bit of a spoiler). An easy read and not really the usual hacker biography type book. I think this is partly due to the fact that the author is assuming his readers are not technical as some of the explanations (IRC for example) are very basic and some are almost "media stereotypical assumptions" of what really goes on.
As the theme of the book is the struggle to overcome and make life a lot better for his family, the target audience for this book is increased beyond the geek and I think even my mother would like this book!

Intercity computer whiz-kid(pretty good book).......2004-02-17

Ejovi Nuwere is from Bedford Stuyvesant a neighborhood in brooklyn he comes from somewhat of a brokenhome doesnot really know his father and has a mother who does just about anything in the world for her children but she is a drug addict and has Aids he lives with his grandmother uncle and brother and numerous others that hang out at his grandmothers apartment were something is always going on.

He faces the struggles most other intercity kids face with the gangs,drugs poverty and violence but he seems to pick up on the fact that the gangs and drugs are a losing way to go.In one part of the book while he attend a school for the performing arts he ends up joining a gang just for his own protection but it seem a somewhat differant type of gang besides the violence they where teaching the members. While in school he had a few brushes with some basic IBM computer but when he hooked up with the principal and asst. principal who had apple mac he started to develop a real interest in computer and this interest was fed by the uncle who also lived with who had a computer and would let Ejovi many 10-14 hour days on.
Along with another computer hacker he had met in school they begin getting into hacker chat rooms and learning and developing their skills and trying to make a name as is the thing to do in the hacker community.With his knowledge and desire to succede he ends starting to get jobs while still a teenager and as time goes on decides that full time may not be the way to go one thing for sure it does not pay the bills
Alot of the computer hacking involves stolen credit cards and manufactured cards one story when Ejovi couldnot stand it and decided to buy his own computer with a stolen number and has the computer delivered to a run down building nextdoor and the FBI ends up coming was pretty funny story.

This is a pretty good book about somebody having the drive and desire to succcede even living in tough and living through tough conditions and making it along the way he also takes up a form of kung fu.It was a little difficult at times understanding some of the computer stuff for a novice like me but there are definitions in the back of the book and he describes thing pretty good.

American Dream Story.......2004-02-14

This is an amazing story of a young man who goes from nothing to something, using technology. After reading this I was inspired to do something with my life!

Book Description

One of the most gripping yet improbable stories spawned by the computer revolution, Hacker Crocker is a classic American-dream success story set on the razor edge of high technology. Ejovi Nuwere takes the reader on the roller-coaster ride of his extraordinary life, from the bullet-riddled, drugged-out streets of one of America's most notorious ghettos to a virtual world where identities shift and paranoia rules, where black-hat hackers and white-hat sleuths confront each other by day and switch roles at night in the ongoing war to control America's most sensitive computer systems. It is a story of an African American boy coming of age in the new millennium, a story that vibrates with the themes of American life, those we know and those we are just beginning to glimpse.

Like other neighborhood kids in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, Ejovi Nuwere grew up among thugs and drug dealers. When he was eleven, he helped form a gang; when he was twelve, oppressed by the violence around him, he attempted suicide. In his large, extended family, one uncle was a career criminal, one a graduate student with his own computer.

Within a year he was well on his way to a hacking career that would lead him to one of the most audacious and potentially dangerous computer break-ins of all time, secret until now.

Along the way, Ejovi found time to become a kickboxing champion and an aspiring actor. Before he finished high school he was combining these pursuits with his hidden life in the hacker underground and an increasingly prominent career as a computer security consultant. At the age of twenty-two he was a top security specialist for one of the world's largest financial houses when his life was forever altered in the cataclysm of September 11, 2001.

Hacker Cracker is at once the most candid revelation to date of the dark secrets of cyberspace and the simple, unaffected story of an inner-city child's triumph over shattering odds to achieve unparalleled success. This riveting autobiography is a Horatio Alger tale for our times: a thrilling, frightening, and ultimately uplifting story of survival and accomplishment.

Customer Reviews:

Not too bad.......2007-01-02

The beginning of the book is a bit boring. If you love reading biography of "a person", it's probably a good time killer. If you are looking for something exciting underground, keep looking, this book is not suitable.

Fun to remember but no substance.......2004-08-10

Hacker Cracker. Just the name caught my eye and so I bought it thinking it would be a similar to Masters of Deception or Mitnick story, but it wasn't. The entire book is just Mr. Nuwere recounting his exploits from America Online to large corporations, throwing in a good bit about the mean streets of New York, and rounding out (literally) with some non-relevant martial arts. After reading it I was really let down. I was looking for something a little more definitive about computer security, the evolution of it from the time he was a kid to now, etc. Sad to say Masters of Deception was a better book than this but nothing will ever come close to the writing talent, intrigue, and plain storytelling than Cliff Stoll's book the Cuckoo's Egg. Maybe in twenty years if Mr. Nuwere wrote another book and explained what he's learned after spending some time OUT of the mean streets then perhaps it'd be a better book. Right now it's just a feel good made for TV movie.

Why bother?.......2004-07-15

Insipid. When I saw this book I was interested by it seeing that Ejovi Nuwere was from Brooklyn where I grew up. Sounded like a good story...I'll read it I said.
Well, I was very disappointed. The book might as well be titled "My pride in leaving the inner-city and becoming a proto-yuppie". The writing of the book is at the level of Sports Illustrated for Kids and the depth of the book rises to a level little higher than Britney Spears pop music. Yes, he was from the 'hood but there is no emotion in his writing, no grit. The characters in his life seem plastic and secondary...certainly they are not, but Ejovi relegated them to this role so he could tell his American Dream how to become a content yuppie story. Let's hear more about the thoughts of his mother, his uncle, his brother, his neighborhood. Or perhaps this is too much to ask of him... Did he even know what was going on in the world or was he too plugged into his own egotistical cyber world that he did not live in the real world? As he said, he had a choice...to turn outward and be bad or turn inward and be essentially a reclusive person. What a choice...just imagine if Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X said that. Well, Ejovi turned inward and this self-centerdness is evident in this book.
If you want to learn about life in the inner-city pick up Sanyika Shakur's autobiography "Monster" or a Tupac Shakur CD, but please don't bother with this soulless, puerile book.

Nice try but doesn't come through.......2004-02-16

It attempts to be great but really nothing interesting. Mostly about his growing up in the bronx and if he does talk about computers then you have to know computer to know what he's talking about. I t tries to be good but fails because it's to much of a survey of his life in stead of a telling of it. skim over it if you can find it in your library but don't bother paying to read it because you'll surely be disappointed.

Highly recommended by Charles Washington.......2003-08-01

A co-worker recommeded that I read this book, and, honestly, I did not have very high expectations. Much to my surprise, I found the book nearly impossible to put down. It is an intriguing tale of a boy who spends his days learning the ins and outs of "hacking". He is also forced to cope with the hardships of inner city life and with the fact that his mother is dying of AIDS. The book is hard to follow at times, especially for those who are not well-versed in computer terminology, but it still a worthwile read.

From the book (page 353).......2005-08-12

From the book:
Widespread hunger continues to exist at the turn of the century, despite the efforts of scores of international relief organizations. Why? The authors of this book draw on both research and their firsthand field experience to explore the use of huger as a weapon in food crises around the world. They also discuss strategies to counter inequitable food distribution in complex, manipulative situations and review food policies to combat hunger and attain food justice. Founded in 1979 to fight against hunger and advocate for the legal right to food, Action Against Hunger is one of the leading international organizations working to assist victims of man-made famines.

Book Description

Geomorphology: A Canadian Perspective is a comprehensive text designed for use by undergraduate students at a variety of levels. Although it has a very strong emphasis on Canadian topics and examples, the material is not exclusively Canadian. This includes coverage of coral, mangrove, and tropical karst for example. Some parts of the book may be too advanced for some students at the introductory and service course levels, but they will be useful to students and instructors at more advanced levels, and to those instructors who want to expose undergraduates to the scientific aspects of process geomorphology at the junior levels. An extensive glossary explains the meaning of terms that may be unfamiliar to the beginning students, while providing a text for the more experienced reader that is not burdened with too many definitions. There is also a fairly lengthy list of references at the back of the book, with a strong bias to more recent work.

Book Description

The recent development of high power lasers, delivering femtosecond pulses of intensities up to 10 ²⁰ W/cm ², has led to the discovery of new phenomena in laser interactions with matter. At these enormous laser intensities, atoms and molecules are exposed to extreme conditions and new phenomena occur, such as very rapid multiphoton ionization of the atomic system, the emission by these systems of very high order harmonics of the exciting laser light, the Coulomb explosion of molecules, and the acceleration of electrons close to the velocity of light. These phenomena generate new behaviour of bulk matter in intense laser fields, with great potential for wide ranging applications which include the study of ultra-fast process, the development of high-frequency lasers and the investigation of the properties of plasmas and condensed matter under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. In particular, the concept of `fast ignitor' approach to inertial confinement fusion (I.C.F.) has been proposed, which is based on the separation of the compression and the ignition phases in laser-driven ICF.
The papers published in this book cover all the main aspects of laser interactions with atoms, solids and plasmas at high intensities. We hope that they will provide scientists from various disciplines with a comprehensive survey of the subject, and a self-contained source from which to pursue a systematic study of the field.

Book Description

This book provides a throrough introduction to the interaction of atoms and atomic ions with optical and magnetic fields. The author places particular emphasis on the wealth of important multilevel effects, where atomic vapors exhibit anisotropic behavior. As well as covering the classic two-level atom approach to light-atom interactions, Suter describes in detail a general multilevel formalism, which he uses to discuss optical pumping, two-dimensional spectroscopy and nonlinear optical dynamics. The final chapter deals with the mechanical effects of light, including the cooling and trapping of atoms. With full theoretical and experimental coverage, and over 250 illustrations, the book will be of great interest to graduate students of laser spectroscopy, quantum electronics and quantum optics, and to researchers in these fields.

Amazon.com

Adrian Mole is balding, he's bitter, and he's back, this time at age 30. Though he may be older, Sue Townsend's comic creation is certainly no wiser. With his marriage to a Nigerian beauty in tatters, he passes his time dreaming of old flame Pandora Braithwaite, now a shining star in Tony Blair's new government. But underneath the layers of experience and sophistication, fans of the Mole family will find the same dysfunctional mess that made The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 an instant bestseller. This diarist's young son is being brought up by his mother in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, his 16-year-old sister has left home to live with her multiply pierced boyfriend, and his father is bed-bound with manic depression. Adrian himself still makes constant lists of juvenile neuroses, and spends an unhealthy amount of time grading his penile performance (only when he reaches the bleak score of zero out of 10 does he finally take action).

And what of his career? The hero of The Cappuccino Years works at Soho's Hoi Polloi restaurant, rustling up deliberately grubby blue-collar cuisine, from "Heinz tomato soup (with white bread floaters)" to "Boiled cabbage avec Dan Quayle Potatoes." At a certain point, he's spotted by a cable producer and ends up starring in a television show celebrating offal--yes, it's called Offally Good. Yet even Adrian is somewhat perplexed by his culinary gifts:

My mother's family (Norfolk) were practically illiterate, and seemed to live on boiled potatoes with HP sauce, and my father's family (Leicester) viewed books with deep suspicion, unless they had pictures which "broke up the pages." My paternal grandmother, May Mole, was a plain cook, who regarded eating as a gross indulgence. Thank God she died before I became a professional chef. It was her proud boast that she had never eaten in a proper restaurant in her life. She spoke of restaurants as others speak of crack dens.

As the above should make clear, Townsend's acerbic (and very English) wit is still much in evidence. Occasionally she'll go to corny lengths for a joke: "I arrived at the Brent Cross shopping centre car-park, to find that my car had been towed away five days ago and was in a police compound somewhere in Purley. A £25 cab ride took me to the Purley gates." True Mole fanatics, however, will forgive Townsend her infrequent excesses. Accessible, amusing, and appealing, The Cappuccino Years reflects an Adrian who has tolerated the growing pains and survived the lost years. Now he's ready to face the only really important question: Is it cheating to use Viagra? --Lucie Naylor

Book Description

The further adventures of the master mole.

In his latest confessional diary, Adrian, now thirty, is separated from his exotic and accomplished Nigerian wife, and is a single parent to his three-year-old son. He works as a cook in a smart London restaurant that specializes in repulsive working-class food. When, to his surprise, he finds he has an older son as well, he takes responsibility and finally learns to cope.

The usual biting satire from an entertaining author.......2007-07-09

Having been a fan of the series since early teens I knew what to expect from this book - sharp wit, entertaining observations on contemporary society and a neurotic protagonist who is like bad wine - he's not aging well at all. And that's exactly what I got. Sue Townsend is a keen observer of life around her and uses Adrian Mole to put common social mores into sharp relief as he observes with the true eye of an outsider. The book is funny and heartwrenching all at the same time. You feel for Adrian but at the same time you want to grab him by the shoulders and shake him for his utter denseness with the world around him. However that said I really noticed this book was part of a series, there was nothing earthshaking or new. This is just an entertaining read that requires some knowledge of the character's growth to really understand their motivations and behaviours. Once finished you'll feel you've gone on a journey to a place you weren't sure you wanted to be, but you feel better for it.

Physically 30, emotionally still 13 3/4..........2006-11-06

I finally got to the end of my Adrian Mole stash with the book Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years by Sue Townsend. While I enjoyed the read, it's probably best that I'm moving on to something else now. I think that reading all of the installments back to back was a bit much...

Adrian is 30 now, and still has the emotions and mind of an adolescent. That doesn't work so well however, when you're supporting two kids that are yours from a couple of affairs in the past. Couple that with being broke, without much of a job, and still living with the parents, and you're not looking at a terribly successful person. Even when good things *do* happen to Adrian, such as getting his own TV show and book deal, they get messed up. The sidekick becomes the star, and his mom ends up having to write the book to bail him out. Still told in diary format, you get the day-to-day emotions and angst of Adrian's struggle against the perceived injustices done to him.

I didn't find this one quite as funny and engaging as the others. Perhaps it's because these failings at 13 are funny, and at 30 they're the sign of someone who doesn't have too much common sense. Still, I kept turning pages to see what train wreck was about to befall those around him. Suggestion however... If you haven't read any of the Mole diaries, don't start here. Start at the beginning, or most of this will make little sense.

Laughing in my car like a maniac.......2006-02-01

I just listened to the Recorded Books book-on-CD version of this novel, the first I'd read in this series. I laughed and laughed! I can't wait to read the rest.

Adrian Grows Up.......2003-08-17

A fitting tribute to Aidrian age 30. Absolutely hilarious. Adrian has physically matured and has managed to father two children but is still grappling with the same issues he did when he was 13 and 3/4. His family are as dysfunctional as ever and his yearning passion for the gorgeous Pandora has been excacerbated by the fact that she is now the new labour candidate for Ashby De La Zouch in Leics.
A definite must for all Adrian Mole fans - Can Adrian overcome his fears and trepidations and make his sons proud of him?

'Offal'ly unputdownable...a little depressing though.......2002-08-15

I love Adrian Mole, he's awesome. I have read every Mole diary since the 13-3/4th book and I'm truly amazed at how Ms.Townsend has so wonderfully captured the mind of the underdog male in her writing. The whole concept seems quite similar to the excellent TV series 'The Wonder Years'. If you dont look at the author's name, you would probably not expect it to be a woman. In other words, she seems to have fully understood the mind of the opposite sex. That said, I found this book to be a little too depressing albeit there is a lot of humour. Of course you have got to read the first book at least, if not all of them to understand what is going on in this one. There are lots of references to characters from earlier diaries. They are so interesting and yet so down-to-earth that they almost become a part of your life. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because I don't like how the author projects Adrian as a loser at many things. His family is still as dysfunctional as ever. I'm not going to give away anything as to how Adrian does in the end. But the story could do with a little more cheer. Anyway, its a thoroughly enjoyable book and worth the money.

Product Description

Sue Townsend was Britains best-selling author of the 80s with her hilarious creation, Adrian Moles diaries. Her novels are still highly successful, with Adrian continuing to suffer trials and tribulations galore. Its 1997. Adrian, 30, is a chef at an up-market restaurant, selling down-market food for ridiculous prices. There, the only person who seems to notice he cant cook is AA Gill. But problems abound when, in a fit of madness, he agrees to become a TV chef on the show Offally Good. Yet some things dont change. Adrians still profoundly in love with Pandora, now an MP; his parents marriage is in trouble; and Sharon Bott, spectre of the past, returns to haunt the traumatised Adrian, who has enough on his plate as it is.
