If ever a book on cyberculture wore a fedora and trench coat and leaned against a lamppost on a foggy street, this is the one. It is an unabashed look at the dark side of the Net--the stuff many other books gloss over. It's hard-edged, wisecracking, and often quite cynical as it pours over the reality of online scams, illegal activities, and simple annoyances.

Wang's stated goal is to open the reader's eyes about what's really there. He shows what's being done, how it's being done, and how to avoid problems or even strike back. He begins with a chapter about the news media, and his message is that no source is to be trusted completely. He examines issues important to Internet users: the cost of getting computerized (with tips on how to find the real bargains), who is using the Internet as a source of hate information, and how your privacy can be invaded and protected.

He shows you the secrets of malicious hackers and others and how some of them attack computer systems without the ethical mindset typical of the original, idealistic hackers. Wang shows you how you can set up your defenses against such an onslaught, discussing how to protect yourself and your kids from online stalkers and how online con games work.

Wang never claims that the Internet is the electronic den of darkness that the pop media make it out to be. But he makes it clear that something this big has its lowlights--it's own "net noir." His messages are "know your enemy" and "be careful who you trust," an ideology verified by the examples he provides. --Elizabeth Lewis

Book Description

National bestseller with over 175,000 copies sold!

If you thought hacking was just about mischief-makers hunched over computers in the basement, think again. As seasoned author Wallace Wang explains, hacking can also mean questioning the status quo, looking for your own truths, and never accepting at face value anything authorities say or do.

The completely revised fourth edition of this offbeat, non-technical book examines what hackers do, how they do it, and how you can protect yourself. Written in the same informative, irreverent, and entertaining style that made the first three editions hugely successful, Steal This Computer Book 4.0 will expand your mind and raise your eyebrows. New chapters discuss the hacker mentality, social engineering and lock picking, exploiting P2P file-sharing networks, and how people manipulate search engines and pop-up ads to obtain and use personal information. Wang also takes issue with the media for "hacking" the news and presenting the public with self-serving stories of questionable accuracy. Inside, you'll discover:

  • How to manage and fight spam and spyware
  • How Trojan horse programs and rootkits work, and how to defend against them
  • How hackers steal software and defeat copy-protection mechanisms
  • How to tell if your machine is being attacked and what you can do to protect it
  • Where the hackers are, how they probe a target and sneak into a computer, and what they do once they get inside
  • How corporations use hacker techniques to infect your computer and invade your privacy
  • How you can lock down your computer to protect your data and your personal information using free programs included on the book's CD If you ve ever logged onto a website, conducted an online transaction, sent or received email, used a networked computer, or even watched the evening news, you may have already been tricked, tracked, hacked, and manipulated. As the saying goes, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you. And, as Wallace Wang reveals, they probably are. The companion CD contains hundreds of megabytes of 100% FREE hacking and security-related programs, like keyloggers, spyware stoppers, port blockers, IP scanners, Trojan horse detectors, and much, much more. CD compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.

    4 out of 5 stars This Book Is Basic. But very informative........2007-08-26

    If you are looking to hack this book is for you. I found that visual basic is a good programming language. C++,Python,Java, and many more langs will have hacks. Its up to you to learn how to write them. You must learn the programming language before you start looking at hacking, because other wise you are wasting your time.Many hackers are self driven and want to create programs and discover flaws in programs. It is my personal experience that you will not find every thing you want to know from one book. If you are seriously into Networking and Security i sugeset learning from some one who will teach you and offers classes on it (this would be hands on learning) EcCouncil is a great reference and will teach you a lot.

    3 out of 5 stars Basic information.......2007-01-04

    It's not bad, it just too basic. For some reason I had the expectation that it would be a more deep book about hacking.

    3 out of 5 stars Good overview.......2006-12-13

    Good overview of network security from a very social perspective. If you are looking for tools based methodology this book misses the mark.

    If you are interested in social engineering and social trends of hacking, this is right on.

    I felt the book started off fairly strong but started to decline as the focus went more and more into social impacts of hacktivism.

    5 out of 5 stars Provides Concise Details.......2006-09-22

    This book provides some pretty concise details for 370 pages. It's very pratical and entertaining to read. The writing style gives you a feeling of mysteriousness. However, the writer's insights are disputable; you may not agree with all of the comments he has on things. Of course that doesn't change the fact this book provides a lot of details on several internet topics one little book.

    2 out of 5 stars Am I Missing Something?.......2006-08-28

    I don't understand the appeal of this book.

    I've been around the internet phenomenon in one form or another for almost 20 years. I'm conversant with the history of many technical and cultural happenings on it. As a result, I'm probably not the best reader for an 'shocking truths' book because none of it is going to shock me.

    I read this book thinking I might come across a few clever tactics I'd not heard of, and because it has been marketed as cynical and funny writing. We had a copy of Rube Goldberg's Steal This Book in the house when I was young, so I was hoping for something in that vein too.

    Honestly, I struck out on all three. There wasn't anything new for me, which was fine. I didn't find the humor lame or bad. As a matter of fact, I simply didn't find it. Am I not reading it right? And finally, the irreverent I was looking forward to...well, I'm not entirely sure it's possible in this context. The book didn't deliver that premise for me, but I'm not sure it can really be done anymore. That time and those circumstances in our culture are different from this time and these circumstances.

    Someone who is idly curious about how the internet "really works," likes a long read, and can get into being entertained on the topic might enjoy this book. For me however it was flatly informative, sometimes a little forced, and simply not a funny piece of writing.

    Book Description

    Steal This File Sharing Book tackles the thorny issue of file sharing networks such as Kazaa, Morpheus, and Usenet. It explains how these networks work and how to use them. It exposes the dangers of using file sharing networks--including viruses, spyware, and lawsuits--and tells how to avoid them.

    In addition to covering how people use file sharing networks to share everything from music and video files to books and pornography, it also reveals how people use them to share secrets and censored information banned by their governments. Includes coverage of the ongoing battle between the software, video, and music pirates and the industries that are trying to stop them.

    3 out of 5 stars Steal This Resource Book.......2005-08-02

    Almost 90% of the information I found in this book can be found online in a matter of minutes from any major news source. All the concepts presented are basic in design and offer no technical explanation on how to do anything. The only positive points I saw in this book was it's website references. There are hundreds of websites listed with further information and software on every topic of file sharing and other copyright enigmas. It's decent for a beginner in file sharing to understand the basics. For everyone else, it makes for good reference material to find the information you were hoping to get from the book.

    4 out of 5 stars Everything You Want to Know.......2005-04-09

    Wang's other book (Steal This Computer Book) explored the "dark underbelly" of the 'Net and this book in effect picks up where the other book leaves off. You can debate whether or not file sharing is legal and ethical, but no one can deny it is here to stay. Not only does Wang explain where to find files (at places like file sharing networks, newsgroups, chat rooms, etc.), he also describes ways to stay anonymous while doing so. There are also chapters on file formats, sharing music, movies, TV shows, even software, video games and the most popular item, pornography.

    I find it interesting speaking of porn that porn producers seem to have found ways to deal with this issue and yet the "establishment" still feels the best way to fight it is through legal action. The book's last two chapters describe the future of file sharing and how the entertainment industries continue to fight back. They may try copy protection schemes, but it seems there's always someone who finds a way to defeat those schemes.

    Regardless of how you feel about this issue, this is a well-written and informative book, written in the same spirit of Steal This Computer Book.

    2 out of 5 stars only for newbies.......2005-03-09

    I got almost nothing out of this book. I've been file-sharing for about two months. The worst is that the book is totally out of date; it has almost nothing about bittorrent which has taken over the file-sharing world.

    I would only get this book for someone who is new not just to file-sharing, but to the internet in general. Even then it is only good as an introduction to general concepts; there is little useful detailed technical information.

    5 out of 5 stars Everything you need, and the RIAA doesn't want you, to know.......2005-02-28

    I love Wallace Wang's Steal This Computer Book 3. In this book, Wang takes his best-selling knowledge and writing style and focuses it on a new subject- sharing files.

    I learned a lot in the opening section. I have been familiar with peer-to-peer (P2P) networking since the advent of Napster, but I was not aware that such a wide variety of sources existed for finding and sharing files. Wang points out web sites, FTP sites, instant messaging and chat rooms and more where you can share files.

    Even better than that, he doesn't just list sites, but rather provides in-depth analysis of many, explaining what is good or bad about the different resources and pitfalls to watch out for. He also includes many graphic illustrations which help you understand the information better.

    This book sheds light on a number of "fringe" file sharing tools and resources. The mainstream is familiar with the likes of Kazaa and Morpheus, but Wang delves into many more tools. He points out some of the things to watch out for when using some of the shadier tools and networks as well.

    The RIAA and MPAA may not like it, but in some way, shape or form, file sharing is here to stay and this book will help you find what you need and use file sharing securely.

    5 out of 5 stars Information packed, great resource.......2005-02-06

    Whether it's music, programs, games, books or other files it seems that everyone is downloading something over the Internet these days. If you want to know how to find the files you want and download them safely then you will be interested in this book.

    The author covers a wide array of places to find files including newsgroups, websites, Instant Messenger, Internet Relay Chat, FTP, and networks that are designed specifically for file sharing such as Gnutella, FastTrack, and eDonkey. One of the most interesting parts for the average computer user is the one with information on how to remain anonymous when sharing files. Of course, this section also includes information on the problems of file sharing - viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, adware, and even warez.

    I've traded files and worked on the Internet for years and I still learned a few tips in this book. The author includes lots of illustrations and specific web sites where you can download the programs he mentions as well as several alternative ones. Mr. Wang even provides a complete analysis of each program's advantages and disadvantages. One of the things I really like is the fact that he includes information on programs you should be careful downloading and using including Fast Track clients that come loaded with spyware like Kazaa and iMesh.

    If you don't like AIM he even covers Private Internet Messenger products like Meet Gate, P2P Instant Messenger, and Pal Talk. The breadth of coverage is impressive, the writing and organization excellent. Steal This File-Sharing Book is highly recommended to anyone who shares files over the Internet.

    4 out of 5 stars For traders with Microsoft Excel experience........2002-02-17

    I think this book is targeted towards discretionary traders who are comfortable with trading indicators (MA, RSI, MACD, etc.), but unfamiliar with how to back test these indicators on historic data. If you want to back test your trading ideas in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, this book may be of interest to you. If you already know how to test systems on Trade Station or Super Charts, this book is probably too elementary.

    This book is divided into two parts. Part I explains the theory of "Smart Momentum." Part II shows step-by-step how to implement it in Microsoft Excel. The nice thing about this book is that Part II parallels Part I on a chapter-by-chapter basis.

    The book focuses on (a) indicator creation, (b) indicator selection, and (c) indicator combination. The logical development of a trading system proceeds as follows:

    An equity curve shows cumulative dollars extracted from the market versus time. The "Smart Momentum Ratio" (SMR) summarizes an equity curve in a single number. (The author claims the Sharpe ratio, in and of itself, is not good enough.)

    One can compare equity curves by comparing their respective SMRs. The better the equity curve, the larger the SMR.

    Since an equity curve is the cumulative daily result of a trading indicator: The better the trading indicator, the larger the SMR.

    A collection of one or more trading indicators comprises a trading system. Since a single indicator may fail under certain market conditions, it is desirable to build a trading system out of several uncorrelated indicators.

    If one varies the parameters of a trading indicator, and its SMR stays relatively constant, then that indicator is said to be "robust." Indicators that contain SMR spikes (referred to as "Matterhorns") are not robust. Curve fitting is avoided by using several data windowing methods, which are briefly mentioned.

    By the way, this book does not teach you how to use Microsoft Excel. It only gives you the Excel spreadsheet formulas to enter into spreadsheet cells (I did not test them to see if they were accurate). The techniques shown in this book are fine for tinkering in Excel, but to seriously create and analyze indicators the way the author suggests would take man-years in front of Excel. This may lead a person serious about developing trading systems into computer programming and optimization algorithms. For the latter approach, I recommend "The Encyclopedia of Trading Strategies" by Katz and McCormick.

    Because of the above reason, and the reasons that follow, I only gave the book 4 stars (with respect to its intended target audience):
    Chapter 9 - Spreadsheet preliminaries) The author uses USDJPY data sampled at 6:00, 12:00, and 18:00 GMT, but does not tell where to acquire such data.
    Chapter 11 - Indicator selection) The author tells how to find robust indicators, but does not give the Excel steps needed to generate the 3D charts used in companion chapter 4.
    Chapter 12 - Indicator combination) Indicator correlation matrices are presented. The author says they are generated with the Excel "correl" function, but does not reveal what cell references to use.
    Chapter 13 - Maintenance) Failing indicators are replaced with new ones on a frequent basis. In my opinion, this is not the signature of a robust trading strategy.

    Pass this book by if you want thoughtful analysis. Apparently, Mr. Chilton thinks the 1992 elections were about abortion. It is amazing in hindsight how silly that idea seems. This blinded focus undermines much of the book. Further, Mr. Chilton could stand to tone down his purple prose. Stick to the facts!

    5 out of 5 stars Chilton is extremely insightful, marshals arguments well........1999-06-14

    Craig Chilton is one of the most insightful writers currently working in America. This is the most concise pro-choice argument in print. Few writers can match Chilton for brevity and precision.

                                            How 3 girls tried to hook up with 78 guys in 1 semester: the first installment.

                                            Our heroes:

                                            Jodi Stein, cheerleader, bat mitzvah, and sorority hopeful, whose life plan prominently features her high school sweetheart, Buster.

                                            Celeste Alexander, tormented intellectual and virgin, the daughter of a former Buddhist monk and ex-nun.

                                            Ali Sheppard, a soul lost in a sea of lollipops and glow-sticks, whose long distance boyfriend is a trip-hop hypnotica DJ named Sensei.

                                            It doesn't seem as if these three roomates have much in common. Not at first. But then a night of misery brings them together -- a night when Jodi finds Buster in a compromising position, Celeste discovers an unexpected side to her date, Jordan, and Ali has a distressing phone call with Sensei. What starts as a simple game -- a game born of heartbreak, a bottle of tequila, and a Scrabble® board -- evolves into a three-woman sexual revolution.

                                            Forget boyfriends. Forget "life partners."

                                            This is the future.

                                            This is the Alphabetical Hookup List.

                                            The ABCs will never be the same.

                                            5 out of 5 stars Very Fun!.......2006-07-25

                                            I bought this book at my school's bookstore and it was well worth the money. I would laugh out loud in bed at night. Therefore, my roomate read it and about 10 other girls in my hall read it before the year was up. It is absolutely hilarious for a college freshman, but I'm sure other people would find it funny too. It's really fun and easy to read, not too much thinking.

                                            5 out of 5 stars Must read all 3.......2004-12-29

                                            I liked A-J so much that I passed it on to one of my friends who passed it on. It's difficult to find a book that all of us like, but between the 4 of us, every one of us loved them and couldn't wait to get the next one.

                                            4 out of 5 stars great, but not for kids!.......2004-11-03

                                            This book is extremely hilarious and very good! I couldn't put it down! I don't recommend it for young teens or kids, because it has A LOT of bad language (F-word at least once every page) and quite a bit of sex and drug use. This book is best for ages 16 and up, maybe....

                                            5 out of 5 stars SO HILARIOUS!.......2004-06-25

                                            This book is so laugh out loud funny! I read it on a trip and people kept looking at me because I couldn't stop laughing. The whole series is awesome read them all!

                                            The Alphabetical Hookup List A to J, K to Q, and R to Z are three books in a fictional series by Phoebe McPhee. Three girls, Jodi Stein, Celeste Alexander, and Ali Sheppard are all roommates at Pollard University. These three girls seem to have nothing in common at first until one night when Jodi finds her boyfriend, Buster, in an awkward position; Celeste discovers an unexpected side to her crush, Jordan; and Ali has a bad phone call with her boyfriend, Sensei. This only leaves one problem-- they all are left single. What starts out as an innocent game of scrabble turns into a bottle of Tequila and the hardest contest ever--each girl has to kiss one guy for each letter of the alphabet. The catch? The guys have to be in alphabetical order according to their first names, not as easy as it seems. The girls never thought that they would ever go to the extents that they did to try to get different letters of the alphabet. Who would have thought that kissing other girls, monkeys, old men, gay guys, straight guys and even ex-boyfriends could bring three girls so close to be almost like sisters?
                                            The first book concentrates on defining the rules of the game, the relationship of the girls with each other, and their journey through first semester earning their letters A to J. Throughout the first book the girls learn from each other and begin to bond through each of their relationships, which are later discussed in the second and third books. The girls each encounter their own problems, such as, Ali gets her letters by kissing girls, Jodi finds out that Celeste slept with her ex-boyfriend and Celeste finds out that her new crush is almost 35. The first book is the most interesting because it sets the stage of the series and introduces each girl's true self.
                                            Book two, K to Q, focuses mainly on the second half of the first semester and the girls encountering even bigger problems. During this book the girls earn the reputation as ...because someone has found out about the contest and unless the girls do exactly what he wants...there reputations will be ruined. One of the girls discovers that playing the game is not worth losing a boyfriend over so she has to make a huge decision...lose a boyfriend? Or lose 2 of your best friends?
                                            And finally in book three, R to Z, the girls have discovered their true selves and have grown to become the best of friends. You would think this book ends like any other novel or series, but after reading this series you will see that it does not.
                                            I really enjoyed reading this series, it is fast paced and is guaranteed to keep you wanting to read more. I'm not one to enjoy many books, and in fact I hate reading, but these books really kept me interested. I would recommend these books to anyone who likes to read humor and can handle a little adult content. I would especially recommend this to every teenager and to any parent who needs an enlightening on today's society and the lives of teenagers in the twenty-first century. Teenagers and even parents can relate to this story, either to their own life or to that of someone else.
