Title: Interesting Books Suggestions?
Post by: kateus on July 19, 2012, 05:14:21 PM

Hey, I'm currently reading Ghost in the Wires ( http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Wires-Adventures-Worlds-Wanted/dp/0316037702 (http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Wires-Adventures-Worlds-Wanted/dp/0316037702)) which is an autobiography by Kevin Mitnick, and as surprised as I am that I enjoy autobiography, I do really like it. I also enjoyed reading Steve Wozniak's autobiography and was just wondering if there any other interesting books. I'm trying to get back into reading a little bit, and these stories of influential/successful people in hacking/technology are fun, though they make me incredibly jealous of how young each of them started.

Art of Intrusion and Art of deception are interesting reads. At least one of them is in the ebooks section also I would check out No tech hacking. Also in the ebooks section

Edit*
Forgot ablut kingpin! Story if max ray vision, the guy who took over the credit card sharing market. In the ebooks of course ;)

Here's some good ones:
Neuromancer - William Gibson
Masters of Deception - Michele Slatalla
Hackers - Steven Levy(No, it's not related to the movie)
Just for Fun - Linus Torvalds and David Daimond

Some good reference material related to hacking in addition to skidiot.h's:
The Rootkit Arsenal
The Shellcoder's Handbook
The Web Application Hacker's Handbook
Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering
Gray Hat Python

Thanks for all the suggestions, there are a lot more suggestions than I expected. I'll have to balance reading/learning with work and trying to set up my web server and some for fun programming I want to start doing. Hopefully I can get a lot done before school starts back up and I get even more busy.
