Description

"Hacking: The Next Generation" is a unique and valuable book -- it covers an important topic (hacking) in a meaningful and useful manner and it addresses issues of immediate import. This is not a book that will "date" itself due to its "current affairs" bent -- this publication covers issues and ideas that will remain relevant in the future. I found this book's coverage of "people" as a security concern on par with "technology" to be on the mark. While technical topics such as blended threats and cloud infrastructure are covered in significant detail, this publication balances detail with the bigger picture and perspective well. The authors, Nitesh Dhanjani and Billy Rios, provide some interesting and useful case studies to underscore and contextualize their points. Well-written and eye-opening, this is a book for anyone concerned with hacking. Highly recommended.
