Description

A gripping story of con artists and activists, this story follows a crew of elite hackers, new recruits, anarchists, and impersonators as they attempt to take down their most challenging target to date—the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Gathered under the cover of HackerCon in Washington DC—a place for security experts, penetration testers, and technology geeks to meet and discuss the latest hacks and exploits—this group of renegades plot their attack on the federal government for its objectionable security practices. Thought provoking and entertaining, this fast-paced adventure is based on years of research in the hacker community, addresses many contemporary social issues, and provides an overview of how hacking really works.
