Hackers know everything about us. We know almost nothing about them. Until now.
The hacker, now known as Alien, entered MIT in 1998 with the intention of majoring in aerospace engineering. Almost immediately, she was recruited to join a secret student group known for scaling walls, breaking into buildings, pulling elaborate pranks, and exploring computer systems. Within a year, one of her hall mates was dead, and two others were arraigned. And Alien's adventures were just beginning.
Breaking and Entering is a whirlwind history of the last 20 years of hacking and cybersecurity.
As Alien develops from a teenage novice to an international expert, she joins the secret vanguard of our digitized world, revealing the forces at work behind our everyday technology.
Through a series of daring escapades and close calls, Alien exposes the intricate web of hackers, corporations, and governments that shape our digital landscape. She reveals the motivations behind their actions, from financial gain to political sabotage, and the devastating consequences of their actions on individuals and society.
Breaking and Entering is not just a story of hacking; it is a story of resilience, determination, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. Alien's journey is a testament to the power of knowledge, the importance of privacy, and the need for cybersecurity in a world that is increasingly dependent on technology.
In conclusion, Breaking and Entering is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of hacking, cybersecurity, and the forces that shape our digital future. It is a thrilling, informative, and thought-provoking book that will leave you questioning your own beliefs about technology and the people who control it.
