Beyond HIP: The End to Hacking As We Know It

Alexis Bor said
I was fascinated by the name of the book - especially, the subtitle "The end to hacking as we know it". I have been involved with the Internet since the 70's and wondered in what direction this book would take us. Richard does a great job of tackling difficult topics and bases everything on real world hands on experience. For example, Chapter 6 is devoted to Identity and gives you a broad view of different definitions and use of identity in such a way that it becomes clear that we need to build a future with many different forms of identity coming together within the Internet infrastructure. The chapter flows smoothly into the next chapter that introduces the history of hacking and works you through the many approaches that have impacted many of us. With that under your belt, the real fun begins as cyber-security takes on the role of changing the way we do business and networking. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Internet related technology, how we got there and how we will get to the future without the hacking of today.
