Cryptography: A Very Short Introduction | Sean Murphy, Fred Piper

The historical parts were interesting and fun to try out (despite some typos) but the more modern (though since the book came out in 2002, not that modern) sections were more difficult to follow and could have done with more examples taken from real life to demonstrate how the theory is used.

Love the book stamp you can get put in your books in Libreria London

squirrelbrain Both books look great! ❤️ 6mo
RaeLovesToRead Is this... non fiction? A story?? 6mo
Oryx @RaeLovesToRead the bear one? Non fiction about hacking. Sounds really interesting, but also had a bear on it, so sold. 6mo

RaeLovesToRead It was the fancy bear that made me think it might be a story 6mo
Oryx @RaeLovesToRead I know, it sounds like some magical realism. Apparently it's a Russian cyber espionage group 🤷 who knew? 6mo
RaeLovesToRead I feel someone needs to write "The Adventures of Fancy Bear" and it not be about that 6mo
julesG Recently watched a documentary about the bears. Scary stuff. 6mo

Scott Shapiro, Yale Professor: “Suppose, however, I want to send some of my writings to my friend at Stanford? (This is hypothetical, of course: I have no friends at Stanford)”.

I read this book for work, but it ended up as the best read of April on my personal list! A fascinating look at cybersecurity. #12Booksof2022

This was a very fast-paced book with twists and turns in every chapter. I couldn‘t put it down! The suspense kept you turning the pages to find out what surprise was next.

I received this book from the author for my honest review.

Cybercrime is not my favorite subject but I love Ms. Goddards books, and I‘m so glad I read this. It wasn‘t all computers and online shenanigans. There was plenty of real action, real suspense, real danger. And as always, Ms. Goddard‘s writing is wonderful. The scene in the woods, especially when they were trying to get away from the shooter, was pulse pounding. I‘m sad that the series is over, but hoping Ms. Goddard has a new one in the works!

Great, fascinating book about current events at the intersection of global politics and cyberwar/cybersecurity. If you liked Countdown to Zero Day, you‘ll like this.

Wow! If you want to know why everyone got really scared about cybersecurity about a month ago read this book. I‘m going to have to read it again just to make sure I caught everything. #20in4 book 2 of 3

Andrew65 Sounds great, well done 👏👏👏 3y

Super scary, but well written & fascinating. Ultimate take away- cyber warfare is so advanced that we can‘t really fight it, we can only plan to survive it. The US govrnmt should‘ve sanctioned Russia when it would have made a difference, they didn‘t & now we can‘t stop, only mitigate the consequences. This book tracks an elite Russian hacking group through their attacks, how they learned from the US, and their testing ground-Ukraine. 4/5 stars
