This Machine Kills Secrets: How WikiLeakers, Cypherpunks, and Hacktivists Aim to Free the World's Information | Andy Greenberg

pan

An in depth, pre-Snowden journalistic investigation into the world of whistleblowers and data leakers.

This was a tough read to get into. Interesting, but dry and dense. Every chapter is also an interweaving of multiple people‘s stories. Pair all that with intentional misgendering and deadnaming of Chelsea Manning and glossing over Julian Assange‘s sexual assault allegations, this is not a book I need to keep or revisit. 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

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

RaeLovesToRead Is this... non fiction? A story?? 10mo

Oryx @RaeLovesToRead the bear one? Non fiction about hacking. Sounds really interesting, but also had a bear on it, so sold. 10mo

RaeLovesToRead It was the fancy bear that made me think it might be a story 10mo

Oryx @RaeLovesToRead I know, it sounds like some magical realism. Apparently it's a Russian cyber espionage group 🤷 who knew? 10mo

RaeLovesToRead I feel someone needs to write "The Adventures of Fancy Bear" and it not be about that 10mo

julesG Recently watched a documentary about the bears. Scary stuff. 10mo

I have to give a presentation on cybersecurity this week and decided to re-listen to this audiobook. I absolutely love this book about a woman making a career in the early days of ethical hacking and penetration testing.

The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage | Cliff Stoll

pick

Nicely written, and interesting from a historical standpoint—written during ye olde times when the Internet was still a cooing baby. Reads like a cross between a true crime / spy novel, slice-of-life memoir, confessions of a wavering anarchist, and an old Linux manual. An interesting mix, and enjoyable for a geek like me 👍

3.5/5
