Welcome to Litsy!

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. 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

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.

First half is hard to put down.

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

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

This was a fun and exciting ride! I think it shows you that “Hacking” is much more than computers , it‘s exploitation in pure form, it‘s an unbridled thirst for understanding.

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
