Hacking the Hacker takes you inside the world of cybersecurity to show you what goes on behind the scenes, and introduces you to the men and women on the front lines of this technological arms race. Twenty-six of the world's top white hat hackers, security researchers, writers, and leaders describe what they do and why, with each profile preceded by a no-experience-necessary explanation of the relevant technology.
Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly critical at all levels, from retail businesses all the way up to national security. This book drives to the heart of the field, introducing the people and practices that help keep our world secure.
- Go deep into the world of white hat hacking to grasp just how critical cybersecurity is
- Listen to the stories of some of the world's most renowned computer security experts
- Delve into social engineering, cryptography, penetration testing, network attacks, and more
As a field, cybersecurity is large and multi-faceted - yet not historically diverse. With a massive demand for qualified professional that is only going to grow, opportunities are endless. Hacking the Hacker shows you why you should give the field a closer look.

With that said, I think this book does a nice job of profiling influential people in the security industry, many of which I had never heard of before. I found these chapters of the book the most interesting, and taught me a bunch of history that I didn't previously know about. It also gave a bunch of references for other books that I am interested in reading.
Pros:
- It has interesting interviews and profiles of notable figures in computer security.
- It has lots of references to other potentially interesting reading material.
Cons:
- It barely mentions anything about actually "Hacking the hacker"
- The non-profile chapters cover topics at a pretty surface level, so if you already have basic computer security knowledge these chapters may be a bit dull or arduous.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for an interesting history book on computer security, I think it's certainly worth the read. If you're just looking for applicable computer security knowledge beyond general philosophy behind computer security, skip this one and look elsewhere.
Worth the read - depending on what you're seeking

The book was nice talking about some fun stories and information about cybersecurity while going through interviews similar to Tribe of Hackers. I thought it was a great book overall and great listen.
