Humble bundle hacking books

Journal by Gaaark

I bought the humble bundle hacking books on sale for myself for Christmas because I'm tired of knowing enough to possibly get myself in trouble but not enough to stay out of trouble.

Some interesting reading, so far.

About 15 books total...DRM free and charitable giving. Nice.

    A real hacker would steal illicitly copy those DRM-free books, then hack a bank and donate to charity only after enriching themselves.

    :)
    As I said, I know just enough to maybe land on a 'watch list' but not enough to steal money and get away with it, lol.

    I'd just like to learn proper pen testing and hacking for good, not evil...this IS CONTROL, not KAOS!

    I know youre joking but "hacker" had a different meaning that has morphed into "illegal activity".
