Roman Reigns - Hacking: The Best Hacking Book for Beginners! Learn How to Hack

Almost everyone has encountered the stereotypical image of hackers in movies and TV shows. Nerdy, socially impaired loners, these strange and quirky individuals display an almost magical ability to compromise any computer by simply typing sporadically and quickly into a keyboard.

Of course, the common conception of the hacker is misinformed and naive. Hacking is generally less exciting than portrayed, being an exercise in systematic and logical thinking, information gathering and problem solving. This guide will provide you with an introduction to the real world of hacking, explaining and elucidating upon the theories and ideas you will need to understand to begin your hacking journey.
