Description
With the emergence of the internet new forms of crime became possible. From harassment and grooming to fraud and identity theft the anonymity provided by the internet has created a new world of crime of which we all must be aware. The threat of hackers reaches beyond the individual, threatening businesses and even states, and holds worrying implications for the world we live in.
In this enlightening account, Cath Senker unmasks the many guises that cybercrime takes and the efforts of law enforcement to keep pace with the hackers. She reveals the mysterious world of hackers and cybersecurity professionals and reveals a story that is both shocking and surprising. With chapters on political activism and human rights, Senker shows a brighter side of the darknet. For anyone interested in learning more of the world of cyber-criminals and their opponents, this is the perfect starting point.

Have you heard about Anonymous and Wikileaks? What about Bitcoin and Blockchain? Do you know what a DDoS attack is?
Sure, in this technological era, we have all heard someone mentioning one of this things. But how many of us can say that they truly understand how it works?
Well, for those of you who are interested in the subject but don't really know where to begin this is the perfect book.
If you are like me, who at the mention of "escrow" thinks "what animal is that?", this book is the perfect place to start in your learning process because it gives detailed descriptions of all key elements. It also has a lot of examples and famous cases like Snowden and Manning.
I highly recommend this book for everyone who wants to know a bit more about the internet, as it explains the inner workings of the Deep Web and the Dark Net (with a few instructions thrown in for good measure).
