Creer everything. How the powers of this world use the vulnerabilities of systems in their interests. Schneier B.

The classic image of a hacker is a specialist in the highest class, who knows several programming languages, understands the security systems and will select a password for your mailbox in two scores. He studies systems in order to find vulnerabilities in them and force them to work in his interests. However, you can hack not only computers, but also social systems: from tax legislation to financial markets and politics.

In his book, the legendary cryptograph, a cybersecurity specialist and Harvard teacher Bruce Schneier talks about how powerful, but hackers unknown to the public help rich and influential people become even richer and manipulate people's consciousness. In addition, it gives a huge number of examples of hacks of social systems: hacks of tariff plans for intercity calls, ATMs, passenger loyalty programs, manipulations in the market of elite real estate and many others. After reading it, you will find out how to notice the hacks, and you will no longer be able to look at the world as before.
