A Hacker's Mind: How the Powerful Bend Society's Rules, and How to Bend Them Back

This excerpt from Bruce Schneier's A Hacker's Mind explores how individuals and organizations exploit vulnerabilities in various systems—from computer software and financial regulations to social norms and even human psychology—to achieve their goals. Schneier defines "hacking" as cleverly exploiting unintended system features, distinguishing it from outright cheating. The book examines numerous examples across diverse fields, analyzing the techniques used, the consequences, and potential methods for mitigating harmful hacks while fostering beneficial innovation. It argues that while hacking can be destructive, it's also a crucial driver of societal progress. The author ultimately advocates for a more proactive approach to identifying and addressing systemic vulnerabilities.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/cyber_security_summaryGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Mind-Powerful-Societys-Rules/dp/B0CGTF8RPV?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=e7c75bd00af337f5401610c714069316&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlDiscover our free courses in tech and cybersecurity, Start learning today:https://linktr.ee/cybercode_academy
