This book is the second book in the "A Hacker, I Am" series, it is not your normal cybersecurity book, it's not meant to be read from front to back chapter by chapter, you open it up and pick which chapter piques your interest the most and read that one first. Then choose your next one and read that and continue the process until you have finally read all of them. By all means though if you want to stick to the old fashioned method of reading a book, knock yourself out and read it from the front to the back, hey you bought the book you should be able to read it however you want too. This book is a collation of previous work, rewritten and adapted for this book. I have then written a lot of new content just for the book. The book as you would have probably guessed it by now is all about Cyber Security but it's not written to be overly technical, it's written so that it can be understood by anyone who wants to learn more about how to better protect themselves. This book will be great at helping introduce individuals to the cybersecurity and help them get a better understanding of what to look out for, what problems we are all going to face in the future but also have a bit of fun while we are at it. Or if you are already in the industry then it will be still an entertaining read that can help give you a different perspective on a few things. Buy the book you will like it but once you have read it leave a review so that everyone else that is considering the book or its predecessor, know they will love it as well.

Industry Reviews

Bradley Deacon:

Wow, like a good movie, I am always sceptical of the second movie, and at times I find books to follow the same fate of not hitting the mark with volume 2 or 3. Well, Craig once again really has packaged up a great follow on book to A Hacker I Am where he covers off on AI, children's smart watches, and how security is everyone's business.

Craig also touches on drones, impostor syndrome (an important topic) and I know a lot of cyber specialists that suffer from this.

The book is also a good, easy read in that you do not have to read it cover to cover, just go to areas that you need a refresher, or if you want to learn more about a specific topic. The chapters are short, sharp and well written and you can feel confident all the general bases are covered to give you a good understanding and a basic foundation to cybersecurity.

No matter what your experience, this is a must read.

Shazin Sohani:

Since the publication of his first book, A Hacker, I Am, Craig has dedicated himself to educating anyone by relating his own story and experience. Having read the first Vol, I was very excited to receive the second signed copy and I must say I was not disappointed. Every chapter had a different twist, easy-to-read format and topics one can relate to everyday day life scenarios.

As an experienced security consultant, I find myself referring back his book on a regular basis to seek answers to different situations within my role. Regardless of the experience level or industry, i highly recommend reading this book - Totally worth It!

Love love love this book! I ordered this book while reading A Hacker, I Am as I really enjoyed the way it was written, the language used and the fact that I could understand what was being discussed despite having really limited knowledge of the cyber world and cyber security industry. A Hacker, I Am Vol 2 did not disappoint and really I appreciated being able to learn something completely new in such an engaging way without being made to feel inferior or silly.

This really is a book for everyone and I hope Craig publishes further volumes because I am hooked! Thanks for letting me into your world Craig!

Jon Suwannakoot:

This is the second book after A Hacker, I am Vol 1. It is still interesting and I have been enjoying reading. It makes me realise that cyber security is not only for IT people but for everyone. Highly Recommended for everyone.
