How to Hack Like a Ghost takes readers deep inside the mind of a hacker as they carry out a fictionalised attack against a tech company, teaching cutting-edge hacking techniques along the way. Readers shadow a hacker as they describe, with detailed code, how they might hack a tech company and escape detection. While the account is fictional, the tech company's vulnerabilities are drawn from real-life weaknesses common in today's corporate, cloud-based systems. By following along and studying the code, the reader learns practical, cutting-edge hacking techniques.
