Product Description

Book Description

Find out how experienced surfers steal CD-quality music off the 'Net, break into adult "pay-only" Web sites; download software, arcade games and more for free; plus how to surf the Web without your IP (or anyone) knowing what you're up to. This is the hard-core stuff surfers have zealously guarded . . . until now!

About the Author

Robert Merkle is frighteningly at home in the world of hackers, geeks, and phreaks. A grad student in computer science, he knows the 'net like the back of his hand, and as a former Internet terrorist himself, he has done his time on the "Darkside" of the Web.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not ... worth my time., Mar 12 2001

"arithon-kelis" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ultimate Internet Outlaw: How Surfers Steal Sex, Software, CDs, Games, and More Top-Secret Stuff on the Information Superhighway (Paperback)

Uggh. Honestly. OK, so I'm a professional nerd, but I got curious. In the end, I... think this book is a good example of sensationalism and shock tactics. If you've spent more than a month or two on the internet, you've probably figured out everything in this book anyway. I must admit that several times I just started snickering. The processes he describes are what I would expect of a typical 'script kiddie', and really lack anything in the line of finesse, skill, or cleverness.

Seriously, don't spend your money on this book. If you are relatively new to the internet, get yourself one of those "<X> for dummies" books; they're halfway decent. If you know a little and want to know more, pick up some light technical books. If you just want to steal data, please buy this book. *snicker* Please. Also, you might want to see the related book, "How to be a Bungling 'net Thief" for more good tips.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Internet Outlaw (not!), Mar 3 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ultimate Internet Outlaw: How Surfers Steal Sex, Software, CDs, Games, and More Top-Secret Stuff on the Information Superhighway (Paperback)

If you're familiar with FTP's, email, finding MP3 files (which everyone and their brother can do without breaking a sweat), this book is NOT for you! The information in here is so basic it's embarrassing to think that I fell for reviews given by other readers. The information is VERY dated; he calls searching for mp3's "illegal". Oh, and he also talks about all the "secret and illegal" files you can find on FTP servers. Like, no one knows they're out there! If you're looking for a book on how to hack, or some really interesting, technical information that you can use while surfing the steamy side of the WWW, this ain't it!
