Kewl and learning
Read it and can't believe they let him tell the secrets. I'm ready to try these out. Knightmare is elite. I want to learn more. Do you have other books?
Rating: 3 out of 5
Dated, but entertaining
The book is entertaining, but it was written for a completely different era. This book can no longer be seriously accepted as a guide to computer hacking. If you know what a dial-up BBS was, you may be entertained by the stories within. If you're an old-timer techie, you may be amused with how the Knightmare describes how to repair a 5 1/4 inch disk; slice it open and place the magnetic material inside of a fresh disk. Other than the nostalgia, I do like how the book emphasizes hacker ethics, and the friendly pursuit of knowledge. If anything useful is to be gleaned from it besides that, it would be the segment on the lost art of social engineering. The book does not mention Unix, or the Internet. Simply put, this book may be entertaining, but is no longer useful.

A complete waste of time
This book gives nothing of value. It doesn't tell you anything about true hacking. The guy who wrote this book gave a brief history of some snooping around he did at work.
