If that statement shocks you, then you probably aren’t familiar with the
legitimate reasons for hacking.These reasons can be security testing, consumer
advocacy and civil rights, military interests, and “hacktivist” politics; however, in
this book, we’re just going to cover the techniques rather than the reasons.
The use of the word “hack” in the title of this book and throughout its pages
is deliberate.We’re aware that this word means several different things to different
people, so we’ll explain that in this chapter.We’ll also explain how the book is
organized and what you might expect for the skill levels necessary to understand
the techniques we write about.This chapter will also take a look at what the current

the law.We wouldn’t want to hand you a new toy without telling you about all
the trouble you could get yourself into. |
