Book Description

November 1, 2004
Demonstrating how to write hacking programs, this collection of hacking tricks teaches programmers how to create software pranks and network programs. Nonstandard C++ programming techniques as well as undocumented functions that will make others smile and allow users to demonstrate practical skills in programming and computer support are covered. Special attention is paid to the creation of compact programs that are useful for those interested in optimizing programs. Network programming and how to program for the Internet or an intranet, how to create a fast port scanner, and how to write pranks are discussed. In addition to pranks and network programs, hacking algorithms are described so that programmers can learn what to expect from hackers and how to create a protection system with maximum efficiency.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book, December 15, 2004
This review is from: Hackish C++ Pranks & Tricks (Paperback)
This is a great book all the examples are alot more interesting when compared to the many other programming books I have read. I think every C programmer must read it more than once, every single line is valuable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another useless book from the ill-famous Russian copy-paster, December 27, 2005
This review is from: Hackish C++ Pranks & Tricks (Paperback)
Another useless book from the ill-famous Russian copy-paster.
1) Author is not an expert in anything he writes about. His level of knowledge is close to one of a sophomore.
2) Book was unprofessionally translated from Russian, it's hard to read.
3) Morale and legal aspects of many pranks and tricks are questionable for an educated and law-obeying reader.

1.0 out of 5 stars full of errors, July 31, 2005

This review is from: Hackish C++ Pranks & Tricks (Paperback)
Do not buy this book. The positive reviewers do not have any other reviews on amazon -it really looks like self-reviewed by the author.
I've read this book, its full of mistakes. For instance, the authors says that TCP works by sending packages -- no comments, but for everybody else (beside the author) TCP works with segments. The list of mistakes is way to long. You should also note, that whenever a negative review is posted, a positive review (written by reviewers with no other reviews on amazon) follows. This book is very poor and a waste of money and time.
