A Hackers Mind: How the Powerful Bend Societys Rules, and How to Bend them Back

內容簡介

內容簡介 不是只有電腦，駭客攻擊無處不在。只要有人的地方，就有駭客！唯有先掌握「駭客心態」，才能根除動搖社會結構的隱形駭客受《經濟學人》盛讚的當代網路資安大師Bruce Schneier，將駭客的概念自網路語境中解放出來，並理出一套駭客心法，將之代入經濟、政治及法律……等各領域，讓所有抱持駭客心態的投機者，在人類社會中無所遁形。It’s not just computers―hacking is everywhere.Legendary cybersecurity expert and New York Times best-selling author Bruce Schneier reveals how using a hacker’s mindset can change how you think about your life and the world.A hack is any means of subverting a system’s rules in unintended ways. The tax code isn’t computer code, but a series of complex formulas. It has vulnerabilities; we call them “loopholes.” We call exploits “tax avoidance strategies.” And there is an entire industry of “black hat” hackers intent on finding exploitable loopholes in the tax code. We call them accountants and tax attorneys.In A Hacker’s Mind, Bruce Schneier takes hacking out of the world of computing and uses it to analyze the systems that underpin our society: from tax laws to financial markets to politics. He reveals an array of powerful actors whose hacks bend our economic, political, and legal systems to their advantage, at the expense of everyone else.Once you learn how to notice hacks, you’ll start seeing them everywhere―and you’ll never look at the world the same way again. Almost all systems have loopholes, and this is by design. Because if you can take advantage of them, the rules no longer apply to you.Unchecked, these hacks threaten to upend our financial markets, weaken our democracy, and even affect the way we think. And when artificial intelligence starts thinking like a hacker―at inhuman speed and scale―the results could be catastrophic.But for those who would don the “white hat,” we can understand the hacking mindset and rebuild our economic, political, and legal systems to counter those who would exploit our society. And we can harness artificial intelligence to improve existing systems, predict and defend against hacks, and realize a more equitable world."
