The best Web Encryption books: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Actually, start with some programming, then move on to "The Art of Exploitation" it's the best book on "hacking" I've ever used...

The movie is okay as a movie, but as as far as historical value goes, it's more in the 'inspired by' category. They touch upon a few of the moments and ideas presented here, however.

For a more (and way more interestingly brought) in depth explanation, I can recommend 'The Code Book' by Simon Singh (amazon)

I know right? He should educate himself about other coins before he opens his mouth.

This is a good book he could start on, from an author who's more open minded:

https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Ethereum-Building-Smart-Contracts/dp/1491971940

Read this book - https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861

As most bitcoin books are either technical in nature or written by journalists who don't understand it well. This book answers the "why" of bitcoin, the economics and monetary policy that makes it so special.

Overview - https://medium.com/@jimmysong/why-bitcoin-works-fe32879a73f5

Don’t trade. That’s gambling & speculating. Buy a bit of Bitcoin as a long term insurance against existing fiat system and just sit on it.

Or invest by doing some research. I recommend this book:

The Bitcoin Standard

You need to show them first why there is a problem in the first place. Show them the history of currency and fiat, the fall of the gold standard.

Ugh, I just went to Amazon to double check the delayed release date of Mastering Ethereum (it went from Dec 10 to Dec 25ish). Now it's pushed back to January 10th. You know he'll be discussing his book. Link for anyone interested in ordering it.

This is pretty much the bible of cryptography technology https://www.schneier.com/books/applied_cryptography/

also on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Applied-Cryptography-Protocols-Algorithms-Source/dp/0471117099

Hacking the art of exploitation (Amazon) (No Starch) is good for learning the foundation stuff. Its getting a bit old but the foundations are still the same there are just more defenses for some of the techniques now

this book taught me a bit about it. It was interesting to say the least. It gives examples of exploits, like how pointers can totally ruin someone's day.

Warning, it'll make you peek at some assembly. You don't really need to understand it fully to get the jist tho.

Computerphile also has some good videos on this topic, and how people "attack". It may give you an idea.

I don't know a lot, but this is how I learned about it to some degree until I swapped to a different education path.

If you read this i guarantee you'd reconsider your position. https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861

You're completely missing the point on what a non-sovereign money brings to the global marketplace. Do you do business internationally? Send money across borders ever? International banking absolutely sucks. What about the several billion people that are unbanked because it's a permission based system that they don't have the privilege to be a part of? How about you're living in a country like Venezuela, Iran, Turkey, Greece, etc that are experiencing hyper-inflation and seeing their savings absolutely devastated by poor economic policies instituted by broken governments?

If you think bitcoin is all about speculation you haven't done your homework. It's about taking back control of your finances and being your own bank.

El mundo está adoctrinado a creer en el papel moneda. La política monetaria es controlada por los gobiernos y la manejan a su conveniencia.

Ahora que las criptomonedas bajan la barrera de entrada para muchos tipos de inversión, los gobiernos y los bancos centrales hacen todo lo posible por descalificarlas.

Pero no pueden. No han podido. Y no podrán.

Estamos ante un gran cambio de paradigma. Es difícil de comprender, por eso este sub (y la mayoría de las personas) le temen. Pero es el siguiente paso de la economía.

Y si llegaron hasta aquí (los downvotes dirán si llegaron o no), lean The Bitcoin Standard

Creo en las criptomonedas porque son una alternativa a la centralización y control. Sí, son riesgosas. Pero es el primer paso para que cada quien se vuelva su propio banco.

Awesome exposure, great for awareness about CL. And it's going to be on Amazon later this year! (already available for preorder: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Ethereum-Building-Smart-Contracts/dp/1491971940/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527274613&sr=8-1&keywords=mastering+ethereum+antonopoulos). Somebody please make a Kindle version, please!

learn the book the bitcoin standard

https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861

​

its simple on exchanges you have uncovered bitcoins and covered bitcoin.

if you take btc to you own wallet the coin can no longer be double lent it is out of the exchange suppley!
btc is limited , and CAN NOT be created out of thin air like bank can with fiat money.

If you are referring to the intra-bank transfers, Saifdean outlines it The Bitcoin Standard and this great talk. If something else maybe you could give me a question.

I think you're looking for this. It's basically the economic side of Bitcoin;

I have this one Learn Ethical Hacking From Scratch.

I think its not bad but course content is a little bit poor and hacking methods old.

If you want to start hacking

Hacking Art Of Explotiation

The Hacker Playbook

this books very good. Also u dont have money you can also find it on Google..

This is great work u/amandamichelle90. I've been in this community for a few weeks, unaware of this amazing crypto universe being created before us, and the amount of HODL, DCA, fuck/shit, shit/fuck posts is overwhelming (underwhelming?). Thank you for condensing this glorious new world into something most folks can understand.

For community members that were not fully around for the Internet revolution in the late 90's, hold on this is going to be one amazing journey.

I was completely ignorant of what Bitcoin actually is (I thought it was for ransom ware, drug purchases, anonymous trading, etc.). After reading The Bitcoin Standard, whether Bitcoin survives or not, its a beautiful work of decentralized art.

I also didn't fully grasp the power of Blockchain technology until reading this article about Ethereum and everything that is being built under and on top of it.

Sure, it will be great to make money of these technologies and investments, but just as equally we can take part of this historical evolution/revolution in decentralized software.

Read "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous. If that doesn't clear up any misconceptions... find a new wife.

You can get a sense of the book at his Bitcoin Austria book launch here.

You've hit upon the fundamental question to this particular issue: is Bitcoin useful or not? People who don't see any use for it will come to the conclusion that it is a waste. Yet, other people keep adopting it.

For those interested in this question - why more and more people think it is useful - I'd suggest reading The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous.

It depends on whether you want to learn the basics of programming first or the basics of ethereum first. It also depends on how you best learn - tutorials, videos, books. I guess I would suggest "Mastering Ethereum" by Andreas Antonopoulos.

Yes I do sound like an *** but that's what happens when I read 10 books on Bitcoin, come to the internet, and find 99% of the posts written about Bitcoin make absolutely no sense in the context of monetary principles. After a while, the manners go out the window and the abrasiveness sets in permanently.

Just read the Bitcoin Standard and call it a day. It's one of many that I've read, but most fundamental to the topics that were discussed in the previous posts.

https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861

this would help if you're actually interested.

Look up "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous, a young Austrian economist (PhD and all).

There is a strong Austrian argument in favour of Bitcoin, and the Austrian school seems to be the only methodology that can make sense of it (as per Bob Murphy). Bitcoin is engineered money, distilled to money's most abstract properties and divorced from its traditional but incidental properties.

Curiously, Bitcoin also seems to contradict classic Austrian theory in that its price so far has been following a simple analytical model (the stock-to-flow model), which is deemed naive by the old Austrians. It's uncharted territory.

You can read Mastering Bitcoin on github, or you can buy a hardcopy over at Amazon.

I'd recommend you to start by understanding the crypto father: Bitcoin. There are great resources out there. My favourites are the works from Andreas Antonopoulos (Both books and even his Youtube channel). He is great, explains with such an ease everyone can understand

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQ

His book 'Mastering Bitcoin' is also available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Bitcoin-Unlocking-Digital-Cryptocurrencies/dp/1449374042

This one might get a bit technical, but it's a great resource to understand why cryptocurrencies are not a 'digital collectible' as the OP mentioned. I think they are gonna revolutionaze the world as we know it today.

If you are up for lighter material, check out the documentary 'Banking on Bitcoin'. It's on Netflix and is awesome too.

None of those wars included a full mobilisation of nearly all males and most females for fighting and war industry. It’s an aberration to even use the same word for these kind of conflicts, they where conceptually entirely different.

And I disagree about your analysis of the cause between the widening wedge between rich and poor. We saw a incredible growth of wealth for simple folks between 1850 and roughly 1960. That’s only possible in a system where you can accumulate wealth, money, to invest.

Since then we have inflation and things go south. It’s not just that things become more expensive. It’s that wages don’t keep up with inflation. It’s that you can’t save up for the future because just sending a kid to college is an impossible investment.

Personally I disagree with our entire economic model since the 1960s basically. The results simply do not convince me. All great periods in our history, classic Greek, Roman, renaissance, industrial revolution, they all happened under systems of sound money. And by the time they failed they had all invariably turned to soft money. It may not be the cause(though I believe it to be), but it’s certainly a symptom.

https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central-ebook/dp/B07BPM3GZQ

Explains it much better than I do, especially as I’m not a native English speaker. I recommend to read it, it goes quite in-depth on why it’s important to have sound money and what the consequences are, and historically have been, of not having it. History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

I only used this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119523265/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VkUfFb1H3WSMG

As you'll see, the CISSP is a mile wide and an inch deep exam. It covers so much material that your head will explode. Definitely make sure you've put in the time to cover that entire book cover-to-cover before attempting this one. I didn't do any full-length practice exams but looked at how the questions were structured and answers presented.to get a feel for how the exam will be. I thought I was going to fail this one because it was so tough.

At least for iOS, Bundled together it is called

• CISSP (ISC)2 Official Apps

Individually, they are called

• Official (ISC)2 CISSP Study
• (ISC)2 Official CISSP Tests

They came included as part of this bundle on Amazon as a code you could use to get the digital apps.

**Last page of the study guide had the instructions to register for the online test bank. I believe it is exactly the same as the book, but in an easier to use testing engine.

Nothing "fake" about software. Bitcoin can be used is a trustless transactional vehicle and can serve a valuable purpose to society if it is properly regulated and technology continues to grow and overcomes it's limitations (using renewable energy, adaption layer-2 (lightning network, etc.) solutions to scale number of TPS and improve transactional speed. Please read about things and educate yourself, it benefits us all to have an open mind. https://www.amazon.ca/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861
