Why Tribe pf Hackers?
I have never thought about writing a blog about a book but “Tribe of Hackers” is an exception.
Reading books are great but you know what is amazingly exciting and better?
It is reading interesting and captivating books that an average reader can relate to.
This is the story of Tribe of hackers.
I have read a couple of cybersecurity books and I must say this book stands out.
Still wondering why?
Tribe of hackers isn’t your regular “hacking book”. It is a book that brings the best of “cybersecurity advice from the best hackers” right to your desk.
It is amazing how this book has been so inspiring to me and I have recommended it to anyone who is interested in cybersecurity or have a career a in cybersecurity.
There are a lot of misconception about cybersecurity. From understanding the idea behind cybersecurity to building a career in cybersecurity. Marcus Carey and Jennifer Jin did a great job by bringing together cybersecurity professionals that has different perspective about cybersecurity and answered some really interesting question.
According to Marcus, ” I was inspired to create this book after reading Tim Ferriss’s Tribe of Mentors. I started compiling the questions that I get asked the most at conferences and in conversations with others, and narrowed it down to the list you see in the book.”
