Críticas:

"The descriptions will be useful for nonsecurity professionals to understand the security jargon in the story and in real life."--Computing Reviews, Dissecting the Hack

"Welcome to hacker fiction―like sci fi, but you don't get to make the good stuff up."―Dan Kaminsky, Director of Penetration Testing, IOActive, Inc. "There have been many sensationalist books on hackers, and this isn't one of them. Get a feeling for what it's really about and follow through with the technical details. Fun like Star Trek, but comes with the blueprints."―FX of Phenoelit Recurity Labs GmbH"A great read, whether you're a geek or not. Hollywood should take notes...a gripping story centered around real tech."―Johnny Long, Professional Hacker, Best-Selling Author and Founder of Hackers For Charity, Inc. "Dissecting the Hack: the F0rb1dd3n Network is an educational thriller, the reader is thoroughly entertained and yet walks away with an understanding of the importance of information security theory and practice."―Stephen Northcutt, President, The SANS Technology Institute
