A lot of why I requested this book for review was sheer curiosity. Like many people, I'm used to thinking "Rootkit = bad". Why the heck would any author or publisher want to take on the liability of teaching their readers how to behave unethically and criminally? The little voodoo doll on the cover did nothing to allay my concerns. However, once I had the book in my hands and began to work through it, I saw it with different eyes.

Webbots, Spiders, and Screen Scrapers: A Guide to Developing Internet Agents with PHP/CURL and Kong's

more about teaching the reader beginning kernel hacking than it is about becoming the programmer's version
of a criminal mastermind. Full Story |
