Most people have heard of phishing, malware, password/identity theft, social media “hacking”, etc… but they have no idea how it’s actually done, and therefore no REAL idea how to protect themselves from it. This book will show you both how systems and accounts are compromised and how to actually protect yourself as best possible.This book seems geared toward those with slightly more than average computer knowledge but less knowledge than someone who has studied or worked in cyber security - so if you find yourself in between, this book will fill the gap for you… and let’s face it, a lot of cyber security text books fail to show you how it’s done too, so this is also helpful for those studying the field.

I really liked this book as it covers the basics of privacy and anonymity in cyberspace by understanding what sensitive information you may share (intentionally or not) and how attackers can use those data, but also how you can protect from it, and maintain or upgrade your anonymity level.Seems like a book that anyone in cyberspace should at least skim through, to be more aware of its privacy and dangers which are lurking out there, together with tools and techniques to fight them.

This is a good intro book to some of the information a number of pentesters and hackers will use to begin hacking. It covers a fair amount of opensource reconnaissance, metadata extraction, and information harvesting with a fair amount of examples on how each is accomplished and what can be done with the data after it is done. It's geared toward someone who isn't afraid to use Linux but maybe hasn't done a lot of diving into the subject beforehand. This book will also give the user a basic understanding of the flipside, how to limit the data that is on line about them and what they can do about the keeping the majority of there data safe. This is a good intro book, to get you ready for more advanced topics in data extraction and privacy.

The rise of the internet has allowed for new data collection methods that threaten personal privacy. With online activity tracking and storage, identity theft has become a genuine concern. However, there are ways to mitigate these risks and use the web safely and anonymously. "An Ethical Guide to Cyber Anonymity," written by Kushantha Gunawardana, takes readers on a journey to attain cyber anonymity.Kushantha Gunawardana is a renowned cybersecurity expert with extensive experience as a trainer, consultant, blogger, YouTuber, and public speaker. In recognition of his exceptional skills and contributions to the field, he was awarded the EC-Council Instructor Circle of Excellence Global Award in 2021. Over the past 20 years, he has participated in numerous overseas projects, providing training in cybersecurity and forensics to thousands of university students, government employees, professionals, military personnel, and police officers across 25 countries.Kushantha holds a master's degree in networking, with distinction, from the University of Colombo. He also received the JICA Award 2011 (Gold Medal) and led the team that won the National Hacking Challenge in Sri Lanka in 2013. Currently, he is pursuing a Ph.D. in cyber forensics."An Ethical Guide to Cyber Anonymity" begins by defining anonymity and its significance in the digital age. It then covers methods for maintaining anonymity and performing tasks without revealing personal information. Readers will also learn about the tools and infrastructure that make up the cybereconomy and how to stay safe online. By the book's end, readers will have the skills to navigate the web safely and anonymously.This book is ideal for journalists, security researchers, ethical hackers, and anyone who values online privacy. Parents who want to protect their children's identities online will also find this book helpful.To understand the concept of cyber anonymity, it is imperative to appreciate the sensitivity of information in today's world. Information is power, with the wealthiest companies and individuals managing it to maintain their status. Once analyzed, raw data in facts and statistics become structured and organized information, enabling informed decision-making.For instance, in advertising, using social media platforms allows for targeted advertising, reaching the exact audience by selecting attributes such as age group, gender, and geography. In addition, social media platforms now have data on user preferences and interests, making direct marketing more effective than traditional methods like TV broadcasting, which has a shallow target customer engagement rate.It is important to note that this power of information comes with potential risks to personal privacy, making cyber anonymity essential. By maintaining anonymity and protecting personal information, individuals can navigate the web safely and avoid these risks.Data breaches have become common worldwide, with new cases reported frequently. Hackers and hacker communities continually compromise systems to steal data, ranging from personal-level to enterprise-level breaches, which can devastate a company's economy and reputation. Attackers often use stolen data as a gateway to commit more crimes or attack other companies.Therefore, to address data privacy in cyberspace, examining how attackers use stolen data after a breach is crucial.Overall, this book is an excellent guide for anyone looking to maintain privacy and anonymity while using the internet.
