Book Review: InfoSec Career Hacking
InfoSec Career Hacking is written to help young aspiring “hackers” to land that job in information security. The book is jam-packed with useful hints, information, and tricks of the trade. It covers basics for those more interested and less knowledgeable about security to the soft skills (people skills) such as running meetings and workplace etiquette.
The scope of the book is broad and goes back and forth between hard (technical) and soft skills in the chapters. The organization leaves a little to be desired as the back-and-forth tends to cause some chapters (like the first) to read more like scattershot. Separating soft and hard skills between chapters would be well advised. Lots of good information becomes a little difficult to find in its current form.
I was pleased to see a bunch of organizations represented as resources to get knowledge (such as the Internet Storm Center where I’m a volunteer handler) as well as a variety of software tools. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to get into information security and contains invaluable information to help one achieve and land such a job as well as to succeed in it.
