Title: Click Here to Kill Everybody Pdf Security and Survival in a Hyper-connected World
A world of "smart" devices means the Internet can kill people. We need to act. Now.
Everything is a computer. Ovens are computers that make things hot; refrigerators are computers that keep things cold. These computers - from home thermostats to chemical plants - are all online. The Internet, once a virtual abstraction, can now sense and touch the physical world.
As we open our lives to this future, often called the Internet of Things, we are beginning to see its enormous potential in ideas like driverless cars, smart cities, and personal agents equipped with their own behavioral algorithms. But every knife cuts two ways.
All computers can be hacked. And Internet-connected computers are the most vulnerable. Forget data theft: Cutting-edge digital attackers can now crash your car, your pacemaker, and the nation's power grid. In Click Here to Kill Everybody, renowned expert and best-selling author Bruce Schneier examines the hidden risks of this new reality.
After exploring the full implications of a world populated by hyperconnected devices, Schneier reveals the hidden web of technical, political, and market forces that underpin the pervasive insecurities of today. He then offers common-sense choices for companies, governments, and individuals that can allow us to enjoy the benefits of this omnipotent age without falling prey to its vulnerabilities.
From principles for a more resilient Internet of Things to a recipe for sane government regulation and oversight to a better way to understand a truly new environment, Schneier's vision is required listening for anyone invested in human flourishing.
Disappointed If you are following Bruce Schneier's blog etc., other blogs and keep yourself up to date then this book is not adding anything new. I didn't finish the book, stopped somewhere in the middle as I felt it is not adding anything new to my understanding. It is probably useful for people that have very little info sec experience.Disappointed I'm a big fan of Bruce Schneier and follow his blog for many years. I bought this book immediately after its release and finished it in less than a week.Pluses:- It is a very good review of what was happening in IT/Internet/IoT security field during the last few years, with all main events mentioned, everything is thoroughly source-referenced and explained (the Notes part takes one quarter on the book)- Even despite some dryness in delivery style, the factual part on the book is very interesting to read, the story catches you in a good sense- Information is (mostly) packed in high-density way, the book is pretty short (~200 pages) and to the point, while at the same time it can be easily read by non-professionals in the field.Minuses:- The proposal/prediction parts look less focused comparing to the factual part and to the standard one may expect from the work of this caliber.- It is hard to say what exactly happened here, but it seems like the author either tried to squeeze as many conclusions as possible in limited amount of pages or he simply did not plan to analyse current IoT security trends that much at all. In too may places it goes like "Something is definitely going to happen, and it may be either A, B or C." Full stop. Huh? That's it? "The weather tomorrow is going to be nice. Or bad. Or it may be raining, but sunny and cloudy weather is also possible". Well, if you know nothing about the different weather phenomena, this is a lot of new and interesting information. If you read this to know what going on the weather front - sorry, but this information is useless.- (spoiler) The same applies to the chapters about government role in Internet security. Once again, author provides a lot of very precise facts on what happened in the past in the area, how government regulation in the security field came to be what they are now and what to expect in the nearest future and how all these will probably be unable to solve any existing challenges - very thoughtful analysis and based on solid factual evidence. So, what's the author's proposed solution - "Let's create new government agency". Not even "I think it's going to end up in creating new government agency", no, "To solve this, we need a new agency" Even though you just showed how exactly it will not work? I don't get this logic at all. And this is kind of culminating point of the book, if there is one. Very disappointing.Conclusion (tl;dr) - if you happen to be working in IT or IoT security field, you will probably get very little new information from this book, both the factual one and analysis. If you are somebody who are new to the field, you may find parts of the book interesting or even more like revelations.The conclusions part of the book is somewhat blurry, less focused and does not sound really convincing. Given the quality of the source material and knowing Mr. Schneier reputation, I was expecting more insights into what's going in the industry than this book has delivered.It's pervading my ideas and discussions The many commonsense ideas that Schneier shares and promoted in Click Here to Kill Everyone are pervading an incredible amount of the ideas and discussions I'm having with other people. It literally has been life-changing for me. I find myself making well-reasoned arguments that when I think about it can be sourced to this book. Everyone involved thinks I'm making some master statement and that I'm smart...and all I'm really doing is promoting what Schneier wrote. I find myself wanting to say, "Read Bruce Schneier's latest book...it's all in there!" And I do, when it's appropriate. I'm not talking about just between friends or on discussion blogs, but in real meetings by serious groups looking to better secure the Internet. Schneier has the plan for how to significantly improve computer security, from a policy and legislative side figured out. Click Here to Kill Everyone is the blueprint for making that happen.
