I admit, this is shameless self promotion, I’ll try not to do it too often.
I’ve written a book called “Freaks of the Wireless”
You probably aren’t here for stories about Victorian magicians that happen to be hackers . . . but this is a project I’ve invested quite a bit of time into so I want to give it every chance to succeed.
The book about the first wireless hack and the events around that it in the early 1900s. As I looked into the events it got more and more interesting.
I accidently uncovered the first denial of service attack, the first bug bounty, the first hacker that tangentially used a pseudonym for shit posting, the first real time countermeasure deployment, and the first wireless hack which isn’t the one that everyone posts about . . . but I do cover that.
It’s a very interesting story. You can even pre-order the book right now!
I have a publishing agreement in place with Security Blend Books and the book will be out on the 4th June 2025. We’re going through the final touches to do this fantastic story justice!
I set up a separate SubStack if you are interested in reading about some of the interesting events that are covered in the book, random security history, or want to follow along with updates.
