Through his experiences watching and hunting cybercriminals as varied as lone wolfs, the Russian mafia, and other official and unofficial nation-state hackers, he explains how cyber espionage is performed, the tools and skills that people like him use all the time, and the consequences of engaging with cybercriminals on a daily basis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKurtis teaches you that the same operational security that keeps him and his team of spies safe will keep you and your organization's secrets safer too. And you'll explore whether fake personas on the internet are always bad or are there legitimate business uses for Romanian speaking sock puppets? You'll also discover critical lessons that Minder has learned as he's led his digital risk company, GroupSense, through many of the most dramatic incidents of online crime of the last few decades.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInside the book:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOriginal profiles of cyber espionage and negotiation professionals so you're learning from Jax Scott, Jon DiMaggio, Jason Ingalls, Beau Woods, Brye Ravattine and many more, with QR-code links to extended YouTube interviews\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn original, non-technical primer on the people that populate the cyber risk landscape and the methods they use to carry out attacks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSteps to avoid becoming a target of Lockbit, BlackMatter, NotPetya, and next year's most dangerous ransomware as well as how to minimize the business damage when you are a victim\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow the intersection of business negotiation and hostage negotiation relates to high-stakes ransomware negotiations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe fast-moving transformation generative AI is unleashing in cyber attacks and defense\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn inside look at an endlessly interesting corner of the field of cybersecurity, \u003ci\u003eCyber Recon\u003c\/i\u003e is also a must-read for anyone interested in spycraft, technology, hacking, or digital entrepreneurship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Why Spy on Bad Guys? 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Ffs Dnm 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Cyber Espionage 101 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Whodat? 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 OPSEC or Die 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 How Not to Go to Jail, Hell, or Worse 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Negotiating with the Enemy 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 You Don’t Have to Be a Doctor to Know How Not to Die 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Robots, Digital Money, and Teleportation 213\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Digital Novichok 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 245\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Jurisprudence \u0026amp; general issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Jurisprudence \u0026amp; general issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Jurisprudence%20\u0026amp;%20general%20issues%20%5BLA%5D%22\"\u003eLA\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52453576933656,"sku":"9781394334612","price":16.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781394334612.jpg?v=1785286978","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/cyber-recon-my-life-in-cyber-espionage-and-ransomware-negotiation-hardback-9781394334612","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
