I Wear the Black Hat

Book Description
One-of-a-kind cultural critic and New York Times bestselling author Chuck Klosterman “offers up great facts, interesting cultural insights, and thought-provoking moral calculations in this look at our love affair with the anti-hero” (New York magazine). Chuck Klosterman, “The Ethicist” for The New York Times Magazine, has walked into the darkness. In I Wear the Black Hat, he questions the modern understanding of villainy. When we classify someone as a bad person, what are we really saying, and why are we so obsessed with saying it? How does the culture of malevolence operate? What was so Machiavellian about Machiavelli? Why don’t we see Bernhard Goetz the same way we see Batman? Who is more worthy of our vitriol—Bill Clinton or Don Henley? What was O.J. Simpson’s second-worst decision? And why is Klosterman still haunted by some kid he knew for one week in 1985? Masterfully blending cultural analysis with self-interrogation and imaginative hypotheticals, I Wear the Black Hat delivers perceptive observations on the complexity of the antihero (seemingly the only kind of hero America still creates). As the Los Angeles Times notes: “By underscoring the contradictory, often knee-jerk ways we encounter the heroes and villains of our culture, Klosterman illustrates the passionate but incomplete computations that have come to define American culture—and maybe even American morality.” I Wear the Black Hat is a rare example of serious criticism that’s instantly accessible and really, really funny.

Book Description
Black Hat Wisdom was written as the author's personal guide to achieve spiritual freedom and attain inner peace. Its main theme focuses on applying metaphysical attributes, without any specific theological beliefs that might constrain an open minded approach to the everyday occurrences of our daily lives. Its prime intention is to inspire, motivate, and embrace the inner essence of your individuality and the power of your spirit, as the main forces that provide the answers to what we already know but have most probably forgotten. The book is a very non-conventional approach to unravel the elusive truths behind those age-old questions of why we are here? What is the purpose of life? Where do we go after death? Why should we believe in what has been forced upon us through thousands of years of traditions and conventional wisdom? And many other questions which, perhaps because of our practical ways of thinking, we have failed to consider important.Hopefully by reading each essay more than once you will be open to consider a different way of thinking - a new way of thinking that could cement your present beliefs or shake them to their core, or maybe help you embrace other ways of getting closer to the absolute truth or to a truth within which the essential nature is forever changing. Lastly the author hopes that the reader will be inspired to question everything, with the compassion and understanding that will allow LOVE and PEACE to always lead the way.You are greater than you think you are.

Book Description
Black Hat, Inc. is the premier, worldwide provider of security training, consulting, and conferences. In Black Hat Physical Device Security: Exploiting Hardware and Software, the Black Hat experts show readers the types of attacks that can be done to physical devices such as motion detectors, video monitoring and closed circuit systems, authentication systems, thumbprint and voice print devices, retina scans, and more. The Black Hat Briefings held every year in Las Vegas, Washington DC, Amsterdam, and Singapore continually expose the greatest threats to cyber security and provide IT mind leaders with ground breaking defensive techniques. There are no books that show security and networking professionals how to protect physical security devices. This unique book provides step-by-step instructions for assessing the vulnerability of a security device such as a retina scanner, seeing how it might be compromised, and taking protective measures. The book covers the actual device as well as the software that runs it. By way of example, a thumbprint scanner that allows the thumbprint to remain on the glass from the last person could be bypassed by pressing a "gummy bear" piece of candy against the glass so that the scan works against the last thumbprint that was used on the device. This is a simple example of an attack against a physical authentication system. - First book by world-renowned Black Hat, Inc. security consultants and trainers - First book that details methods for attacking and defending physical security devices - Black Hat, Inc. is the premier, worldwide provider of security training, consulting, and conferences

Black Hat Bureau, Book 1 Remember that old line about how the only way out of the organization is in a pine box? Well, Rue Hollis spent ten years thinking she had escaped the Black Hat Bureau, no coffin required. Then her former partner had to go and shatter the illusion by showing up on her doorstep with grim tidings. As much as Rue wants to kick him to the curb, she agrees to hear him out for old times' sake, and what he says chills her to the bone. The Silver Stag was the most notorious paranormal serial killer in modern history, and Rue brought him down. Now a copycat has picked up where the Stag left off, and the Bureau wants her on the case. She beat the Stag once. They think she can do it again. But they don't know she's given up black magic, and she's not about to tell them. White witches are prey, and Rue is the hunter, not the hunted. Always. But can she take down the protégé of the man who almost beat her at her black witch best? If she wants to keep her new town, her new home, her new life, then she has no choice but to find out.
