Hey guys, Sorry about the shameless self-promotion, but I just thought I'd mention that my wife and I run a technical bookstore in Seattle and we're part of the computer security community (I started and run ToorCon/ToorCamp/etc) so our bookstore is obviously heavily based around supporting the local community and fostering tech innovation in the area. I say this because we just started selling Google eBooks and so if you have a Google eBook compatible reader (which I believe is all of them except for the Kindle) and would like to keep the money in our community then please consider purchasing from us: http://www.adasbooks.com Or your local independent bookstore that supports reselling Google eBooks: http://www.indiecommerce.com/live-sites Thanks, -David On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 8:04 AM, Dave Aitel <dave () immunityinc com> wrote:
So I personally wasn't a huge fan, but more than one person has suggested Daemonby Leinad Zeraus. But you can't buy this in electronic format anymore for some reason, and I can't find the torrent on PirateBay, so it's not eligible! You're better off reading Daniel Keys Moran's AI War instead. :> http://www.amazon.com/I-War-Book-One-ebook/dp/B004XMR5A4 At this year's INFILTRATE, due to a few factors, we have a much too large budget for food and beverage (i.e. It is a real possibility that they will hand you a top of the line mojito as you check in). Likewise, I asked for local food. We may end up eating alligator. Who knows. But you SHOULD know your food history. Today's book list is here to help with that. The big baby daddy of them all: http://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Societies-ebook/dp/B000VDUWMC But that's really just the beginning. Early cultures got their protein largely from seafood, and usually seafood that couldn't move or was too dumb to avoid a small net. So it's good to focus on why you find building-sized mounds of discarded oyster shells nearly everywhere humans lived: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Oyster-History-Shell-ebook/dp/B000N2HCLA Probably the next best book in the genre is this one on Cod. We have a lot of Scandinavians coming to INFILTRATE, and they, of all people, should know the history of Cod. http://www.amazon.com/Cod-Biography-Changed-World-ebook/dp/B001QWFY9I/ This book on lobsters is also a must-read. The local Whole Foods seafood guy is an ex Maine lobsterman, and can give you the straight dope on lobster fishing: http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Life-Lobsters-P-S-ebook/dp/B000Z4JQOM Bananas are very interesting especially in how they changed computer networking (and the country of Honduras): http://www.amazon.com/Banana-Fate-Fruit-Changed-World/dp/0452290082 The history of bananas will not, however, explain why Nico's exploits often have animated dancing bananas in them. I haven't found one in the Master Class exercises yet, but I'm sure there's one there somewhere. -- INFILTRATE 2012 January 12th-13th in Miami - the world's best offensive information security conference. www.infiltratecon.com _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunityinc com http://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
