EDIT 3 (6:15 ET/3:15 PT): For anyone browsing after the fact, you'll notice there are duplicate replies to many of the questions in this thread. For most of the AMA, our authors' accounts were not listed as approved users. As such, they were answering questions but no one could see the answers. We took to posting the replies from u/NoStarchPress to keep the conversation going. Now that u/hAPI_hacker and u/theosintion have been added as approved users, you'll see their original replies alongside our reposts of them. Hope this clears things up!

EDIT 2 (5:15 ET/2:15 PT): That's a wrap! Thanks all for joining us and sticking around while we got the back-end issues sorted out. Be sure to check out Hacking APIs and Practical Social Engineering. Both 25% off until midnight PT with the code AMA25 at nostarch.com!

EDIT 1 (3:55 ET/12:55 PT): We've run into some technical issues with our authors' replies. We'll be reposting them from this account in the meantime. Thanks for all the questions. Keep them coming!

Live from the BSides Knoxville security conference are two well-known hackers who both have books out this month: Corey Ball (u/hAPI_hacker), author of Hacking APIs, and Joe Gray (u/theosintion), author of Practical Social Engineering.

Corey is a cybersecurity consulting manager at Moss Adams, where he leads the pentesting team. He's got over a decade of infosec experience in different industries, including aerospace, agribusiness, energy, fintech, govt. services, and healthcare, and holds the OSCP, CCISO, CEH, CISA, CISM, CRISC, and CGEIT industry certifications.

Joe is a threat hunter / intelligence engineer, and founder of The OSINTion, which provides OSINT and OPSEC training. He's also co-organizer of BSides Knoxville, a member of the Password Inspection Agency (who won the TraceLabs OSINT Search Party at DEFCON 28), and he recently authored the OSINT and OPSEC tools DECEPTICON Bot & WikiLeaker. He holds certifications in CISSP-ISSMP, GCIH, GSNA, and OSWP.

So ask u/hAPI_hacker and u/theosintion anything, Reddit! They'll be here starting at 3:00PM ET/12:00PM PT.

P.S. In honor of the occasion we're knocking 25% off the cost of their books โ€” Hacking APIs and Practical Social Engineering โ€” until midnight PT if you use coupon code AMA25 at https://nostarch.com/.

Hello, I'm Andrew "bunnie" Huang. I recently wrote a book, "The Hardware Hacker", which is being released this month. I love making and breaking all manners of hardware. I'm an open hardware activist and I've blogged extensively about the Shenzhen electronics ecosystem.

I'll start responding to questions at 12PM EST March 5th, until 1PM. Looking forward to your questions!

Verification - https://twitter.com/bunniestudios/status/838433035615875073

Thanks and good night! It's 2:02AM here in Singapore now, so I'm signing off. Thanks for all the great questions!

Hello All and thanks everyone for participating in this AMA! We're technically done taking questions but I'm happy to hang around for a bit and maybe a couple of our authors will, too.

We're also going to extend our 40% off all security books deal until midnight tonight, PST --- REDDITAMA. So there you go.

Thanks again!

Bill


I founded No Starch Press in 1994. I edit most of our hacking/security titles. I'll be here with Chris Eagle (The IDA Pro Book), Jon Erickson (Hacking: The Art of Exploitation), Dave Kennedy (Metasploit: The Penetration Tester's Guide), and Michael Sikorski (Practical Malware Analysis). We're here to discuss writing and publishing security books.

We'll be here answering your questions tomorrow, Dec. 11, from 12:00-1:30pm PST.

I wanted to put this out there for anyone who's getting into software, or knows someone who wants to learn about how to write code/ work with computers. No-Starch Press (Publisher) writes some of the best, and most informative coding books out there. They provide supporting chapters to help real beginners to get set up with the necessary tools, and they also break the books into an instruction section, and a guided project section.

One of the deceptive traps that aspiring developers get stuck in is this thing called "Tutorial hell". For the uninitiated this is a workflow where someone will sit down to try and create a project and will end up watching hours of tutorials on Youtube, and end up in one of two cases. Case 1 is where the programmer followed the tutorial blindly, and doesn't understand the code they just wrote. Case 2 is almost as bad, where the programmer will end up watching separate 10 minute tutorials for every function they don't understand, finish the project, and not retain any of what they just "Learned".

No Starch Press addresses all of these problems due to the amount of time the books takes to read, and as a result retention is increased. This is paired with the project phase of the books which really rounds out coding skills so that when you reach the end of the book the reader is "Fluent" in the language they are trying to write in.

Its ironic that the best resource medium for those working on the cutting edge of technology was invented hundreds of years ago.
