About 1998 I started writing a book entitled Hackers and Super Spies.  This was an attempt to document non-internet based threats to data security.  There were several motivating factors associated with this, however, the largest was that I had noticed most people were focusing on internet based threats and ignoring all others.  Much has happened in the last 12 years, I have even learned some new techniques.  The biggest thing that has not happened is I have not finished my book.  I got distracted with several things, have moved a few times to a few different countries, and generally let my ADD get the better of me.

I had intended on publishing this book in print format, available at finer book stores.  The lack of progress on the book has lead to no publisher wanting to talk to me.  I only have some notes cobbled together and they usually want at least 2 finished chapers and a table of contents.

Instead of trying to go the book publishing route, I have changed my mind and decided to publish the material here, when I am less lazy and my ADD does not get the better of me.  Since this is a blog, it is much more suited to random notes and it would ultimately be less work for me to put the notes into some format that would be useful here.
