In case you&#8217;re wondering what this book is about, here&#8217;s an exerpt:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is your ticket into the elusive underworld of the Internet, home to millions of elite computer hackers. 1337 h4&#215;0r h4ndb00k will show you how to walk-the-walk and talk-the-talk of this exclusive community. Soon, you too will be able to go into a chat room and carry on conversations speaking the cryptic 1337 language. 1337 h4&#215;0r h4ndb00k will also review the nature of computer viruses, different practical jokes to play on your desktop and tips on how to live the hacker lifestyle. Join the elite society of computer hackers with 1337 h4&#215;0r h4ndb00k as your guide.</p></blockquote>
<p>Millions of elite hackers?  Alright. By now you are surely curious about the books mysterious author, tapeworm:</p>
<blockquote><p>hello, my name is tapeworm, and i am a freelance contract hacker amongst other things. the first thing i ever learned about computers (when i was first introduced by a friend) was the wide variety of hacking programs floating around on the internet, it wasn&#8217;t long after that my mom brought home our first computer and i took immediate control. i just wanted to research information, build web pages and play in chat rooms; whereas my mother just wanted to sit and play solitaire for hours (obsessive gaming: a geek at heart). i needed a plan, and fast.</p></blockquote>
<p>In case you want to know more, the book is available for free in electronic form at the <a href="http://icodeviruses.com/forum.virus?seed=2504">author&#8217;s website</a>.  I also recommend LOL: The Humor of the Internet as a companion guide.</p>
