Hackers_Handbook

Described by the BBC as an author and chronicler of the hacking scene, Dr.K is a veteran IT specialist and “old school” hacker who has worked with computers for over 24 years.

Trained in Cognitive Psychology, Psycholinguistics and Artificial Intelligence, Dr.K soon spotted the potential of the Internet and began learning TCP/IP in the days before the “World Wide Web” had even been developed.

Dr.K later worked as part of the team that developed the prototype smartcard systems that became the “Oyster Card” - before moving on to be an IT specialist for what The Times has called “The World’s Most Famous Secret Society”.

A long time attendee of London 2600 meetings and co-founder with "Zap" of the PHUK ezine - Dr.K has written "Complete Hacker's Handbook " (Carlton 2000, 2nd Edition 2002) - which has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide, "Hackers' Tales " (Carlton 2004) and is currently working on Hacker's Handbook v3.0" .
