The c0c0n 2024 conference in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, was more than just a gathering of cybersecurity professionals—it was a treasure trove of insights, connections, and unexpected surprises. Among the highlights of the event were two incredible books that found their way into my hands:
📘 Human Hacked: My Life and Lessons as the World’s First Augmented Ethical Hacker by Len Noe : https://amzn.to/40VjOKT
📙 Offensive Security Using Python by Rejah Rehim and Manindar Mohan : https://amzn.to/3OiVCL0
Books have always had a special place in my heart, and whenever I see someone showcase their work in the form of a book, my admiration knows no bounds. Having attempted (and abandoned) writing a book twice, I truly understand the immense effort, patience, and perseverance it takes to transform an idea into a finished manuscript.
What makes these books even more special is that they offer lessons grounded in practical experience:
💡 Len Noe shares a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of human evolution, technology, and the ethical challenges we might face in the future. His journey and insights as an augmented ethical hacker are sure to inspire and provoke meaningful conversations.
🐍 Rejah Rehim and Manindar Mohan have distilled their expertise into a technical yet accessible guide to leveraging Python for offensive security—a must-read for those looking to dive deep into this space.
I’m looking forward to delving into both books, absorbing the lessons they offer, and incorporating those learnings into my personal and professional growth.
If you’re interested in exploring thought leadership on human augmentation or advancing your technical skills in offensive security, I highly recommend giving these books a read.
Let’s celebrate authors who pour their hearts into sharing their knowledge—it’s a monumental effort that deserves recognition.
