Review Hackerteen Internet blackout - volume 1
As a programmer and father of 4 sons I decided to see if this book could help me to teach my boys the good and bad sites from the internet.
The book is well produced, it looks fine and attractive. (It's a comic book )
The story starts with a for me familiar scenario, a boy who spends a lot of time on the internet playing games, chatting en poking around on social networks.
After that his parents bring him to Hackerteen an educational project that trains teenagers to work with computer security. (see www.hackerteen.com)
The rest of the story points out some potential bad uses of the internet and shows what the community can achieve while working together as a team.
I liked the web links in the story directing you to the Hackerteen website explaining internet and programming terms
The hackerteen website states:
"HackerTeen has no intent of creating hackers, much less crackers, though we do show young people the road to take in order to become an ethical hacker by providing them with the necessary skills to do so."
I think this book will help them to achieve this goal. I'm curious for the next volume.
