Fetch The Blue Nowhere Composed By Jeffery Deaver Accessible In Publication

my favorite Jeffrey Deaver Novel, Originally published on my blog sitelinkhere in October,

Jeffrey Deaver may usually be a writer of traditional thrillers, but with The Blue Nowhere he joins the small group of authors who can convincingly depict the world of the computer hacker sitelinkNeal Stephenson and sitelinkWilliam Gibson being the best known of the others.


The basic plot of The Blue Nowhere is a computerised version of the Eddie Murphy filmHours a hacker is let out of prison to help the LAPD Computer Crimes Unit track down another hacker, who has the screen name Phate, who has turned serial killer.
The actual crime plot is pretty hackneyed, but the computing background means that the novel is more than just a run of the mill police procedural.
The style, by the way, is similar to sitelinkMichael Connelly,

The one part of the plot which seems unlikely, if not impossible, is the program used by Phate to target the victims, which is named Trapdoor.
Deaver admids in the acknowledgements that the experts he consulted were dubious about the way it is supposed to work, Phate has cracked one of the major Internet routers, and uses a steganographic and the proof reader of the novel should note the spelling of the word method to infect the target machine, sending small sections of the Trapdoor program in individual IP packets which are part of the normal online communication.
Steganographic means "hidden writing" , and is the process of writing a secret message as part of an innocent one, say be using every twentieth character, or altering specified bits of an image file.
To put the information into IP packets, given control of a router, would not be particularly difficult, The problem is that once the data reaches the target computer, it needs to be separated out from the genuine information, reassembled and then executed, and I can't see any way that this could be done barring serious bugs in the IP stack and operating system of the computer being attacked.
This is essentially the same reason that a virus spread as an email attachment is not activated unless the user or operating system is conned into executing opening the attachment computers need a reason to run a piece of software.
The reasons that systems are vulnerable to cracking are generally attributable to human carelessness, such things as users writing down passwords or using obvious words, or bugs in software which can be exploited.


Since the Trapdoor program is important to the plot, this is something of a problem yet the convincing nature of the rest of the setting makes it easy enough to suspend disbelief and enjoy the novel.
Nelquando ho letto questo thriller le cose riguardanti il misterioso mondo sommerso di Internet, il profondo blu, chiamato dagli hacker, era qualcosa di attuale,
Adesso chiaramente anche il Deep web è profondamente cambiato, la tecnologia muta in continuazione, ma ciò nonostante continuo a pensare che sia un bellissimo cyberpsychothriller che merita la lettura.
This was the first book by this author that I have read after a work colleague recommended it to me aboutyears ago, Having finally got round to reading it, I found myself really enjoying it, It is a very, very scary look at the world for cyberspace and IT in general, I work in IT and it scared me a lot!
The story's main character is Gillette who is hacker, He starts off the

book in prison for hacking into the Department of Defence computers and allegedly running a piece of software that could encrypt their 'unbreakable' Standardsoftware.
The police are after a hacker by the name of Phate who is hacking into people's computers, finding out information about them and then killing them and his assistant Shawn.
The police know that the only way catch Phate is to play him at his own game, Enter Gillette. The level of detail and knowledge in is book is brilliant, There is a very modern fear that we will all be hacked' and that people can find out a lot of information about us and Deaver has exploited our fear very well.
The thing that makes this book so scary is that you can actually see this happening, This could be a possibility,
I don't agree with other reviewers opinions that if you are not a computer person', you should not read this book, I think this book will appeal to everyone, regardless of your level of computer knowledge,
This book gripped me from the start and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I will now seek out more of this books, A stand alone cyber thriller by Jeffery Deaver published,

All in all, a pretty good cyber thriller, Given that the book is nowyears old the computer language is a bit dated, floppy disks and dial up modems, but that apart it holds up really well as an entertaining read.


There is a vicious serial killer on the loose and the police are always a step behind the killer, No matter what they do the killer always seems to be able to predict their every move, The police know that the killer is a master computer hacker and no one in computer crimes comes anywhere near to his level of brilliance, At their wits end the police decide to ask Wyatt Gillette, another brilliant hacker, to help, The only major problem is that Wyatt is in gaol, serving time for cyber crimes,

Wyatt, of course, jumps at the chance to be A out of gaol and B to be doing what he lives for, hacking the internet.


What makes this such an interesting read is that both of the hackers are constantly writing code to lure their opponents into make a mistake that will either find the killer or, in the killers cases, create even more death and destruction.
There is so much subterfuge going on that there are red herrings everywhere, enough to keep most readers on their toes,

On the downside, theres a fair bit of technical computer talk, which for the uninitiated, might be a bit boring,
Also, what the author was proposing to happen was, at that time, impossible but ten years later this was not the case,
It never fails to amaze me how todays science fiction often becomes tomorrows science fact,

An entertainingstar read,

More twists than a Kentucky back road, Lots of technical information that will scare you to go on line, I am new to Jeffery Deaver and a little behind the techno curve for this novel, but it was a page turner, Pebble recommended Deaver. I have readand working on another one, Thanks Pebble. I really enjoyed this book, so many years after it was published, Even though technology is advancing so rapidly in our time, this book still feels relevant, Of course, the use of floppy disks is rather outdated! But Deaver created a protagonist that I really liked, and an extremely formidable antagonist, which greatly contributed to the story.
As you would expect of a Deaver novel, it is full of twists and turns, and it will keep you hooked to the last page, I liked it. Really liked it. The reason I havent gave it ais because I think that at the moments some things could have been done faster, . Nhìn chung thì đây là một cuốn khá hấp dẫn, Tuy nhiên theo như tớ thấy thì ngôn ngữ máy tính có vẻ đã hơi lỗi thời một xíu.


Nội dung chủ yếu là cótên giết người hang loạt đang hoạt động và cảnh sát thì không thể tóm được hắn.
Bất kể cảnh sát đang làm gì thì tên giết người dường như luôn có thể đoán trước được mọi chuyện.
Tay giết người làhacker ở mức phù thuỷ và không có nhiều người có thể đạt được level giống như hắn.
Cùng đường, cảnh sát phải nhờ sự trợ giúp của một tay hacker khác Wyatt Gillette, người đang phải ở tù với tội danh tội phạm mạng.


Và tất nhiên và Wyatt đồng ý vìhắn ta có thể thoát khỏi tù vàlà hắn có thể tiếp tục làm việc hắn nghiên hacking internet.


Điều làm cho cuốn sách này trở nên thú vị là cả hai tin tặc đều liên tục viết mã để dụ đối thủ của họ phạm sai lầm để tìm ra kẻ giết người.
Có rất nhiều điều thú vị đang diễn ra đủ để khiến hầu hết độc giả phải chú ý,

Nhưng vì cuốn sách này theo tớ thì có khá nhiều thuật ngữ liên quan đến máy tính và làm tớ khá khó hiểu ở một số đoạn.
Nhưng cũng không thể phủ nhận sự hấp dẫn của khoa học máy tính được, Và tớ cũng rất tò mò không biết sau một thế kỉ nữa con người ta sẽ có thể làm được những gì với một chiếc máy tính nữa.
