The use of the word “hack” in the title of this book and throughout its pages is deliberate.We’re aware that this word means several different things to different people, so we’ll explain that in this chapter.We’ll also explain how the book is organized and what you might expect for the skill levels necessary to understand the techniques we write about.This chapter will also take a look at what the current climate is in regards to hacking, reverse-engineering, copy protection, and the law.We wouldn’t want to hand you a new toy without telling you about all the trouble you could get yourself into. |
