Someone please edit the title: it is "Swartz", not "Schwartz".

From the book:

> This is a book about hacking in the traditional sense: about the process and methods of exploration.

Probably HN is the most appropriate forum to post this. Thank you bunnie for making this excellent work available to all!

bunnie's book launched a revolution in hardware hacking. I hope it will continue to be the start of many more.

Aaron's death cannot and must not be forgotten. Support the people and organizations who work for our freedoms and keep the fires burning, always.

There are times I wish there was an option to use some of my karma points to upvote a submission further. This would be one of those times. This is the kind of thing I come to HN looking for that I'm unlikely to find other places.

Can someone provide a mirror for the pdf file please ? I can't download it. Seems too much load on the server.
