 "Duvelsprie' (duivels kreng) is gebaseerd op een waargebeurd verhaal uit de stamboom van de vrouw van de schrijver.

We schrijven het jaar 1721. Anna, een meisje van 16 en haar vriend Jean komen met hun pasgeboren zoon Joes aan in het Zuid-Limburgse Schinnen. Ze zijn op de vlucht voor schande en armoe.

Bij aankomst overlijdt vader Jean plotseling. Nu moet Anna zich met haar kindje alléén zien te redden in een streng-religieuze omgeving. Waar het op dat moment onrustig is. De bevolking verarmt, ‘s nachts wordt er ingebroken in kerken en grote boerderijen. De autoriteiten reageren genadeloos: in honderden processen worden honderden mensen vervolgd en ter dood gebracht, de zogenaamde bokkenrijders.


De jonge moeder en haar zoontje Joes worden aanvankelijk meegesleurd in die kolkende stroom. Maar in de loop der jaren lijkt Anna greep te krijgen op haar leven. Het gaat steeds beter met haar en haar zoontje. En toch wringt er iets. Hoe meer het leven haar schenkt, hoe meer ze kwijtraakt. Dat jonge, felle meisje, die duvelsprie, die aanvankelijk alleen de weg van haar hart volgde, maakt gaandeweg berekenende keuzes, die ten koste gaan van geliefden en mensen die net zo kwetsbaar zijn als zij ooit was. Daarmee geeft ze een heel andere betekenis aan het begrip duvelsprie.


Maar… had ze überhaupt andere keuzes kunnen maken in die tijd, in die omgeving- als straatarme alleenstaande moeder met een kind?

This book is the real deal
Format: Paperback
This book is the real deal. I found it to be eye-opening, because, despite sounding very advanced and almost next-level, the attacks accompanied by source code show how simple and effective they are in reality. This book seemed light at first (200 pages), so I was skeptical at it's ability to really tackle advanced topics, but I will say I was very pleasantly surprised. Those two hundred pages are action packed and filled with jaw-dropping 'this is cool' moments. My only gripe with it is that it's a little formulaic, with the social engineering being shoehorned into every attack, and maybe pushing the whole APT thing too much, like when you really want something to become 'a thing'. Do we really need to socially engineer payloads using the same formula for all of the attacks? Not even one 'ha Ked the router with boring Cisco exploits' example? I guess it wouldn't make for an entertaining book.

Best pentest book read to date
Format: Paperback
This is the best penetration testing book that I have ever read to date. There is such a depth of understanding of penetration testing that is conveyed in this book in the way that the author is able to portray highly advanced topics in a conceptually understandable way. A novice might not be able to follow the text, as it is advanced, but for anyone looking to open their mindset up to becoming a more effective penetration tester, I HIGHLY advise this book.

Worth every penny
Format: Paperback
This book is in a class of its own compared to other security and pentesting books. I would highly recommend to anyone interested or currently working in network security. Instead of simply explaining how to use common pentesting tools, Wil Allsopp explains how they work and how to write your own custom tools from the ground up. Even if you do not have a programming background, it is worth understanding how an attacker can infiltrate a "secure" network without being detected.

Format: Paperback
Bought yesterday, can't put it down -- will reread it again this week. This book is a solid gold mine on pulling our InfoSec heads out of our InfoSec tailpipes and focusing on the modes and methods our real adversaries are using. (Pro Tip: They aren't using crappy malware, so if you're InfoSec program is built on stopping malware you should be concerned.) We all hear about the social engineering component to an effective attack, but to see it so effectively used over and over again with Wil's case studies really drives home the point. If you're involved in either the management of an Information Security program, or involved in the more tactical parts of penetration testing, I'd put this on your short list of books to read this year. I hope he does a follow-up.
