Financial Hacking by Philip Maymin Pdf

This book teaches financial engineering in an innovative way: by providing tools and a point of view to quickly and easily solve real front-office problems. Projects and simulations are not just exercises in this book, but its heart and soul. You will not only learn how to do state-of-the-art simulations and build exotic derivatives valuation models, you will also learn how to quickly make reasonable inferences based on incomplete information. This book will give you the expertise to make significant progress in understanding brand new derivatives given only a preliminary term sheet, thus making you extraordinarily valuable to banks, brokerage houses, trading floors, and hedge funds. Financial Hacking is not about long, detailed mathematical proofs or brief summaries of conventional financial theories; it is about engineering specific, useable answers to imprecise but important questions. It is an essential book both for students and for practitioners of financial engineering. MBAs in finance learn case-method and standard finance mainly by talking. Mathematical finance students learn the elegance and beauty of formulas mainly by manipulating symbols. But financial engineers need to learn how to build useful tools, and the best way to do that is to actually build them in a test environment, with only hypothetical profits or losses at stake. That's what this book does. It is like a trading desk sandbox that prepares graduate students or others looking to move closer to trading operations.

The Black Book of Financial Hacking by Johann Christian Lotter Pdf

A trader's dream: Sitting with a cool beer on the beach while his computer breeds money with automated trading. Can this actually work? It depends. This textbook covers the "algorithmic" part of algorithmic trading - not with "technical indicators", but with modern methods based on solid math and statistics. The author has developed so far about 600 trading systems for institutes and private traders, and writes about his experiences on the blog "The Financial Hacker". In his book you'll learn the tricks and traps, which methods work and which don't, and how to develop a trading system from the first idea until going live.

All prospective traders interested in algorithmic trading should take a look at this book." TRADERS' August 2016

Black Hat Banking by M. Faulkner Pdf

There are thousands of financial resources for those with a 9-to-5 job and boxes of well-kept tax records. Although the US FBI estimates that a full 40% of the world's economy is "off the books," there just isn't an easy way to find an ask-no-questions accountant. Until now, those of us with unpopular, questionable, or outright illicit sources of income had no guide whatsoever. Fortunately the Black Hats of the world have already charted a clear path in this area out of their own necessity. Black Hat Banking is a guide for anyone that has a need to keep their income private, without sacrificing the security of their assets. Black Hat Banking is more than just a guide to offshore banking and asset protection. Here you'll discover the full breadth of the US and International financial surveillance network and learn how to avoid invasions of privacy and unwanted scrutiny. By utilizing the latest crypto-currencies and all manner of loopholes in the system, you too can secure your wealth as professional hackers do. Along with a complete explanation of how high-end hackers and organized crime operate, the author dispels misconceptions regarding large cash transactions and reporting requirements for banks, while establishing best practices for entrepreneurs concerned with their financial privacy. Reader beware: this is not a book that toes the line of political correctness, nor does it pay homage to the concept of American Exceptionalism. Black Hat Banking begins with the assumption that there are those of us that simply cannot trust traditional banking systems, especially those influenced by big government interest. With a more international worldview the author offers a map to safe offshore banking and simple asset protection techniques. Black Hat Banking is written by M. Blaine Faulkner, AKA CygonX, one of the world's most infamous cybercriminals. As the man was once an international fugitive on both INTERPOL's and the FBI's most wanted list, his writing reflects his personal experience with law enforcement and his ongoing asset protection techniques. This book destroys naive worldviews regarding benevolent governments with their citizen's best interest in mind; not a book for the American Middle Class. This book has a singular focus of financial privacy at all costs, with the Libertarian idea that anyone has the potential to be an international citizen, and the right to manage their own wealth free, of government regulation and manipulation. If you have a need to secure your finances outside of traditional banking systems, this book is for you.

Hackers and Hacking by Thomas J. Holt,Bernadette H. Schell Pdf

This book provides an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon of hacking from a multidisciplinary perspective that addresses the social and technological aspects of this unique activity as well as its impact. What defines the social world of hackers? How do individuals utilize hacking techniques against corporations, governments, and the general public? And what motivates them to do so? This book traces the origins of hacking from the 1950s to today and provides an in-depth exploration of the ways in which hackers define themselves, the application of malicious and ethical hacking techniques, and how hackers' activities are directly tied to the evolution of the technologies we use every day. Rather than presenting an overly technical discussion of the phenomenon of hacking, this work examines the culture of hackers and the technologies they exploit in an easy-to-understand format. Additionally, the book documents how hacking can be applied to engage in various forms of cybercrime, ranging from the creation of malicious software to the theft of sensitive information and fraud—acts that can have devastating effects upon our modern information society.
