” When my computer is on the 'blink' I slap it, or shake it, as one would with an old wooden framed television. I am told that there are no tubes in a computer and that slapping or shaking it will not get the same response as it used to, as the youngest member of the family would hold the TV aerial in place so the rest could see a clear picture. All things I did in my childhood. I have therefore had to update my IT skills; now I switch the computer off and then on again. This is the scope of my computer knowledge. I am giving you this information so that you understand that I have no idea what Ben is talking about in this book and could not possibly comment on the digital aspects with any surety. It is well beyond anything I understand. However, I do know something of Japan’s shinobi (ninja) and I can tell you that Ben McCarty has done his homework on the subject. Using my team’s translations of the Three Great Ninja Manuals, he has dug down deep into the subject of medieval espionage. If his knowledge of cybersecurity is on par with his research into Japanese security then you have in your hands a good quality book. It has been a pleasure to see how he has taken old concepts which revolve around infiltration and defense in the medieval world and used them as examples of how security in the modern world holds to the same principles. I wish Ben all the luck in the world with his book. I hope that you have gained some insight into what it means to be a real shinobi from old Japan, and also that you can now delve deeper into your own personal protection, both offline and on.
