Here’s what everyone is saying about Hackers: Superheroes of the Digital Age

We're thrilled to have received glowing reviews since our launch in December 2022! Readers have praised the thrilling plotline, real-world accuracy of the hacks depicted and advocacy for ethical hacking. We’re thankful for every one of you and can't wait to bring you more exciting adventures of our modern hacker superhero!

I just finished reading the first issue of the newly released Hackers: Superheroes of the Digital Age. The storyline is very captivating, and once I started reading, it was hard for me to stop. It took me back to the early days of my career as a Pentester and refreshed some of my memories on the OSINT process and tools I used for port scanning.

Vivek Ramachandran is a great storyteller, without a doubt. I would highly recommend reading this comic and share with your kids too. Vivek is able to explain the very complex hacking methods in simple and easy-to-understand examples with his story. In this issue, you will be able to understand the "Hacker's mindset", and learn about Firmware hacking, Social Engineering, Port scanning and the OSINT process.

Great work, Vivek and kudos for all your effort. I am already a big fan of your work with Security Tube, Pentester Academy and now this comic series. I can't wait to read the next issue. The suspense is killing me now :-).

  • For anyone wanting to learn about how OSINT is done and helpful in cases of actual hack execution, the book gives an excellent perspective. It is also a perfect script that can be enacted live in Defcon. I loved at the end how the hacks used are explained in the last three pages. I am now eagerly waiting for the next issue :)

    — Karthik Mahalingam, Technical Program Manager

  • I love the realistic hacks used. The social engineering, the thought process, the different methods used locked me into the story. The added bonus was the explanation of the hacks at the end!! I can't even explain how much I loved this idea!!!

    — Josh M. Whitney, Network Pen Tester

  • “I genuinely loved the "Dissecting the hacks" part of the comic. It's something I never expected. It'd help non-techie folks to understand the hacks, they won't be confused with some technical jargon.”

    — 0xPratyaksh

“Once you start you cannot stop until the end of the episode. All technical aspects around remote access and network penetration have been articulated in so simple terms.”

— Ravi, Specialist-Project Manager

“Awesome first issue, more than anything the ethical dilemma faced on how and when to apply knowledge is great to highlight.”

Wayne Langdon, Co-Founder at Purple Packet Security

“I have been reading comics for a very long time now and can say this one is absolutely top notch, Storyline is so well designed it kept me hooked from very first page.”
