About the Book
Attack Surface is the third book in Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother series. It follows Masha Maximow, a tech specialist who worked for private military contractors and intelligence agencies, as she grapples with the moral implications of surveillance technology and decides to use her skills to fight back against authoritarian systems.
The book is packed with real-world technology references, from Tor and Signal to IMSI-catchers and adversarial perturbation. This glossary aims to help readers understand these technologies better.
