Complex and controversial, hackers possess a wily, fascinating talent, the machinations of which are shrouded in secrecy. Providing in-depth exploration into this largely uncharted territory, Profiling Hackers: The Science of Criminal Profiling as Applied to the World of Hacking offers insight into the hacking realm by telling attention-grabbing tales about bizarre characters that practice hacking as an art.
Focusing on the relationship between technology and crime and drawn from the research conducted by the Hackers Profiling Project (HPP), this volume applies the behavioral science of criminal profiling to the world of internet predators. The authors reveal hidden aspects of the cyber-crime underground, answering questions such as: Who is a real hacker? What life does a hacker lead when not on-line? Is it possible to determine a hacker’s profile on the basis of his behavior or types of intrusion? What is the motive behind phishing, pharming, viruses, and worms?
After gaining notoriety for breaking into many high-profile computer systems, the Italian hacker Raoul Chiesa turned to ethical hacking in 1995. Today he uses his skills and abilities to find ways to protect networks and computer systems. Stefania Ducci is a member of the Counter Human Trafficking and Emerging Crimes Unit at the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI). Silvio Ciappi is a criminologist who lectures at the University of Pisa and studies criminal profiling. These three experts with vastly different backgrounds explore the clandestine network of cyber-criminals, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the secret lives of these malevolent individuals.

Free Profiling Hackers: The Science of Criminal Profiling as Applied to the World of Hacking
I am a graduate student in cybersecurity and purchased this book for research about the psychological profiling of cyber intrusion actors in the Human Aspects of Cybersecurity course I was taking. So many reformed hackers have objected to the term, "hacker," being used across the board, so the politically correct term used today is "actor." Referring to actors in the nomenclature allows for a discussion of an intrusion without needing to prematurely address cybercriminal subtypes.
This book discusses a taxonomy for profiling intrusion actors. Historically, the psychological profiling of criminals was adapted for cybercrime. Psychological profiling is not well suited to theoretical concepts since it is a practical application of psychology and cannot encompass the entire range of human functioning. For instance, Costa and McCrae's Five Factor Theory includes numerous factors tethered to personality and properties reliant on it, however, certain aspects of criminal behavior such as modus operandi are excluded. Such limitations in differing approaches exacerbate the schism that exists in profiling cybercriminals.
This book relies on the research conducted during the Hacker's Profiling Project (HPP) (which is still ongoing) that seeks to add other dimension(s) to profiling. Promoters of the HPP assert that further exploration is needed in profiling actors since such an undertaking is more multifaceted than previous models reveal. Rather than use a taxonomy that segregates actors by skills, knowledge, and motive, HPP adds both deductive methods (crime "scene" observations) and inductive methods (compiling data from biographical, questionnaires) as well as interviews of both former and current actors.
I recommend this book to anyone who is seeking to learn more about the hurdles in profiling cyberspace intrusion actors.

Being a hacker myself I am deeply offended by how they lump the term "hacker" with crime. Hacking isn't about breaking into someone's computer and stealing their data or any other computer related crime, that is actually looked down upon in the hacker community. We have a name for people like that, we call them crackers. Hacking is a type of exploration or playful cleverness. It's doing something hard just for the sake of doing it. In short I don't recommend this book to anyone who really wants to learn what hackers are or do.

If you want a good book about hackers Paul Graham's book "Hackers and Painters" is a great read.
