Book Description
Dear Stupid Idiots, A lot of you have been saying that I don't know anything about REAL ninjas. But that's a bunch of bull crap! You dummies don't know anything. And maybe YOU should get a life. I bet a lot of you have never even seen a girl naked! You idiots believe that ninjas had some "code of honor." Yeah right! If by "code of honor," you mean "code to flip out and go nuts for absolutely no reason at all even if it means that people might think you are totally insane or sweet," then you are right. But if you mean a "code to be nice and speak nicely while sharing and not cutting off heads," then you're the biggest idiot ever!!!!!! So if you have any brains, you will shut up and get a life. So go shut up, you stupid idiot. No thank you, Robert Hamburger

 Wittgenstein Power August 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
With REAL ULTIMATE POWER, Robert Hamburger has written a great mocking treatise on everything Ninja, using the topic to pick apart the freaky passions of the pre, or near, pubescent male in western society. Of course, this is assuming that "Hamburger" is indeed a pen name; if not, an explanation using intentional fallacy must come into play... The epitome of satire is being named among those one satirizes, thus with the current moniker of "Frat-Lit," it seems Hamburger has completed his mission. Will he rest among the great satirists such as Swift, Dryden, Twain, Orwell, or even Groening? Perhaps not. Yet while Robert Hamburger may be young in years, he is no child, and there should be a regarded place for his work. And a great work it is. It is too easy to "after-the-fact" pick apart the banal aspects of REAL ULTIMATE POWER; much harder to find the deeper meaning among the interstices.
Then again, I've not laughed out loud as much during a reading in many years. This may be a sign of a personal lack of taste, or perhaps even an indictment of low art. However, the astute reader will surely find the value hidden in this work.
This is a book about Computer Hacking August 10, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a masterfully written book about computer hacking - wireless hacking, ARP spoofing, malformed packets, protocol violations, Back Orifice, man in the middle, bluetooth, radio, etc.
These reviews, while a valiant cover-up effort, are completely absurd. Nice try, doodz.
This is a hacking masterpiece. Every security professional should read this. Fortunately for the dark side - they won't.
great deployment book August 9, 2008

I found this book shortly after my arrival to Iraq for my first deployment. It was a great read and gave us reason to laugh every time we opened it. I ended up buying a copy for my brother when he deployed...he and I still draw quotes from this book today!
 Stupid But Funny - That's the Point June 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this for one reason... to get my order up so I could get free shipping. It's meant to be written by a kid who loves ninjas (and who doesn't love ninjas) and is somewhat along the vein of askaninja.com but not quite as ... ahem ... sophisticated. I did catch myself laughing out loud a few times, so right there, the book is worth it for me. Of course, some of it is dumb but I've never read any book that I totally loved, front to back. Neither of them. It's cheap, it's funny, and is good ninja training material for when all ninjas are called up to save the world.
 Don't bother with it May 31, 2008

I bought this along with another book, thinking it would be a fun read. I couldn't even make it through the first chapter. Very stupid. I'm surprised it made it to publication.
