It looks like the <http://www.happyhacker.org> site is down (and changing .org to .com
gives, um, something rather different, offensive to those that support Bill Clinton...)
so I took a look back at amazon.com to see about availability of the book.

They do carry "The Happy Hacker Book"; the reviews are not particularly glowing, and
I'm inclined to go along with them.  The book definitely looked to have some component
of the "lurid;" not a particularly authoritative reference, but with some sections on
the use of "cracking scripts" that could be useful.

Some of the reviewers suggest that "Hacking Exposed" is a much better
book, and that seems borne out by review material, but hopefully someone
has seen the book.  That book is also available at Spamazon; some others
that appear of interest include:

not." -- Chip Salzenberg, when commenting on Perl6/C++
