Book for Hacking Windows XP - Extreme Tech by Steve Sinchak

[Psykiller]

I have taken an admission in IT Degree and i am taking very much interest in hacking and all things. But i do not want to hack any system by wrong intentions but i just want to hack systems to make some good changes in it. So i thought why not to start with the Windows XP itself which i am using from last 3 years. I have heard that the "Hacking Windows XP - Extreme Tech" written by Steve Sinchak is a nice book for learning the tricks to hack windows xp system and even eBooks are also available. Can anybody tell me that how this book is and should i use it or not?

This book is great source to understand the working and back end of the Windows XP operating system. This book does not contain any content which make you hack this operating system but it would be giving you the knowledge about customizing the Windows XP operating system so you must not take Hacking term in a negative way.
