Basic Electronics : From Credit Card Skimmers to Key Stroke Loggers
A required course for all Technology majors, this class will ensure that you’re up-to-date on the basics. Learn how to craft simple devices that can skim credit and debit card information. Construct hardware-based loggers that will record every keystroke (and password) made on a target computer. The fundamentals of surveillance are also covered, including instruction on assembling eavesdropping equipment, covert listening devices, and roving bugs.
How to Lead a Life of Crime synopsis:
A Meth Dealer. A Prostitute. A Serial Killer.
Anywhere else, they’d be vermin. At the Mandel Academy, they’re called prodigies. The most exclusive school in New York City has been training young criminals for over a century. Only the most ruthless students are allowed to graduate. The rest disappear.
Flick, a teenage pickpocket, has risen to the top of his class. But then Mandel recruits a fierce new competitor who also happens to be Flick’s old flame. They’ve been told only one of them will make it out of the Mandel Academy. Will they find a way to save each other—or will the school destroy them both?
Kirsten Miller is also the author of the Kiki Strike series and The Eternal Ones series.

I love this tour. The whole concept of classes for criminals totally grabs my attention. I’m trying to hit all the stops so I can read the course descriptions. I love that they call this course one for “basic electronics.”
This is my very next read and I can’t wait!
