In less than ten years, the Internet has become accessible to everyone. The world's major powers are preparing for war on the Internet. Secret services are recruiting hackers. Those we call hackers will be at the forefront of these cyber conflicts. Spam, scams, attacks by zombie computers, spreading destructive viruses, all ways to make a fortune at the expense of citizen users and large corporations. The gradation of crime on the Internet is like the medium itself: a fair where individual or collective creativity takes on ever more astonishing forms. Russia, the USA, Estonia, Israel, our investigation takes us to the hot spots where hackers and governments clash. We meet colorful characters like "Captain Crunch" who invented computer hacking in the 70s or the Badir brothers, three blind Palestinians, who infiltrated the systems of Tsahal, the Israeli army. "Cyber Guerrilla" first shows us how, thanks to the Internet, the clandestine malware industry is accumulating an arsenal of weapons of mass disruption and then explains why those who control these weapons will be able to decide the outcome of the next war.
