Hacker extraordinaire Kevin Mitnick delivers the explosive encore to his bestselling
The Art of Deception
Kevin Mitnick, the world's most celebrated hacker, now devotes his life to
helping businesses and governments combat data thieves, cybervandals, and other
malicious computer intruders. In his bestselling The Art of Deception, Mitnick
presented fictionalized case studies that illustrated how savvy computer crackers
use "social engineering" to compromise even the most technically secure
computer systems. Now, in his new book, Mitnick goes one step further, offering
hair-raising stories of real-life computer break-ins-and showing how the victims
could have prevented them. Mitnick's reputation within the hacker community
gave him unique credibility with the perpetrators of these crimes, who freely
shared their stories with him-and whose exploits Mitnick now reveals in detail
for the first time, including:
- A group of friends who won nearly a million dollars in Las Vegas by reverse-engineering
slot machines
- Two teenagers who were persuaded by terrorists to hack into the Lockheed
Martin computer systems
- Two convicts who joined forces to become hackers inside a Texas prison
- A "Robin Hood" hacker who penetrated the computer systems of
many prominent companies-andthen told them how he gained access
With riveting "you are there" descriptions of real computer break-ins,
indispensable tips on countermeasures security professionals need to implement
now, and Mitnick's own acerbic commentary on the crimes he describes, this book
is sure to reach a wide audience-and attract the attention of both law enforcement
agencies and the media.
