Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box is a unique book in the fiction department. It combines stories that are false,with technology that is real. While none of the stories have happened, there is no reason why they could not. You could
argue it provides a road map for criminal hackers, but I say it does something else; it provides a glimpse into the creative minds of some of today’s best hackers, and even the best hackers will tell you that the game is mental one. The phrase "Root is a state of mind", coined by K0resh, and printed on shirts from DEF CON, sums this up nicely. While you may have the skills, if you lack the mental fortitude you will never reach the top. This is what separates the truly elite hackers from the wanna be hackers.

Great, scary, eye-opening, even funny...
This is a collection of stories about hacking written by security experts. My guess is that some, if not all, are hackers themselves--whether good or bad ones I can't say. The stories are well written and provide some keen insight into the minds of hackers, as well as to their techniques. You will not find step-by-step instructions or tutorials here; it's not that kind of a book. You will find out how a hacker lives, how they get around, how they do their dirty work.
