Description:

Hacker extraordinaire Kevin Mitnick delivers the
explosive encore to his bestselling The Art of DeceptionKevin 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.
