The Art of Deception is Mitnick’s treatise on social engineering, or the art of “getting people to do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do for a stranger”. Mitnick, who recently spent a few years in a very small room because of his actions, is certainly a master at this, and the book gives a litany of anecdotes telling how people, with just a few innocent questions, can get access to some of the most secure computer systems. The book is written in a conversational tone - it almost sounds like someone is sitting next to you at a bar, telling you war stories. And stories they are. From the simplest tales of people pretending to be co-workers, and asking for important information, to more complex scams involving a series of carefully-scripted phone calls, or stories on getting past guards with smooth talk, Mitnick shows that, in many cases, hackers don’t need to sweat their nights away in dark rooms lit only by the bluish light of their monitors, fueled by gallons of coffee. |

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. |
