This book calls for a limerick of "me" own: This is how the world will end. This is how the world will end. Not with the roar of a lion But with the click of a mouse. Mitnick's and Vamosi's book is for the layman. You won't find here buffer overflows (NOP sled, or overwriting the stack return p...
I totally enjoyed reading this book. It is the first time in a college class that I have enjoyed the text book.I had this on my DNF shelf, which is totally misleading. I didn't finish it because I ran out of time that year. I have the book sitting on my bookshelf, waiting to be continued. This book ...

OK, save the world in Zero Day, but don't let on, so when this all comes up again two years later, the folks in the intelligence services don't know what you have done, suspect you are just a cowboy, and you can almost get killed again.

The plot does get more and more ludicrous as the story lurches from one manufactured crisis to the other. I don't really care how close it follows the Stuxnet worm Modus...
Kevin Mitnick is brilliant! Very entertaining and informative. Although I'm not a computer geek myself, I understood the technical parts.
I kept wondering as I read this: what's the other side to this story? Mitnick's creativity and perseverance really impress me, but at the same time he really comes across as a sociopath who's sense of entitlement and lack of ethics annoy me - especially when he spends such a large portion of the boo...
The Art of Deception is written by a hacker (or, as he calls himself, a “social engineer”) and describes the ways in which hackers can exploit human nature to bypass security measures. The book was hyped as being “like reading the climaxes of a dozen complex thrillers”, but I don’t think it lived u...
This was Kevin D. Mitnick's "get even" book. The sole reason for writing it seems to have been to name everybody who ever did him a bad turn. The hacking, and particularly the social engineering, is fascinating, but the character is a louse. He seems to think that just because he didn't intend to ...
