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