About the Book

Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. With the help of true stories of successful attacks on business and government, he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are. Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims, he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented. And, perhaps most importantly, Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols, training programs, and manuals that address the human element of security. Please note: This is a historical recording. The audio quality represents the technology of the time when it was produced.
