The Art of Intrusion: The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders and Deceivers - Kevin D. Mitnick & William L. Simon

"Enter the hostile world of computer crime from the comfort of your own armchair. Mitnick presents ten compelling chapters, each the result of an interview with a real hacker about a real attack. A must-read for anyone with an interest in information security."
Tom Parker, Computer Security Analyst and founder of Global InterSec LLC "Each chapter begins with a computer crime story that reads like a suspense novel."
Library Journal
"It would be difficult to find an author with more credibility than Mitnick to write about the art of hacking. . . . [The Art of Intrusion] introduces readers to a fascinating array of pseudonymous hackers. One group bilks Las Vegas casinos out of more than a million dollars by mastering the patterns inherent in slot machines; another fellow, less fortunate, gets mixed up with a presumed al-Qaedastyle terrorist. . . . Uniformly readable, the stories . . . will impart familiar lessons to security pros while introducing lay readers to an enthralling field of inquiry."
