Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great read, again.
The same author wrote "The Watchman" which is about Kevin Poulsen. I loved that book and this book.
It's good to read a more reliable story on Mitnick than what came from garbage that John Markoff wrote. You actually get to hear the stories the way Mitnick explains them. He trusted Littman (the author) enough during his hiding time to call him and talk to him for hours at a time and explain what he's done, what he didn't do and his life on the run. You also get to see snippets ... Read More
Rating:  - intriguing book!
I saw the movie "Track Down" with Skeet Ulrich and that intrigued me enough to want to read this book.
I really enjoyed this book and found it very informative and fair to the subjects, since it is a true story.
highly recommend if you are interested in computers and those that hack, just from the vicarious thrill, as well as how to protect yourself online!
Rating:  - Good but......
Well, maybe it's because I always wanted to live the new economy revolution that happened there in that time and I always wanted to be "connected" even if I was too young and my parents could not understand my point. I'm a bit "obsessed" by this story and not just because there's still something to be clarified, but because the scenario and the period where these events are based mean something in the Internet history. I've red the books, the documents, the reports, the old post messages and nearly ... Read More
Rating: - reads like a thriller
This is the best book I read about Kevin Mitnick's exploits, time on the run, and eventual arrest. It reads like a thriller, is true to it's subject material, and is informative too. If you want to know the story behind one of the country's most noted computer hackers, this is the book to read. (Until of course he publishes his memoirs :-)).
Rating: - No such thing as ethical hacking
Face it, whether you're a white hat or a black hat - hacking is hacking. Alas, the term "ethical hacker" is merely a way for those breaking the law to rationalize their behavior. Littman did a great job of exposing this great debate in the book. In the field of information security, Mitnick is known to all of us as the king of social engineering. Let's be completely honest (even Mitnick and Littman exposed this in the book)... Kevin is not good at hacking but rather at exploiting the human factor. ... Read More
