REVIEW: The Art of Intrusion by Kevin Mitnick

 

 

The Art of Intrusion:

The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders, and Deceivers.

Kevin Mitnick a well known hacker, turned security consultant after being captured and prosecuted, shares stories not of himself (per say), but of other hackers willing to share their stories with him. 

I must admit, the book is very well written and intended as an educational tool for anyone that reads it. Not in the sense that your are taught how to hack, but Kevin presents the information in a way that leaves the reader with a good sense of vulnerability. Each chapter represents a different aspect of intrusion along with commentary and lesson’s learned.

You do not have to be a computer geek to read this book, but those that are will still find it very captivating. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the mind set behind the hackers who share their experiances and wish to utilize the information in a way that brings added personal and corporate security to light.
