My Adventures as the World's Most Wanted Hacker

Ghost in the Wires

Kevin Mitnick, the world's most famous hacker, teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data. Like it or not, your every move is being watched and analyzed. Consumer's identities are being stolen, and a person's every step is being tracked and stored. What once might have been dismissed as paranoia is now a hard truth, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand. In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick illustrates what is happening without your knowledge--and he teaches you "the art of invisibility." Mitnick is the world's most famous--and formerly the Most Wanted--computer hacker. He has hacked into some of the country's most powerful and seemingly impenetrable agencies and companies, and at one point he was on a three-year run from the FBI. Now, though, Mitnick is reformed and is widely regarded as the expert on the subject of computer security. He knows exactly how vulnerabilities can be exploited and just what to do to prevent that from happening. In THE ART OF INVISIBILITY Mitnick provides both online and real life tactics and inexpensive methods to protect you and your family, in easy step-by-step instructions. He even talks about more advanced "elite" techniques, which, if used properly, can maximize your privacy. Invisibility isn't just for superheroes--privacy is a power you deserve and need in this modern age.

The World's Most Famous Hacker Teaches You How to Be Safe in the Age of Big Brother and Big Data

The Art of Invisibility

Mark Russinovich

When a new form of the CIA's computer virus is countered by a Trojan horse developed in the East, cybersecurity analysts Jeff Aiken and Daryl Haugen are caught in the middle of a political uprising that threatens their lives.

A Jeff Aiken Novel

Trojan Horse

Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies--and however fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. He spent years skipping through cyberspace, always three steps ahead and labeled unstoppable. But for Kevin, hacking wasn't just about technological feats-it was an old fashioned confidence game that required guile and deception to trick the unwitting out of valuable information. Driven by a powerful urge to accomplish the impossible, Mitnick bypassed security systems and blazed into major organizations including Motorola, Sun Microsystems, and Pacific Bell. But as the FBI's net began to tighten, Kevin went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated cat and mouse game that led through false identities, a host of cities, plenty of close shaves, and an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down. Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escape, and a portrait of a visionary whose creativity, skills, and persistence forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, inspiring ripples that brought permanent changes in the way people and companies protect their most sensitive information.

Duch w sieci

Dies ist eine wahre Geschichte über Intrigen, Manipulation und eine abenteuerliche Flucht. Zugleich ist es das Porträt eines Genies, dessen Einfallsreichtum, Beharrlichkeit und Fähigkeiten eine ganze Branche zum Umdenken zwangen. Kevin Mitnick war der meistgesuchte Hacker der Welt. Er verschaffte sich mehrfach Zutritt zu den Computern der weltgrößten Firmen wie Sun Microsystems, Motorola, Nokia und Fujitsu Siemens und enttarnte deren Anfälligkeit. Sogar Einbrüche in Computer des Pentagons wurden ihm vorgeworfen. Egal wie schnell die Behörden reagierten, Mitnick war ihnen immer drei Schritte voraus. Doch das Netz des FBI zog sich immer weiter zu. Es begann ein dramatisches Katz-und-Maus-Spiel, bei dem der Hacker seiner Festnahme oft nur um Haaresbreite entging – bis zu einem spektakulären Showdown, bei dem es für ihn kein Entrinnen mehr gab. Mitnick wurde ohne Prozess viereinhalb Jahre gefangen gehalten, davon acht Monate in Einzelhaft, da die FBI-Beamten einen Richter davon überzeugen konnten, er sei in der Lage "einen Atomkrieg auszulösen, indem er in ein Telefon pfeift". Nach sieben Jahren Schweigepflicht geht der Hacker in seiner Autobiografie aufs Ganze: Er erzählt nicht nur seine Geschichte, sondern rechnet auch mit Justiz und Presse ab.

Die Autobiographie des meistgesuchten Hackers der Welt

Das Phantom im Netz

William L. Simon

...cu o prefață de Steve Wozniak, cofondator Apple Cel mai șiret „spărgător“ de computere și de rețele de comunicații își dezvăluie trucurile într-o captivantă poveste de viață, cu hackeri și detectivi FBI, cu spionaj informatic și urmăriri spectaculoase pe „autostrăzile“ internetului. Kevin Mitnick a bântuit cele mai securizate sisteme informatice din SUA și, în ciuda vitezei de reacție a autorităților americane, a fost tot timpul cu un pas înainte, evitând numeroasele capcane întinse de agenții de la criminalitate informatică. Dincolo de ponturile tehnice, Mitnick dezvăluie cu umor în ce fel a reușit să păcălească zeci de angajați ai companiilor de telecomunicații sau funcționari publici, pentru a obține parole vitale, identități false ori softuri râvnite de toți hackerii din lume. Fantoma rețelelor nu este doar o poveste cu hoți și vardiști în ciberspațiu, ci se vrea și o spovedanie a unui hacker spășit, care n-a vrut decât să-și demonstreze inteligența și care n-a câștigat niciun sfanț de pe urma raidurilor sale virtuale. „A pătruns în computerele unor corporații, dar nu a distrus niciun fișier, nu a folosit și nici nu a vândut numerele cărților de credit la care a avut acces. A furat software, dar nu l-a vândut niciodată, nimănui. A comis hackingul pur și simplu pentru că voia să-și testeze forțele. A dus o viață palpitantă și cu sufletul la gură, cum vezi doar în cele mai bune filme polițiste.“ – Steve Wozniak, cofondator Apple „Mă tem nu de ceea ce știu, ci de ceea ce nu știu, iar Kevin Mitnick ne-a demonstrat cât de ignoranți suntem. Dacă vrei să-i bagi în sperieți pe șefii cei mari ca să-ți aprobe bugetul pentru securitate informatică, ajunge să le faci cunoștință cu demonstrațiile ingenioase și palpitante ale lui Mitnick.“ – Steven L. Susman, director de tehnologia informației la Supreme Security Systems
