"Before the Internet became widely known as a global tool for
terrorists, one perceptive U.S. citizen recognized its ominous
potential. Armed with clear evidence of computer espionage, he
began a highly personal quest to expose a hidden network of spies
that threatened national security. But would the authorities back
him up? Cliff Stoll's dramatic firsthand account is "a computer-age
detective story, instantly fascinating [and] astonishingly
gripping"" (Smithsonian).
Cliff Stoll was an astronomer turned systems manager at Lawrence
Berkeley Lab when a 75-cent accounting error alerted him to the
presence of an unauthorized user on his system. The hacker's code
name was "Hunter" -- a mysterious invader who managed to break into
U.S. computer systems and steal sensitive military and security
information. Stoll began a one-man hunt of his own: spying on the
spy. It was a dangerous game of deception, broken codes,
satellites, and missile bases -- a one-man sting operation that
finally gained the attention of the CIA...and ultimately trapped an
international spy ring fueled by cash, cocaine, and the KGB.
