In this intriguing, insightful and extremely educational novel, 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 (Frank W. Abagnale). Kevin Mitnick was the
most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed
computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no
matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting
through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As
the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run,
engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek
that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and
plenty of close shaves, to 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
escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities
to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to
rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information.
Mitnick manages to make breaking computer code sound as
action-packed as robbing a bank. -- NPR
