SynopsisA legendary hacker reveals how to guard against the gravest security risk of all-human nature "...a tour de force, a series of tales of how some old-fashioned blarney and high-tech skills can pry any information from anyone. As entertainment, its like reading the climaxes of a dozen complex thrillers, one after the other" --Publishers Weekly Kevin Mitnicks exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive from one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison in 2000, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the worlds most famous hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Inviting you into the complex mind of the hacker, Mitnick provides realistic scenarios of cons, swindles, and social engineering attacks on businesses-and the consequences. Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. He illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent or any other seemingly innocent character. Narrated from the points of view of both the attacker and the victim, The Art of Deception explores why each attack was so successful and how it could have been averted in an engaging and highly readable manner reminiscent of a true-crime novel. Most importantly, Mitnick redeems his former life of crime by providing specific guidelines for developing protocols, training programs, and manuals to ensure that a companys sophisticated technical security investment will not be for naught. He shares his advice for preventing security vulnerability in the hope that people will be mindfully on guard for an attack from the gravest risk of all-human nature., Beim Schutz von Unternehmenswerten geht die grö te Gefahr von den Mitarbeitern des Unternehmens selbst aus. Obwohl die meisten Unternehmen die neuesten Sicherheitssysteme installieren, ignorieren sie doch meist die Gefahr aus den eigenen Reihen. "The Art of Deception" ist das erste Buch, das sich ausschlie lich auf "Social Engineering", d.h., den menschlichen Faktor im Rahmen der Sicherheit konzentriert. Hierbei geht es darum, durch Ausnutzen menschlicher Schwächen, jene Informationen (z.B. Passwörter) zu erhalten, die Unbefugten den Zugang zu (sensiblen) Systemen und Daten erleichtern. Autor Kevin Mitnick vermittelt hier seine Insidererfahrungen und erläutert die Techniken, mit deren Hilfe sich auch die stärksten Sicherheitsbarrieren überwinden lassen. Mitnick ist einer der angesehensten Experten auf dem Gebiet des Sicherheitsbetrugs. Er ist bei Hackern ebenso bekannt wie bei Sicherheitsprofis. Coautor William Simon ist ein Bestsellerautor, der bereits über 20 Bücher veröffentlicht hat; er wurde u.a. mit dem Global Business Book Award ausgezeichnet. "The Art of Deception" - die ultimative Lektüre im Zeitalter des Cyberterrorismus., The worlds most infamous hacker offers an insiders view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security Kevin Mitnicks exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries., The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government, he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent. Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims, he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. And, perhaps most importantly, Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols, training programs, and manuals that address the human element of security.
