Kevin Mitnick ist es gelungen, mehr als 100-mal in das Netzwerk des Pentagon sowie einige Male in das der NSA eingedrungen zu sein und wurde somit zum meistgesuchten Hacker der USA. 3 Jahre lang war er auf der Flucht vor dem FBI und befand sich nach seiner Festnahme zwei Jahre lang ohne Gerichtsverhandlung bzw. viereinhalb Jahre ohne eine Kautionsanhörung in Haft.
Kurzbeschreibung:
Kevin Mitnick\'s long-awaited memoir of computer hacking and FBI skirting, revealed now after seven years of government-mandated silence.
Klappentext:
Kevin Mitnick, the world\'s most wanted computer hacker, managed to hack into some of the country\'s most powerful - and seemingly impenetrable - agencies and companies. By conning employees into giving him private information and maneuvering through layers of security, he gained access to data that no one else could.
The suspenseful heart of the book unfolds as Mitnick disappears on a three-year run from the FBI. He creates fake identities, finds jobs at a law firm and hospital, and keeps tabs on his myriad pursuers - all while continuing to hack into computer systems and phone company switches that were considered flawless.
A modern, technology-driven adventure story, GHOST IN THE WIRES is a dramatic account of the joy of outsmarting security programs, the satisfaction of code-cracking, and the thrill of unbelievable escape.
