Sinossi
Quando i computer non erano ancora in tutte le case e in tutte le tasche, la rete muoveva i primi passi e ben pochi sapevano cosa fosse un hacker, Kevin D. Mitnick era nella lista dei criminali più ricercati dall'Fbi, ma non aveva mai usato un'arma, non aveva ucciso nessuno, non aveva rubato: era semplicemente il più bravo del mondo a intrufolarsi nei sistemi informatici più protetti del pianeta. Per anni Mitnick ha vissuto un'esistenza al limite, braccato da polizia e servizi segreti, continuamente alla ricerca di una sfida più eccitante e pericolosa della precedente, inventando sistemi sempre più ingegnosi per eludere le protezioni dei sistemi informatici più inviolabili e intanto riuscire a sfuggire alla cattura nel mondo reale. In questo libro, che è la sua autobiografia, Mitnick racconta le sue innumerevoli avventure, fuori e dentro la rete: quelle di un artista della truffa, capace di ingannare uomini e macchine con la stessa bravura, ma anche quelle di un precursore e di un visionario, il primo a riconoscere nell'hacking una strada alternativa per la comprensione del mondo digitale. Prefazione di Steve Wozniak.

I’ve always wondered why hackers hack. Is it for the kick it gives them or for personal gain, or perhaps a combination of the two?

The bad: Mitnick's ego and lingering resentments sometimes get in the way and the story also gets dry and repetitive at points. The good: Mitnick's story is legendary, and while I get the feeling he isn't always 100% honest, this is probably the closest we'll ever get to the true story without embell Leggi tutto
This unbelievably wild and crazy book describing the "adventures of the world's most wanted hacker" was captivating from start to finish. Granted, I am a "technologically-inclined" sort of person, but this book appears to have been written to appeal to both "techies" and "non-techies" alike. Techies Leggi tutto
I know that many people love Ghost in the Wires, but this book really bothers me. It's very difficult to be sympathetic towards Kevin Mitnick, who continually prevails upon his readers to let him have it both ways. I will leave whatever social sickness the brilliant Kevin Mitnick has to the mental he Leggi tutto
I got to read this book as part of a buddy read group where we pick different genres and types of books to get us out of our comfort zone. I started with quite a lot of expectations for this book and i'd have to say overall, I was a little disappointed. Probably 2.5 stars. Reminded me a lot of Wolf
The least of my complaints is that this guy, for all his alleged genius qualities, isn't a good writer. Which wouldn't bother me that much, except his "adventures" weren't that exciting. I further felt mislead because the prologue was an incredibly interesting two-man B&E into a corporation that he
For most people, computers are magic. Which is to say, they are technology sufficiently advanced to the point of mystification. I include myself in this camp, for despite my comfort with computers and my fluency in programming, a great deal of mystery still surrounds them. With the emergence of the
