Die Kunst der Täuschung

Kevin Mitnick, once the most wanted criminal in the USA, spent five years in prison for breaking into numerous networks of large companies. He often relied not only on his extensive technical hacking knowledge but also outsmarted virtually every security system by tricking passwords, searching through trash for sensitive information, and assuming false identities. In this book, Kevin Mitnick reveals how the greatest vulnerability in any IT security system can be exploited for attacks - the human element. He introduces the reader to the mindset and actions of hackers, describes specific fraud scenarios, and powerfully illustrates the far-reaching consequences that arise from these breaches. Mitnick takes both the attacker’s and the victim’s perspective, explaining why everyone is susceptible.
