The Art of Deception Short info:

In this book, the famous hacker Kevin D. Mitnick explains the techniques of Social Engineering.

The famous hacker Kevin Mitnick was responsible for one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and he has spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. In this book, he 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.

The book has 352 pages and is written in English.
