The thrilling memoir of the world's most wanted computer hacker. Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down. Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information.

Good in condition, some what i disappointed with size of book
If you're a cyber security fan, and computer hacking exciates you. This tomb is probably for You. It's a journey book, so far if you would think to solicit motivation or so called wisdom here, you didn't find it pal, although it blows your mind with his social engineering tricks that he used to deceive people. This book is all about Kevin Mitnick and his life around computers, phones, life tragedies, imprisonment, cyber crime. The language seems easy, and acquainted with easy vocabulary so it's to comprehend. Although some techincal terms might baffle you. P.S. : This book is for computer geeks and computer hacking enthusiasts, if cyber security didn't intrigue you i'd request not to buy this book

Book review
The book is good. It tells you about the life of Kevin mitnick. It’s better for social engineering people rather than hackers. It can be easily completed within a week or before that. Happy reading 👍

Bel romanzo di avventura
Veramente bel romanzo. C'è avventura, spionaggio, hacking sia tecnologico ma soprattutto umano, ecc. ecc. Ogni tanto mi devo forzare di ricordare che è una biografia, non un'opera di fantasia! Naturalmente Kevin abbia arrotondato certi angoli e fatto sembrare alcune cose più belle e spettacolari del vero (ma non lo fanno tutti che scrivono autobiografie?) In ogni caso è una bellissima avventura e in più dovrebbe fare riflettere come in mondo informatico il privacy non esiste per niente e la "buona fede", che è naturale in esseri umani, è sempre facilmente sfruttabile da chi lo vuole fare per scopi propri. Tante tecnologie descritte sono ormai datati (fax, telefonia analogica ecc.) ma i principi sono sempre gli stessi. Tecnologia cambia ma le persone ingenue no. CONSIGLIATISSIMO!

Livre en anglais
Livre en anglais, mais je le savais en achetant. Plutot facile à lire mis à part quelques termes techniques. L'histoire est plutot sympa même si l'auteur fait preuve d'un égocentrisme insupportable : "tout petit déjà, j'étais plus intelligent que la moyenne"... Côté livraison / prix / état du livre, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !
