Kevin Mitnick, combining technical proficiency with the age-old art of deception, became an unpredictable programmer. As a teenager, he intimidated all of America with his skills. Over time, he became the world's most famous hacker and public enemy number one - branded by the media as a dangerous cybercriminal, zealously pursued by the FBI, eventually tricked, surrounded and spectacularly captured. Armed with a keyboard, he was deemed a threat to society - by court order, he was deprived of access to computers, the Internet and mobile phones for many years.

Kevin Mitnick's life story is like the script for a good action movie! No wonder it got its Hollywood version. A brilliant computer scientist or a master of manipulation? How did the man really work, around whose exploits and methods so many legends have grown? How did he manage to break into the systems of companies such as Nokia, Fujitsu, Novell or Sun Microsystems?! The purchase of the most expensive security technologies, biometric cards, intensive staff training, a restrictive information policy or the hiring of a security agency - Kevin Mitnick has proven that in the world of networks and systems, the sense of security is just an illusion.

Human naivety, gullibility and ignorance - these are the weakest links, leading to obtaining confidential information, secret codes and passwords. Mitnick, currently the most sought-after expert in the field of computer security, warns in his extraordinary book and shows how easily you can bypass the barriers of systems worth millions of dollars. By presenting and analyzing the methods of hackers based on real attacks, he demonstrates that where technical loopholes cannot be found, human weaknesses always turn out to be effective... And you? Are you fully aware of the technological and social engineering tools that hackers can use against you?
