Kevin Mitnick is referred to as “The world’s first-rate hacker”, his legendary life and hacking experience have become topic that industry and major news media take delight in talking about. Of course the present Mitnick (gave up evil and returned to good) has become the world’s famous white hat hacker, he uses his own experience to guide the well-known enterprises and organizations to enhance their safety and protection measures.

Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World’s Most Wanted Hacker, in fact, is Mitnick’s autobiography. In this book, he looked back on his hacking journey with ups and downs of the plot – even not second to a good detective novel (the particularly fascinating part is the inner monologue when Kevin knew the danger was approaching). We have to admit that Mitnick had played the social engineering to the extreme), the pursuit of technology and sense of achievement really gave every reader a deepgoing impression.

Because the background of the story was in the age that Internet just started, whose network technology is surely far worse than now. But it is important to let you know 3 things – First, no matter how strong the security systems are, they also have holes all the time; Second, the most problematic factor will always be the human (rather than the computer); Finally, after all, the so-called social engineering is just the art of deception!

BTW, it has a piece of cipher text at the beginning of each chapter in this book, people who are interested can try to crack, or you can Google that with ease.
