Hierbei geht es darum, durch Ausnutzen menschlicher Schwächen, jene Informationen (z.B. Passwörter) zu erhalten, die Unbefugten den Zugang zu (sensiblen) Systemen und Daten erleichtern. <br /> <br /> Autor Kevin Mitnick vermittelt hier seine Insidererfahrungen und erläutert die Techniken, mit deren Hilfe sich auch die stärksten Sicherheitsbarrieren überwinden lassen.<br /> <br /> Mitnick ist einer der angesehensten Experten auf dem Gebiet des Sicherheitsbetrugs.

But in his own eyes, Mitnick was simply a small-time con artist with an incredible memory [and] a knack for social engineering...
