The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security
Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief."
Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick 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.

Work perfectly- keys, watch, wallet and colognes, etc
Color: Black
For the price- this thing is beautiful. It is high quality- and appears higher quality than the price would make it seem. I originally purchased one that "appeared" to be wood (same design) but ended up being cheap injection molded looking plastic. There is absolutely no assembly- so just pull it out of the box, and fill it up. Has space for wallet and keys, and small objects. Little drawers are lined and high quality as well. Great side piece if you are a fragrance collector. If not, there is plenty of space for the normal guys colognes- with room left over for anything else you would put on a 2" shelf. Stop reading and add it to your cart already.
