The Art of Deception is written by a häçker (or, as he calls himself, a “social engineer”) and describes the ways in which häçkers can exploit human nature to bypass security measures. The book was hyped as being “like reading the climaxes of a dozen complex thrillers”, but I don’t think it lived up that hype. Although I found it interesting to read about the clever ways häçkers go about getting very classified information, it wasn’t exactly edge-of-your-seat reading.

I had high hopes for this book: I've followed Mitnick's story for over a decade and have thoroughly enjoyed many of the books written about him and his exploits. I expected The Art of Deception to be no exception. Except it was.
The Art of Deception is more of a IT professional's handbook for preventing social engineering attacks on a corporation. There are two problems with this:
1) It's absolutely not, in any way, a book for casual readers looking to understand and discover some insights on the psychology of deception in a technical environment. If that's what you want, look elsewhere.
2) If an IT security professional working for any company needs a book this big to understand how to protect about social engineering... well they are in serious need of a career counselor and should consider a new profession.*
There's one more problem with the book: it's far too long, the stories are endlessly repetitive, and, well, everything else. Avoid.
*OK, that may be hyperbolic. But hear this, IT security professionals: buy this book, read the first chapter, then close it. Everything you need to know is in the first chapter.

Hand a copy to all IT staff, then another copy to all general staff. This book shows that fooling people is far easier than fooling computer systems.

Great information that is never really outdated. I've passed this one around to all of my IS co-workers. A good way to try and think like a bad guy to educate users about how to handle situations and to know who they're dealing with.

Full of illustrations of Mitnick's points; very interesting, especially if you're a writer looking for social engineering scenarios for characters to get information they shouldn't have.

I started reading this book to my son, who was enjoying it immensely, then stopped when I decided it was totally inappropriate matter for an inquisitive 9 year old. Kevin was released from prison last year after being found guilty of häçking into computer systems. Kevin's premise is simple. People are the security's weakest link.
I enjoyed reading this, although I admit, the book gets rather boring after a while. But the first few chapters should be essential reading for everyone to raise awareness of how easy it is to s†éál personal information. Especially from people in Bruce county who are soooooo friendly and helpful. If you get tired of Kevin's bragging, just skip to his recommendations in chapter 16.
dont forget to
