Notorious former-hacker Kevin Mitnick is at it again. His new book, The Art of Intrusion: The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders & Deceivers, follows on from his best-selling The Art of Deception.

Now a consultant and authority in the field of cybercrime (www.mitnicksecurity.com), Mitnick fills the The Art of Intrusion's pages with witty, insightful and often technical details outlining how hackers work and what counter measures can be taken. The book also includes stories of actual break-ins to companies, government agencies and military installations, told by the hackers themselves. Social engineering (persuading the unsuspecting to reveal information), terrorism links plus the protection of intellectual property and online banking details are also touched upon. danny allen
