- mulletbum 8y agoAnd I don't know if someone helped him write the book, but the story is amazingly good. It is exactly what you look for in a hacking story, someone outwitting people combined will some phone phreaking. Very good book, I would recommend.
- thro_awayz_days 8y agoCan't upvote this comment enough. Incredible story.
- johnnycarcin 8y agoYes! When I was a kid I had heard his story a bit but this book was amazing and really highlighted just how far someone could go with regards to "owning" systems.
- sailfast 8y agoSecond this, and also recommend The Art of Deception which focuses on a combination of social engineering attacks with technology vectors. Not a novel as it's really about actual security, but still worth a note.
