The Cuckoo's Egg by Clifford Stoll [1] Pulling a small thread of trivial inconsistent accounting value to in the end exposing an international spy ring. I grew up in the cold war, so I have always been interested in what went on. First recommended by a lecturer at Uni. The book reads like a techno-thriller but happened. Full of technical detail, I learnt a lot about UNIX system when I first read the book. I would still say the book offers a great primer on computer security concepts and the logical processes people use to understand a systems. Always good to be reminded of that from time to time. NOVA made an episode based on the book [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo's_Egg_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo's_Egg_(book) [2] https://youtu.be/PGv5BqNL164 https://youtu.be/PGv5BqNL164
