Ghost in the wires [sound recording] : my adventures as the world's most wanted hacker / Kevin Mitnick with William L. Simon ; [foreword by Steve Wozniak].
Kevin Mitnick, the most elusive computer hacker in history was always three steps ahead of the authorities. Labeled unstoppable, he spent years skipping through cyberspace. But his hacking wasn't just about technological feats--it was a confidence game that required guile and deception to trick the unwitting out of valuable information. Driven by the urge to accomplish the impossible, Mitnick bypassed security systems and blazed into the world's biggest companies. But as the FBI's net tightened, Kevin went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated cat-and-mouse game that led through false identities, a host of cities, and to an ultimate showdown with the feds. This thrilling true story of intrigue and suspense is a portrait of a man whose skills and persistence inspired permanent changes in the way people protect their most sensitive information.
