Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world’s biggest companies—and however fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. He spent years skipping through cyberspace, always three steps ahead and labeled unstoppable.

Up All Night
Revisado: 09-04-11
Started to listen this book at bedtime - what a mistake !! -
My wife and I could not go to sleep - became an all night listen was so engaging..... awake and listening all night long -- This is an amazing book. and can quickly see how we are all at risk... not becuase of what Kevin did or could do... but becuase it can be done and we have arrogant Federal Agencies that run on political, no risk CYA fuel...
What a story what a book - of course the smart thing to do is hire talented hackers and let them do what they do so can plug the holes ... FBI and Courts should pay them to hack -- not take away hackers computers and put them in Jail ... its only way to increase our security in US.
If Kevin can do what he did, imagine what an attacking country could do with near unlimited resources can do...
Want to get scared read Dick Clarke's "Cyber Wars" (Unfortunately not an Audible book) ...

This book says outright what many have merely hinted at: that President George W. Bush knowingly misused the findings of the erroneous and incompetent U.S. intelligence community to provide a pretext for war with Iraq. The author hones in on the systematic weaknesses of the intelligence agencies that caused them to ignore the crucial signs leading up to the attacks of 9/11.

My dots are connected
Revisado: 10-31-05
James Bramford is well known for his other books on security and NSA (e.g. Puzzle Palace). He is recognized for his careful research and attention to detail. In 1983 he introduced us in the "Puzzle Palace" to the inner workings of NSA before anyone knew it even existed. That book has withstood the test of time and is now a classic - in fact I am told it is required reading by all new NSA employees.
Again in this book Bamford seems to have the facts at his fingertips - many many dots floating in outer political space for me since 9/11 and the war that just never made any sense are now connected by this book. No emotion no agenda no deck of cards - just lots of interesting facts that are easy to check. This is not a political book in fact it is equally critical of both sides. In the end the facts are both interesting and explain how we got ourselves into 9/11 and the war - it makes it understandable. The Dots are connected.
He does ramble a bit from topic to topic, but so do the dots - just fascinated by backup details on history of people and why it all came together the way it did. In the end no answers but important to understand whats happend to start.
I have never written a review and listen to and read hundreds of books feel compelled to say this book is a must listen.
