From the publisher

Beim Schutz von Unternehmenswerten geht die gr te Gefahr von den Mitarbeitern des Unternehmens selbst aus.

Obwohl die meisten Unternehmen die neuesten Sicherheitssysteme installieren, ignorieren sie doch meist die Gefahr aus den eigenen Reihen.

"The Art of Deception" ist das erste Buch, das sich ausschlie lich auf "Social Engineering", d.h., den menschlichen Faktor im Rahmen der Sicherheit konzentriert. Hierbei geht es darum, durch Ausnutzen menschlicher Schwchen, jene Informationen (z.B. Passwrter) zu erhalten, die Unbefugten den Zugang zu (sensiblen) Systemen und Daten erleichtern.

Autor Kevin Mitnick vermittelt hier seine Insidererfahrungen und erlutert die Techniken, mit deren Hilfe sich auch die strksten Sicherheitsbarrieren berwinden lassen.

Mitnick ist einer der angesehensten Experten auf dem Gebiet des Sicherheitsbetrugs. Er ist bei Hackern ebenso bekannt wie bei Sicherheitsprofis.

Coautor William Simon ist ein Bestsellerautor, der bereits ber 20 Bcher verffentlicht hat; er wurde u.a. mit dem Global Business Book Award ausgezeichnet.

"The Art of Deception" - die ultimative Lektre im Zeitalter des Cyberterrorismus.

From the rear cover

The world's most celebrated hacker delivers the lowdown on today's most serious security weakness-human nature

"Finally someone is on to the real cause of data security breaches-stupid humans Mitnick reveals clever tricks of the 'social engineering' trade and shows how to fend them off."
-Stephen Manes, Forbes

"A tour de force, a series of tales of how some old-fashioned blarney and high-tech skills can pry any information from anyone. As entertainment, it's like reading the climaxes of a dozen complex thrillers, one after the other."
-Publishers Weekly

"Mitnick provides hair-raising examples of social engineering-disgruntled employees stealing top-secret research, smooth-talking con men acquiring data on next-generation explosives for terrorists-and explains how to combat it."
-Angela Gunn, Time Out New York

"He was the FBI's most-wanted hacker. But in his own eyes, Mitnick was simply a small-time con artist with an incredible memory [and] a knack for social engineering This is Mitnick's account, complete with advice for how to protect yourself from similar attacks. I believe his story."
-Simson Garfinkel, Wired
