Ghost in the Wires by William L. Simon, Steve Wozniak & Kevin Mitnick Book Summary

In this "intriguing, insightful and extremely educational" novel, the world's most famous hacker teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data (Frank W. Abagnale).

Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.

Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information.

"Mitnick manages to make breaking computer code sound as action-packed as robbing a bank." -- NPR

Extracurricular Adventure. An elusive entertainment extravaganza filled with adrenaline connections that qualify an individual who navigates the Internet before the time, into the time, and after the time that corporations began accelerating their ventures. Safety precautions took from K.Mitnick are put into reversal to figure ins’ and outs’ for layers of data. This story is a must read as I take all of his books are. For more I seek to continue a journey teaching me how to learn from others’ trials and errors of the vast world of social engineering. Thanks for the insight, this memoir was also a disguise of a possible bot turned human but then again that could be a twist into production.

Great Read. Kept me interested from start to finish!

Inspirational!. I have always admired Kevin for his vast curiosity and hunger for knowledge. Reading this book confirms my admiration towards a human being that could have made a fortune during his "exploration and investigation" stage, but held himself true to the values that make him an incredible person: honesty, respect for other people and willfullness to help others. This book holds proof that determination and will can help anyone achieve unimagined goals. Knowledge IS indeed equal to power. My only regret is the fact of just having digital copies of his books, that cannot be signed by him (or can them Kevin?) Thanks Kevin!

Audiobook. Where is the audiobook version on itunes?! (as of nov 2, 2011)

Awesome. Best book i have ever read.

Must Read for any IT Professional. An engaging story about not only one mans run from the law but a literal history of the evolution of communication systems and the advent of the internet as we know it today. Recommend to techies and true crime fans alike

Great read! Highly recommend. Great read for even un-computer savvy folks like myself. Being in my 20's, I had no idea any of this was going on... The book was fast-paced, well told, and intelligently written. Thanks Kevin and Bill for the time and effort in putting this together. I'll be looking forward to reading what you come out with in the future!

Puzzle. Like how there is a puzzle to solve on each chapter and it changes to keep you thinking.

Must Read!. This is my favorite book, it keeps your attention and pulls you in like no other book I've read. You follow Kevin through his journey and begin to feel and experience the emotions expressed in crime novels from an entirely different perspective. You won't regret reading this book.

Excellet. The storyline is engaging and takes the reader on a behind-the-scenes journey of Kevin’s thoughts and situations. Loved it!

Ghost in the Wires. Excellent book.

This was amazing. I can’t recommend this book enough. Entertaining, insightful, eye-opening. Couldn’t stop reading.

Fast paced thriller. Wow! Ghost in the Wires reads like a action thriller. There was never a dull moment and I couldn't put it down.

Great book that opens your eyes to the power of technology. Great book, Takes you through the life of a hacker who does some amazing things

greyfromtown108. thanks

Excellent!. This is one of the first books I have read in a long time! Once I started I couldn't put it down! The book was very well written and worth the read. If you have heard/read/watched any of the other stories about Kevin Mitnick this will clear up everything false!

Good read but no responsibility taken. I found that the book was well written and very interesting. It had a great pace and an almost sympathetic lead character. In the long run I ended up wishing that Kevin would of taken more responsibility for his actions and admitted to the real damage he caused in violating the privacy of so many others so that he could get his thrills.

Info Security. The book was very entertaining as well as being a source of information and learning. And it is a good reference to have around.

A great book about the rise and fall of a personal hero. I love this book. It is very well written and makes me feel like I am in the middle of an action thriller! Kevin is a hero to me and I couldn't put this book down. I am writing this review as I am about to venture into the book a second time!

Great book. The other reviews say perfectly what I think of this book. A must read!

really good book. this book was great

Wow!. It is rare that every word, sentence and chapter of the entire book can hold your attention so strongly. Amazing!
