Rating:  - Enlightening
Kevin Mitnick's writing style is at best elementary, but the story's shared in this book are the stories people need to hear. Mitnick successfully gives the reader enough information to understand what computer security threats exist, while keeping from ever enabling the reader to carry out such computer attacks.
Rating:  - It's just excellent
Adequate for noobs and pros to understand how important social engineering in our security is, this applied not only in software; you can relate it with anything in your live.
Highly recommended
Rating: - VERY excellent read.
I rarely can find a book that will interest me enough to read it from beginning to end, but as a computer guy and IT consultant, I read this book completely and am considering reading it again. It made me laugh, and made me broaden my thinking and I took notes on subjects I now want to check into and learn. I was disappointed when I finished reading the book because I wanted more. I have every intention of reading any of Mitnick's other books. (Review written by account holder's husband)
Rating:  - These are computer hacking stories from the past, it's not a how to guide.
The book is a bunch of stories of computer hacking. Some are interesting, some are boring. Most of the stories have outdated hacking information so this isn't going to make much of a "how to" guide. However, you will find a few good pieces of current hacking information if you scour for them. I would give the book an average score because of it's lack of details and lack of current hacking info.
Rating: - Riveting, Informative, Challenging. A must for any Network Administrator
Kevin Mitnick is a legend among computer hackers - and his unique position as a former world class computer hacker turned security consultant lends him credibility to the hacker community. Because of this, he has the trust of the most skilled computer hackers in the world (many who have not yet been caught) - giving him access to these stories.
I am a network administrator and I have learned much from this book. It is basically a compilation of stories of different particularly elaborate hacks. Each chapter includes a story of how a particular individual beat the system. At the end, he analyzes the failures and includes suggestions on how to prevent a similar exploit in your company. I particularly liked the Casino hack, in which a group of techies crack the code to particular slot machine and use it to predict when the next winning hand would come.
