Manufacturer's product description

The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security. Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles books films and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison in 1998 Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now in The Art of Deception" the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Focusing on the human factors involved with information security Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system.With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent.Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. And perhaps most importantly Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols training programs and manuals that address the human element of security."

Review of Deception Point - Dan Brown by  scampi1

Advantages: Better than Digital Fortress
Disadvantages: Formula fiction

...his undoing though. Deception Point follows the same path as his other works, with only the basic premise of the story and the characters names and professions changing. For 'Deception Point' (the one about the thing NASA found), substitute The Da Vinci Code (the one about the Holy Grail), or try Digital Fortress (the one about the unbreakable code). In Deception Point, Brown gets away with this formula, but I'm not sure how much longer he'll manage this. I'll certainly read his next offering, but if I detect the same pattern emerging it could well be the last Dan Brown I'll read. After only four books he's becoming borderline predictable. Despite my reservations though, Deception Point was an enjoyable read which had enough to keep me interested. A little frustrating at times, but I'd still recommend it. If not now, it wouldn...

A Lot of Hard Yakka - Simon Hughes
Review of A Lot of Hard Yakka - Simon Hughes by  brereton66

Advantages: An insiders tale of the life of a professional cricketer
Disadvantages: Non sports fans won't find much to interest them

...A Lot of Hard Yakka - Simon Hughes Simon Hughes may not be the most familiar name in cricket; he never played for England, nor was he ever seriously contemplated for selection. He retired in the mid nineties having spent a decade and a half at the top of the domestic game but only the most dedicated of cricket fans would have been able to put a face to the name. While Hughes may not have had the most glamorous of careers he still lived the life of a professional sportsman and in this book he provides an unequalled insight into that life. The eighties were an exciting time for English cricket, from Botham's heroics in the '81 Ashes through victories at home and away there were any number of larger than life characters around and Hughes came into contact with most of them. This is not a biography as such, we don't learn much... Read review

Severed by Simon Kernick
Review of Severed - Simon Kernick by  starjen

Advantages: Fast paced and action packed
Disadvantages: None

...I read one of Simon Kernick's books last year called Relentless and really enjoyed it and I got a Smiths voucher for my birthday and saw he had this one out in paperback and so bought it straight away. The book is about a man called Tyler who wakes up in a room which he doesn't recognise in a bed covered in blood. When he looks under the covers he finds his girlfriends body with its head cut off lying next to him. He cannot remember the past 24 hours. In shock he looks around the room and propped next to the DVD player is a note saying Tyler, Play me. When he plays the DVD it shows him killing his girlfriend. While his mind is whirling from this he doesn't hear the person approach him who then electrocutes and drugs him. This all happens in the first two chapters and 28 pages. When he awakes he is in a car and a mobile rings... Read review
