I've never heard that about Mitnick, but it's completely irrelevant anyway. The book I recommended was written by Mitnick [/i]about[/i] other people's exploits.

Even worse.

Supply some links showing that falsehood or exaggeration of any of the stories in the book or STFU. I already tried searching Google for this and found nothing.

Amazing. Someone writes a book and people buy into every word written without question or (evidently) even knowing anything about the author which might impact upon the credibility of anything he writes.

Try Googling a little harder. Mitnick lied or changed his story about numerous matters of fact in his crimes. e.g. 'I didn't steal credit card data or protected trade secrets'...'well I did but I wasn't intending to use them for identity theft, extortion, or personal gain'...'OK, well, maybe just a little.'

I just finished reading "The Cuckoo's Egg." Very good book. Reps for those who recommended it..

Peter Norton's DOS guide.

That was about the last time I actually needed to read a "computer" book.
