The Art of Intrusion

The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders and Deceivers

The Art of Intrusion presents real accounts of computer break-ins, fraud, and other security breaches gathered by Kevin Mitnick with writer William L. Simon. Each case explains how attackers gained access, what motivated them, and how the targeted organizations could have reduced their exposure. The book also includes practical countermeasures for businesses and security professionals, making it both a set of cautionary stories and a guide to improving information-security practices.
