Book Description
Questo libro descrive le strategie di "social engineering" impiegate dagli hacker, dagli agenti dello spionaggio industriale e dai criminali comuni per penetrare nelle reti. Si tratta di tecniche dell’"inganno", di espedienti per usare la buona fede, l’ingenuità o l’inesperienza delle persone che hanno accesso alle informazioni "sensibili". Per l’hacker, per esempio, può essere utile il numero di telefono di un funzionario o altri dati apparentemente senza importanza perché, combinando insieme i disparati dettagli, riesce poi a trovare il tallone d’Achille dell’intero sistema. L’"arte dell’inganno" praticata dall’hacker è paragonabile alle strategie che Sun Tzu descriveva nel suo leggendario trattato su L’arte della guerra. Anche in questo caso, la manipolazione del "fattore umano", la capacità di "ricostruire" le intenzioni, la mentalità e il modo di pensare del nemico, diventa lo strumento più micidiale ed efficace. Nel suo libro Mitnick è quasi didascalico, riporta le conversazioni telefoniche, le vicende e gli aneddoti spesso anche curiosi che permettono di capire concretamente il funzionamento delle tecniche di "social engineering". L’autore non si esime dal dare dei "buoni consigli" di difesa, fornendo così anche un prezioso vademecum per gli addetti alla protezione.
Kevin Mitnick
Once one of the FBI’s Most Wanted because he hacked into 40 major corporations just for the challenge, Kevin is now a trusted security consultant to the Fortune 500 and governments worldwide.
Kevin and his Global Ghost Team™ now maintain a 100 percent successful track record of being able to penetrate the security of any system they are paid to hack into using a combination of technical exploits and social engineering. As CEO and chief “white hat” hacker at one of the most advanced boutique security firms in the world, Kevin mentors leaders, executives, and staff on both the theory and practice of social engineering, topics on which he is the leading global authority. Kevin also helps consumers—from students to retirees—learn how to protect their information and themselves from harm, using understandable terms and a friendly approach.
Kevin’s insights on current events are highly sought, leading to hundreds of media appearances. He has been a commentator, security analyst, or interview subject on CNN, CNBC, Al Jazeera, FOX News, CBC, BBC, Radio Moscow, Tech TV, National Public Radio, Playboy, Good Morning America, and 60 Minutes—to name just a few. He has been called before Congress (both the House and the Senate) to testify on security matters affecting the United States. Kevin also works in partnership with KnowBe4 to produce critically acclaimed security-awareness training programs to counteract social engineering and to improve security effectiveness.
Kevin's books include 'Art of Intrusion: The Real Story Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders and Deceivers' and 'Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security', which are mandatory readings for security professionals. His autobiography, 'Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World’s Most Wanted Hacker', a New York Times best seller, is now available in fifteen languages.
