À propos de cet audio
Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world’s biggest companies—and however fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. He spent years skipping through cyberspace, always three steps ahead and labeled unstoppable. But for Kevin, hacking wasn’t just about technological feats—it was an old fashioned confidence game that required guile and deception to trick the unwitting out of valuable information.
Driven by a powerful urge to accomplish the impossible, Mitnick bypassed security systems and blazed into major organizations including Motorola, Sun Microsystems, and Pacific Bell. But as the FBI’s net began to tighten, Kevin went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated cat-and-mouse game that led through false identities, a host of cities, plenty of close shaves, and to an ultimate showdown with the feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.
Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escape and a portrait of a visionary whose creativity, skills, and persistence forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, inspiring ripples that brought permanent changes in the way people and companies protect their most sensitive information.

Over the last decade, a single innovation has massively fueled digital black markets: cryptocurrency. Crime lords inhabiting lawless corners of the internet have operated more freely—whether in drug dealing, money laundering, or human trafficking—than their analog counterparts could have ever dreamed of. By transacting not in dollars or pounds but in currencies with anonymous ledgers, overseen by no government, beholden to no bankers, these black marketeers have sought to rob law enforcement of their chief method of cracking down on illicit finance: following the money.

Zero day: a software bug that allows a hacker to break into your devices and move around undetected. One of the most coveted tools in a spy's arsenal, a zero day has the power to silently spy on your iPhone, dismantle the safety controls at a chemical plant, alter an election and shut down the electric grid (just ask Ukraine). For decades, under cover of classification levels and non-disclosure agreements, the United States government became the world’s dominant hoarder of zero days.

The 14th century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering time of crusades and castles, cathedrals and chivalry, and the exquisitely decorated Books of Hours; and on the other, a time of ferocity and spiritual agony, a world of chaos and the plague.

The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 19
Remarkably little is known about the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. So little, in fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with what has become known as the “eel question”: Where do eels come from? What are they? Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether? Even in our age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don’t understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives. They remain a mystery.

We live in a “post-truth” world, we’re told. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? Or have people been lying, fibbing, and just plain bullsh*tting since the beginning of time? Tom Phillips, editor of a leading independent fact-checking organization, deals with this question every day. In Truth, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other - and ourselves - about everything from business to politics to plain old geography.

An epic real life story
Lots of technical words, some swears, but the story is awesome.
Mitnick takes you with him on his journey as a fugitive, with a lot of details about how and why he did what he did. It made me realize how vulnerable to social engineering we all are, no matter the security that's in place. The weak point is always people.

The power of social engineering.
Funny enough I had never heard about Kevin Mitnick prior to a few months back when my company decided to offer some online training on how to catch phishing and other types of attacks through e-mails. When I saw this book appear on my audible I was quite curious to give it a try. I am blown away to see what can be done through social engineering when it comes to hacking. Awesome book, very entertaining and with great narration.

One of the most engaging books I have read
The story is exciting, Mitnick's problem solving skills are fascinating, the injustice by the US Justice system is appalling, the performance of Ray Porter is fantastic. This audiobook is great.

Superb
I totally enjoyed this book, despite not normally liking books by criminals. I think the difference is that Kevin doesn’t have a huge ego, is willing to share exactly what he did (the social engineering stuff was brilliant and mind boggling as to how people fell for it), and had a self-deprecating sense of humour. Never a dull moment in this book. Highly recommended.

A must read
A must read for anyone interested in Information Security and Ethical Hacking.
The story is riviting and astonishing at the same time.
Makes me all the more aware of social engineering tactics.
