Die unten aufgeführte Adresse präsentiert das Buch “Führungspraxis und Führungskultur”, das sich in einem Kapitel mit Führungskunst und Manipulation beschäftigt.

Es warnt dabei, sich den Social-Engineer als “Hacker-Typ” in Turnschuhen vorzustellen. Professionelle Social-Engineers werden sich immer so präsentieren, dass sie möglichst nicht auffallen und sich dem konkreten Umfeld anpassen.

Das immer leseswerte Buch des Social Engineers Kevin D. Mitnick hat nichts von seiner Brisanz verloren:

The Art of Intrusion

In his new book, Mitnick goes one step further than he did in The Art of Deception, offering hair-raising stories of real-life computer break-ins-and showing how the victims could have prevented them. Mitnick’s reputation within the hacker community gave him unique credibility with the perpetrators of these crimes, who freely shared their stories with him-and whose exploits Mitnick now reveals in detail for the first time, including:

* A group of friends who won nearly a million dollars in Las Vegas by reverse-engineering slot machines

* Two teenagers who were persuaded by terrorists to hack into the Lockheed Martin computer systems

* Two convicts who joined forces to become hackers inside a Texas prison

* A “Robin Hood” hacker who penetrated the computer systems of many prominent companies and then told them how he gained access

With riveting “you are there” descriptions of real computer break-ins, indispensable tips on countermeasures security professionals need to implement now, and Mitnick’s own acerbic commentary on the crimes he describes, this book is sure to reach a wide audience-and attract the attention of both law enforcement agencies and the media.
