It would be difficult to find an author with more credibility than Mitnick to write about the art of hacking. In 1995, he was arrested for illegal computer snooping, convicted and held without bail for two years before being released in 2002.

A Good Dog: The Story of Orson, Who Changed My Life

by Jon Katz  (2007-06-26)
