Parts of the book are clearly outdated, but many of the examples are still relevant and quite interesting.
Really disappointed in this book I loved Ghost in the Wire but this book is for corporate management, not enjoyment.
Very interesting book! I learnt a lot about social engineering and technology although I didn't have any pre-knowledge about it.
Problems with books like this is that people who should read them don't, and people who do, don't get much new out of them. Still a good read though.

The first half of the book is a collection of amusing stories of deception when an unauthorized person gains access to information they are not supposed to. The second half contains a set of policies companies should apply in order to prevent the stories of the first half to become a reality. Some technical bits are outdated, but generally, policies are on point and very relevant today. 3.5
The book is written by a former hacker who got caught, and is now on the light side. It includes lot of examples of fictional scams, where hackers achieve incredible results by tricking normal people. The book is quite old so Internet was not as prevalent back then, but it would be interesting to know if internet makes it easier or more difficult to con people. As Mitnick is now a security consultant, the end of the book includes a long list of improvements that organizations can try to improve their security. In general it felt a bit more practical than I was expecting.
