The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security
by William L. Simon, Kevin D. Mitnick
This book was well worth the read. Kevin Mittnick is a relatively infamous hacker. The stories of social engineering techniques and attacks were engaging, entertaining, and very eye-opening. Mittnick makes a strong case that the weakest link in any corporate organization is the human factor, and he outlines reasons that human beings fall victim to these attacks so easily. He even makes the point that con men and grifters often fall victim to scams themselves because of simple human nature! Well worth the read!
