The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security by William L. Simon, Kevin D. Mitnick

2.0

i'm not going to lie; i picked this up entirely because i heard it was one of the books matt bomer read as research for his con man role on 'white collar'. i skipped over most of the "how to protect your business from hackers" stuff and just read the con stories, which were admittedly interesting. good research for if i ever end up writing about cons or scams, for sure. and it's funny to see some of the schemes and names that the writers of 'white collar' lifted right from the book. quick, easy read; my inner spy-flick freak was appeased.
