Come on lepricaun, Kevin Mitnick is nothing but a two bit con, a media whore, and not to mention a skiddie fool at best. This is a man who sells lies... then he goes on telling peaple how they can do the same or how to "hack" when you are standing right next to the mother ****ing computers you plan on attacking.
that is so, but if you're running security-policies in a company, it is a good book, since you can learn to watch out for these type of people, who, with smooth talking, can get anything they want.

that is why i like the book, not because kevin mitnick wrote it...
although i like the film that is made about him : "takedown".
