Real-world advice on how to be invisible online from "the FBI's most
wanted hacker" (Wired).
Be online without leaving a trace. Your every step online is being
tracked and stored, and your identity literally stolen. Big companies
and big governments want to know and exploit what you do, and privacy is
a luxury few can afford or understand.
In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick uses true-life
stories to show exactly what is happening without your knowledge,
teaching you "the art of invisibility" -- online and real-world tactics
to protect you and your family, using easy step-by-step instructions.
Reading this book, you will learn everything from password protection
and smart Wi-Fi usage to advanced techniques designed to maximize your
anonymity. Kevin Mitnick knows exactly how vulnerabilities can be
exploited and just what to do to prevent that from happening.
The world's most famous -- and formerly the US government's most wanted
-- computer hacker, he has hacked into some of the country's most
powerful and seemingly impenetrable agencies and companies, and at one
point was on a three-year run from the FBI. Now Mitnick is reformed and
widely regarded as the expert on the subject of computer security.
Invisibility isn't just for superheroes; privacy is a power you deserve
and need in the age of Big Brother and Big Data.
