The Art of Invisibility

The World's Most Famous Hacker Teaches You How to Be Safe in the Age of Big Brother and Big Data

De: Kevin Mitnick, Robert Vamosi, Mikko Hypponen

Narrado por: Ray Porter

Kevin Mitnick, the world's most famous hacker, teaches you easy cloaking and countermeasures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data.

Like it or not, your every move is being watched and analyzed. Consumers' identities are being stolen, and a person's every step is being tracked and stored. What once might have been dismissed as paranoia is now a hard truth, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand.

In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick illustrates what is happening without your knowledge - and he teaches you "the art of invisibility". Mitnick is the world's most famous - and formerly the most wanted - computer hacker. He has hacked in to some of the country's most powerful and seemingly impenetrable agencies and companies, and at one point he was on a three-year run from the FBI. Now, though, Mitnick is reformed and is widely regarded as the expert on the subject of computer security. He knows exactly how vulnerabilities can be exploited and just what to do to prevent that from happening.

In The Art of Invisibility Mitnick provides both online and real-life tactics and inexpensive methods to protect you and your family, in easy step-by-step instructions. He even talks about more advanced "elite" techniques, which, if used properly, can maximize your privacy. Invisibility isn't just for superheroes - privacy is a power you deserve and need in this modern age.

very good overall

Great information, good stories and examples as proof, and an enjoyable audiobook overall. there is a lot of great information in here both for the casual web surfer and rmailer, as well as for even the most experienced sys admin or sys eng.

Very Interesting Read

The details are in depth but not overwhelming. Implementation of just some of the suggestions will go a long way to securing one's tracks on the Internet.

great blend of practice and theory

Mitnick does a great job balancing practice with theory, but the content will become dated.

Fantastic information for the modern age.

Fantastic information for the modern age.


trying to make my fifteen word minimum. Not there yet.

so good I had to get the print version as well

There is so much information in this book that I will have to listen to it again and again. I even ordered the print copy so I can mark the information I want to look into more. Definitely worth the money. I'm not interested in avoiding, evading, whatever, Law Enforcement, this is more about keeping what should be just my personal business private. So, yes, I will be exploring some of Mr. Mitnicks suggestions for keeping myself protected.

great and scary read, highly recommend

excellent tips to navigate the electronic world safely,
I'm incorporating so many good tips into my new cyber life.
this is like a manual for our online self's and how we can best stay safe.

Not even done reading it and I aproove

Great information, great book. there is a small downside though, I dislike the immense prep he inserts before talking about each subject and the lack of specifics on some issues. I give it a five star though because this is, by far, the best book I have read on the subject.

Eye-opening!

I really thought I understood Internet security. Wow, was I wrong. After listening to the audiobook, I thought the hardback to have as a reference.

lisened twice

i bought this about a week ago and have listened to it twice so far. this is a must read for today's society..

Great book - Highly recommended

Must read for those of you looking to keep your privacy safe. Read it cover to cover.
