Some say famed hacker Kevin Mitnick is blowing a golden opportunity to cast the hacker community in a more positive light. Mitnick was once the most-wanted hacker in the United States. He was an undisputed master at social engineering and broke into dozens of networks as a fugitive. He went on to serve five years in prison and has since built a successful consultancy. Mitnick’s love for his family (especially his mother and grandmother) were clear throughout the book. His description of solitary confinement and his anxiety of returning to those conditions seemed very real.”]
