Before the Internet became widely known as a global tool for terrorists, one perceptive US citizen recognized its ominous potential. Armed with clear evidence of computer espionage, he began a highly personal quest to expose a hidden network of spies that threatened national security. But would the authorities back him up? Cliff Stoll's dramatic firsthand account is "a computer-age detective story, instantly fascinating [and] astonishingly gripping"-Smithsonian.
Cliff Stoll was an astronomer turned systems manager at Lawrence Berkeley Lab when a seventy-five cent accounting error alerted him to the presence of an unauthorized user on his system. The hacker's code name was "Hunter"-a mysterious invader who managed to break into US computer systems and steal sensitive military and security information. Stoll began a one-man hunt of his own: spying on the spy. It was a dangerous game of deception, broken codes, satellites, and missile bases-a one-man sting operation that finally gained the attention of the CIA … and ultimately trapped an international spy ring fueled by cash, cocaine, and the KGB.

Jest OK, ale w przypadku książki o hakerach mylące jest podawanie roku wydania jako 2020. Książka jest z 1989 roku i opowiada o latach 1985-1988! To kompletnie inna epoka jeśli chodzi o internet, fakt ten powinien znaleźć się w opisie, trudno w obecnych czasach wczuć się w tamte realia, trzeba naprawdę być koneserem. Powinno się ją umieścić w dziale książek historycznych.
