CUCKOO'S EGG | 
pickNicely written, and interesting from a historical standpoint—written during ye olde times when the Internet was still a cooing baby. Reads like a cross between a true crime / spy novel, slice-of-life memoir, confessions of a wavering anarchist, and an old Linux manual. An interesting mix, and enjoyable for a geek like me 👍
3.5/5
pickI remembered hearing this story years ago in one of my CS classes. It‘s well-written and an exciting journey uncovering the hacker and working with (and in spite of) various government agencies (that are loath to cooperate). For me, I enjoyed reading about the state of the field of computation in the late eighties (a few years before I entered).
pick🎧 Is computer security your jam? Well here‘s an Audible $6 sale book you may like.
This book was written 30 years ago & has aged well. An astronomer at LBL comes across espionage in the form of computer hacking. Feds blow him off, no one helps him so he ends up spying on the spies, a one man sting that eventually gets the attention of the CIA.
He ends up catching an international spy ring funded by cash, drugs & the KBG. True story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/5
YESSSS! Finally arrived from Amazon. Been looking forward to reading this one for a while after my brother told me about it.
