À propos de cet audio

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 75 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.

This was, quite honestly, one of the best books I’ve ever listened to. What an absolutely fascinating tale. How a curious student stumbles on a hacker, tries to alert authorities, but no one will listen… not the FBI, CIA, or a half dozen agencies responsible for technology and security. Yet, he persists. With just enough of his personal story to illustrate how the ‘incident’ impacted (aka took over) his personal life, and his musings on his predicament, Stoll kept me hanging on, wanting to know the outcome. Greatly appreciate the time he took to share his story.

One of the best books!
