The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnick

I've had this one on my "To Read" list for some time now. Just never had the cycles to commit to the book.  Got through the first few chapters and I've got to hand it to Mr. Mitnick on this one.  If the stories contained within the book are true then my hat off to him.

It's amazing how the seemingly benign information he gathers in the beginning of each story can be used to gain access to the pot of gold at the end.  I find it fascinating how a high degree of IQ/EQ when used in the right way can accomplish such amazing results.

Next up on the reading list are:
"The Hacker Playbook: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing"
"Security Testing with Kali Linux"
"Red Team Field Manual"
"The Balanced Scorecard - Translating Strategy into Action"
