Summary: Do not read if you have anything to do.
Review: Please don't make the same mistake I did and pick this book up when I was supposed to be moving apartments. It ended up taking me two extra days. I would tell anyone from a UNIX guru to my parents to read this book... On a slow day.

Summary: More than worth reading
Review: I read the German version "Das Kuckucksei" and I recommend it to everybody who is dealing with questions like "Shall I attach our organizations network to the Internet". Unfortunately in Cyberspace there are not only "good guys", so read before in order to avoid headaches afterwards. I read the book on a rainy afternoon, it was more than worth reading itWerner Willeke IT consultant

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This book was very good. I would spend an hour each day reading it and I could not put it down. If you like espionage and computer-related books, then get this book! Cliff Stoll is an excellent author and I wouldn't mind reading it a couple of more times!

Summary: Computer obsession at its best.
Review: A fascinating book from cover to cover. Scientist vs Cyberpunk...Only one could win this amazing cloak and dagger story. A must for others who understand what computer obsession is all about.

Summary: The Accidental Patriot
Review: Quite a story, especially because it is all true. If it wasn't, I would have chided Stoll for such a cartoonish portrayal of the FBI and CIA. Three-quarters of the book through, after seeing evidence of monitoring of hundreds of sessions including attacks on dozens of military computers, one of them said something like "So this is all about you losing seventy-five cents?" How Stoll avoided running screaming out of the city is beyond me. Quite a guy, and it is very noteworthy that this seemingly textbook leftist academic from what even he called the "People's Republic of Berkeley" chose to defend our country, at a cost of big chunks of his life, endangering his career, and ticking off those around him, when the FBI and CIA just plain wouldn't. Something to think about, Beltway boys. In the meantime, read the book.

Summary: Boring and highly repetitious
Review: Reading the book was a drag. It is repetitious and technically dated. The author tries to add a human dimension by inserting episodes of his personal life but it seems out of place. I started on it 6 weeks ago and still haven't finished it and it wasn't from lack of trying.

Summary: The most valuable thing a hacker steals is trust
Review: In addition to being a great guide to how to think about securing your system from intruders this is an absorbing account of one man's quest to catch an intruder whose greatest crime is to violate the trust that the early internet community was built upon. It is a serious bit of social commentary. I literally could not put it down.

Summary: Great book! A must read for anyone using computers.
Review: A great "real-life" story that's not only entertaining, but informative. I'd recommend it for anyone interested in a good spy novel, network security , or a great cookie recipe!

Summary: A must read, no question.
Review: This book never let's up, from cover to cover you are taken on a real-life cyber ride. I found that even readers with little understanding of the Internet and computers were taken in. Everyone from admins to "cyber surfers" should read this book, you'll miss out of you don't
