Former hacker Kevin Poulsen has, over the past decade, built a reputation as one of the top investigative reporters on the cybercrime beat. In Kingpin, he pours his unmatched access and expertise into book form for the first time, delivering a gripping cat-and-mouse narrative—and an unprecedented view into the twenty-first century’s signature form of organized crime.
The word spread through the hacking underground like some unstoppable new virus: Someone—some brilliant, audacious crook—had just staged a hostile takeover of an online criminal network that siphoned billions of dollars from the US economy.
The FBI rushed to launch an ambitious undercover operation aimed at tracking down this new kingpin; other agencies around the world deployed dozens of moles and double agents. Together, the cybercops lured numerous unsuspecting hackers into their clutches. . . . Yet at every turn, their main quarry displayed an uncanny ability to sniff out their snitches and see through their plots.
The culprit they sought was the most unlikely of criminals: a brilliant programmer with a hippie ethic and a supervillain’s double identity. As prominent “white-hat” hacker Max “Vision” Butler, he was a celebrity throughout the programming world, even serving as a consultant to the FBI. But as the black-hat “Iceman,” he found in the world of data theft an irresistible opportunity to test his outsized abilities. He infiltrated thousands of computers around the country, sucking down millions of credit card numbers at will. He effortlessly hacked his fellow hackers, stealing their ill-gotten gains from under their noses. Together with a smooth-talking con artist, he ran a massive real-world crime ring.
And for years, he did it all with seeming impunity, even as countless rivals ran afoul of police.
Yet as he watched the fraudsters around him squabble, their ranks riddled with infiltrators, their methods inefficient, he began to see in their dysfunction the ultimate challenge: He would stage his coup and fix what was broken, run things as they should be run—even if it meant painting a bull’s-eye on his forehead.
Through the story of this criminal’s remarkable rise, and of law enforcement’s quest to track him down, Kingpin lays bare the workings of a silent crime wave still affecting millions of Americans. In these pages, we are ushered into vast online-fraud supermarkets stocked with credit card numbers, counterfeit checks, hacked bank accounts, dead drops, and fake passports. We learn the workings of the numerous hacks—browser exploits, phishing attacks, Trojan horses, and much more—these fraudsters use to ply their trade, and trace the complex routes by which they turn stolen data into millions of dollars. And thanks to Poulsen’s remarkable access to both cops and criminals, we step inside the quiet, desperate arms race that law enforcement continues to fight with these scammers today.
Ultimately, Kingpin is a journey into an underworld of startling scope and power, one in which ordinary American teenagers work hand in hand with murderous Russian mobsters and where a simple Wi-Fi connection can unleash a torrent of gold worth millions.
2012年11月出版,中译本。英文版出版于2011年2月。不算太旧。讲的是当年轰动世界的黑客马克斯·维京的犯罪故事。 全书从马克斯的少年时代开始,详细叙述他的黑客和犯罪生涯。他是一个天才黑客,也曾经为国家效力,可惜陷入偷窃倒卖信用卡资料的犯罪中。2007年被捕,10年被判13...
评分该书讲述的是一个有关黑客的引人入胜且扣人心弦的故事,内容包括他的背景资料、心智技能以及从事过的犯罪活动。 每次朋友同事问我怎样才能懂得网络安全方面的知识,我都会给他们如下建议。我推荐他们看亚马逊公司推出的一些比较大众化且话题新颖的书,而不是那些网络安全教科书...
评分看到字节社的网站(http://tangcha.tc/books)有这本书的电子版并且豆瓣评价高达四星半,遂过来搜寻搜寻,没想到只有40多书评,这样的话,那4星半就显得不是那么有权威了。看来豆瓣书评不能全信~
评分不管原文怎样,这本书的翻译太烂了,对不住这么高的定价! 快速的翻了一遍算了! 不管原文怎样,这本书的翻译太烂了,对不住这么高的定价! 快速的翻了一遍算了! 不管原文怎样,这本书的翻译太烂了,对不住这么高的定价! 快速的翻了一遍算了!
评分发生在美国及欧洲各地的信用卡资料盗用无疑比书中的情节更复杂,但是这一个典型案例揭示了整个流程中的关键环节,盗取资料,销售资料(构建销售平台,分销出去);无线网络出现之前的网络世界也是有无数漏洞可以带来商机,但是相对之后的还是对普通人影响小很多;无线网络出现...
讲述的是十年前,几个黑客为主角,跨国犯罪集团攻击金融系统的故事。今天看仍然惊心动魄,而现在的cybercrime只能说有过之而无不及。作为消费者感觉非常无处藏身。
评分网络上的猫捉老鼠游戏,不禁想到去年的silk road的事情。不过搞了半天也没赚多少啊,照他的天赋完全不如正正经经工作赚得多...

评分Following the story of the rise and fall of a hacker legend: Max Butler, Kingpin provides an insight into a 'fascinating' cybercrime underground, especially carding. Even though this book fails to make the characters come alive, Kevin Poulsen is very meticulous about the history facts and technical details.
