Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This taut, true thriller dives into a dark world that touches us all, as seen through the brilliant, breakneck career of an extraordinary hacker--a woman known only as Alien. When she arrived at MIT in the 1990s, Alien was quickly drawn to the school's tradition of high-risk physical trespassing: the original "hacking." Within a year, one of her hallmates was dead and two others were arraigned. Alien's adventures were only just beginning. After a stint at the storied, secretive Los Alamos National Laboratory, Alien was recruited by a top cybersecurity firm where she deployed her cache of virtual weapons--and the trespassing and social engineering talents she had developed while "hacking" at MIT. The company tested its clients' security by every means possible--not just coding, but donning disguises and sneaking past guards and secretaries into the C-suite. Alien now runs a boutique hacking outfit that caters to some of the world's biggest and most vulnerable institutions--banks, retailers, government agencies. Her work combines devilish charm, old-school deception, and next generation spycraft. In Breaking and Entering, cybersecurity finally gets the rich, character-driven, fast-paced treatment it deserves. This gripping true story of a master hacker reveals: Social Engineering: How devilish charm and old-school deception allow a hacker to sneak past guards and secretaries into the C-suite. MIT Hacking Culture: A deep dive into the world of high-risk physical trespassing--the original "hacking"--from exploring steam tunnels to climbing the Great Dome. Digital Forensics: A look inside the secretive Los Alamos National Laboratory and top-tier cybersecurity firms where virtual weapons are deployed against the world's biggest institutions. A Woman in a Man's World: The character-driven true story of Alien, an extraordinary woman who built a brilliant, breakneck career in the male-dominated fields of technology and spycraft.…
