Search - The Art of Deception : Controlling the Human Element of Security

This book is rife with examples that enable the reader to better understand the mind of the social engineer and some of the tactics that are frequently employed to deceived and manipulate others for the sake of information. However, much of the book comes off as purely hypothetical, and serves more than one would like as an advertisement for Mitnick's own services. All in all, though, very interesting.

This book is somewhat long winded but a good description of what hackers might be up to, even if they don't have a computer.
