At
Large: the Strange Case of the World's Biggest Internet Invasion
by David H. Freedman, Charles C. Mann
Perhaps the scariest story of insufficient computer security and cybercrime
yet is the true tale of Phantom Dialer. He accessed university and military
research centers, banks, even the computers that controlled central California's
dams. His actions could have put tens of thousands of lives at risk. And
what makes it so frightening is that he was not a criminal or computing
genius. He was a curious, persistent, and mentally-challenged young man
who never truly understood his own actions. So if he could do that, what
might a determined terrorist do? Because, as Charles Mann and David Freedman
show, advances in the Internet have been making it easier, not harder,
for security crackers to go where they're not wanted. The book reads like
a techno-thriller--from the discovery of a small cyberbreak-in to the massive
manhunt that tracked him down and the troubled birth of the FBI's computer
crime squad--complete with all the humor and poignancies of real human
events.
At Large is an amazingly granular book that will appeal to computer
junkies everywhere, but may not serve as the public rallying cry it wants
to be. The story centers on the exploits of a young hacker known as both
phantomd and Infomaster and the terror he inflicts on computer systems
worldwide.
The essential question raised by Freedman and Mann is: if phantomd,
who is both physically and mentally handicapped, can penetrate into university,
corporation, and military systems through sheer tenacity, what will stop
the legions of better-equipped, more intelligent cybercriminals from doing
far worse? Their conclusion is not pretty.
Each chapter is peppered with plenty of juicy, foreboding quotes from
security professionals, industry insiders, and government officials prophesizing
the next wave of computer crime and terrorism. The estimations of Internet
security are right on the money though. The technical writing is superb,
clear, and precise. Anyone could pick this book up and understand the exploits
of the hackers and their larger ramifications, but the thorough descriptions
and numerous footnotes eventually slow the story's pace down. This is a
shame as the ending is worth reaching. Amazon.com
