The Cuckoo's Egg

Just finished The Cuckoo’s Egg. Pre-morris worm haxoring! The closest anything came to a mention of Redmond was a flippant reference to “DOS” about twice, amongst many other PC OS’s. Ben suggested it, good/fast read. Pre Chaos Club! Pre-BBS! NYT best seller, yadda-yadda.

PS: I love that amazon lists this: The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security by Steve Wozniak as if Woz wrote it. :woz: What a fucking terrible book. Er… FREE KEVIN…
