Armed with clear evidence of computer espionage, he began a highly personal quest to expose a hidden network of spies that threatened national security. But would the authorities back him up? Cliff Stoll&#039;s dramatic firsthand account is &quot;a computer-age detective story, instantly fascinating [and] astonishingly gripping&quot; (Smithsonian).<br /> Cliff Stoll was an astronomer turned systems manager at Lawrence Berkeley Lab when a 75-cent accounting error alerted him to the presence of an unauthorized user on his system. The hacker&#039;s code name was &quot;Hunter&quot; -- a mysterious invader who managed to break into U.S. computer systems and steal sensitive military and security information. Stoll began a one-man hunt of his own: spying on the spy. It was a dangerous game of deception, broken codes, satellites, and missile bases -- a one-man sting operation that finally gained the attention of the CIA...and ultimately trapped an international spy ring fueled by cash, cocaine, and the KGB. <br /> |isbn=<br /> *1416507787<br /> *978-1416507789<br /> |link=https://www.amazon.com/Cuckoos-Egg-Tracking-Computer-Espionage/dp/1416507787<br /> }}</div>
