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's dramatic firsthand account is \"a computer-age detective story, instantly fascinating [and] astonishingly gripping\" (Smithsonian).  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's code name was \"Hunter\" — 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.","brand":"Cliff Stoll","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48692661846307,"sku":"9781416507789","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5437\/3411\/files\/9781416507789_p0_v6_s600x595.jpg?v=1718548878","url":"https:\/\/glenthebookhouse.com\/products\/the-cuckoos-egg-cliff-stoll","provider":"BOOKDP4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
