The Cuckoo's Egg
A great book (and subsequent BBC TV series) telling the true story of Clifford
Stoll, an astronomy professor at UCB's Lawrence Berkeley Lab. A 75-cent
accounting error alerted him to the presence of an unauthorised user (a cracker)
on his system. The cracker, code named "Hunter", was breaking into US computer
systems and stealing sensitive military and security information. Hunter was
part of a spy ring paid in cash and cocaine, and reporting to the KGB.
