### Source excerpt

Kukułcze jajo Ekscytujące łowy na nieuchwytnego hackera Author: Clifford Stoll I've read it in Polish, so I kept polish picture. This book had a huge impact on how I perceive IT security. It was the way that shaped my fascination by Unix systems and probably impacted some of my decisions about my future 😉 It's a fascinating lecture on the battle between "sys admin" (actually an astronomer external link and kinda random guy, but with a skill) and a hacker. Cold war times. Quite "analog" IT systems, printers as terminals, etc. A time machine to the beginnings of networks and Internet. It was at a time when there was no encryption on services. Computers were powerful machines taking whole rooms and you could work with them only via terminal. A different world, but that's how it all started.
