  Badminton Books - THE ART OF DECEPTION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Without an opponent there can be no deception which is one possible reason why the self taught players of earlier years possessed more deception; as being self taught they learned to play by playing and their focus was more on their opponents than on stroke production.
For deception to occur someone must be deceived, in the game this takes the form of a pretence by one player who tries to communicate to his/her opponent via body language, his/her intention to perform a specific stroke-move when in actual fact he/she intends to perform a different stroke-move.
If the deception is to succeed then A must know with some degree of certainty that B will recognise that A's movements indicate that a 'smash' is about to be played, It is as if A presents a picture of him/herself which B perceives and interprets as being of a certain sort.

 Review of The Art of Deception
The Art of Deception is Mitnick’s treatise on social engineering, or the art of “getting people to do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do for a stranger”.
Mitnick, who recently spent a few years in a very small room because of his actions, is certainly a master at this, and the book gives a litany of anecdotes telling how people, with just a few innocent questions, can get access to some of the most “secure” computer systems.
The Art of Deception gives a good overview of one of the most neglected aspects of computer security, with concrete examples and solutions to protect companies from social engineers.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Magazine :: The Art of Deception
In his native Spain, Fontcuberta has pioneered a form of prank art that forges traditional artistic scenes and representations and passes them off as real, thus raising the question of what is, in fact, authentic.
While “Fauna Secreta” has since toured many well-known art museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, it was first exhibited at the National Museum of Natural History in Madrid as a genuine scientific catalog.
Ultimately, Fontcuberta hopes that his art serves a useful and instructive purpose, reminding people of the subjectivity of truth and the limits of one’s own perception.

An official at the Museum of Modern Art said that a painting of a can of cream-of-tomato soup was found hanging in a third-floor elevator lobby and taken down on March 17.
A spokesman for the Museum of Natural History, where the graffiti artist apparently hung a glass-encased beetle (a real one) equipped with fighter jet wings, missiles, and a satellite dish, confirmed the incident by e-mail but did not say when the work was found.
PICTURES OF the illicit art installations, apparently taken by an accomplice of Banksy, were posted last week at woostercollective.com, a site that has become a repository of pictures of graffiti and other street and urban art.

 Review: the Art of Deception
Mitnick's suggested countermeasures in section 4 of the book are fairly straightforward (a wide-ranging security awareness program and a decent set of policies) but implementing them effectively and persuading employees to pay attention requires those very social engineering skills described in sections 1-3, or the NoticeBored security awareness service of course.
Readers are left with the distinct impression that Mitnick is teasing us by describing a few simple deceptions whilst keeping the best to himself.
Otherwise sane, intelligent individuals are evidently being drawn into parting with their hard-earned cash on the basis of these crude deceptions.

 Book Review: The Art of Deception   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
To a hacker, the art of "social engineering", or manipulating people into divulging information, is a skill that is as important as understanding operating systems or network protocols.
To his critics, "The Art of Deception" is just another con game by Mitnick - an extension of his original social engineering exploits in an attempt to legitimize himself and make a profit.
Now that Kevin has paid his dues to society and put the past behind him, we hope that he will continue to write, lecture and teach to the "white hat" security community, and this book is certainly a good start.

Somebody who uses deception, influence, and persuasion against businesses, usually targeting their information, belongs to the other sub-specialty, the social engineer.

As "The Art of Deception" reminds us again and again, computer security is only as good as the person on the other end of the phone.
