为什么值得读
- 如惊悚小说般扣人心弦且幽默生动
- 生动展现计算机安全概念的演变历程
- 记录了涉及早期互联网名人的真实事件
在那个有计算机并不意味着就有网络的年代（计算机曾经是独立的单机，很难与其他系统通信），维护计算机的使用账号费用高昂，并且受到管理人员的严密审查。当 Stoll 任职大学的财务部门发现有 75 美分机时没有任何关联用户时，他们打电话给他，要求他找出那个“幽灵”用户。Stoll 甚至根本不是计算机专业人员——他只是一名天文学家，平时用计算机运行程序来精准校准望远镜的朝向。

Cliff Stoll 写的《杜鹃蛋》（The Cuckoo's Egg）。
The Cuckoo's Egg, by Cliff Stoll.
高中（也可能是初中？）那会儿，学校要求选一本非虚构类的书读，我就挑了 Stoll 写的《杜鹃蛋》。当时我已经对电脑感兴趣了，但完全不知道电脑能做到什么地步，也不知道这种兴趣能走向何方。而这本书彻底改变了我的认知，让我受益匪浅。我记得特别清楚……
Sometime in high school (middle maybe?), I had to pick a non-fiction book to read for school, and picked Cuckoo's Egg by Stoll. I was already in to computers, but had no idea what was possible or where that interest in computers would or could go, and this booked changed my view for the better. I distinctly remember…
虽然我身边还没读过它、又刚好会欣赏它的朋友不多，但 Clifford Stoll 的《杜鹃蛋》不仅是一部极具娱乐性的惊悚故事，更生动展现了人们过去和现在是如何看待计算机安全的，同时也是一个人努力探寻真相的极具个人色彩的故事。非常风趣，完全……
I don't have any friends who haven't read it who would appreciate it, but Clifford Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg is both a highly entertaining thriller, a fascinating look at how computer security was, and is, viewed, and a highly personal story about a man trying to figure it all out. It's very funny, entirely…
他真的是写《杜鹃蛋：追查计算机间谍之网》（The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking A Spy Through The Maze Of Computer Espionage）的那个 Cliff Stoll 本人吗？那是我有生以来最喜欢的书之一。如果你还没读过，我强烈推荐。我都不知道 Cliff Stoll 居然还搞过其他这么牛的……
Is he really the same Cliff Stoll who wrote The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking A Spy Through The Maze Of Computer Espionage? It is one of my all time favorite books. I really recommend it if you haven't read it already. I didn't know Cliff Stoll also made other awesome…
……这类的东西：写出那个作品的 Robert Morris，是 YCombinator 的创始人之一，引申开来也是 Hacker News 的创始人之一。计算机历史上的经典著作之一就是 Clifford Stoll 的《杜鹃蛋》。这本书本身就很棒，而且里面还提到了 Robert Morris 和 Paul Graham，我读到的时候又惊又喜（它写的不是蠕虫病毒，而是一起黑客事件）。最后，Clifford……
…kind of thing: Robert Morris, who wrote the work, was one of the founders of YCombinator, and by extensions Hacker News. One of the classic books on the history of computers is Clifford Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg". It's a great book in general, and it mentions Robert Morris and Paul Graham, which I was surprised to find when I read it (it's not about the worm, but about a hacking incident). And lastly, Clifford…
……对 Smiley 说“没有理由认为他们监听了电话”，Smiley 则回道“有充分的理由”。我在安全意识培训课上经常跟学员说，《杜鹃蛋》是一本必读书，http://www.amazon.com/The-Cuckoos-Egg-Tracking-Espionage/dp/.... 比如书中讲到 Dec Vax 上的默认服务账号，用户名是 Field，密码是 Service。看看这本书是什么时候写的，再看看我们现在的习惯……
…says to Smiley "There is no reason to think that they tapped the phone" to which Smiley replies "There is Every reason". A must read, I tell my students in my Security Awareness training classes is The Cuckoo's Egg http://www.amazon.com/The-Cuckoos-Egg-Tracking-Espionage/dp/.... Examples like default service accounts on Dec Vax with username Field and password Service. Note when this is written and are our habits…
