«Kuckucksei» is Clifford Stoll's chronicle of the hunt for a hacker, published by Fischer in paperback (in German).
Clifford Stoll, an astronomer and administrator of a university system, detects a 75-cent discrepancy in the computer usage records. What seems like a minor error reveals an intruder on the network; for months he tracks him through the nascent connected systems of the eighties, until uncovering a spy plot.
Auf der Spur von Hackern is the subtitle. The original title, The Cuckoo's Egg, was published in English in 1989; this German edition is from 1995 and includes an updated epilogue.
A read for those who enjoy the history of technology, espionage, and true crime, from the beginnings of computer security.
