Kevin Mitnick The most famous, and
undoubtedly most gifted hacker in history,
made a name for himself in 1981 at the
tender age of 17 by getting into a phone
exchange, which allowed him to redirect
subscriber calls in any way he wanted. In
1983, he achieved his first major coup and also his first arrest - when he
accessed a Pentagon computer. It was his
repeated offenses that made him a target
of the FBI. He was sentenced to five years
in prison in the 1990s, but today he is a
security consultant and owns his own
company: Mitnick Security.
John Draper known as "Cap'n Crunch",
Draper was one of the first hackers in
history. This moniker comes from the
cereal of the same name, inside of which
he once discovered a toy whistle (provided
as a gift to entice children to ask parents
for the cereal). He discovered that he
could use the whistle to hack a telephone
line and get free phone calls - all that was
necessary was to produce a precise tone in
the receiver for the method to work. He
was arrested in 1976 and sentenced to two
months in prison.

Kevin Poulsen :-The current editor-in-chief of

Wired was formerly known for rather different

activities. In 1983, when he too was only 17
years old, he made his fi rst intrusions into
different networks, resulting in a few run-ins
with the US legal system. He continued with
his illegal activities until his arrest by the FBI
in April 1991. In 1994 he was sentenced to
four years in prison.
Adrian Lamo Lamo has certainly driven the

highest number of network administrators

insane. From Microsoft to Yahoo!, going
through Sun Microsystems, MacDonald's,
Cingular, AOL or even the New York Times, he
is credited with all types of intrusions and
corporate security system violations. He has
bypassed protections with disconcerting
simplicity: during a broadcast of the NBC
Nightly News, the host asked him to prove his
talents in front of the camera, and he
responded by gaining access to the company's
internal network in less than fi ve minutes.
Today he is an expert in security and enjoys
full freedom of movement, after being under
the surveillance of US authorities for many
years.
