Followed him for years from hacker zine texts distributed on CDs back in the day. Wow that’s really sad what a fun guy he was. His social engineering book was pretty interesting. That OKI phone story was so fascinating I bought a couple to see if I could do it too, although by then 900MHz was phased out. This guy made a difference in my life how very strange

Lol! and the Sun story was hysterical. Mailing update floppies to a target and letting them install the malware for you. That’s just priceless comedy
