The Human. Now You Know All About

Both Social Engineering And Technical Attacks Played A Big Part In What I Was Able To Do. It Was A Hybrid. I Used Social Engineering When It Was Appropriate, And Exploited Technical Vulnerabilities When It Was Appropriate.

Any Type Of Operating System That I Wanted To Be Able To Hack, I Basically Compromised The Source Code, Copied It Over To The University Because I Didn't Have Enough Space On My 200 Megabyte Hard Drive.

I Was Addicted To Hacking, More For The Intellectual Challenge, The Curiosity, The Seduction Of Adventure; Not For Stealing, Or Causing Damage Or Writing Computer Viruses.

The Methods That Will Most Effectively Minimize The Ability Of Intruders To Compromise Information Security Are Comprehensive User Training And Education. Enacting Policies And Procedures Simply Won't Suffice. Even With Oversight The Policies And Procedures May Not Be Effective: My Access To Motorola, Nokia, Att, Sun Depended Upon The Willingness Of People To Bypass Policies And Procedures That Were In Place For Years Before I Compromised Them Successfully.
