Episode Description
Hackers supporting defense agencies is common enough that I included this scenario in the third book of my hacker trilogy (Breaking Backbones: From Chaos to Order).
In real life, this is the true story of Andrew Strutt, a respected, self-taught hacker, co-founder of Telephreak.org, and administrator of the 2600 IRC and Facebook page (with 63,000 followers). He even had his door kicked down in a warrantless FBI raid—a badge of honor in the hacker community.
Even with this background, Andrew, with the help of a fellow hacker, got through the security clearances to work in defense agencies because, as he says, he never done anything illegal.
Join us for this fun episode featuring a historic figure in the hacker community.
