This is a young man who is 35 years old. It is almost 15 years after his hacker career is later jailed.
His long crime time, the number of crimes, the destructive power, the essence of his technology, the legend of the experience, and the whole world is shocked, but also protects the computer police.
When Mitnik is only 3 years old, his parents are divorced. He lived with his mother, and he learned that it was self-reliant, but he also formed a lonely personality. At the end of the 1970s, Mitnik, 13-year-old, I like to get amateur radio activities. When I am in contact with radio enthusiasts around the world, he first appreciated the fun of sprinkling. He quickly fans in the community "primary school club", and thus cultivated high computers expertise and operational skills. The teacher of secondary schools agreed that he is a smart, there is a child who has cultivated future, until one day found that he found a computer from the school to break into other schools. When people were shocked, he had to drop out.
At that time, the United States has begun to build some community computer networks. In the community network where Mitnik is located, family computers are not only communicating with companies, but also connect to government departments. Of course, these "computer territories" do often have password blockade. At this time, an exotic bold plan formed in the Mitnish head. He bought a good performance computer with the money earned. Since then, he has far exceeded the patient and perseverance of its age, trying to decompipulate the US senior military password. Soon, only 15-year-old Mrtnik broke into the computer host of "North American Air Defense Command System". He and other friends all over the United States pointing the data of all the nuclear warheads of the Soviet Union and its allies, and then quiet Solver slipped out. This is indeed a classic in hacking history.
After breaking into the "North American Air Defense Command System", Mitnick's confidence has increased. Soon, he decipher the famous "Pacific Telephone Company" in the South California Communication Network "Rehabilitation Password". He began to change the company's computer users, especially the phone number and communication address of a well-known person. For a time, these users were torful and smaked, and the Pacific Company had to apologize. At the beginning, the company thought it was a computer, it was repeatedly tested, and it was found that computer hardware and hardware was intact, and it was realized that some people were deciphering passwords, deliberately troubled. At that time, their only measure was to change the password, which is really a small technique in front of Mrtnik.
Fortunately, Mitnick at this time has not been interesting to the Pacific Company. He has a strong interest in the computer network of the Federal Investigation Bureau. One day, Mrtnik discovered that specialists were investigating a "computer hacker", which interested in the investigation information. Looking at it, he was shocked: the respondent is actually himself! Mitter immediately declared the unknown, deciphering the password of the "Central Computer System" of the Federal Investigation Bureau, and began to seriously review the "Report of the Case Development". Soon, Mrtnik dismissed them. He laughed at these agents with no marginal search, and tagged the archives of several agents responsible for investigations, and put them into full criminals.
With the latest "computer network information tracking machine", agents still captured Mitnick. When people learned that the federal agent wolf is actually a child who is less than 16 years old, it is uncomfortable. Many kind, people who don't understand the truth have asked the court to fall from him. Perhaps because the network crime is still very fresh, the law has a fresh precedent, the court comes from "public opinion", and only Mitnick is sent to the "Juvenile Crime Taste". So Mitter became the world's first "computer network teenager committee".
Soon, Mrtnik was falsely released. However, he did not change evil. Computer network is too tempting to him. This time he turned his gaze to some have a good reputation. In a short period of time, he has entered the network of 5 large companies in the United States, and constantly issues an angry misunderstanding, and the importance of some important contracts are all unrecognizable. He even decided to launch an offense to the entire US industrial confidential computer --- the United States data assembly system. In 1988, he was arrested again by law enforcement authorities. This reason is that DEC accuses him from the company's network.
Take the $ 1 million software and caused a loss of $ 4 million. This time, he did not even be allowed to be bail. The police authorities with a heartite believe that he will make a threat to the community as long as you have a keyboard. Mitnick was sentenced to one year in prison. After leaving prison, he tried to find a stable job. However, the federal government believes that he is a threat to society, so he is strictly monitored. Every employer who is interested in his computer skills, and finally refused his application because of his warning officer's warning. This deprives Mitnick abandoned evil from a certain sense.
In 1993, the Federal Investigation Bureau in the heart did even bought a hacker, induce Mitter.
Grammn, to fill him again in prison again. Mitnik easily hooks, illegally invading a telephone network. However, the number one hacker is extraordinary. He has entered the internal network of the Federal Investigation Bureau and found the circle set off, and then ran before the arrest command was issued. The Federal Investigation Bureau immediately wanted Mitnick nationwide. In the next two years, the Federal Investigation Bureau not only discovered Mitnick's traces, but also, the relevant reports have made this case with detective novels: Mitnick tried to control one of California during the escape process. The telephone system has enabled him to eave himself to track his police exploration.
1994 Christmas, Martnik launched an attack on the San Diego Super Computer Center, "New York
Times "call this action" put the entire Internet in a dangerous situation. " The object of this attack also includes a famous figure because of Mitnick, that is, the "one of the most excellent computer security experts in the United States", and the Japanese computer expert working in the center. Mitnik scared the data and documents in his hand, and he was determined to help the Federal Investigation Office disappears. After Christmas, he was exhausted, and his horse did not stop, and finally discovered Mrtnik's whereabouts in 1995, and inform the Federal Investigation Bureau to arrest it. In February 1995, Martnik was finally sent to the court. In the court, with the handcuffed Mitnik turned to the first time I met and tried to testify, I sincerely said: "Hello, the village, I admire your technology."
The famous online hack is finally sentenced, and he will spend a long time in the iron window. The taste is that the three American federal judges agreefully rejected by Mitnik's parole requirements. According to the judge, "if Mitnick is released from prison, there is no way to put the tiger return to the mountains, the whole of the United States, even the whole world It is going to mess up. "
For Mitnish case, we can't pay attention to this genius, what is the crime of familiarity with usual people, and all this seems to be not for money, of course, not only In order to revenue others or society. He is a free computer programmer, used by old cars, and lives in his mother's old apartment. He also did not use his genius recognized in the computer, or use his superman skills to get money, although this is not very difficult to him. Moreover, he did not think of using his own decryption to enter some systems, stealing an important intelligence to sell money. For DEC's allegations, he said: "I have never moved their software to make money." He played computer, invading the network seems to be just to get a powerful power, his secret thing about all secrets, Deciphering the invasion of the computer system is very obsessed, you can give up everything for this purpose. He has a special feeling for the computer. When the prosecutor in Los Angeles accused him to impair him into the computer, he even shed tears. A handless person said that there is a umbilical cord between the computer and his soul. This is why he will become a giant because he is in front of the computer. "Mitnick case seems to end. During the writing of this book, it also came to a more amazing news: Mitnik case has continued. However, this time Mrtnik is just a bit supporting role. On December 8, 1997, the supporters of the imprisoned Mitnick on the network requested the US government to release Mitnick, otherwise they will start with the virus in many computers through the network! They claim that once Mitnik released, they will provide a virus cracking method. For a time, the Internet has fallen into a new panic.
Domestic and foreign media have reported this news of this network less. Mitnik's lawyer Lunda also issued a statement that his party "does not agree with his name to harm any computer users." The true and false of this matter also needs to be confirmed: Is it true? Is these hackers in blackmail? But in any case, as the evaluation of some foreign media: "These hackers have made Mitnik to see."
The history of the young number hacker is still not written ...
