Thanks a lot for this post...is it a good book to read?

[tyger_claw]

Totally!

It give you a history lesson to how phone work and came into place,
Historical story about the AT&T attack in 1990 and the "crackdown" on the hackers responsible for it. FBI and everything.....

Thanks a lot for this post...is it a good book to read?

It's quite interesting from a historical perspective. The author gives a straight out acount of events which relies on lots of facts and figures. There isn't much of a creative slant given to the content. Most of the text focuses on AT&T and the phone phreaking community. There isn't too much information on "computer hackers" by comparison. But it's still a good read that includes some interesting insights on the ideas and politics around at the time.

Here's the html version (http://www.mit.edu/hacker/hacker.html) if anyone's interested.

I bought that book a long time ago, but haven't read still, when I have time I'll read it perhaps...
But the picture in the front cover is a bit, ermm "idiotic" (couldn't find a word to fit)
:hiphop: :smokes:

[tyger_claw]

Don't know what the cover looks like.... but do know that it is good reading.....

Asa, could you scan the cover for me? curious to what it looks like.....

[ASA]

Sorry, I don't have a scanner...
The cover is red in colour, there's an old desktop computer.
In the monitor there's a man covering half of his face with his jacket..
