Well Raccoon the reason i didn't elaborate on technical terms like those was due to my audience. The people in my class don't give a hoot about much anything so some of them barely stayed awake for what I had. Plus at the time I really didn't now to much about the specifics on types of hacks myself.
As far as a rubric I do not have one anymore. I'm mainly just looking for opions.
Third thing the Oscar Meyer Whistle is true. I cut this from this site http://progsystem.free.fr/greatesthackers.htm
"Handle: Cap'n Crunch
a.k.a.: John Draper
Claim to fame:
Figured out how to make free phone calls using a plastic prize whistle he found in a cereal box. Cap'n Crunch introduced generations of hackers to the glorious concept of phone "phreaking."
First encountered a computer:
As a teenager, trying to convince pay phones to return his coin and put through his calls.
Unusual tools:
The toy whistle from boxes of Cap'n Crunch cereal. The whistle reproduced the 2600 hertz tone necessary to authorize a call. Used in conjunction with a bluebox, it allowed users to make free phone calls. (Oscar Meyer weiner whistles also briefly gained a following among phone phreakers.)"
