WOOT!

he missed out alot
time for him to catch up and refurbish his skills a bit!

Oh yeah...heh, he sure has missed out on quite a bit. I know for a fact that I'm gonna watch that...that is so awesome, interviewing one of the best hackers around. Keefe and Omega: we need to get this guy's number and get a hold of him, make him a member on these boards...heh, he can give us some insight

Lets not forget Kevin Mitnik was held in prison for 5 years without EVER going to trial. A direct violation of his rights to a fair and speedy trial granted to him by the United States Constitution.

I can't believe the ACLU never jumped all over this.

Yeah, I think that your right man. But he sure did look happy when he was free. All the pictures of him, when he got out of jail, big ol' grin, heh. Can't wait to watch the episode on TechTV

It'd be interesting to see what he thinks of security now-a-days...I know, I know: I'm spelling out the obvious...

Laporte: You went to jail for how long?

Mitnick: For five years. I was held for four and a half years without trial.

Laporte: That's, by the way, an extraordinarily long period of time to be --

Mitnick: People that are convicted of killing somebody spend less time in jail.

Laporte: Yeah...
