🦅 Kevin #Mitnick, dit le Condor 🦅 4/4

👨‍💻 Il aura filé entre les doigts du #FBI pendant 6 ans. Sa cavale, sa peine de prison puis sa reconversion dans la #cybersécurité montrerons l'importance grandissante du domaine au monde entier.

En sjælden #fredagsbog fra mig. Kevin #Mitnick døde kort før min ferie. Så det var oplagt at smide den her – der har ligget og ventet i årevis – i rygsækken. Jeg havde også en musikdims med, som jeg forventede at bruge det meste af togtiden på. Men mine hovedtelefoner gik i stykker efter en dag og så måtte jeg jo ty til bogen.

Fin, let læst historie om hacking og – især – social engineering og hvordan man kan udnytte at de fleste mennesker (heldigvis!) tror på det bedste i andre.

🦅 Kevin #Mitnick, dit le Condor 🦅 2/3

👨‍💻 Après sa première condamnation, notre #hacker développe une véritable addiction pour le cybercrime dont il est le pionner. Allant jusqu'à tenter une intrusion au Pentagone, il rentre dans le collimateur du #FBI...

Dernière partie bientôt !

⚫ Kevin #Mitnick, a reformed #hacker who was once one of the #FBI's "most wanted" #cybercriminals, has died at the age of 59

He died last Sunday following a 14-month long battle with pancreatic cancer

"Kevin was an original; much of his life reads like a fiction story," his obituary reads

One of my favorite "nerd" possesions is Kevin Mitnick's business card.

It is metal with a punch-out lock pick set embedded in it.

@noracodes also #Mitnick was the original #SocialHacker...

Sadly that's another person dearly missed that I never had the chance to meet in person.

I was living in Los Angeles during his ordeal. Unforgettable times of early #2600 hacker quarterly and meetings in Union Station 💻. Unforgettable, #Mitnick.
Rest In Peace, Kevin 💔

So #mitnick died. His early legacy shaped my own world. Never met him, but I sure knew of him. His stories, both the true ones and the fake ones, were so intertwined in how I learned about computing in my youth. When I was learning on the PDP-11 I was told about his hacks years earlier with DEC. That shaped my impression of what was possible, the good and the bad.

Died at 59. I do feel bad that he's gone.

Regarding Kevin #Mitnick, I spent a great deal of time studying his career for my book on #SocialEngineering. You can read the resulting chapter for free here:

https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5281/chapter/3666131/Pretexting-Recognizing-the-Mitnick-Mythology

Kevin #Mitnick had just been freed that year, and he had been invited to #DefCon as a special attendee (note, not guest).

The panel was on social engineering, and there was a *lot* of interest. Kevin himself even showed up.

But when the panel started, it was three kids talking in monotonous tones, reading from laptops, from some pretty bad / basic article on the topic.

By 20 minutes in, over half the audience was gone.

And then... 2/ (cont)

kevin #mitnick is forever part of the folklore of the internet and the society we live and work in today. condolences to his friends and family, he will certainly never be forgotten. first time i boxed a call was because of a book i read that featured him.

#RIPKevin I just heard that #Kevin #Mitnick has passed away. He only was 59 years old. #FreeKevin
