The wikipedia for Robert Morris is wrong. It should point to the page about Robert Tappan Morris, not Robet Morris, which doesn’t exist.

I created an appropriate redirect on Wikipedia, so that the b0rken link for RTM within this article will work for now.

Thanks Ryan

Hey Adrian!

There are maybe two or three actual hackers on this list.

6. to learn to hack.
thanks for the history lesson, all I know about hacking comes from watching War Games

I hate to detract from the gravitas of the sentiment, but Emmanuel did mention in the closing ceremonies that there’ll be a “The Next HOPE” in 2010–but I’ll certainly agree that we cannot allow the Hacking Gap with Asia to widen.

Woot! I’m #6. In all seriousness, thanks, and especially thanks for giving Phrack a shoutout. It was a great publication, and I was always honored to be in it.

I liked your collection, even wrote about it my self on todays blog post. Anyways I was wondering where you are from Nik, sounds to me like Nikola but I might be wrong.

This post is rife with grammatical and spelling errors. Get your life together.

Anyone know what ended up happening with ADM and w00w00? I found an archive online but not much else. I dropped of IRC in ’01

isn’t this a list of top 10 cracker-likes, not hackers … ? eric raymond is going to flame you to a crisp for abusing the work ….
now, sventek was a hacker …

‘word’ i meant , not ‘work’

What about Gary McKinnon ?

I concur with the statement that there are maybe two or three names that belong on this list. Most of them are “hackers” but Top Ten material? No. By the way, nmap initially used OS fingerprinting based on a tool called QueSO (Que Sistema Operativo?) or “What Operating System?” written by someone (or group?) in Mexico.

I could pick the list apart, but I’m too lazy. Plus “best ever hackers” is pretty vague, simply because “hacker” means so many things.

There is no computer which cannot be hacked, and there is no one who can make his computer enough secure that hacker cannot enter inside his system! That is the only rule I as a hacker know!!! And all these hackers on this list have been caught by the police, and that doesn’t make them good hackers it makes them the worst hackers ever cause good hackers are hackers who haven’t been caught.

wow

Good idea for an article, but the execution is kind of pathetic. It’s like you just copied and pasted sentence fragments! Please, please, please, have somebody read your posts before you put them out. Also, linking to a wikipedia article does not count as posting your own content…

Awesome is all. But I have a question. How, how can it break another man’s computer to mine using it. Just because I want to see the other computer, what are you wearing that .. Anyway, I’m Hungarian but I turned off the google.hu with …
