Why indict the guy for knowing more than you do? Public record shows he outwitted socalled sophisticated authorities. I think the man is worthy of admiration, not defamation. It sort of gives you ideas, you know what I mean?

If you remember when cell phones first came out and cloning was happening all over with cell phones you will love this book. It is really a fastinating read. And to think that it may be true.
Something new & interesting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The book Memoirs of A Hi-Tech Hustler reminds me of a cartoon. The main character-Evans is in a sense a hero. He basically educated himself in hacking systems. He now protects his own system(s), as well as creating software to help the public systems from being hacked. He didn't need a degree to outsmart people. In this case it seems like the bad guy wins. Most people feel that it's unusual for the bad guy to win. So it's ironic that Evans won. I feel this book is comedy because some of things that occurred in this book were that Evans was now able to run into the people such as police who gave him a hard time back when it was a crime for Evans to do what he now makes a living doing. I can relate to how good Evans felt when he was able to confront the police that was at one time busting him for doing wrong. Now Evans is on top of his game and what he does is legal. Trust me when I say, `You should read this book!.'
Humorous Book

This book was very humorous it made me remember being a kid again and doing some of the same kinds of things that the author did. As a child I was very curious and was always getting into things that I wasn't supposed to. I was punished for these things and knew wrong from right but I still attempted to try things. As an adult It becomes our decision to do things based on our own judgment rather it be a good judgment or not. We still have to learn from our own mistakes. This authors' curiosity brought him where he is today. I can tell by reading this book that this author was determined to get somewhere with the knowledge that he had because he knew that what he was doing was a crime but at the time he was doing it for the wrong reasons-to make money. It's just ironic how a crime that was illegal now is legal if you're actually doing it for an actual company.
Family Man

I particularly liked the fact how this author incorporated some of the lessons that he learned from his own son(s) in this book. Most people don't take the time to listen to their own children when they ask questions or show concern about things in life. Evans is showing us that we can learn from children just as much as they can learn from adults. We need each other. Besides, children see things that an adult may overlook most of the time. For instance; in Evans' book he mentions how a friend of his had a bullet proof car and one of his sons asked, their dad Greg how he knew if the car was bullet proof if no one hadn't ever shot at the car before? That's a good question coming from a young child. Greg learned a lesson from his son that day which I believe was one of the lessons that got him where he is today. There are so many people who are so sure of themselves about things that they've put a lot of time and effort into, but most of the time there's someone else such as a hacker that can easily break a code in only a matter of minutes such as Evans. Corporations who have had their systems hacked in the past could have benefited from Evans sons' lesson if they would of known what that lesson was. Society could prevent a lot of mishaps if children weren't failed to be heard when they attempt to tell adults things.
