the 'cracker's dad tells all

as bill landreth's father--from 'trs-80' to his 'franklin ace', i may assure anyone that he was the core of the 'inner-circle', no second place. i paid his 4-digit phone bills, was present as the FBI scoured a mansion for evidence--his group easily hacked the CIA, Nasa, NSA, Norad and any operative Big mainframes--they did no damage, and simply sought knowledge. confined for 90 days, he was released swiftly after scrutiny that revealed an IQ of 183, and no criminal intent. his book may now be'dated', but look a those acquiring it--a good 'security' primer still.
