I Was a Teenage Hacker
HotWired Washington Bureau Chief Declan McCullagh reveals the sordid truth about how he spent his teenage years in this article published by IntellectualCapital.com. But Declan is not nearly as sympathetic to the current generation of crackers (who will continue to be called "hackers" in the non-geek press no matter what you or I say) as the headline would lead you to believe.
