Slashdot Mirror
Ask Kevin Mitnick
Okay, Kevin Mitnick is getting back online and can start taking email tomorrow, January 21. We've spoken with Kevin by phone, and he agrees that a Slashdot interview is a fine way to help celebrate his return to the Internet, especially since he has a book to sell and a consulting business to build. (Don't forget: Kevin hasn't been able to make much money for a number of years, and has a lot of lost time to make up for.) One question per post, please. We'll email Kevin 10 of the highest-moderated questions, and post his answers shortly after he gets them to us.

This is the thr0d ps1t.
Share and enjoy.
do you like vomitting on toddlers too?
How has the growing popularity of Linux improved computer security? Conversely, how has the continuing success of Windows harmed security as a whole and encouraged hackers?
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
Does it hurt as much as they say it does?

Now that you're out of jail do you plan on getting married? I'm sure there are a lot of us geek chicks out here swooning of the thought of marrying a rebel jailbird ;)
ps: how'd you like them chickens?
Dude, the guy's been in jail. Of COURSE the first thing he did was to browse some pr0n.
Now, the second thing he did with access to the net... that'd be an interesting question.
You cannot apply a technological solution to a sociological problem. (Edwards' Law)
How can this possibly be a serious queston when he never actually destroyed anything?
Here's a clue: when you post something without having any idea of what you are talking about will make you look like a complete idiot.
Let's just say he went in a Tight End and came out a Wide Receiver :)
This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Now that you got all this fame from being a hacker weeny, are you now trying to push books and start a consulting buisness because you finally realized that's where the money is? Did you need to be so distructive just to get that start in life? Frankly, a lepord CAN'T change it's spots and that's how I see this 'snake oil' campain you're on now. The typical /. luser may fall for it and even grovel at your feet, but I'm not biting.
In all honesty, I really do hope you change your ways, and I really do hope you can persuade other hacker weenies from following your path. I'm not holding my breath on preaching to the hacker weenie world tho.
Hi Kevin. I just have one simple question for you:
Did you learn your lesson?
"A terrorist is someone who has a bomb but doesn't have an air force." -William Blum
Do you look like the Goatse guy now?
Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox are hacker icons. Mitnick is just a dumb fool who got caught breaking the law.

How can I trust a "security consulting" company that runs its web site using Micro$oft software?
The site defensivethinking.com is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on Windows 2000.
Seriously, which is better:
a) Ability to get online again
OR...
b) Sex with a mare?
Gank as usual was the first up at bat. After doubling over in laughter at Kevin Mitnick's escape attempt, he went over to the bunk where Wolf and Tommy had him pinned and leaned into his face while running a hand over his smooth ass, "You are gonna get the send-off of a lifetime hacker."
"If I ever get the chance I will kill you." Kevin Mitnick said through clenched teeth as Gank crawled onto the bunk and lowered his prison-issue prison pants, which resembled green pajamas.
"Well then," Gank said I guess we will have to make sure you don't live long enough to make good on that threat.
Kevin Mitnick tried to wrestle free, but Wolf and Tommy were doing a great job of keeping him in place.
"That's it" Gank laughed, "A little movement is good hacker, it keeps things interesting for the guy riding you."
Gank moved his six-foot frame down the boy's body like a muscular spider and with strong, rough hands, pushed his face into the pillow.
His plum-colored cock which was roughly the same circumference as a normal person's forearm was already on its way to full arousal. He wrapped his fist around it and brought the head to the boy's already battered anus without lubrication.
"Stuff something in his mouth," Gank said, "All that moaning and wimpering he'll be doing in a moment is distracting.
Wolf kept one hand on his legs and the with the other, pulled a filthy pair of boxers from the floor. He promptly wedged them in Kevin Mitnick's mouth.
"That's better." Gank purred, gritting his teeth and grunting as he tore the punk's ass open wide.
He pressed his powerful torso into it until every inch of his war-beaten cock was submerged, "Nothing like a little blood to make it all just a little better. Now watch close fella's as I show you how its done. This is
the official Rat Pack going away fuck!"
Gank drew his hips up and slammed back down brutally, while holding Kevin Mitnick's ass and hips down onto the bed with his hands.
Even with his head buried in the pillow and stiff with a soiled pair of boxers, Kevin Mitnick's cries of pain were loud. The initial piecing wail was replaced by a low, repeating moan that seemed to spike each time Gank's head cleared what was left of his anal ring.
Gank's sweat mingled with Kevin Mitnick's as he ground his violent manhood into the boy without mercy. The others watched his hairy ass as it bobbed with each stroke.
Tommy, who was not known for his patience fished his own large cock out of his prison pants and fisted it to erection as he bent in apparently trying to catch a view of the cock actually penetrating that ass.
He was soon at full hardness and openly jerking off to the scene as Gank continued his performance.
"Hey hacker, how does it feel buddy?" he said breathily, "Better me than the niggers though right? Got me a nigger-sized cock though don't I? Yeah I know you can't answer, but that's all right, we all know what you would say. Ahh. Ahhh. AHHHH!" Gank gritted his teeth and flooded Kevin Mitnick's insides. He collapsed on top and then roughly pulled his cock out without warning.
Kevin Mitnick was limp, and probably unconscious. Tommy seemed not to notice as he let his prison pants fall to the ground and hopped on.
Like Gank, he was also built long, but luckily for Kevin Mitnick, not quite as thick. Just as his friend before him, he dove right in, going at full throttle right from the start.
"Did a nice job of opening him up for ya huh Tommy? No don't worry about answering; you can thank me later." He laughed a deep mean laugh, sitting down and lighting a cigarette, "That ass was so good I might go me a second round boys."
Kevin Mitnick had come back to life and was halfway off the bed. The others didn't bother try and hold him as it was apparent that Tommy had the situation under control. Most people wouldn't be able to crawl away from his violent love...
The boxers came loose, but Kevin Mitnick wasn't screaming any more. Only that low moan that vibrated with the slamming told the world that he was even still alive. His eyes had rolled back up into his head and his body was covered in the sweat of a person who had suffered great trauma.
"You keep calling him hacker Gank," Wolf said, "But I never did catch his name."
"Don't know it." Gank said, "We never gave him a chance to tell us."
"Yeah you do," Tommy said, out of breath but not stopping his business or even slowing down." His lanky ass was as hairless as Kevin Mitnick's and currently dimpled from pressing down into the victim, "His name is Kevin Mitnick. Remember?"
"Look at him go." Gank laughed, "like a dog in heat and still has great recall. That's exactly right. Jimmy Ray. How could I forget. He was a Linux kernel hacker who got nabbed hacking cellphones and imprisoning little boys. Probably nailed a few, I reckon."
"When I was 13 I thought that cracking into systems was "kool." Now that I am an adult, I see that once a system has been compromised - even if it's just so that a smart kid can look around - it costs a fortune to be sure that a) the holes are closed, and b) the kid didn't do any damage."
/. get behind him?"
OTOH that kid found a hole you didn't know about, and he did it for free. If you're going to take cost into account, you must take in ALL costs.
"He broke the law. Should we help him "make up for lost time" by helping him profit on his life experiences? I don't think so."
Because when criminals tell there side of what happened it can reveal injustices? Or be a lesson to the next generation?
"Let me give an example. Let's say that I am pro legalization of prostitution. (I'm not)
Before the legislators became "enlightened" on this issue (while it is still illegal) someone is convicted of being a pimp - should I make that person a poster-boy? Should I work to build a "how to be a pimp" consulting business, or promote a "pimping for dummies" book?"
First of all pimping is not a crime, prostitution is.(usually) Of course some of the things some 'pimps' do is illegal. (Don't believe everything hollywood says about pimps). I think many people would find what a pimp does interesting, and might actually buy a book about a pimp.(in fact, there is at least one book on this subject).
Your analogy falls short because Kevin is not selling a book, or starting a business, that tells someone how to 'hack'.
"Kevin broke the law, and did his time. Can't he just get a straight job like the rest of us and move on? Why must he be a hero? Why must
there are many reasons, for me he is an example of how omeone can get unjustly punished for a crime, just bewcause it involves technology.
"Kevin, please get a regular job and live like an ordinary citizen." please define"regular job" and an "ordinary citizen".
"I don't get it. "
we know.
