My Argument Is Not That I Shouldn't

I'm Still A Hacker. I Get Paid For It Now. I Never Received Any Monetary Gain From The Hacking I Did Before. The Main Difference In What I Do Now Compared To What I Did Then Is That I Now Do It With Authorization.

Companies Spend Millions Of Dollars On Firewalls And Secure Access Devices, And It's Money Wasted Because None Of These Measures Address The Weakest Link In The Security Chain: The People Who Use, Administer And Operate Computer Systems

I Get Hired By Companies To Hack Into Their Systems And Break Into Their Physical Facilities To Find Security Holes. Our Success Rate Is 100%; We've Always Found A Hole.

My Actions Constituted Pure Hacking That Resulted In Relatively Trivial Expenses For The Companies Involved, Despite The Government's False Claims.

I Think It Goes Back To My High School Days. In Computer Class, The First Assignment Was To Write A Program To Print The First 100 Fibonacci Numbers. Instead, I Wrote A Program That Would Steal Passwords Of Students. My Teacher Gave Me An A.
