Read more about people who have
discovered better living... through (mostly) Harmless Hacking
From what I have been downloading, reading, & trying (with
permission) via the Happy Hacker site - I have been able to make
the ADP security officer's hair get more gray & thin out
considerably. My life has been much more fun and it's all ya'lls
fault.

Hi Carolyn:
On my last job prior to retiring, I ran across your site while
doing some research on the Internet. I was completing an analysis
on Y2K. Was "C" Programmer and Senior Systems Analyst.
I am pleased with your overall effort and the materials you
have prepared and have provided regarding the hacking end of
the business. Prior to my last job, I had never had the time
nor taken the time with repect to pc, pc network, or internet
security. When faced with writing an overal report regarding
a new intranet system design, I was able to get a FAST education
in an area not touched by me before. This provided an insight
which was most helpful in dealing with security issues.
I love the site man!!!!!!!! Never4 have I cracked up when
I read a poem, and realized......ohhhh
sh** that would be me!!!!! Well heres a mountian dew to you man!!!!!

happy to talk to the media about the value of this web site,
phone Carolyn Meinel at 505-281-9675 to get his contact information.)
Ms. Meinel,
I would like to send you my personnel thanks for your excellent
article in Scientific America. As the locally designated "expert"(just
so you know, that means I can spell Security) I find my hardest
task to be convincing management of the threat and the methodology
hackers use. To this point, your article provided an outstanding
read and a perfect source for educating
my management.
On a more personnel note, I also wanted to thank you for such
an outstanding and educational web site. I find myself constantly
coming back because your site has the best compilation of readable
learning material on the Internet.
Honestly, I don't mean this to be a love-fest :-)... I often
find myself on the receiving end of all of your hard work and
I feel at a minimum I owe you a pat on the back.
My name is Mohammed, I am 21 and work for a company called
***** in South Africa. I am fairly computer literate but have
no knowledge of hacking. The reason for that is because I could
never find a site like yours. Oh, I did find the anarchists cookbook,
but I am not a destructive person, more a technologist and take
a keen interest in knowing what many others don't. I have been
told that only geniuses can become hackers etc. but now I can
see that it is just a matter of having the correct instructions
and a person like yourself to teach it. I have been to many institutions
for product training (MCSE etc.) but none of the lecturers came
close to what you have just taught me. This is the sort of knowledge
I have been looking for.
