Is this the book about the mentally challenged cracker ?
There is a recent book about a very determined cracker that
was mentally challenged (slightly?). He brute-forced, by rote,
kept hitting and hitting some targets until he got in. It is
supposed to be quite interesting reading.
Anyone to give a mini-review ?

Anyone else read this book, @Large? Really good book on a bunch of the hacking
incidents in the early 90's.
I don't usually recommend any particular security books, but this one should be
added to your collection,
next to the Cuckoo's Egg.
This book skipped a lot of the ego-hype found in many of the other hacker books
and provides a fast pace story
with a lot of recognizable organizations and names for anyone who has been in
the security field for awhile.
