There have been inquiries on the source of the "Toad Hop"
material, some from places to which it was forwarded.
As noted on cypherpunks earlier, the material is directly from:
Jonathan Littman, an investigative reporter, has published
"The Fugitive Game: Online With Kevin Mitnick," Little
Brown, 1996. 381 pp. $23.95. ISBN 0-316-52858-7.
It is a dramatic recount of Mitnick's exploits; the pursuit
by Shimomura, Markoff, telcos and Feds; the bust and
Markoff's tales; The Well controversies and disputes about
what really happened; suspicions of Shimomura and Markoff -
their complicity with TLAs, their movie and book
dealings, their disputes with hackers and journalists. What
Mitnick was telling Littman while a fugitive.
