Thanks for linking to Mudge's article - and for providing a time-line. For completeness - Smashing the stack for fun and profit: http://phrack.org/issues/49/14.html#article http://phrack.org/issues/49/14.html#article And in the same issue: a profile on Mudge!: http://phrack.org/issues/49/4.html#article http://phrack.org/issues/49/4.html#article > We discussed for a long time who in the hacking world today best exemplifies everything that is right with hacking today, and we came up with a unanimous conclusion that it was Mudge. And so we were quite happy that our first choice for the first pro-phile that we have done accepted our invitation. He cracked your Apple warez when you couldn't, he wrote buffer overflows before they were cool, he owned your Sendmail (and probably still does), and he still manages to give more back to the community than anyone else around.
