If you send him $10 cash in the mail with a self-addressed stamped envelope, he will send you back one of his business cards, which is a lock pick set. One of my most prized possessions.

One of my former co-workers had one of those business cards as our company had used Mitnick Security to evaluate our processes. I can confirm it's a really cool business card.

I also have that business card and also it is a prized possession haha. I met him at The Last HOPE in nyc about 10 years ago ( it wasn’t the last hope in the end) and got one there. Almost lost it at airport security once so I keep it at home now.

  >Almost lost it at airport security once so I keep it at home now. You can bring tools under a certain size through the TSA. "What's this?" "My lock pick set" "Why do you have lockpicks in your bag?" "For work. They're not sharp." And with that, after a brief eyebrow raise, I was on my way. (Though I got the sense they thought I was with the men in black or something, but hey, uh -- be the change you wanna see in the world.)

  I met him briefly years ago at CES, it was like meeting a childhood hero. I confess I was really excited..

    The one time I met him he told me to go fuck myself. (I was taping his talk, pro bono for the con, and asked him to speak into the mic for a sound check since we'd had issues with the previous speaker.)

      But did he say that into the mic?

        No.

$10 is way too much for something so average.

  Indeed, I would expect something quite precious for ten big ones.

  I disagree. If you're a fan of Mitnick, or know a lot of his story, I think it's a perfectly reasonable fee. It costs money to make them, they are metal by the way. You can either meet him in person, pay for his services, or buy a business card. I love it.
