This is bullshit.
Linus Torvalds is a more well-known hacker, for instance.
Hacking is not only about criminal social engineering practices. Mostly, it's not about that.
- 001spartan 12y agoMore well-known to whom? Most non-technical people I know have never heard of Linus Torvalds, or Linux. Kevin Mitnick is a name that has been in the media in much more prominent positions. As far as the "hacking" vs "cracking" debate, that fight has been lost for many years.
- Retra 12y agoYou really think non-technical people actually know the name Kevin Mitnick? I'm a 'technical person' and this is the first I've ever heard of him.
- 001spartan 12y agoAgain, anecdotal evidence on my part suggests that he's more widely known than Linus Torvalds. I have no solid data to back that up.
