History of Hacking (3-5)

During the 1970's, the phone phreaks or phone hackers appeared: they learned ways to hack the telephonic system and make phone calls for free.

John Draper built a 'blue box' that could do this and the Esquire magazine published an article on how to build them. Fascinated by this discovery, two kids, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, decided to sell these blue boxes, starting a business friendship which resulted in the founding of Apple.

Getting their laughs and skills from hacking and cracking into primitive computers and exploiting the Arpanet (predecessor to the internet), they created a novelty that would become the target of federal crackdown in years to come.

You can almost see Steve Jobs in his turtleneck ninja-suit in the old photos.

Wow, I wonder if Bill Gates had known that some of those "Thieves" were going to end up being his biggest competitors, If he'd have done things differently.

LOL. Imagine waking up and hearing, "FBI, I have a warrant for your arrest" at 1.30 am. Pretty scary!
