Question 1
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
His stepfather, described him as "a very sharp kid" with "a keen sense of right and wrong". "He always stood up for the underdog,... he was always very angry about people ganging up on other people."At the age of 18 he began hacking under the name "Mendax" (derived from a phrase of Horace: "splendide mendax", or "nobly untruthful"). He and two other hackers joined to form a group which they named the International Subversives. He wrote down the early rules of the subculture: "Don’t damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them); don’t change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks); and share information".In 1993, Mr X involved in starting one of the first public internet service providers in his home country, Suburbia Public Access Network. In 1995, wrote Strobe, the first free and open source port scanner. He helped to write the book Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the electronic frontier (1997), which credits him as a researcher and reports his history with International Subversives.
