It was thus said that the Great Cini, Richard once stated:
Hello, all:
While flipping through PC Magazine this morning, I noticed the
following quote on page 26 of the 10/15/02 issue:
"You might expect highly technical security advice from Kevin
Mitnick, whose alleged 1982 hack into NORAD inspired the movie War Games."
This is the first time I've seen this reference. Is this true?
I belive that both Kevin Mitnick *and* the producers of War Games both
deny this. The producers did, however, create the concept of ``war
dialing'' from which we now get ``war driving'' (which is searching for
open
wireless access points by driving down the street with your laptop and a
wireless network card).

station nearby ... )
