      #1

      I grew up as an only child. I was hyperactive as a child, which made it hard for me to sit still. I was good at sports as a kid, but my passion began when I was ten. I became interested in magic when I saw how audiences of one or three found delight in being deceived.

      #2

      I was already interested in radio circuits and ham radio regulations, and I learned how the phone system worked. I wanted to learn everything about how the phone company worked. I wanted to master its inner workings.

      #3

      I began exploring the bus system around Los Angeles, memorizing the routes so I could travel to different places. I made friends with a boy named Richard Williams, who was obese and spent his days riding the buses for free. I adopted his eating habits and grew fat.

      #4

      I had a bar mitzvah at age 13, and received many gifts that included US Treasury bonds. I was an avid reader, and spent many weekends at a bookstore called the Survival Bookstore in North Hollywood, studying books on how to get information.

      #5

      I was always doing unexpected things at Monroe High School, and I was always fascinated by the people around me. I became friends with one student, who showed me how he could manipulate the phone network and make free phone calls.

      #6

      I had picked up just about everything Steven was willing to share about phone phreaking by the time I was in high school, and I was spending most of my free time exploring the telecommunications networks and learning on my own.

      #7

      I would call a technician in the appropriate central office, and have the call-forwarding feature added to the manager’s line. I would then call Non-Pub and have the call forwarded to me, so that I could give the person whatever information they were looking for.

      #8

      I started teaching myself about computers, and within a few weeks I had written a program to steal people’s passwords. I would secretly record the users’ usernames and passwords when they logged in.

      #9

      I was eventually caught red-handed by the campus police, and my privileges were revoked. But I wasn’t put off by the threat. I found a way to divert calls to Directory Assistance from people in Rhode Island, so the calls would come to me instead.

      #10

      I met Lewis, a hacker, through a friend. We became friends, and I learned how to modify a two-meter radio so we could make our voices come out of the speaker where customers placed their orders at the drive-through of a fast-food restaurant. We’d head over to a McDonald’s and watch the action from a distance.

      #11

      I had a rule not to enter any phone company facilities, but I was sure to break that rule occasionally. I would sneak into the phone company in person, and it was the ultimate hack.

      #12

      I had to be at the telephone company facility in the
