The world needs to know hackers aren't always bad ;) If anyone else can recommend any material feel free to do so. Thanks a million Pantagruel!

For one of my classes I want to write a report on what exactly computer hacking is, what is happening with it today (groups, what they are doing, general modern hacker profile), and the history of it. As for material I have begun reading some books from the library (including Mitnick's books). If anyone could recommend any more material it would be much appreciated.

Although to get into a modem that doesn't broadcast its SSID seems like more questionable cracking ;) @DaCapn

Good point. Although to get into a modem that doesn’t broadcast its SSID seems like more questionable cracking ;)

I don't see it here now... Netstumbler is a passive sniffer. Active sniffers like kismet are able to do things like discover APs that don't broadcast their SSID.

I may be way out of line here, but I think Germany has lost a lot of the organisation 'lets do it the right way' , hard work ethic it was once famous for - but then they have the workers council which is just a world of pain to deal with. (I don't actually know the reason, but i would guess that the german work law is soo difficult that's why Walmart never made a profit till the day they pulled out of Germany) Obvisouly this is an outsiders view - German readers will have a far more informed opinion that little old me who visits on business every couple of months.

True, I recently bought me a Mac Mini and it was quite a pain to find a supported wireless network dongle (got one through Ebay). Haven’t spend too much time playing with it.
