i am always surprised by how little attention this carefully research history of the australian hacking scene has received over the years. dreyfus manages to present a technically deep yet down to earth recollection that feels like a page-turner.

it’s impressive seeing a teenager turn a breadbox c64 into a MILnet penetration tool.
