Kevin David Mitnick (born August 6, 1963) is an American computer security consultant, author and hacker. In 1999, he was convicted of various computer and communications-related crimes. At the time of his arrest, he was the most-wanted computer criminal in the United States.[1] He now runs a security firm named Mitnick Security Consulting, LLC that helps test a company's security strengths and weaknesses, and is the Chief Hacking Officer of security awareness training company KnowBe4. Mitnick is an active advisory board member at Zimperium,[2] a mobile defense firm that develops a mobile intrusion prevention system.[3]

Mitnick grew up in Los Angeles and attended James Monroe High School.[4] He was enrolled at Los Angeles Pierce College and USC.[4] For a time, he worked as a receptionist for Stephen S. Wise Temple.[4]
Computer hacking

At age 15, Mitnick used social engineering to bypass the punch card system used in the Los Angeles bus system. After a friendly bus driver told him where he could buy his own ticket punch, he could ride any bus in the greater LA area using unused transfer slips he found in the trash. Social engineering became his primary method of obtaining information, including user-names and passwords and modem phone numbers.[5]

Mitnick first gained unauthorized access to a computer network in 1979, at 16, when a friend gave him the phone number for the Ark, the computer system Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) used for developing their RSTS/E operating system software. He broke into DEC's computer network and copied their software, a crime he was charged with and convicted of in 1988. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Near the end of his supervised release, Mitnick hacked into Pacific Bell voice mail computers. After a warrant was issued for his arrest, Mitnick fled, becoming a fugitive for two and a half years.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Mitnick gained unauthorized access to dozens of computer networks while he was a fugitive. He used cloned cellular phones to hide his location and, among other things, copied valuable proprietary software from some of the country's largest cellular telephone and computer companies. Mitnick also intercepted and stole computer passwords, altered computer networks, and broke into and read private e-mail. Mitnick was apprehended on February 15, 1995, in Raleigh, North Carolina.[6] He was found with cloned cellular phones, more than 100 clone cellular phone codes, and multiple pieces of false identification.[7]
Arrest, conviction, and incarceration
Supporters from 2600 Magazine distributed "Free Kevin" bumper stickers.

After a well-publicized pursuit, the FBI arrested Mitnick on February 15, 1995, at his apartment in Raleigh, North Carolina, on federal offenses related to a 2½-year period of computer hacking.[8]

In 1999, Mitnick confessed to four counts of wire fraud, two counts of computer fraud and one count of illegally intercepting a wire communication, as part of a plea agreement before the United States District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles. He was sentenced to 46 months in prison plus 22 months for violating the terms of his 1989 supervised release sentence for computer fraud. He admitted to violating the terms of supervised release by hacking into PacBell voicemail and other systems and to associating with known computer hackers, in this case co-defendant Lewis De Payne.[citation needed]

Mitnick served five years in prison—four and a half years pre-trial and eight months in solitary confinement—because, according to Mitnick, law enforcement officials convinced a judge that he had the ability to "start a nuclear war by whistling into a pay phone",[9] meaning that law enforcement told the judge that he could somehow dial into the NORAD modem via a payphone from prison and communicate with the modem by whistling to launch nuclear missiles.[10] He was released on January 21, 2000. During his supervised release, which ended on January 21, 2003, he was initially forbidden to use any communications technology other than a landline telephone. Mitnick fought this decision in court, eventually winning a ruling in his favor, allowing him to access the Internet. Under the plea deal, Mitnick was also prohibited from profiting from films or books based on his criminal activity for seven years, under a special judicial Son of Sam law variation. Mitnick now runs Mitnick Security Consulting LLC, a computer security consultancy.
Controversy

Mitnick's criminal activities, arrest, and trial, along with the associated journalism, were all controversial. Though Mitnick has been convicted of copying software unlawfully and possession of several forged identification documents, his supporters argue that his punishment was excessive. In his 2002 book, The Art of Deception, Mitnick states that he compromised computers solely by using passwords and codes that he gained by social engineering. He claims he did not use software programs or hacking tools for cracking passwords or otherwise exploiting computer or phone security.

Two books explored the allegations: John Markoff and Tsutomu Shimomura's Takedown, and Jonathan Littman's The Fugitive Game. Littman made four main allegations: Journalistic impropriety by Markoff, who had covered the case for the New York Times, based on rumor and government claims, while never interviewing Mitnick himself; Overzealous prosecution of Mitnick by the government; Mainstream media over-hyping Mitnick's actual crimes; Shimomura's involvement in the matter being unclear or of dubious legality.

Further controversy came over the release of the movie based on the book by John Markoff and Tsutomu Shimomura, with Littman alleging that portions of the film were taken from his book without permission. In addition, a number of media outlets reported on the unavailability of Kosher meals at the prison where he was incarcerated.[11]

The case against Mitnick tested the new laws that had been enacted for dealing with computer crime, and it raised public awareness of security involving networked computers. The controversy remains, however, and the Mitnick story is often cited today as an example of the influence that mainstream newspapers can have on the law enforcement personnel.[citation needed]

Supporters of Mitnick have asserted that many of the charges against him were fraudulent[12] and not based on actual losses.[13]
Media
Adrian Lamo, Kevin Mitnick, and Kevin Poulsen (photo ca. 2001)

In 2000, Skeet Ulrich and Russell Wong portrayed Kevin Mitnick and Tsutomu Shimomura in the movie Track Down (known as Take Down outside the USA), which was based on the book Takedown by John Markoff and Tsutomu Shimomura. The DVD was released in September 2004.[14] A documentary named Freedom Downtime was produced by 2600: The Hacker Quarterly in response to Takedown.

Mitnick is the co-author, with William L. Simon, of two computer security books and his autobiography:

The Art of Deception[15]
The Art of Intrusion: The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders & Deceivers[16] Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World's Most Wanted Hacker[17]

On August 18, 2011, Mitnick appeared on The Colbert Report to talk about his new book.[18] On August 23, Mitnick was interviewed on Coast to Coast AM during the episode "Hacking & Technology".[19] On August 24, he appeared on the TWiT.tv network's Triangulation episode.[20]

On September 12, 2011, Mitnick answered readers' questions on the technology news site Slashdot.[21] This was the second time he was interviewed on Slashdot, the first time being in February 2003.[22]
Pop culture references
Video games

Mitnick is referenced in one of the in-game emails of the videogame Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

In the Rockstar video game Grand Theft Auto III, on the in-game Chatterbox radio station, a paranoid caller yells "FREE KEVIN" before he is cut off by the DJ.

In the Rockstar video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, on the in-game WCTR radio station, the same paranoid caller says he could "launch a nuclear attack by whistling into a phone", a clear reference to the charges thrown against Mitnick prior to incarceration.

In the 2004 video game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines a character named Mitnick provides optional hacking-related quests.

In the Telltale Game Sam & Max Save the World, Max makes an off-hand comment, "Why can't we find an obscure criminal... like Kevin Mitnick!"
Graphic novels

The 2012 graphic novel Wizzywig by Ed Piskor is a close allusion to the story of Mitnick, with the main character's name replaced with Kevin Phenicle. The novel parallels the entire story of Mitnick under the codename "Boingthump", from his early days of phone phreaking, to his exploits in hacking into companies, through to his eventual arrest and "Free Kevin" campaign, with many of the details of Mitnick's story kept intact.
TV

In "2πR", the tenth episode of the second season of TV series Person of Interest, Mitnick is mentioned by a computer teacher.[23]

In the sixth episode of the second season of the anime Black Lagoon, the Lagoon company's resident hacker, Benny, claims after cracking a code, "I'm as great as Kevin Mitnick".

Diploma and Degree Comparison

...There is a difference in getting a degree than applying for a job with only a high school diploma. The typical work life is from the ages of 24-64. Some people consider school to be boring, not entertaining and a waste of time. In the end there are useful benefits that can come from graduating from college. Not only can you make more money it will also set an example for friends and relatives. Recent studies show that someone that has a high school diploma is three times likely to live in poverty or on some kind of government assistance. College graduates are 2-1/2 times as likely to vote as those who haven’t finished high school. Also those with more education are more likely to exercise than those with less of an education. Half of high school graduates have employer-provided health insurance or pension plans but almost 70 percent of college graduates do. The key to making a decent living is having an education. High school graduates make about 180 dollars more a week than a high school dropout. Employees tend to offer permanent positions quicker to them than work contractors. Getting a high school diploma proves that the student is determined and ready to take advantage of an opportunity. It also prepares the student for work habits and prepares them to build career skills. College can be intimidating, the work seems impossible and parties are endless. Obtaining a degree will help broaden your career choices. It also changes the way of thinking and helps you make more...

...1, What makes a good role model and how would I ensure that I acted as a role model for employees I supervise? I think a good role model is the person who leads from front line that is where the action is, they are visible, known and approachable. They set the example and actively, through their own behavioural attributes, support and the concepts of reliability, consistency, trust and adherence to ethical principles. If they want open minded and flexible employees, they need to be flexible and open minded themselves. I think the best thing employees like to have in a supervisor is the ability to show empathy toward employees and recognition for sure. Recognizing the employees keep them motivated and enthusiastic towards achieving new goals. 2, what are the traits of an effective leader? Do I have these traits? How would I develop the traits?

How Does the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Promote Learning?

...How does the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme promote learning? The International Baccalaureate Diploma programme was established to provide ‘the educational needs of globally mobile students’ (IBO 2012 p.3), allowing them to gain a recognised qualification to allow them access to further education in universities around the world. Beyond these very broad objectives the initial programme was based on three fundamental principles, which outlined the IB’s approach to learning: * to provide a broad education, establishing the basic knowledge and critical thinking skill * to develop international understanding and citizenship * to provide choice within a balanced curriculum to allow the students interests to be fulfilled (ibid). The aim as Peterson has suggested was to not to just provide a place for the ‘acquisition of general knowledge, but the development of the general powers of the mind to operate in a variety of ways of thinking’ (IBO 2012 p.4). This is expressed further in the IB’s Mission Statement which states its desire to create a better world through education, which it claims can best, be achieved through international-mindedness. It adds to this by stating that ‘the International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect (ibid). As with the other programmes, the PYP and MYP, the DP ‘promotes the education...

Value of an Education

...that experience is more valuable than a college degree. Several studies show how much more a person can average on salary a year with a higher education. Unless you want to make minimum wage for the rest of your life college education can be valuable now more than ever before to having better opportunities in life. The Boston Globe stated on February 21, 2014 that “Young adults with just a high-school diploma earned 62 percent of the typical salary of college graduates. That’s down from 81 percent in 1965, the earliest year for which comparable data are available.” Showing that as the years progress, college education has been more valuable to more so now than ever before. How much you earn can impact your ability to support and provide for a family. Providing for a family of 5 might be harder to care for without the extra income a college degree would bring in. Though a college education may seem too expensive, the cost of living without one may end up costing you more in the future. High school diplomas are not as valuable alone as they once were 30 to 40 years ago. Our economy is now based upon the importance of knowledge and education. The work industry provides college educated men and women with better options and opportunities to succeed. Having a higher education doesn’t lose its value once you have started your career but in the future open up opportunities to promotion and higher salaries. Being...
