For those of you who don't know Cliff Stoll, you need to watch this:

Or read some of his books like The Cuckoo's Egg. He was honestly one of the reasons why I got into computers as a kid.

Interesting companion to this is Markoff's "Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier" [1]. One of the stories covered in this book is the same one as in Stoll's Cuckoo's Egg, but from the other side.
