Kevin Mitnick Speaks at Hacker Conference

I found an amazing collection of audio files from The Fifth Hope hacker's conference sponsored by 2600 Magazine. Kevin Mitnick is the first keynote speaker, a hacker legend. He tells his amazing story to the crowd that includes running from the FBI to multiple cities with several fake identities. At one point they're tracking his cellphone and a military helicopter is on his tail. When he turns the phone off, the helicopter hovers in one place. When he turns it back on, it moves directly towards him! Eventually he is caught, thrown in jail for 10 years, and his case set many precedents. Go listen to his story here, and if that floats your boat there are dozens of other speakers' audio files from that conference, including Steve Wozniak and Jello Biafra as keynote speakers for the following days.
