Mafiaboy: A Portrait of the Hacker as a Young Man ReviewHackers hack because hacking is both fun and also a challenge to them. Hackers spend every waking moment in front of two to three flat panel displays and a keyboard searching, probing, exploring, looking for ways to get into systems and leave their mark much like a dog leaves its mark in a new neighborhood.
This book tells the tales of an unknown hacker in 2000 that brought down the websites of Amazon, CNN, Dell, E-TRADE, eBay, IBM, Oracle, Lego's, Disneyland, Fredrick's of Hollywood, Yahoo! and many more. Panic ensued from Silicon Valley to the White House to people that had to tune into the Fox network of all places (fair and balanced) since the CNN site was d o w n . The FBI, police, and independent security experts (read...former hackers that joined the good side...) launched a manhunt as President Clinton convened a cyber security summit to discuss how best to protect America's information infrastructure from future attacks. Mr. Mattonski's email account was hacked and fake emails were sent to his family and friends stating that he was switching jobs to work for Safeway when in fact he was very happy at Starbucks! After thousands of hours of wiretapping the cops and other law enforcement officials lightly knocked on Mafiaboy's home door to execute a late-night raid and came face-to-face with the most wanted man (really boy) in cyberspace. At the time he was a fifteen-year-old whose username was "Mafiaboyzzz." Despite requests from every major media outlet, that young man, Michael Calce, has never spoken publicly about his crimes--until now. Not even to CNN, but did say yes to Fox (fair and balanced) but pulled out at the last minute.
Mafiaboyzzz has penned this true-crime thrilla that is both electrifying and fast paced. He puts us directly into the mind / gray matter of a hacker to the point that if you knew how to code you could hack to so don't even try.
Mafiaboyzza has served his time and wrote this book during his prison time (poor engrish).
This is an outstanding book and you too should buy it and learn about hacking and smacking and Mafiaboyzza. You will be happy you did!
