Famous Hackers Past and Present (Gallery) 2
2. John Draper (AKA Captain Crunch, Crunch, or Cruncherman)
John Draper is often seen as a legend from the early days of hacking. His expertise was phreaking -- he used a toy whistle (and later, other custom-built devices) to emulate signal tones that effectively hacked AT&T's phone system into rerouting phone calls around the world for no charge.The original whistle was found inside a box of Cap'n Crunch cereal, hence the name. In 1971, several months after the publication of an article in Esquire Magazine on phone phreaking, Draper was arrested for wire fraud. Steve Wozniak, of Apple fame, noticed the article and hired Draper at Apple Computer. Draper went on to write the first word processing application for the Apple II computer. Draper is still a software developer today and he hosts an Internet TV show, Crunch TV.
