I first learned about Stoll about fifteen years ago when a screenshot of his prediction that the Internet would never be widely used was being dunked on. I wanted to see who this guy was everyone was dog piling on.
He may have gotten that one wrong, but he’s a huge figure in cybersecurity. His book The Cuckoo’s Egg is a must read for those interesting in early Internet.
The legendary Cliff Stoll gave a delightful talk at DEFCON on Stalking The Wily Hacker (40 Years Later) at DEFCON. It's now online. If you've never seen Cliff, a Klein Bottle, or an overhead projector before, rush over to the youtubes and fix that right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=656058JxTM0
