Lost Hacking Documentary Surfaces on Pirate Bay
It's narrated by Kevin Spacey,
and talks allot to Adrian Lamo

Anyway, it is really well done~
and they go into some stuff I've not seen in any other hacker docu. before.
Check it out~
Unreleased until recently I guess. lol
Oh, also directed by Sam Bozzo~
so feel good about getting the torrent! :lolflag: lol
After collecting cobwebs in a studio vault for the better part of a decade, an unreleased documentary on the 2003 hacking scene leaked onto the Pirate Bay Thursday.
Narrated by actor Kevin Spacey, the 90-minute Hackers Wanted follows the exploits of Adrian Lamo, who pleaded guilty in 2004 to cracking the internal network of The New York Times. The film was produced by Spacey’s Trigger Street production company, and includes interviews with Kevin Rose and Steve Wozniak.
Lamo says the film had been bogged down by conflicts among the producers and crew. “It’s ironic that a film about overcoming barriers, about new technologies, about thinking differently, had to come to the public eye by being hacked out of the hands of people who, after making a film about the free flow of information, tried to lock away that information forever,” says Lamo. “The truth tends to itself.”
Lamo adds that he had nothing to do with the leak.
Lamo made his mark early in the decade with a string of brazen hacks against large companies, characterized by a flair and sense of humor that appear quaint in today’s era of for-profit hacking and multi-million credit card theft.
In 2001, when he was 20, the hacker snuck into an unprotected content-management tool at Yahoo’s news site to tinker with a Reuters story, adding a made-up quote by then-Attorney General John Ashcroft. Lamo went on to stage other hacks, alerting the press to each one and often working with the hacked company to close the security holes he exploited. His targets included Microsoft, Excite@Home, Worldcom and The New York Times, which pressed charges.
Unemployed and prone to wander the country by Greyhound, Lamo gained the appellation “the Homeless Hacker.” When he surrendered to face charges for the Times hack, the Trigger Street camera crew was in tow. He was ultimately sentenced to six months home confinement at his parents’ house and two years of probation.

Hackers Wanted
This film explores the origin of true hackers vs. today's computer criminals
by following the adventures of Adrian Lamo and other well-intentioned hackers,
who found security holes and pointed them out so they might be fixed, only to
eventually be arrested. Commonly thought of as computer criminals and vandals,
a true hacker is an innovative thinker able to "hack" himself out of a given
problem or situation, whether it be computer related or not. Historically,
hackers have accounted for mankind's greatest inventions and discoveries and
yet have repeatedly been persecuted for their new ideas by the powerful and
fearful. Experts on cyber-terrorism also examine our societal view of the hacker
and debate as to whether or not we should recruit and utilize the skills of the
helpful hackers to fight future cyber-wars, instead of continuing to punish what
we do not understand.
