Hacking involves a different way of looking at problems that no one's thought of.

I get hired by companies to hack into their systems and break into their physical facilities to find security holes. Our success rate is 100%; we've always found a hole.

A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things.

I get hired to hack into computers now and sometimes it's actually easier than it was years ago.

My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure.

It is a fairly open secret that almost all systems can be hacked, somehow. It is a less spoken of secret that such hacking has actually gone quite mainstream.

That was the division in the hacking world: There were people who were exploring it and the people who were trying to make money from it. And, generally, you stayed away from anyone who was trying to make money from it.

Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business.

It always seemed much better to be a writer - a Real Writer - than a successful hack.

Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why I win.
