been found when in fact the substance was something
dentists use: DENTURE MOLD (the owner of the house was a dentist).

The Secret Service specifically complained about his affiliation with
2600 Magazine (not a secret and not a reason to label someone a criminal).

The Secret Service is apparently unaware that 2600 magazine is the
world's preeminent above-ground hacker zine, subscribed to by members
of security departments all over Wall Street (at the least).

It is filled with fascinating information, highly useful for securing
one's systems. Here's a random sample factoid from 2600: although
on-site company switches are commonly programmed to block '900' number
calls, there is a hole in the programming logic that always lets '555'
exchange numbers through. ("Information wants to be free") Companies
that advertise 900 numbers take advantage of this.

For example, even though you can't dial most 900 numbers, you can
still call numbers like USA Today's 1-900-555-5555, which are
specifically chosen to get around the 900 programming restrictions.

Oh yeah: I remember another one that triggered firm-wide security
checks: 2600 described a hole in DOS that could allow others to
execute commands on your system by virtue of defining function
key contents (F1, F2..) on the fly AND THEN EXECUTING THEM.
