The top ten hackers in the world refer to the top computer experts in the world, including Linus, Wozniak, ken Thompson and so on. The word hacker comes from the English word hacker, which originally refers to computer experts, especially programmers, who are obsessed with computer technology and have a high level. In the early days, it was well-known in the American computer industry. But in media reports, the word hacker often refers to those "software crackers".

1, Kevin Mitnick is known as the "number one computer hacker" in the world.

In fact, his technology may not be the best among hackers, and even quite a few hackers don't like him, thinking that he is an attacker who only uses attacks but doesn't understand technology, but his legendary experience of hacking is enough to shock the world and make all network security personnel lose face.

Major achievements: He was the first hacker who appeared on the poster of the FBI and offered a reward for his capture. Minnick, 15 years old, broke into the computer host of "North American Air Defense Command System". He and some other friends rummaged through all the data of nuclear warheads pointed by the United States to the former Soviet Union and its allies, and then slipped out quietly.

2. Dennis Ritchie Dennis Ritchie? The father of C language and Unix (multi-user computer operating system). Born on September 9th, 194 1, Ph.D. in Mathematics, Harvard University. Dennis m. Ritchie? Bell Laboratories of Lucent Technologies (formerly AT & amp； T laboratory) is the director of system software research department of computer science research center.

1978, Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie published the masterpiece C Programming Language, which was translated into many languages and became one of the most authoritative textbooks of C language.

3.Linus Torvalds is the most famous computer programmer and hacker in the world today. Inventor of Linux kernel and collaborator of this project. Torvalds used his personal time and equipment to create one of the most popular operating system kernels in the world today. Free software has developed from an industrial thought movement to a market business movement, which has changed the face of the software industry and even the IT industry.

4. robert tappan morrisgeek, the chief scientist of National Computer Security Center (affiliated to NSA) and the son of high flyers of Cornell University, dramatically spread the network worm virus during his first job in 1988, and the word "hacker" began to be given a specific meaning in English. In this accident, thousands of computers were affected and some computers crashed. It is he who really "hacked" hackers.

5. 197 1 year, Kapoor graduated from Yale university. At school, he specializes in psychology, linguistics and computer science. It was then that he became interested in computers. He went on to graduate school for further study. In the 1960s, dropping out of school was the choice of many people.

Kapoor is the true embodiment of the concept of hacking in Silicon Valley: opposing the company, not following the mainstream spirit, being creative and advocating origin. Gates is the embodiment of modern hackers, in sharp contrast with Kapoor. Gates is an antichrist portrait, highly utilitarian, very WTO-oriented and pursuing interests. His company also succeeded in suppressing freedom and producing ugly, clumsy and purely business-driven products.
