There is no need to discuss about it, of course, that one is  Kevin Mitnick

[jokecoffin]

Totaly agree!!

[i_eat_snails]

Gummo, probably.

Kevin Mitnick is very overrated imo because back then security was shit, he was just the OG

There are probably a lot more talented hackers arrested in the last 5 years

I agree with you but i think the best group was anonymous just because they were primarily known for their various attacks against several governments, government institutions and government agencies

nigga anonymous doesn't even exist what are you talking about XD

they did exist their first iteration at least
since then they became a brand that everyone leeched

[jokecoffin]

I like Kevin Poulsen as well by the way

[Onkyo]

The one no one knows about, not even an online handle, who never got caught and has retired with all previous links totally severed.

Since everybody is quoting big names, I'm going to go for one nobody mentioned.

Fitgirl. She cracks Denuvo games, sometimes hyperfocuses for weeks just to crack one stupid game. From what I heard, it's an absolutely mind-boggling amount of extremely complex and frustrating work that pays so little the scene dried up years ago, but Fitgirl seem to have that challenge mentality and just keeps on going.

I pay for my games unless the game do not have a demo in which case, hey, I'm not a kid anymore that's going to buy just from the damn jacket, ahahah. I'll pirate it a give it a test.

And unless it's a DRM-free GOG game, Fitgirl's the only one that's currently doing the good work.

Kevin Mitnick might have done cool pioneering stuff back in the day, but Fitgirl is one that affects people's lives positively today.

Crackers indeed deserve a massive shoutout. I really don't care about those numerous crypto heists, no matter how many zeroes they steal. Crackers allow poor people across the world to use always-online overpriced software like Adobe, people like me who are discerning consumers and want to try before a buy, or kids with no pocket money to have a crack at games that they would otherwise not play until they have reached adulthood.

Crackers are absolutely my favorite "good guys" of the hacking world.
