1.Introduction

My  name  is  Geoffrey  S. Goodfellow.  

I am primarily employed by the Computer Science Laboratory at SRI International, Menlo Park, California.  
For the past 10 years at SRI, I have been involved in research efforts related with packet switched computer 
network communication  systems, protocols  and  security technologies. 
I have also been involved in various operating and sub-system development projects.  

Currently, my responsibilities include a position as Principle Investigator of SRI's involvement in a Department of Defense 
program aimed at developing and proving secure computer systems, that operate at different security levels and communicate 
via networks.  
A detailed biography of my career from 7th grade school where I discovered computers (which eventually lead to my permanent 
abandonment 
of the formal educational system during high school) 
to how I got to where I am today with no degrees or any type of equivalency to my name is included at the end of my 
testimony.

I am a coauthor of the Hacker's Dictionary -- A Guide to the World of Computer Wizards, a new book being published this 
fall.

THE STATEMENTS INCLUDED HEREIN ARE MY OWN  AND  DO  NOT  NECESSARILY  
REPRESENT THOSE OF SRI INTERNATIONAL OR ANY CLIENTS OF SRI.


 2. The Nature of Computer Hackers and Hacking.

The primary nature of a computer hacker can be defined as follows:

   - A  person  who  enjoys  learning  or  knowing the details of computer systems and how to stretch their capabilities,  
as  opposed  to  most users  of  computers,  who  prefer  to learn or know only the minimum amount necessary in order to get their job 
done.

   - One who programs computers enthusiastically, for the sheer fun of it, and gets a non professional amount of enjoyment 
out of using them.

   - A person capable of appreciating the irony  and  beauty  (i.e.`hack value') of a program.

   - A  person  who  is  good  at programming quickly or is an expert on aparticular program.  
    (This definition and  the  proceeding ones are correlated, and people who fit them congregate).

Unfortunately, though, hacking has an unsavory faction to it:

   - A  malicious  or  inquisitive  meddler  (i.e. `poacher') who tries to discover information by poking around.For  
example, a "password hacker"  is one who tries, possibly by deceptive or illegal means, to discover other people's computer passwords.  

   - A "network hacker" is one  who  tries to learn about the computer network (possibly 
     because he wants to interfere--one can tell the difference only  by context, tone of voice and manner of approach).
