ManTech: October 22

Their is this story about two friends who are very adept in hacking websites and databases. Basically they just hack for fun and to further improve their skills. They have known each other for a long time but they haven't physically seen each other. Their friendship starts at IRC where they exchange information about hacking and cracking softwares. Until one person (forgot the name but all i know that it is Arabic) offer them a job to hack some military files over the net. The price was fairly high so they accept it and eventually get their jobs done. Many months later the same Arabic guy offer them another hacking job. This time it is an airport security procedure files that can be located in their databases online. Again, job well done. Three months later, the Twin Towers in New York was blown down.

This story is just a part in the book "The Art of Intrusion" by Kevin Mitnick where hackers and their exploits are revealed. The real story is a bit indirect to what I have said but if you read the actually story, you will think that there is a connection on how the Twin Towers was blown.
