A recently published e-book penned by the self-proclaimed “world's No. 1 hacker” is rocking the security community with back-and-forth allegations of plagiarism, racism, and even threats against a security podcaster and his family.

How to Become the World's No. 1 Hacker is purportedly written by Gregory D. Evans, an animated felon who went on to become CEO of Ligatt Security International, a publicly traded company worth about 0.0002 cent per share that bills itself as a full-service computer security firm.

Released by the obscure Cyber Crime Media publishing house, the 342-page PDF is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for consumers who want to learn how to harden their networks against attackers. Unix security, Wi-Fi cracking, and web service configuration are all covered.

His being a felon doesn't

His being a felon doesn't bother me--it just shows that he knows his stuff as a hacker. If he had no prior run-ins with the law that would mean he could be lying. I think the case is mostly bullshit. From what I hear Evans hired ghostwriters but there was some sort of error with the copyright, anyone can be the victim of this sort of thing, just look at Justin Beiber. Greg Evans has a whole 4chan site dedicated to spamming him. Ligatt Security looks good.
