In 1991, Kevin Mitnick was bouncing back from what was probably the lowest point of his life. He began to rebuild his life: he started working out and lost a hundred pounds, and most importantly - he was finally on the path towards ditching his self-destructive obsession of hacking.

SAS proved to be too great of a temptation for Mitnick, who desperately wanted to wield the power that the testing system could afford him.

It is an immense power that runs through these lines -- a power that can be sabotaged or, in the right hands, weaponized.
