for the sake of clarity: European arrest warrant was issued therefore Assange decided report to the police on his own will.

I think he could not play this any better. Knowing the rumble that is made around him he would probably be arrested, handcuffed and driven to the police under heavy news reporters assistance (to make it as biggest show as possible)

So has anyone else read the book Julian Assange co-authored with Suelette Dreyfuss titled "Underground" ?
( it is a free read courtesy of Project Gutenberg. )

I found it riviting and insightful.

Underground: Tales of hacking, madness, and obsession on the electronic frontier
Underground: This book describes the exploits of a group of Australian, American, and British black hat hackers during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

  • Craig Bowen (nickname), administrator of two important Australian BBS (Pacific Island and Zen)
  • The Parmaster, an American hacker who avoided capture by the United States Secret Service from July 1989 to November 1991
  • Phoenix, Electron and Nom, who were convicted in the first major Australian trial for computer crimes
  • Pad and Gandalf, the British founders of the notorious 8lgm group
  • the Australian Mendax and Prime Suspect, who managed to penetrate the DDN, NIC and the Nortel internal network, and the phreaker Trax
  • Anthrax, another Australian hacker and phreaker The book also mentions other hackers who had contacts with the protagonists, among them Erik Bloodaxe of the Legion of Doom and Corrupt of the Masters of Deception.

The first chapter of Underground relates the diffusion and reactions of the computer security community to the WANK worm that attacked DEC VMS computers over the DECnet in 1989 and was purportedly coded by a Melbourne hacker. The author made the electronic edition of the book freely available in 2001 at www.underground-book.com. The 2002 documentary In the Realm of the Hackers, directed by Kevin Anderson and centered around Phoenix and Electron, was inspired by this book.


The rumor mill has it that Julian Assange was one of the characters ( Mendax ), but I have not been able to confirm that.
