Personnel from the FBI and Digital Equipment Corporation set up camp at VPA prior to one of our late-night hacking sessions. They placed monitoring software on VPA’s computers that would record everything we did. Lenny was wearing a wire to capture our conversations. That night my target was Leeds University in England. After earlier identifying Neill Clift as one of Digital’s main sources of information about VMS security bugs, I wanted to get into the VMS system in Leeds’s Organic Chemistry Department, where Clift had an account.
