[codergeeks] Assange on the Cypherpunks mailing list

[Gregory Foster]

A film adaptation of Suelette Dreyfus' text was created called "In the 
Realm of the Hackers" (2002).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1199631/

Dreyfus appears throughout the dramatized documentary, which focuses on 
the life of the Australian hacker known as "Electron" during the late 
80's and early 90's.  My understanding is this is the same time period 
Assange was active in the Australian underground scene; he is formally 
credited as a Technical Consultant on the film.

Here's a source for the film I've confirmed is active & seeded:

P.S. - If anyone doubts Assange's hacker pedigree, grok this:
