Give and NCL presenting John Draper, Capt’n Crunch: We invite hackers, users,
entrepreneurs and all generally intersted to a technology brunch on Monday, Sep
8, 10.30. John Draper will give a talk and presentation about his recent
engagement in en2go, a media delivery platform backed by Steve Wozniak. I
promise, it will be a real experience meeting this guy!
John DraperJohn Draper was one of the first well known phone hackers, and the
first famous “phone phreak”. A blind friend of John Draper’s named Joe
Engressia informed him that a toy whistle that was, at the time, packaged in
boxes of Capt’n Crunch cereal could emit a tone at precisely 2600 hertz—the
same frequency that was used by AT&T long lines to indicate that a trunk line
was ready and available to route a new call. When the telephone system heard
the whistle it stopped all long distance charges, even though the call
continued until one of the parties hung up. John popularized the use of this
whistle, and became known by the hacker handle “Capt’n Crunch”. John became
infamous, and was arrested in May, 1972 for illegal use of the telephone
company’s system. Since then, he has held a variety of positions and given
interviews on his experiences during the earliest days of long distance hacking.
Right now, John is the CTO of En2go, which is a full-service media company
delivering videos.
