 Woz blesses Captain Crunch's new box | The Register
John Draper, the man better known as legendary phone phreak Captain Crunch, is soon to debut the fruits of recent labors: a box designed to thwart hackers.
Crunch played a pivotal role in the phone underground thirty years ago, and paid for it with two spells in the clink.
Crunch got his name by discovering that a plastic whistle included in a popular breakfast cereal perfectly reproduced the 2600Hz frequency which unlocked the ATandT phone network.

 M station ----->Captain Crunch talks - July 02
Captain Crunch is a legend of the hacker underground and if he isn't the father of Phreaking (hacking the phone system), he's something very close to that.
Needless to say, the phone companies weren't all that pleased with people making free calls and Captain Crunch actually spent a little time in prison as a result of those exploits.
Nowadays, Captain Crunch aka John Draper is involved with computer security and has a thing called the Crunch Box which fends off the hack attacks of today.

 Captain Crunch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Captain Crunch tale starts at the end of the 60’s, when he realized that a whistle offered with the “Cap’n Crunch” cornflakes could actually outwit a digital telephone-console.
In October 1971 the Esquire magazine published an article under the title “The secrets of the small blue box.” In the article the function of the apparatus was being described and Draper was being referred to as its moving spirit.
So, Captain Crunch was arrested by the FBI and convicted to 5 years of penal internment.

In fact, the publication of new discoveries in mathematics continues at an immense rate in hundreds of scientific journals, many of them devoted to mathematics and many devoted to subjects to which mathematics is applied (such as theoretical computer science, physics or quantum mechanics).
Then I should be able to get away with doing either John Draper (Captain Crunch) or Kevin Mitnick (Condor), since they both opened a world of "theoretical computer science".
I'm going to have to sort through a ton of false info for both, but I can't decide who would be more interesting (and maybe baffling) to my stupid math class.

 Hacker History
A.K.A. John Draper, Captain Crunch became the idol of phreakers.
His handle, another element of phreaking culture which would become common among future computer hackers, was derived from his use of a whistle found in Cap'n Crunch cereal which emitted a 2600-cycle tone.
His legendary status has meant that Draper is often the focus of hacking attempts to this day.

 Captain Crunch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Formerly a Phone Phreak, now a dentally-challenged and odorous wreck, John Draper once gained fame (and prison sentences) from his skills in manipulating the telephone system.
His "handle" came from the inclusion of a plastic whistle in Captain Crunch cereal in the 1960's which could, with proper manipulation, send out a control tone that would affect telephone systems of the time.
Of course, Draper didn't actually discover that fact (the honor goes to a blind phone phreak named Joe Engressia) but he was quite happy to not go out of his way to correct people when they claimed he had.
