	L0pht Information
		L0pht Heavy Industries (pronounced "loft") was a famous hacker collective located in the Boston, Massachusetts area between 1992 and 2000.
		Some of the founding members of the L0pht shared a common loft apartment space in Boston, from where they inter-connected and experimented with their own personal computers as well as equipment purchased from the Flea at MIT, and items garnished from dumpster diving local places of interest.
		The L0pht was founded in 1992 as a location for its members to store their computer hardware and work on various projects.

		L0pht wowed the committee by reeling off an alarming list of security holes in public and private systems.
		Perhaps because of their ties to the fl-hat community, L0pht members refuse to be identified, although they will let themselves be photographed.
		L0pht members have become, as Mudge notes wryly, "rock stars of the computer underground." That they help malicious hackers as well as the Feds and big business hasn't hurt their popularity among the outlaws.

	cDc #374: The L0pht Hurrah
		The L0pht is both a workshop in Boston and the collective name of the hackers who made it famous.
		The L0pht was launched at the end of the BBS scene and with the birth of the Web.
		The L0pht would then publish their findings, usually as L0pht Advisories [formal white papers]; detailing the minutiae of poor code formations that screamed for correction.

		The L0pht maximized Tan's ability to implement new and exciting ideas by pooling his resources with the resources of 6 other enthusiasts who share equivalent 'knowledge space' but have different specialized areas of knowledge and resources themselves.
		Through the L0pht John Tan would like to see influence in industry and government as well as the media for sending a clear, consistent message to all parties as to where we as an electronic society are and where we need to go.
		The L0pht recommends that a plan to implement Authentication in Law Enforcement (National and State agencies) and National Infrastructure Communications system be employed in dispatch communications to prevent the transmission of unauthorized commands over the radio channel, while encryption should continue to be used to protect sensitive tactical operations.

	From CSOonline.com: L0pht in Transition
		And for several years, the L0pht was just a place for Oblivion and his friends to hang out after work and store their growing collection of computing equipment.
		The L0pht was not the first group of hackers to offer professional services or tools, but even in the giddy late 1990s, hackers still had an unsavory reputation.
		The L0pht, then, are all now unquestionably legitimate, and their evolution serves as a metaphor for the security business, which is now mainstream.

		The names used by L0pht members in the interview are to protect their identities.
		So we started building miniature networks, ripping down protocols, playing with software, and the other thing was it kept us out of trouble because before that, a lot of us used to play with other people's hardware and protocols, and whoever's machines would talk to us, and that's kind of how the loft grew out.
		Two years after that, we moved over to this location, so L0pht, spelled L-Zero-P-H-T, was just a takeoff on the hackerish type spelling of loft, which is what we started out in.

		In the bulletin, Micro$oft gives shouts to Dildog at L0pht, who brought the flaw to their attention.

		Mudge is part of L0pht, an eight-member group based outside of Boston.
		L0pht - pronounced "loft" and spelled with a zero instead of a letter "o" - describes itself as something of a Ralph Nader for the information age.
		Part of the impetus for the report came when, "after the Senate testimony we provided on problems with critical infrastructure components, there were several electric companies that stood up and said 'that's impossible...blah, blah, blah'," Mudge wrote.

		Whether or not any L0pht member ever worked on the wrong side of the law is a question @Stake executives like to leave vague.
		While Mudge explicitly states that no L0pht members have ever broken the law, he is described in company literature as a "grey-hat hacker" -- that is, neither a good guy nor a bad guy.
		In addition to the credibility L0pht has built up, @Stake has attracted technologists who have earned their stripes in the tamer side of the computer industry.

	Q&A with Chris Wysopal (Weld Pond) \| Linux Journal
		During those years, the L0pht earned worldwide notoriety plus the ire of Microsoft for discovering and publicizing a number of software vulnerabilities, especially in Windows.
		Combined with the success of their password-auditing tool, L0phtCrack (which, besides exposing poorly chosen passwords also demonstrated inherent weaknesses in early Windows NT authentication implementations), the L0pht's relentless exposure of poor security programming played a significant role in Microsoft's slow but pronounced improvement in addressing security flaws in their products.
		Chris, along with many of his former L0pht colleagues, now works for the consulting firm @stake, with whom L0pht Heavy Industries merged in January 2000.

Despite its antifraud efforts, the wireless industry has yet to deal with information disseminated over the Internet, said one source at a fraud solutions vendor.
