In our hit-list, we are presenting the 10 most famous people, which can be described as a hacker. They entered either in computer or telephone systems and used these systems according to their own wishes, due to their knowledge and technical skills.

The top 10 Hackers of the world Who Wrote the History:

1. Konrad Zuse

It all started with Konrad Zuse, the very first computer hacker. He might not be in the literal sense, but no hacker could make a difference without his work at all.

Zuse Z3 has developed the first programmable computer in the world. He actually began with the Z1, which he constructed in the living room of his parents and completed in 1938. The Z3 was completed in 1941. Often regarded as the inventor of the modern computer.
2. John “Captain Crunch” Draper

John Draper started hacking computers before they really went up the hill. He implemented the programming language Forth and the first-word processor for Apple computers, called “Easy Writer”.
In the 1970s, Draper worked with hacking techniques and was a pioneer of circumvention of technical barriers. He made the phone – phreaking using the well known Blue Box, so one could make free calls to analog telephones. At that time the system was controlled by analog tone sequences, with which one could also initiate free long distance or international calls. This hacking technique was called “phreaking”. One of the most important tools for phone hacking is a Pennywhistle from the cereal box of Cap’n Crunch.
Draper developed the Blue Box, a device with which one could produce numerous control sounds of telephone companies.
3. Steve Wozniak

Wozniak is a contemporary of John Draper and knew phreaking as well. After Draper published on a computer club meeting the details of his Blue Box, Wozniak built his own version.
Steve Jobs recognized the market potential of the device and the two Steves started their first company. From the sale of Wozniak HP calculators, they gained enough revenue to build the Apple I.
4. Robert Tappan Morris

A graduate student at Cornell University, Robert Morris developed the first computer worm. According to his own statements, he wanted to capture the size of the Internet. After he set the software on November 2, 1988, free, he infected 6,000 computers -which were then about 10 percent of Internet-connected computers.
Due to a programming error, the worm multiplied excessively and made sure that many computers were overloaded. 1989, Morris was the first to be convicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986.
