Check this out if you want to. The CBC's (Canadian Broadcasting Company) investigative documentary program the 5TH Estate takes a deep look into the world of hackers/crackers/script writers, and so on. Best to have a fast internet connection if possible and have Realplayer loaded to view it. There is part 1, part 2 and part 3 to click on in the lower left corner of the webpage.
