Prior to the RTM worm, Spaf had been working in software engineering.

The FTP hole in Spaf's machine was an incredible piece of luck.

Spaf was based at Purdue University, a hotbed of computer security experts.

But Spaf had a separate machine, Uther, which was connected to Medusa.

The problem, Electron finally concluded, was that Spaf's machine was a Sequent.

He wanted Spaf's machine, wanted Deszip, and wanted this attack to work.

Spaf was also one of the founders of usenet, the Internet newsgroups service.

Targeting Spaf therefore served a dual purpose for the Australian hackers.

And Markoff reported that he had been in Spaf's system too!

The smaller of the two main unions, SPAF, said it also rejected the management position.

SPAF has extended its strike to Sept. 24 with an option to prolong it further.

Spaf had megabytes of security files in his directories.

And, at the top of the list, Eugene Spafford, or Spaf, as the hackers called him.

Feeling nervy as the extended silence emanating from Spaf's machine wore on, Phoenix decided to jump.

Spaf's machine just sat there, deaf and dumb.

Gotta try to get into Spaf's machine.
