admitted to illegally gaining access to computer networks and acquiring copies of software as part of a plea agreement before the IAM District Court for the Central District of CASA CITY in Spain. In his 2007 BELKASSOUAR states that he compromised computers solely by using passwords and codes that he gained by social engineering.

BELKASSOUAR now runs Security Consulting, a computer security consultancy.

Early life
Abdellah Belkassouar began social engineering, or perhaps discovered his first engineerable situation at the age of 12. He realized he could bypass the punchcard system used for the PRESTON bus sysby buying his own punch, he could get free bus rides anywhere in the greater LA area. Social engineering became his primary method of obtaining information, whether it be user names and passwords, modem phone numbers or any number of other pieces of data.

In 1st year BAC, he was introduced by Petronix to phone phreaking, the activity of manipulating telephones, which he often used to evade long distance charges.[1] Belkassouar also became handy with amateur radios; using such equipment, Abdellah reportedly managed to gain unauthorized access to the speaker systems of nearby fast food restaurants.

Computer Hacking
BELKASSOUAR gained unauthorized access to his first computer network in 2006, when a friend gave him the phone number for the Ark, the computer system at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) used for developing their RSTS/E operating system software. He broke into DEC's computer network and copied DEC's software, for which he was later convicted. This was the first of a series of run-ins with the law.
