[TUHS] "hacker caught" paper

[Steve Simon]

I am trying to find a paper. It was written at Bell Labs,
I thought by Bill Cheswick (though I cannot find it in his name),
entitled something like:

	"A hacker caught, and examined"

A description of how a hacker got into Bell labs, and was quarintined on
a single workstation whilst the staff watched what they did.

Does this ring any bells? Anyone have a link?

I know about the Cuckoo's egg, but this was a paper, in troff and -ms macros
as I remember, not a book.

Thanks,

-Steve

I remember the story and reading about it; maybe it was even one of
the CSTRs. So you're not imagining things.

Ches?

Egg on my face (and keyboard): (1) I failed to send this to the list;
and (2) I already have both editions.

Apologies, all, especially to Alec.

I got a chill up my spine as I hit the section where it mentioned the 
username "adrian".

Then I realized that the timeframe was off. I was out of the hacker 
business a few years before that.

But the name "adrian" reminds me of something I can't put my finger on. 
Oh well.
