Edit Profile
Career
Her books and website, called The Happy Hacker, are dedicated to a style known as script kiddie hacking. Some security experts, such as Brian Martin of Attrition, have criticized her writings, claiming that they are inaccurate and generally misrepresent hacking. Meinel has four daughters, one of whom is Valerie Aurora.
In August 1975, Meinel co-founded (with her then-husband, Keith Henson) the L5 Society, since merged into the National Space Society, and was its president for several years.
In 1996 Meinel was among the targets of a high-profile email bomber known as "Unamailer" or "johnny xchaotic".
