The Untold Story of John Draper, the Hacker Who Inspired Apple's Founders

blottsie writes: This new profile on John Draper, aka Captain Crunch, dives into Draper's history as one of the original "phone phreaks" and how his creation helped inspire Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who gave a rare interview for the profile.

“Over time, I liked seeing Draper every few months to hear more about these unbelievable phone tricks that they could turn into movies one day,” Wozniak tells the Daily Dot. “Jobs started avoiding Crunch, however, afraid that it would put us too close to getting arrested. And Jobs didn’t have a feeling for what I saw as good, the exciting and entertaining knowledge that Draper had of ways to do impossible things.”
