Aktion 23 Fnorum

Where can I get good English language information on Karl Koch. Preferably on his personal life, personality, likes dislikes etc.

Second best- what awesome good German language sources written by people close to Koch that might co-operate with Google Translate?

I'm using a translation of the the auto-generated subtitles here (holy fuck, living in the future!) so I want to make sure I get this right; guy at 4:16 tells us Koch's sister was a heroin addict and he'd had multiple suicide attempts in his youth? And his grandmother also died of cancer?

oh ou should speak with the CCC (Chaos Computer Club). Koch was the founder of Leitstelle511 which still exists.
Or watch the Movie "23 – Nichts ist so wie es scheint" but i dont know if it has an english subtitel. Koch himself used tons of Speed and was paranoid . This is was the most people say about Koch. I dont know if this right.

Some informations about Koch can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Koch_%28hacker%29 but i think you have this already read.

His Mother dies of cancer and the grandmother moved in and was mistreated by the father of Karl.

Koch's sister was a heroin addict and he'd had multiple suicide attempts in his youth?

right

Thanks!

So he founded Leitstelle511? Is this the Hannover chapter of the CCC? And is there another source on that?

Some great quotes from the book Approaching Zero (1993).

"Another more intriguing theory is that the back door was built by the National Security Agency for its own use, though this presupposes that the NSA is in the business of spying on computer users.Yet some people do suppose precisely that. In their view it is a myth that the NSA is interested in protecting computer security. Instead, it may be actively engaged in penetrating computers or more bluntly, hacking--all over the world by exploiting back doors that only the agency knows about."
