Loyd Blankenship
Loyd Blankenship (a.k.a. The Mentor) (born 1965) has been a well-known American computer hacker and writer since the 1980s, when he was a member of the hacker groups Extasyy Elite and Legion of Doom.
He is the author of The Conscience of a Hacker (Hacker Manifesto), which was written after he was arrested and was published in the underground hacker ezine Phrack. Loyd gave a reading of The Hacker Manifesto and offered [1] additional insight at H2K2.
He also wrote the cyberpunk role-playing sourcebook GURPS Cyberpunk, which, due to his involvement, was confiscated by the U.S. Secret Service. This was not part of the Operation Sundevil raids, but rather came months afterward.
