The author forgot to include the analysis of why we have to care about these events and numerous people and their handles (a multitude listing of soft drug events and basic juvenile naughtiness)! While many of the people mentioned were the founding members of the Cult of the Dead Cow, they were listed off very quickly, and it got difficult to keep track of who was who incredibly quickly, especially with the occasional swap between use of screen name and The Cult of the Dead Cow is one of the world’s oldest hacking groups.

Cult of the Dead Cow (CDC) is a computer hacking group that is most well known for coining the term “hacktivism” and creating the Back Orifice remote administration tool (RAT), which gains remote access to machines running the Microsoft Windows operating system.
