For the last 10 years, the long-haired, soft-spoken Russian has been running a school, or perhaps more accurately a dojo, for hacking in Moscow. He trains his students in computer skills that run the gamut from assembly language and networking right on through to cracking programs and virus writing. They're trained in "hacker ethics" -- don't harm people, don't misuse the skills -- and can gain the equivalents of white and black belts, though in this case bracelets are substituted.
