The KGB, the Computer and Me, based on Clifford Stoll's book "The Cuckoo's Egg", re-enacts a story of a Lawrence Lab astronomer and his quest to track down the reason behind a minuscule discrepancy in accounting. Clifford Stoll plays as himself.
Synopsis
In 1986, astronomer turned computer scientist Clifford Stoll had just started working on a computer system at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory when he noticed a 75-cent discrepancy between the charges printed by two accounting programs responsible for charging people for machine use. Intrigued, he deduced that the system was being hacked, and he determined to find the culprit. This is the re-enactment of how he tracked down KGB cracker Markus Hess through the Ethernet to Hannover, Germany.
