Clifford Paul "Cliff" Stoll (born June 4, 1950) is an American astronomer, author and teacher.
He is best known for his investigation in 1986, while working as a system administrator at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory , that led to the capture of hacker Markus Hess , and for Stoll's subsequent book The Cuckoo's Egg

Early life and education
[ edit ]
Cliff Stoll attended Hutchinson Central Technical High School in Buffalo, New York. He earned a B.S. in Astronomy in 1973 from the University at Buffalo (SUNY) . While studying for his undergraduate degree at SUNY Buffalo, Stoll worked in the university's electronic music laboratory and was mentored by Robert Moog .[3]
He received his PhD from the University of Arizona in 1980.
Career
[ edit ] One of Stoll's Klein bottles
During the 1960s and 1970s, Stoll was assistant chief engineer at WBFO , a public radio station in his hometown of Buffalo, New York .[4]
In 1986, while employed as a systems administrator at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Stoll investigated a tenacious hacker—later identified as KGB recruit Markus Hess —who stole passwords, pirated multiple computer accounts, and attempted to breach US military security. After identifying the intrusion, Stoll set up a honeypot for Hess, eventually tracking him down and passing details to the authorities. It is recognized as one of the first examples of digital forensics . At the time, gaining cooperation from law enforcement was a challenge due to the relatively new nature of the crime.[5] The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage [6] WGBH 's NOVA PBS stations in 1990.[7] [8]
In his 1995 book Silicon Snake Oil [9] Newsweek [10] Boing Boing [11]
Stoll was an eighth-grade physics teacher at Tehiyah Day School, in El Cerrito, California ,[12] [13] MSNBC 's The Site FCC licensed amateur radio operator with the call sign K7TA.[14] Brady Haran 's YouTube channel Numberphile .[15]
Stoll sells blown glass Klein bottles on the internet through his company Acme Klein Bottles.[8] [16] Oakland, California , and accesses it when needed with a homemade miniature robotic forklift .[17] [18] [19]
