Yeah well, that's where people are wrong. He is far from genius. He used off-the-shelf remote admin software to get into the NASA machines (they had blank admin passwords). His method was really incredibly silly, in my opinion.

That's genius? Any decent Perl developer is likely to be capable of that. Sorry, I would prefer to use words where they actually apply. He is not a genius.
Using the remote admin was stupid. Someone even saw him moving the mouse around. It's probably the main reason he got caught.
