These 7 computer freaks are a security breach we'd totally let happen. To us. As men. Hacker chicks have got to be the internet's greatest product. Their mix of intelligence, geekiness and sex appeal is a code nobody wants to crack, and the fact that they play with fire makes them that much hotter. So here are the hottest hacker chicks in internet history along with their stories, what they're good at and a few pics of what they look like.

Ada Lovelace
No hot hackers can be saluted today without paying tribute to the original female hacker in history, Ada Lovelace. The only legitimate child of poet Lord Byron, Lovelace was known as "The Enchantress of Numbers" for her exquisite skill in mathematics. She's credited for creating the world's first computer algorithm after coming up with a method for calculating a sequence of Bernoulli numbers with the Analytic Engine (the earliest form of a computer).
Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. This girl could probably make your typewriter EXPLODE.
Here's a hot picture from her Maxim spread:
Joanna Rutkowska
Joanna Rutkowska may be referred to as a sellout in the hacker world, but she's one really hot sellout and still a completely awesome hacker to boot, so you've got to give her that.
Rutkowska is a Polish babe who specializes in developing software and tools to counter hackers in the webiverse. So she's kind of a protector of the common man against machines, Terminator style.
She's, of course, an elite hacker herself and has launched her own security services startup called Invisible Things Labs (which as far as software goes, actually isn't a bad name.) Even teaming up with the "good guys" at Microsoft, Rutkowska advised vice president of Microsoft's Security Technology Unit on tightening the security on Windows Vista (so yes, we all have something we need to forgive her for.)
But how could you say no to that face!
Kristina Svechinskaya
Ying Cracker
Ying Cracker is an educator from Shanghai that offends white people every time she says her full name if they think she's correcting them.
She teaches people the basics of how to start hacking; things like changing your IP address or wiping Office passwords. So it's really hacking 101, but the fact that she's awesome enough to teach it is awesome. And who doesn't want to learn how to hack from a crazy hot girl?
Although her last name is anything but inconspicuous (it's like a bank vault robber naming himself John Lock-Combination) she's a well-known name in female hacking and has the legs of a model in a flight attendant brochure.
How was she noticed? It was in a "Chinese Hottie Hackers" forum posting that got Cracker noticed by gawkers on the internet and created a huge fan base for her. Her work is impressive as well. She's an expert in hacker software writing and charges good money for courses on simple hacking tools. She also charges between RMB 500-5000 in helping other people crack software and usually makes about RMB 15,000 per month in the hacking business and for that, she deserves your respect.
Xiao Tian
Move over male Asian nerdy computer geeks, female Asian nerdy computer geeks are here to stay.
There's a new tech group in town and God bless them, they're female and smoking hot. Oh, and dangerous.
No, "Cn (China) Girl Security Team" isn't the original name for the latest iteration of Power Rangers, it is a Chinese female hacker group that currently has 2,217 members and counting. It's headed by Xiao Tian (pictured in all her awesomely hot glory to your left), who's only 19 years old and from the looks of it, has something else going for her besides extremely good hacking skills (great fashion sense, duh.)
This kind of brings in a whole new level of suspension of disbelief in the world's events. Apparently, I was wrong my entire life because yes, they exist: super geniuses who are also dream girl status.
After this I'm going to get started on my long, thorough and sincere apology letter to Michael Bay.
Xiao Tian created the now-infamous hacking team because she felt that there was no other outlet for teenage girls like herself in the male-dominated world of hacking.
Girl power, indeed.
Adeanna Cooke
Adeanna Cooke is one former Playboy model you don't want to mess with. That's right, a former Playmate is on this list. Boo yah!
Sure she's taken some naked pictures, but the woman has her dignity intact. A former friend of hers decided to post on the internet as her and also decided to take money for doing so. This did not sit well with her. If anyone was going to be making money off her slamming body, it was going to be her.
When she came across an unauthorized website with her face (and body) on it, she took matters into her own hands and hacked into the account herself to take them down. Bad. Ass.
After finding success in her attempts, Cooke also used her hacking gift to help out others in similar situations, becoming known as the "Hacker Fairy" to other troubled women being taken advantage of on the Internet. See a video of Cooke in action below.
She really sets the example for female hackers because she, like a lot of them, are something called "Hactivists", kind of like in the movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: they're out to be almost cyber vigilantes -- fighting against internet evil at every turn. Worst part about cyber vigilantes in this case is that we don't get the whole spandex treatment.

Raven Adler
One look at Raven Adler and you know she's got some edge. Sure, she's not a Playboy Playmate, but we've all learned from drunken nights and from "growing up" that any really cute goth-looking chicks are not only usually cooler than your run-of-the-mill blonde, but a LOT more exciting where it counts: on the internet.
Raven was the first woman to ever present at the DefCon's hacker conference, but she doesn't plan on using her sex to her advantage any time soon. In fact, she has expressed on many occasions her utter dislike of being cast as a "chick hacker."
She's just a "hacker." The world isn't all about looks guys. Oh wait, this list is... oh, alright. Moving on then...
Today, she continues to design, test and audit hacking detector systems for large federal agencies. She's also trained in the Shorin Ryu Matsumura discipline of martial arts. Just in case you're still not convinced she could literally destroy your entire life. Your. Entire. Life.
Here is a picture of her with a dude who looks just like Uncle Rico.
