1. 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.
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.
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.

2. 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.

3. Kristina Svechinskaya
Before these chicks THIS was the hottest hacker we all knew and loved.
Kristina Svechinskaya is a New York University student who was arrested on November 2, 2010 for defrauding US and British banks out of millions of dollars -- and you thought your ex was insane.
Along with eight other people, Svechinskaya hacked into thousands of bank accounts and skimmed $3 million in total.
The group had plans to steal a total of $220 million, you know, just enough to get by. Acting as a "money mule," the Russian beauty was charged with opening at least five bank accounts which received $35,000 of the stolen money.
It's no surprise why Svechinskaya is being dubbed the "world's sexiest computer hacker." Her seductive gaze and revealing outfits can melt the firewalls off any server (that's how you say that, right?)
The New York hacker was released on $25,000 bail, though her sentence is still being pushed through the system (which means that hey, $10k in profit.)
If convicted on the plot charges and false passports charges, Svechinskaya can serve up to 40 years in prison, which would really amount to a huge hell of a waste -- but hey, if Mila Kunis gets her Russian accent working, then she may have another Black Swan level movie to star in.

4. Raven Adler
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.
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.
5. 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.)
