How dare you equate some Russian hacker to the vice commander in chief of the US! You're obviously obsessed and infatuated with these foreign hackers, well beyond reasonable belief.
Oh boohoo. I'm equating popularity. Anyone ignorant of our politics would not know who Dick Cheney is. Anyone ignorant of 'nix network security would not know who this hacker is (a white-hat, BTW, in case you know what that means).

I'm obsessed with talent, no matter where in the world it shows.
In a room with people knowledgeable in the area, mentioning "open source network mapper" would have most of them guessing what you mean. Saying "Russian hacker named after a famouse Russian author" would have the rest. Any others should just switch professions, because they're incompetent.
