Hey, all you “old-skoolerz”, don’t generalize.
I feel for you.

I wish I had a mentor… a real mentor… but I’d probably end up teaching him stuff…

Nowadays, there is so much you would have to learn about everything related to the net, sploitz, and everything, single people don’t have the time or energy to innovate. Still, I try. Cracking and exploiting is soon going to turn into just another conglomerate industry, with companies competing for who can first come up with a crack so that they get paid for discovering security flaws. The people in the companies won’t be true hackers-no, no, no. They’re going to be those methodolical college trained security experts. No brain power. They do the job because they think it’s easy. They think it’s easy cash.

I HATE IT.

Please. Regroup mighty hackers. You did miss out on a lot. But now… you must show the “nephews” who the true boss is. I know you can master this age too. Don’t get all defensive. It is scary. But it’s possible. And I’m willing to learn and teach with you. How do you find me? Good question.

That would be your first assignment.

Read books.
Stop spam.

[...] To give you an idea of what does well on which sites, I will use my articles as example. This article about a simple Windows XP hack that my friend wrote did amazingly well on Digg and Reddit. They happened to both hit the homepage at the same time, which resulted in my site being down for an entire day. Simple cool tricks like this tend to do well on a lot of Digg-like sites. On Fark however, it did not get approved simply because it wasn’t funny in any way. This story was another big hit. It reached the homepage of Digg to later get buried (guess Diggers don’t like stuff like this) but did extremely well on Fark generating upwards of 6000 unique clicks. [...]

Ahh… BBS’s I’m older school though and can remember back when we had to hand swap warez – when the 300bps modems came out, many of my friends could get ‘em because of the money they saved on software.

Phreaking was fun too… I remember coding $5.00 in qtones and my buddy’s phone # into a song in FastTracker, but only on the left channel. Wrote a techno tune in the right and taped it. Then walked up to a pay phone wearing my walkman, rewound the song, switched the headphones to mono, and played it into the mouthpiece. Good times.

Big shout out to all the underground ‘zines and Mr. John Draper! Blow that whistle @ 2600, man!

Memory lane, man. I remember being involved in or using everything but #2. Well, a friend built me a tone dialer from Rat Shack in 97, but that was it. But yeah… godawful warez sites with 40-50 parts made to fit on floppies, private rooms on AOL, and IRC for everything. I remember getting a 75 gig HD my junior year of college, and filling it up in a month with the most inane crap. Good times.
