well, I'm 31 now, but when I was 16 I had the phedz visit my house for

some pentagon and nasa antics revolved around tymnet and telenet.

I think telenet was later renamed sprintnet.

Anyone remember those networks?

And btw this is in America. My tag says Australia cuz that's where I live

now and not because of those incidents ;)

I was suspended from school after an incident with a bbc micro, these days I make a living understanding PC's and networks in a business enviroment.

If I wore a hat it would be grey, but anyway, this is interesting reading...

The Hacker Manifesto

The Mentor's Last Words

Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three- piece psychology and 1950's techno brain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have moulded him? I am a hacker, enter my world.

Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... Damn underachiever. They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school or college. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and think it shouldn't be here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.

And then it happened... a door opened to a world...rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetence's is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike...we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak...the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but they are like drops of water in the desert.

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin colour, without nationality, without religious bias...and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

The Mentor

the oxygen group has always prided itself at being

White Hat Hackers.

I'd say that our creation of a white virus is our success as being the first group in the world to create a script that

actually searches out other viruses on pc's and removes them but spreads itself like a virus.

(later seen as a 'disinfectant' for HPC)

Anybody who does anything to 'harm' someone else should not be supported.

Then again, if it werent for them, MS wouldn't be releasing SP2 would they lol.

your only a hacker if your told you are one

and hackers dont use 'sub7' or script kiddy stuff like that. but i belive the real term your looking for is Crackers, hackers hack hardware and what not, crackers crack windows and make the virii, the press just calls them hackers because thats what the masses know the crackers as

No, I'm not but unfortunetely people think I am just because I got into a teacher's computer through the school network and gave some failing people and a few close friends a copy of the final exam. I have gotten into a couple of email accounts of students and teachers but I never read/change their stuff or anything (why the fcuk would I care who writes what to them :rolleyes:) and just send them an email to themselves using their account telling them to change their password and security questions asap and what to do to ensure it doesn't happen again. :)

oh daer, hes going to DDoS me :o phwoar, dont click that button

i would be impressed if you actually wrote the network clients and servers that performed the DDoS (its really not that hard)

on another note, a friend of a friend of a friend of mine got admin privlages (key logger) and found a few porno videos and pictures on a teachers shared drive

he got suspended for selling the videos to other students :p

Get things straight.

Hackers are the good guys of the internet, they find the exploits ( Security holes ) and alert the system administrator. But due to the media changing this image people look at hackers as they are horrible geeks who do damage. WRONG

Crackers are the ones who do damage !

I am a x-cracker, i was a very bad boy when i was younger ;)

There is also script kiddies who ARE NOT hackers they use hackers scripts to try and ' hack ' or ' crack ; into a persons computer.

well i just dd**ed someone.... dont want the fbi looking this up :ninja:

uh huh i am sure you did ;)

With how many DOS command prompts open with ping -l going ! HAHA your a script kiddie.

By the way have you heard of TGS Security group? They have over 20 million Denial of Service bots, i would keep your mouth shut unless you want me to post your email onto there forum and get it ****** over.

Stop being a noob smp, capish?

    • It is good that it can be removed. Those users who want it can use it, and those users who do not want it can remove it.
    • Yeah, but I can't blame people given the way things are nowadays with inflated prices that used to be reasonable not all that long ago. but I would not even attempt to offer someone $30 for a 8TB SSD (I know that was just a example of people trying to really low-ball someone though) as trying to undercut the normal-ish price a decent amount is one thing but that much I would not even attempt to offer someone on Ebay etc. but on the flip side... I think some people want more than stuff is worth at times and even when you offer them something reasonable they might take it as a insult etc. but usually these types tend to be a bit more unreasonable/unrealistic with their pricing. I get people don't want to give their stuff away, but at the same time some try to squeeze every last penny out of stuff to. there needs to be some sort of balance there as a guideline. but even when it comes to prices on random stuff... it can be difficult to determine what's roughly fair/reasonable as a happy medium where both sides feel like they did at least okay on the deal. but just off the top of my head buying expensive used stuff, especially stuff that might be more prone to failure (instead of being quite unlikely to fail), I might try to dodge or want a cheaper than usual price to even risk it etc. but I guess I could probably speak for many when it comes to a gaming PC in that a person wants the cheapest possible price for something that's good enough as this tends to be roughly the sweet-spot of $ spent vs real world performance where it really matters. because it's generally not worth paying hundreds extra or more for something that's not significantly better than a more reasonably priced gaming PC that tends to be good enough as I figure once you get a setup that can do roughly 1080p @ 60fps with high enough graphics (or in this ball park either way), the gains past that tend not to be worth spending hundreds of dollars more when that money could be saved and ones current computer (the one that does 1080p @ 60fps with high enough graphics etc) will easily last years (probably 3-5 years for a conservative figure) before they genuinely need a upgrade and the saved hundreds of dollars could be put towards another build at some point in the future. I never understood people who want to build a "better PC" when their current one is still clearly on the faster side of things and still runs pretty much everything more than well enough as you are pretty much just wasting money for something that's not that much better for the vast majority of tasks. like as a ball park when it comes to GPU's, to use NVIDIA as a example... right now I suspect a solid Geforce 20 series GPU is no where near needing a true upgrade as I would say more worthwhile upgrades are more seriously worth considering for people on the Geforce 10 series or older GPU's at the moment as I would probably use that as where the line is roughly drawn if you have to split stuff up into 'current enough' vs 'older' standards (even though I realize say a strong Geforce 10 GPU is still more than solid enough for many). basically, short of a few specialized use situations etc, most people don't need anywhere near high end PC's, even from a gaming perspective since 30fps being playable and 60fps is pretty much perfect have been standards around for decades now as these are the ones that truly matter the most from a general real world gaming perspective. the 120fps+, while might help a bit, is still largely excess luxury in that it's just not worth the extra money unless prices are fairly close as if you got to pay hundreds of dollars more for it, overall most people are better off with the 'slower' setup. p.s. hell, I am still on a i5-3550 CPU (which is 2012 CPU tech) with a NVIDIA 1050 Ti 4GB (which is 2016 GPU tech) and while if I upgraded today I would get a worthwhile difference, but in all honesty the main reason I hold off, besides prices nowadays being a bit inflated, is what games I do play tend to work anywhere from playable (30fps) to perfect-ish (60fps) and I am of the mindset I have a feeling my current GPU etc is more reliable than modern GPU's etc which is another reason I am in no rush to upgrade. I suspect ill eventually be forced into upgrading, but baring major hardware failure out of no where, ill likely be on my current setup for years to come at a minimum. say the rest of this decade, possibly further, especially given while I might play a semi-recent game here and there I am usually replaying games that stand the test of time from the past etc.
    • I have only two Play Anywhere titles from all games I own, and Game Pass doesn't include DLCs. I know it's shocking, but I like to buy premium editions of games I've really liked on Game Pass. I have Ultimate and I've already checked what I can play on PC when I upgraded my laptop to a new one with Nvidia 4070 half a year ago - not much so I haven't even bothered.
    • I hate to break it to you, but if you have the Copilot app installed and up-to-date, you have this. Your computer doesn't need to be a Copilot+ PC to use this, any x86-64 CPU without NPU will do. Also, you don't have to use it, it's not enabled the whole time. Even if you open the Copilot app, you must manually enable Vision on the desired opened windows, it doesn't work by itself. But if you're worried, just remove the Copilot app. Problem solved.
