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 ;)

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 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.

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. :)

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.

    • Fresh leak suggests OnePlus Pad Lite in the works, key specs revealed

      By Sagar Naresh · Posted

      Fresh leak suggests OnePlus Pad Lite in the works, key specs revealed by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar OnePlus recently unveiled the mid-range OnePlus 13s and the OnePlus Pad 3 Android tablet in India (the tablet is also coming to the U.S.). Now, it appears that the company is working on another tablet, this time, a budget model called the OnePlus Pad Lite. Supposedly, it will be the successor to the OnePlus Pad Go, which launched in the U.K., India, and European countries. According to the leaked images, OnePlus Pad Lite follows the same design elements as earlier OnePlus tablets. The tablet is shown to have a circular camera at the center of the rear panel, with the logo sitting in the middle. The USB-C port and speaker grills are located on the right side frame of the tablet. The alleged OnePlus Pad Lite measures 254.9 x 166.5 x 7.4mm and weighs 539 grams, which is slightly taller, wider, and thinner, but weighs less compared to the OnePlus Pad Go. The tablet, courtesy of 91Mobiles and OnLeaks, is displayed in blue, which could be the only color option. One image shows the tablet with a cover that doubles as a kickstand, but may be sold separately. Gallery: OnePlus Pad Lite Based on the leaked specs, the OnePlus Pad Lite could feature an 11-inch LCD 1920x1080 resolution 90Hz display. It could be powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 processor and paired with the Mali G57 GPU. The tablet may come with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage, with more storage and RAM options available at launch. Reportedly, the OnePlus Pad Lite could feature a 5MP primary camera and a 5MP selfie camera. Under the hood, it could be juiced by a 9,340 mAh battery. On the software side, OnePlus Pad Lite may come with OxygenOS 15.0.1 based on Android 15 out of the box. There is no clarity on which market OnePlus plans to launch the OnePlus Pad Lite in. However, the report suggests that it could be priced under ₹20,000 (roughly $231). Images by 91mobiles x OnLeaks
    • Zen Browser 1.13b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.13b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.

    • LibreOffice closes in on Microsoft Office, leaves Windows 7/8 behind in 25.8 Beta 1

      That is too bad.
    • LibreOffice closes in on Microsoft Office, leaves Windows 7/8 behind in 25.8 Beta 1

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      LibreOffice closes in on Microsoft Office, leaves Windows 7/8 behind in 25.8 Beta 1 by David Uzondu The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 25.8 Beta 1 for public testing on Linux, macOS, and Windows. This is the second pre-release for the 25.8 cycle and the foundation says that the final, stable version of LibreOffice 25.8 is expected to land at the end of August 2025. Starting off with Writer, LibreOffice's Word, the developers have finally addressed some long-standing annoyances, including a new command to easily insert a paragraph break right before a table. This beta also introduces a useful privacy feature in its Auto-Redact tool, letting you strip all images from a document with a single option. To use it, go to Tools and select the Auto-Redact option: The application has improved its ability to handle different languages for punctuation, preventing mix-ups in multilingual documents. Other notable improvements have also been made. A new hyphenation rule lets you choose to prevent a word from splitting at the end of a page, moving the whole line to the next page instead. Microsoft Word has had this feature for years now. The Navigator now displays a handy tooltip with word and character counts for headings and their sub-outlines. Scrolling behavior when selecting text has been improved, making it less erratic. A new command with a keyboard shortcut was added for converting fields into plain text. Calc gets a lot of new functions that bring it closer to its competitors like Excel, including TEXTSPLIT, VSTACK, and WRAPROWS. Impress now properly supports embedded fonts in PPTX files, which should reduce headaches when sharing presentations with PowerPoint users. Alongside these additions, the project is also cleaning house; support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 has been completely dropped. There are also smaller UI tweaks across the suite, like allowing a single click to enter rotation mode for objects in Writer and Calc. macOS users get better integration, with proper support for native full screen mode and new window management features from the Sequoia update. In terms of performance, the team has optimized everything from loading huge DOC files and XLSX spreadsheets with tons of conditional formatting to simply switching between sheets in Calc. These improvements should be noticeable, especially when working with complex documents. A new application-wide "Viewer mode" has also been implemented, which opens all files in a read-only state for quick, safe viewing. On a related note, The Document Foundation has joined efforts by the likes of KDE to encourage Windows 10 users to switch to Linux. Also, you might have heard that Denmark, in a bid to lessen its reliance on Microsoft, has decided to make a full switch to LibreOffice, with plans to begin phasing out Office 365 in certain ministries as early as next month. If you're interested in this release, you can read the full release notes and download the binaries for your platform: Windows, macOS (Intel | Apple Silicon), or Linux (DEB | RPM). You can also get the latest stable version from our software stories page.
