@Viss @kajer I firmly maintain that the estate of Kurt Vonnegut should be suing the shit out of Anthropic over the Claude logo, which is clearly a derivative work of his illustration of a butthole from the book Breakfast of Champions.

@kajer @cyberquixote @cR0w In programming class (VB6)? No.

That would be highly unethical and I was a fucking perfect angel of a teen with too much knowledge and too little sense. (or care, because I was BORED?)

...allegedly

[nosirrahsec@infosec.exchange]

@kajer @cyberquixote @cR0w Do you know how legitimately difficult it was to find clean versions of backdoors and other various tools back then?

I mean, I imagine it was very difficult and caused a lot of headaches and intermittent footgunning.

[kajer@infosec.exchange]

@cyberquixote @cR0w @NosirrahSec

hah!

NetBus ~1998
BackOrifice ~1998

The school library was a battleground between myself using BackOrifice and another nerd using Netbus to remotely install and manage our respective distributed.net clients...

lol computer crimes

[cyberquixote@infosec.exchange]

@kajer @cR0w @NosirrahSec yeah computers are a crime

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@cR0w @kajer All hail KJ.

@kajer @cyberquixote @cR0w My absolute most treasured memory with my now-deceased brother is when I popped open the CD-rom tray on his PC in the library from math class and he opened notepad, typed out "fuck off, Josh."

I didn't know it was Jack. I didn't know the target other than the hostname/IP.

He knew there was little chance anyone else was hacking around the network in our tiny school other than me.

I was terrified someone was on to me, like out of a fucking trashy 90s movie about hacking; but it was just poor opsec as always

He didn't let me know that was him for fucking weeks.

Devious little prick lol

[nosirrahsec@infosec.exchange]

@kajer @cyberquixote @cR0w hahahahahah are you me? I mean, allegedly anyways. I've heard a lot about myself from my hometown over the years.

[jjdavis@infosec.exchange]

@kajer Oh my giddy aunt.

[kajer@infosec.exchange]

@Netraven @cR0w one of the few that remember he had a name.

[nosirrahsec@infosec.exchange]

@kajer @cyberquixote @cR0w "why the fuck does my install keep getting popped? this school doesn't have IT!"

It never occurred to me that someone else in the school was a nerd like me.

I still don't know who was doing it to this day. We were nuking each others' installs and trying to hide them.

I forgot about this all until this thread and it's like someone just opened up a door to the 90s and jerked off into my brain.

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@kajer @cR0w I remember his power tool videos on pornhub.

[cyberquixote@infosec.exchange]

@NosirrahSec @kajer @cR0w i just helped my friends install halo on the college lab machines
