|
scene. lame. 1997.
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have read past issues, you have probably noticed a good
|
|
amount of hacker references in various files, as well as files dedicated
|
|
to hacker thinking. The obvious conclusion that can be derived is that
|
|
some of the writers are hackers of some sort. For a few of us, it started
|
|
out as a hobby and moved to a career. Even working in the information
|
|
security field, we keep our ties to the hacker community for various
|
|
reasons. For friends, trading information, keeping apprised of recent
|
|
happenings, or just for the feeling of comraderie. That's all beside
|
|
the point.
|
|
I wrote about the scene a few years back in file #140, and
|
|
told my thoughts on what it was like. So here is another file about
|
|
the same 'scene', about two years later. As with all societies, some
|
|
things change. Overall feelings, attitudes, mindsets, actions, reasons,
|
|
justifications.. they are all subject to change. One of the major
|
|
differences you will notice is the transition from BBSs to the
|
|
Internet. This move to an international network has opened up new
|
|
worlds for hackers everywhere. Not only do they have new stomping
|
|
grounds, but new ways to share information. FTP sites with exploits
|
|
and information on hacking, Web sites with links to more information,
|
|
mail lists for the exchange of new methods to hack.
|
|
|
|
Despite this incredible wealth of information, this freedom
|
|
to a vast region of knowledge, the hackers of today continue to be
|
|
fucking morons. Of course, there is a small percentage out there that
|
|
are exempt from this flamerant. On the downside, that number is
|
|
growing smaller and smaller every day.
|
|
You hear less and less about hackers getting busted, and more
|
|
and more about warez kids and AOL chimps getting popped for lame shit.
|
|
Carding AOL accounts, running warez sites off government systems,
|
|
or other foolish things. A few articles deal with people who were
|
|
hacking for the pure thrill of it, but they seem to be scarce.
|
|
|
|
Many of the bigger names out there have a single claim to fame
|
|
right now, and that is a decent web page. There are a handful of
|
|
decent web pages that make information available, and a few thousand
|
|
that link to them. Other pages link to the pages that link to the
|
|
good sites, while more sites link to those that link.... you get
|
|
the picture. It took over one hour to find a simple script that exploits
|
|
a flaw in the SunOS RPC program, written over five years ago. I finally
|
|
found it on an FTP site out there. Not a single web page had this
|
|
simple script. These 'hackers' seem to care more about design and
|
|
reputation than sharing of information.
|
|
As the years past have been, today is riddled with hacker wars,
|
|
petty bickering, the desire to "one up" others, or to be counter productive
|
|
in some way. My hopes and wishes for a somewhat unified scene have long
|
|
since vanished. The desire to be in a group must be strong; small temporary
|
|
alliances with people you half trust, or in some cases are good friends
|
|
with. Sometimes steady collaboration between these groups, projects of
|
|
mutual interest. The amount of good groups out there can probably be counted
|
|
on two hands.
|
|
|
|
I keep myself logged into IRC 24/7 these days, simply because
|
|
I maintain a dedicated connection. My script logs messages so that friends
|
|
can reach me outside of email. I am not active more than an hour a day
|
|
typically, and while I am at my computer I flip over frequently to check
|
|
for certain people on. Despite that, some losers insist that I live on
|
|
IRC even though I usually have a few pages of "are you there?" messages.
|
|
Wannabe hackers from around the world message me for help. Some don't
|
|
get a response and flood me for not helping them, oblivious to the
|
|
possibility of me being away from keyboard.
|
|
I have pages and pages of completely stupid things people have
|
|
asked me on IRC. Stuff that goes to new levels of stupidity and further
|
|
annoy me. I can't comprehend how these clueless fucks fancy themselves
|
|
hackers when they can't use a simple search engine to find the answers
|
|
to their basic questions. Can't begin to understand how they want to
|
|
become hackers without having basic common sense. There has always been
|
|
a debate as to whether or not more experienced hackers should help
|
|
the newer folks. I used to think it was worth my time to help people
|
|
like them, but as time passes I just get more fed up with their inane
|
|
shit.
|
|
|
|
Why did I ever feel a responsibility for helping anyone?
|
|
Because it is better than the clueless newbies trying to help. You have
|
|
media whores like Carolyn Meinel trying to teach people to hack, writing
|
|
guides to hacking full of fuckups. Telling these people what to do, but
|
|
not giving them enough information to adequately protect themselves.
|
|
People like her want to make money off the hacker scene, not help it.
|
|
Don't believe me? I can show you her own email that says exactly that,
|
|
that time is money and she will only put a minimum amount of effort
|
|
into it. Lame whore. You get all this media attention, and then screw
|
|
the pooch and turn it into bad press. Good job.
|
|
To the few good hackers remaining out there.. the really good
|
|
ones. Keep it up. Very few people may know about you and what you do,
|
|
or maybe you are so secretive no one knows. Doesn't matter, keep up
|
|
what you are doing. Use your skills for a good purpose. Keep shutting
|
|
down spammers, keep showing up supposed security experts who barely
|
|
have a clue. While you continue this, stay hidden. Don't come out
|
|
of your various levels of secrecy, you will only find a world of wannabe
|
|
hackers that can't even gather information about a system, let alone
|
|
hack it.
|
|
|
|
And for you lamers who will try to call me elitist because of
|
|
this rant, fuck off. I didn't place myself anywhere in the file. I don't
|
|
give a shit what you think of me. I know I am better than a lot, and
|
|
not even halfway to the level some are. Fuck spending my time helping
|
|
the new lamers, I am going to go back to reading and trying to learn
|
|
from the best. Longer idle times on IRC, longer delays in answering
|
|
mail. After years of helping, it has produced nothing for me. None of
|
|
the people I have helped have surpassed me and turned to help me. Sad,
|
|
because a few of them have surpassed me.
|
|
Either way, I will continue to voice my opinion on mail lists
|
|
and other forums. If you want to help others, just make sure you aren't
|
|
passing on wrong information or you will see people like me come out
|
|
of nowhere to correct you, and I guarantee, I won't be nice about it.
|
|
If I bother to give a shit that day.
