Well here we are almost 26 years later. Hackerzlair made their first page on
Oct 10 1996. Back then the page would get 10,000 hits a month. People would
come in the channel on Dalnet with trojans on their machines and we would sit there
checking as people came in. Spending a lot of time just helping them remove the
trojan. It all started with "back orifice". They made their server icon a
"blank.ico" and many put it on their machine trying to figure out how to use it ;)
Everyone wanted to be a hacker back then and most had no idea what
that means. To this day most don't know the difference between a "hacker"
and "cracker".
Listed on this domain, if one goes to the trouble to look,
are all the ways things were done. In the Archives and Reading Room, you can find
information on how to start, apps that were used. If you really want to know
how its done and there are really a lot of ways to do it, read. It's all here somewhere.
How to crack, tools you need, password crackers, scanners and lots of "how to's".
So if you want to be "in the know", it's here.
