The year was 1998.
The internet was relatively new and exciting. No one had heard of Google. AskJeeves was the predominate Search Engine, IRC and ICQ ruled that chat world, and yahoo solved everything else. Napster was just getting big.
SubSeven was the malware of choice and dumbass people started calling viruses, virii (*shudder*).
I'd like to say I don't remember what got me into hacking. but I do. It was smut. 14 year old me had certain... desires. Back then hacking paid websites was often as simple as setting the correct referrer in your browser, accessing a direct link, and other stupid shit like that. Any ways. Simple shit like that still gave me quite a... rush... ( in more ways than one
) which is really what lead me into more in-depth interest in computer/network security and hacking.
And here we are now...
