anyone remember using bitchslap to exploit windows i think it was either 95/98? that was the SHIT. all you had to do was enter the IP and boom
That white text on blue is so sharp!
The beauty of high resolution!
Otherwise 1993 is when I got my first internet account. Back when librarian has no idea what a password was.
There was this two macs with internet. I walk up to one. control panel. internet account. The password wasn't even starred out. Copy. Go home. Run.
Then what I did is going in the FTP account with the account i just got. I went one level back to see all the usernames. ( user folder = username ) And i start trying them out one by one as username = password. When I got this idea, I tried frank/frank without even checking if there was such a user. Bingo!
Sex, money and god might be the most popular passwords, but what's even more popular is the same pass as username. I'd 10-20% conversion rate. (well, conversion was not part of my vocabulary back then )
I had unlimited internet for 3 years back when there was no such thing. I even made good money off it, but we won't get into much details. Basically I milked it until I could.
Ahhh.... good old days. IRC Splits, ICMP attacks.... when efnet was one... life was simpler then.

LORD was incredibly fun and addictive. it's amazing how much joy we got from just text.
It's still online you know, someone ported the code to run in Java.
PM me if you want to hit the forest and fight to the death!
Then there was Zork, another time waster!@
Cakes, I got that bluebox too...
Dune, Stunts and irc war. Doom map editors. Teardrop attacks. War scripts. Seems so distant. MIRC and pirch98 was the l33t sh1t. And I am not even that old ffs...
Omg, I just remembered. Do you guys remember what you had to go through to setup the soundblaster on DOS games? IRQ's etc? Or setting up the autoexec.bat to preserve conventional memory for the games? I remember when I got my first "multimedia kit" for my pc. A 8x cd drive and a soundblaster, costing half a paycheck.

Maximus based BBS system. There were hundreds of various ones. I've even setup my own BBS at one time, but parents wouldn't let me use, because the phone would be busy and weird people would be calling. Speeds were blazing 14.4k to 28.8k if you were lucky.
The list of available BBS's circulated on invite-only (if you wanted to be a point, not a node) FidoNET and other BBS's.
FidoNET was basically an elaborate network of newgroups.
LOL yeah config.sys you had to add something like
c:/dos/highmem.sys ram
or something along those lines
Lots of games used the majority of the 648kb (I think) of base memory on top of RAM, so no programs in base memory! lol
Some games wouldn't run with sound, because they needed more memory to run with sound. Memory back then was I think 40$ per meg.

Wolf3d was teh rox0r. I also remember racking up $100 AOL bills playing Airwarrior, Gemstone and DGate. Then I discovered the multiple-spacebar hax and never paid for "premium" games again.
Suck it AoHell

Thousands of hours spent... back in the day this was absolutely awesome game.
Wow, I worked on this game, we used the code as a basis for C&C. Did not expect to see this ever on WF.
Pepsi.com
Oh God. Oh dear God in heaven no. Your first instinct will be to repeatedly jab a pinecone in your eyes, but please try to understand Pepsi's mindset. First, they were almost definitely drunk. Secondly, they knew that the internet was in some way related to computers, so the idea was to make their website very evocative of a computer. I'm not convinced they understood what a computer was, but when they closed their eyes and thought about computers, this monstrosity is what popped into their drunken heads.
I LOL'd
Yup, that, Lands of Lore and Hand of Fate (amongst others). C&C (the first one) was based off the Dune 2 code base, which was ported from C to C++ along with the entire Westwood engine at the time.
