| -</small> Aight I'm back on the track. Just wanted You to read this stuff below. This was | |
| written by wyze1 and published in 'Forbidden Knowledge' #8 .If You need me mail me at <a | |
| href="mailto:tcsh@b0f.i-p.com">tcsh@b0f.i-p.com</a>. | |

| <font size="2"><p><font face="Verdana"> Yes, the "hacking | |
| scene" - probably the biggest force stunting the growth of hacking itself. For a | |
| group of people who *dare* to call themselves anarchists, I have never seen such a | |
| blatantly ordered institution. There is a strictly set-out protocol to the scene, what is | |
| cool, what is not, how to look elite etc. etc. Although classed according to opinion | |
| somewhat, it always comes down to the same things...</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> And those "same things" I refer | |
| to, have absolutely FUCK ALL to do with hacking. Trading n34t0 3L1t0 0-d4y sPL0itZ with | |
| complete twits on IRC, who probably haven't the first idea about how the thing actually | |
| works. Defacing webpages pointlessly just so other people in "the scene" can see | |
| your handle, or sometimes trying to pin an ill-fitting political motivation to your | |
| defacement as an after-thought (which is worse). Gathering in IRC channels where | |
| nothing technical is ever actually discussed, and life is all about showing everyone how | |
| leet we are, how many boxes we own and how dumb everyone else is. And even when there *is* | |
| technical conversation, the motivation behind it is all fucked up - it's not for the sake | |
| of learning from eachother - its all about making eachother look stupid, or making one's | |
| self look smart. Anyone who can honestly say that the hacking scene promotes hacking is | |
| either a liar, or a complete outright idiot. Look at the people that become well known in | |
| the hacking scene - lets pick gov-boi from hack.co.za as an example.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> Why did he become well known? Because he | |
| can hack? Hell no! It wasn't 4 months ago that man was writing "No Distro" mIRC | |
| war scripts (I can publish them if you don't believe me), his C code makes even novice | |
| coders laugh and he's never actually done *anything* requiring any intelligence. So why do | |
| people know him? People know him because he has taken the time to categorize a wholebunch | |
| of exploits into the operating systems they affect, and put it on a webpage. This means | |
| that various clueless individuals have a one-stop resourcefor clicking on the operating | |
| system they want to hack, downloading and running the exploit they don't understand, and | |
| getting illegitimate access to some-one else's system in a matter of seconds. And because | |
| gov-boi provides this service - he is "elite".</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> And the point is: this is what is | |
| required to be an important person in this institution. This is what one HAS to do. Know | |
| the right people, hang in the right places, have the right exploits - and you're elite. | |
| Without even having to be able to do anything requiring an IQ above that of a piece of | |
| cheddar cheese. And even in the higher ranks of the hacking scene, where everything is | |
| supposed to be different - it's the same old shit. How many people will fight to be the | |
| new editor of Phrack when route retires (or when some-one finally kills him :P), not | |
| because they have a vision for Phrack's future, or because they have a good style of | |
| writing, or because they *honestly* believe they could do a better job than the other | |
| candidates, but because they want to be the Editor of PHRACK and thus ELITE.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> I want to hack. Not break into systems, | |
| Not look cool on IRC, Not kiss ass to get into "leet hacker groups", I want to | |
| HACK: to play around with stuff on my system, learn how things work better, try out new | |
| ideas just for the sake of trying out new things: without any extra "culture" | |
| bullshit. As soon as I finish writing this epilogue, I want to take a stab at using the | |
| JNI to have Java-controlled low-level packet creation. I want to audit every daemon on | |
| Tucows, find all the buffer overflow bugs I can, code exploits for them, and then delete | |
| thce exploits as soon as I get them to work! I want to do pointless arb shit that will | |
| benefit me and nobody else, and never apply anything practically, just for the sake of | |
| extra arbness. ;P</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> Fuck Subculture. What a dumb idea. :) And | |
| while we're at it, fuck culture, it's also just another obstacle in the way of | |
| individualism. And finally, fuck YOU: For being in a subculture, for reading this zine | |
| instead of finding out stuff yourself (which will prob be better anyway) and (most | |
| importantly) for not sending me free beer. :P</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> And so, as you can imagine, I've had a | |
| great deal of trouble deciding wether or not to stay "in" the scene, wether or | |
| not to continue Forbidden Knowledge and wether or not to just drop my current handle and | |
| move on. And ultimately I've decided: No, I haven't changed the opinions of enough people | |
| to call it quits just yet. I was gonna drop out of the scene totally, but talking about it | |
| with NtWaK0 and Moe1 and re-reading my own cyberpunk.txt from FK4 changed my mind. I'm | |
| still, however, going to carry on with my new idea of just screwing around with | |
| stuff that interests me and not necesarilly taking time to implement all my ideas, whilst | |
| keeping a minimal connection with "the scene", which means that FK *will* | |
| continue, although it will probably be less orderly, more abstract and won't explain as | |
| much to the newbie reader sector. But that doesn't really matter - I'm not terribly fond | |
| of any form of order what-so-ever, and the newbies will just have to go and get smarter or | |
| something. :) Oh yeh, I also might wander off what many of you would call | |
| "hacking" more often, but if you don't *still* call what I'm covering hacking, | |
| yer probably not the kind of reader we want anyway.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> Also, through-out most of 2000 and early | |
| 2001, there is going to be somewhat of an FK go-slow. I have a lot of things ahead of me: | |
| my final year of school, and starting the company Pneuma and I want to get running in | |
| 2001. Also, much of 2000 will be devoted to developing the AI that our company will be | |
| selling - so my schedule is quite packed. Ultimately, the more articles I get, the less | |
| the go-slow will be noticed. And if I get enough articles (as I did with this issue for a | |
| change :P), you probably won't even notice. Yeap, a year has gone by and there are some | |
| things that need to be changed, but I think we grew pretty well. Also note that as from | |
| sometime early next year, all feedback and article submissions should be sent to my new | |
| addy, which will be wyze1@sexdrugsunix.org</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> So FK will probably continue until about | |
| 2025 when World War 3 breaks out, y0. Heh, I can see it now: The USA vs Everybody else on | |
| the planet. :-P But thats cool - I'd love having the opportunity to re-build society once | |
| its been nuked to oblivion and I also think that a war like that is *exactly* what the USA | |
| needs to slap some sense into it. Think about it: they are constantly "saving" | |
| other countries from attack, but they have never been attacked on their *own* land, had | |
| people come into *their* house, waste *their* kids and rape *their* wives. And I think | |
| that's what they need to realize exactly what they're doing to other people.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> Look at the undeclared war between South | |
| Africa and Angola in the seventies - I'm sure one in every 5 South African readers knows | |
| somebody who died in that war. Now, it is publically admitted that the war happened, and | |
| that actually, the war was between the USA and Cuba, each supplying SA and Angola | |
| respectively with equipment - Yes, it was the USA valiantly bashing those horrible commie | |
| scum again. Go Fucking Go. But the point is - the issue of the war is in the open now - | |
| South Africa admits to it, Angola admits to it, Cuba admits to it, and the USA... *still* | |
| denies that they were responsible for</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Verdana"> MORE death in OTHER people's countries. I | |
| am sorry, but America is the fucking *king* of hypocrisy: "Ooh, look at all the | |
| racist South African scum, what a crap country!" Hello?!! HOW many Native Americans | |
| are in powerful positions in the USA? Hmm.. *I* don't know of any - Perhaps that could be | |
| because they WASTED 90% of them a hundred years ago, and those that we *DO* have we treat | |
| like *SHIT*. So children, *learn* from America's wisdom - don't discriminate, kill. *Sigh* | |
| What a crock of shit. The USA is probably one of THE most racist countries around. The | |
| fucking mixed marriages act is still in place in Alabama, The USA has *never* had anything | |
| *but* a white president, and ultimately, when it comes down to being *nice* to and | |
| *respecting* other races, attitudes in SA are FAR less anal retensive. I could go on for | |
| ages about other reasons why America can suck my dick, like the fact that the US hacking | |
| scene think everything revolves around them and them only, but I won't. I've wasted too | |
| much space with this weird stream-of-conscious epilogue already, and just the thought of | |
| having to mention *that* country or *that* lame subculture one more time makes me | |
| nauseous. </font></p> | |
