Very True.. The BBS and door game back in the days kept me interested to learn and luckily I get to down security full time now... it's just fun.. ( mostly )
I remember back when we where all playing doom on 9600 modems and hacking around with the USR robotic connection strings.. I really enjoyed that. It sparked a pure interest in learning about those damn computers :) I learned my first hack setting up the same software and door games as the BBS had at home and learning what files did what and where the configs where :) Not trying to get into some old skool kick or anything( I'm not even 30 yet ) I just got lucky enough to do something I really enjoy.

Those were the days. I remember Tradewars, but I was more of a BRE fan myself. L.O.R.D. was good for a laugh. Heh. Satan and l0pht releases as well as quota-based download queues which required equal uploads to be able to get anything. I have to say, the best way to get an education in hacking is to actually set up a private network and start banging on things. I think that actual experience is worth so much more than degrees or reading text files. The bottom feeder script kiddies couldn't hold a candle to what we were doing those days. -bkfsec _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
