RE: Hacking Boot camps!

["Josh Perrymon" <perrymonj () networkarmor com>]

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.

ANSI IS STILL COOL

And Renegade, WWIV, MajorBBS + clones... 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.
