- veddox 11y agoBoth are great epics of hacking history. I just wonder whether there are any more?
- moyix 11y agoSure; the 500 mile email comes to mind (it gets reposted here periodically): http://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html http://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html
- LukeShu 11y agoAnother one is the Unix Recovery Legend: (also posted here periodically) http://www.ee.ryerson.ca:8080/~elf/hack/recovery.html http://www.ee.ryerson.ca:8080/~elf/hack/recovery.html It's also included in the Unix Administration Horror Stories, which was posted here recently-ish. But it's more just tails of people screwing up in creative ways. http://www.yak.net/carmen/unix_horror_stories http://www.yak.net/carmen/unix_horror_stories
