Oh the memories! I haven’t coded since then and am about to start again, I wish learning now was as easy as control break to start again. We squeezed everything out of basic then started learning assembly. We fucking owned our school econet making a port scanner that polled station 100 (the teacher admin station) to eventually get his password for *I AM SYS. Password was paramecium!!! It took days to poll. Then we got a copy of the advanced user guide for BBC Master and became gods. My best mate and hacking buddy went by Bruteus, I was Apollo! Bruteus ? You on hacker news?! We then used to change our station number to 100 whenever we logged in to do naughtiness. (?&d22=100) It drove the admin crazy reading logs or the printer spool we’d randomly trigger. Our opsec was poor though and we boasted to the wrong person who snitched. Suspended from school and banned from all networked machines. Still think they should have brought us in to volunteer instead. A physics teacher actually let us use his non networked computer because he saw we had talent and interest and he tried to harness it. He was awesome. He put us in charge of downloading the NOAA data to do weather maps via cassette tape! Then when the admins car had left we had a sneaky super long eco net cable we made that we hung out of a window to the floor below to a network socket and resumed our pwnage. Man we were little arseholes!
