We had a member of this group in our school as an exchange student. Made good use of BO. He got picked up for getting into gov computers. Picked up and deported. Now works as a security expert and travels around the world. Crazy times in 99.
With 30 years of distance and some (very, very late in life) self-awareness and ability to retro-flect, I've come to understand how much cDc and the l0pht and 2600 influenced my youth. To the point I still kinda am a rad 90's skater punk masquerading as a computer nerd. 40 years later and never lost the things from the scene gifted me, and ended up in a related technical career. Lots of nostalgia feels going on watching this. Nice work, even if it's a re-upload or whatever.
cDc...L0pht...takes me back... the old days (nights) .. sitting in the dark for hours on end.. staring at the monitor from less than a foot away, waiting patiently as my Commodore 64 connected at 300kbps (later 1200, then 2400)... reading 2600 text rags, oogling ascii art.. the demo warz, sceners, warez, pay-phones, boxes of various colors, reciting 'the manifesto', the smell of flux and solder, diy e-proms, gatherings of people crammed into a small room to see who could create the most impressive things in the smallest of spaces... shredding paper and plastic and burning weeks and months worth in a barrel because somebody you know got busted.. I can smell the nostalgia. Much respect to cDc (I still have copies of original files I DLed to 5 1/4" on a 1541... somewhere.. in a box..). L0pht.. Mudge, Space Rogue (I miss HNN) and others, literally created history. Thank you Sumsub for takin' us back in time.
@@lupinthird Yup. (Typin is more automatic these days than it was back when I used only 3 fingers on each hand (but was faster and and more accurate)). Started with a gray cartridge and moved up to Aprotek. Later on, I had the very first (and possibly only) 9600 C64 BBS (custom DMBBS+SpiceNet hybrid with CG-movies, SIDs, LoRD and other door games, and PBX-XFer-Out for certain boxer friends (kermit,punter, DTMF menus I made from a text game. worked like a 'mud/mush' type thing but instead of hitting N to go North, it was K for KP and S for Start, and 2 for 2600. No arduino stuff back then, but custom chip burners and boards etc made it fun. PBX was not a 'real' PBX, but was connected custom hardware that was connected to several land-lines that auto-relayed through pseudo-randomized list before going out. That part didn't last long.. got tired of replacing chips all the time that overheated and it got to be a bit more risky toward the end). If you were a boxer back in the day and want some real nostalgia, there is a pretty accurate simulation you can dial into and use (box only). PM if interested. Totally legal, fun, and educational. Works with box-apps from a cell even. The trunk sounds are pretty accurate to what they were.
I first heard of the Cult randomly , when I was a teenager in Boston after a picked up a CD from a bench at a flee market called Hacking something. On the surface it was just a CD with simple little programs when you let the autoplay feature kick in. If you explored the CD they had bundled some really cool essay on hacking and various programs of the time like Back Orifice and SubSeven . My little 16 year old brain was blown away. Kinda opened my eyes to a whole new world that previously was hidden.
I remember back in the late nineties, I downloaded some chat program called Leop@rd at the time, that was infected with a Cult of the Dead Cow spyware/virus .
those where the days. I used BO as a sub for managing all the desktops I had to manage. It made it so I didn't have to get out of my seat anymore to do my job. Loved it. Great watching this and remembering! Loved seeing Fred Thompson taking their statement. Good flashback day!
How did you get that naming origin story wrong?!?! Dead cow came from 0xDEADBEEF This was a common error code used by Microsoft engineers in the 90s. 8-letter hexadecimal words are special because they can be used as a DWORD (32-bit unsigned integer, and important windows data type)
Oh i'm hyped to see Sumsub talking about this! I know about these guys because of the book "Getting started becoming a master hacker" I love a good docu by Sumsub
@@Sumsubcom Oh that would be lovely i have many great ideas for you guys. Is it okay if i have some time to think about a answer? i would love to suggest some great ideas!
Oh my god Sumsub so i realized their influence is that big that i actually was doing all these things in my youth without knowing the true backstory & origin. I'm kinda shocked about this (it must be a deeply burried memory) also msfconsole is showing a cow and i never really asked myself why but now it's WOW.

When I was dating my now wife we cleaned up a building her late father used as a workspace in a tiny town in Alabama. I found a CdC sticker in a desk drawer and flipped out. I was a early teen building computers in the late 90s. He was a intl delta pilot til y2k, but I have to assume he got it at at a burn. He started burning in the mid 90s. The sticker now lives on a reusable water fire extinguisher I keep around.
I remember being a young hacker in the 90s and loving the cult of the dead cow.. I used BO many times as well as winnuke, teardrop, all sort of fun stuff.. it's not so fun anymore.. a lot of tools these days are very corporate like.
dude the amount of people that actually took people on their word when they said there wasn't a cow level in d2 was kinda amazing. was there really that many who didn't know there was a cow level? because I was just trolling, but some people legit were gate keeping the hell out of info when noobz were in the lobbies or in the game world text chat. me and a few players I met had our own little clique that all used to stomp the ladder in hardcore. kinda wish I could find those foos again and play some diablo 4
I had a radio shack “red box” that I made. It was a tone dialer with crystal mod. Ironically I never got into hacking as I had discovered girls shortly after figuring out how to mod that tone dialer 😅
I remeber Back orifce well. Scanning random subnets, and getting hits of infected computers was so fun. So many passwords in plain text. And targeted attacks were so easy with 'Saran Wrap' program, as it let you hide a payload within a legitimate file. I was just a kid, but BO2K opened a new world to me
Great cutting, really great transcript I love it thanks a lot! Stuff like yours show me that AI won't only dominate content creation!! Your job is safe!!
At 00:17:20 you can see a TSR running called "bugs" that would basically be just a bunch of ASCII art bugs that crawl around eating up all the characters on your screen. Those were fun times!
i grew up on cDc. did all sort of things. BO was fun but it quickly became not enough. I wanted more. Developing malware in primary school. I've worn all the hats, black, white, gray. Now i'm older, thus more risk-averse, thus the latter of those three. I IRC until this day with my friends. we never switched to discord. Gen-Z will never understand the beauty of owning someone else's computer or a server belonging to the government. Working in infosec is nowhere as cool as my childhood was, even red-teaming engagements are like playing in a sandbox with your parents watching your every move over your shoulder. And I've never even been to USA.
Ah the olden days. I remember getting BO2k on a "Windows Gold" CD along with all the purated software and a load of text files including a certain cookbook 😂.
This is a long shot, but do you have any sites with open source data that can help teach me some of the new things that can be done on a computer?... I know it's a long shot but I'm guaranteed to miss if I don't shoot
Microsoft dropped the aging 95/98/ME "DOS" based OS because they didn't need it anymore. (ME was a REAL stinker!) Since win2k, they had a workable desktop version of NT. (There were companies that used NT 3/4 as a desktop, but it wasn't a great experience.) There was no point continuing two entire OS divisions.

The amount of ads you allowed on here is disgusting. I am halfway through the video and I give up I’m just done…you have them from anywhere to 30 seconds to like two minutes. It’s fked up dude. I can’t support this crap.
You say that you can't support it, but you commented, which supports it. I'm assuming that you may have also downvoted it, which also supports the video. Any interaction on UA-cam is good. It's like no publicity is bad publicity. If you don't like/agree with a video, the best course of action is to do nothing.
Why reupload?

They're literally the hackers portrayed in movies
that's because these people started the scene... So obviously, people were going to take inspiration from them... Is this not obvious?
