How I Got Back Into Hacking ------------------------------------ From "forced name-calling" (stealing someone's chat name, and making them say shit) -- to early nuking of servers, hacking administrators, shutting down entire networks, crashing peoples computers, and lagging people out of VPlaces, building my own software specifically to sabotage a gaming network, which I also completely hacked with a friend -- meaning, the server code, the game code, the admins passwords, how to crash the chatroom, and various in-game glitch cheats. I've also purchased drugs online very discretely while being in the maze of silicon valley, and sold a lot of them at college, while also selling thousands of dollars worth of gaming items on eBay. I "know" the internet. I "know" how to navigate this shit-maze, and now I'll tell you a story about why I had no plan of getting back into hacking, and how I detested my past, and h o w I never wanted to get back involved with the motherfuckers known as "hackers" or "spies" or "inceptors" of information, and privacy abusers. I got drunk. I bought a bottle of rum, and went straight to github, and sourceforge, and downloaded every single piece of code, program, and hacking software I could legally download, while not thinking about it. I have an actual hard drive, as well as at least two or three jump drives filled with code of uncompiled programs. Every type of hacking program you can name, I could reach into one of my drives and compile at any time. The trick with hacking is leaving your shit lying around. Lately, since I know I'm judicious, I just put my programs right in my taskbar. Since I'm only "defending" -- and pretty much only nuking I.P.'s off my own portmonitor, and protecting other servers, and people (with disruption, sometimes, or social engineering work) -- I get involved personally in servers, also, to "interpolate": my energy, my feelings, and sway the audience, control the algorithm, and manipulate the website with my own resources and media which also gives me energy, since I get paid for my music. I use 1.) The most powerful nukers to name. 2.) I don't use all of them. 3.) As a matter of fact, I can take down a server in one second. I had to get drunk. I didn't want to think about it. Twenty entire years had gone by. They wouldn't stop attacking my I.P. They were serving this weird, "wine" infused Mountain Dew at the "happy hour" section of KFC, and all it took was two of them for me to get drunk. I don't know "how" I enjoyed Maine's corruption so much, but it was meant to be. I bought KFC drinks for at least three weeks. Daily, I traced, targeted, exploited, nuked, and eventually I.P. blocked everyone who was attacking my I.P. after years of ignoring them. I saved all of my programs, and still remember all of my best techniques. Blocking I.P.'s is hilarious, when someone thinks they can ICMP you. Here's why: If someone keeps disconnecting you, wait for a chance when you make a video or piss a lot of people off, and bait them to your port monitor. Log all the I.P.'s and literally block all of them. All except for the safe ones. And then watch as your computer never gets disconnected for an entire week at least. Knocking out servers is illegal if you do it to a server that has advertising, and money involved. Tragically, I am the NSA, and I can make the choice to do whatever I want, as I am also very intuitive, discerning, and aware of my actions, I still can make my own choices, since I (now) represent, in all questioning of sacredness, that clockwork spinning.
