- HackerZ Hideout FAQ v1.02

-
- This FAQ was written due to the amount of repeated questions asked
- Via email. I receive anywhere from 100-300 emails daily asking
- me questions about hacking. This hopefully will answer some
- of the more common questions.
-
-
- (Q) Why doesn't the hideout have anything on viruses?
-
- (A) I personally do not believe in viruses. They are not a form of
- hacking. The intent of viruses is to be malicious. Some viruses
- are not malicious but there are few of those. I do however like
- to see new and exciting ones. Most nowadays are modified copies
- of original viruses. Plain and simple...if you want to learn
- about them read an Assembly book.
-
- (Q) Where can I get that cool background music you have on your
- webpage?
-
- (A) I don't mind people taking a few souvenirs...in fact it's a form of
- flattery in my opinion. Just don't get carried away. I don't want
- to see any unauthorized HackerZ Hideout mirror sites. However you should
- know that in Netscape (and maybe other www browsers) you can view the document
- source code. Look for the .MID and copy that code. If you want to
- download the file direct. www.hackersclub.com/km/midis and take
- the ones you want also mR.dISCO has released some of his midi's as mp3's so you
- hear what they sound like in Stereo.
-
- (Q) Why don't you carry Warez? (Pirated Software)
-
- (A) Should I even answer this? All emails of this nature are deleted without an
- answer. Its simple pirated software is illegal. Do you want your server seized?
- Most of the Warez Websites you see won't last 3 months. SPA/BSA will find you along
- with MS reps and other software companies who pay people to hunt these sites down.
- Your best bet if your looking for this software and such is either look for these sites
- via a search engine or join IRC and jump into channels like #exceed and download to
- your hearts content. I did write a text file on getting pirated software in IRC.
- Download it from the file area.
-
- (Q) No cracks either?
-
- (A) Yup. Cracks are illegal too if you use them to crack software *YOU* personally didn't buy.
- You can read the legit SPA form in the LAW area of the HackerZ Hideout. However if you
- use the cracks on software you own already (registered copies of course) it is legal.
-
- (Q) Do you personally hack?
-
- (A) Long time ago I use to mess around and cause havoc. Now I just bring together all aspects
- of the scene and deliver a small piece to people. I am retired and will stay that way.
- My plans are to run a good hacking page for people who are curious in learning.
-
- (Q) What do you use for your graphics?
-
- (A) Adobe PhotoShop v5 with about 100 plugins. Most of the graphics are made by me or by
- my ex-wife. (wife at the time in which they were created)
-
- (Q) Why does it take so long for you webpage to load?
-
- (A) I did a lot of graphics and added music to the pages. I wanted my site to be visually
- appealing along with being a good source of information. If you have already seen the
- site with the graphics, I have put together a TEXT version of the Hideout.
-
- (Q) Can I link to your site?
-
- (A) By all means go for it. Tell everyone about this site.
-
- (Q) Why do you ban links from Geocites and Angelfire?
-
- (A) Those 2 places seem to censor and move Hack/Phreak/Warez pages off to frequently. Plus
- with only 1-2 megs in space there isn't much a page could have. Links and information
- maybe. I will only make cases for those pages that really do have a lot of information.
-
- (Q) What is Warez-Waldo?
-
- (A) Warez-Waldo is nothing more than an IRC channel on Effnet. We don't trade Warez or
- distribute pirated software. We are a group of people who go in there to hang out and
- converse like everyday people. We are not a pirate group, hack group or courier group.
-
- (Q) Do you subscribe to 2600 magazine?
-
- (A) Yes. Don't you? Magazine is full of goodies and I enjoy the lameness. =)
-
- (Q) Why run a hacking page?
-
- (A) I've thought about this for a long time. I think the reason I run such a page is for
- learning purposes. I think because of all the research and hands-on training that I have
- done, it has helped me achieve a goal in corporate America. I have a well paying job and
- I know what a hacker thinks of in terms of breaking in. A lot of system admins can't
- dream of some of things hackers do. I live, breath and lust for computers. All I can say
- is that for once in my life I have a job where I am happy and haven't complained and
- I owe it to playing on the computer.
-
- (Q) Will you ever hack again?
-
- (A) Of course but it will be only on my personal machines or maybe even helping out people
- at work protect their data.
-
- (Q) How do I view your files?
-
- (A) The files that I have are most than likely compressed using pkzip. If you are a windows
- user I would suggest getting Winzip. You can download a shareware copy at www.winzip.com.
- If you're a beloved dos user, you can download the latest pkware from www.shareware.com. You
- will need to save these files to your computer's hard drive and use these programs to
- uncompress them. ** ALWAYS ** scan the files before executing them.
-
- (Q) What do I do with the C files?
-
- (A) These C programs are for Unix. You can download them but you will need to compile them
- using your Unix shell account.
-
- (Q) Can I get on your mailing list for updates?
-
- (A) On the Entrance page to the Hideout there is a section at the bottom where you can choose
- the page to monitor on the Hideout. When it gets update you will receive an email saying
- it was updated.
-
- (Q) Why you put a lame dos trick/hack in the newbies area?
-
- (A) How many people know the ASCII blank?? I would say most people don't. Especially parents
- and teachers. Its a good little trick to *START* off with. Mainly to get the brain cells
- in people's mind to start churning.
-
- (Q) What do you suggest for a newbie to start out with?
-
- (A) A Hex Editor, some .EXEs to modify...and a small short term goal. Perhaps hack your own
- system. Learn some basic programming. RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH...Hacking something big
- will *NOT* happen over night. You must learn it all like you would Math. No one can jump
- right into Calculus and know all the answers...one must learn the ways.
-
- (Q) Do you offer newbie lessons?
-
- (A) Yes, I have lessons available in the newbie section.
-
- The End..
-
- Until I get more repetitive email questions....
