Time to announce age

[Genari Ichijo]

The title doesn't really fit the topic, sorry... For those who are, and I hope I'm talking to the majority of the site, I wanna know how long have you been a hacker or scammer? And also, have you improved in any vast amounts since you were a beginner? Have you gained any new abilities that you might be able to use for different types of programs or something along those lines?

Answer as you will.

Hacking for almost two years now... I have improved a TON. Started out just brute forcing/crackers.

[Sydd]

I quit.
But I hacked with friends for like 1 year.

Protip: no one on this site is a hacker, excluding maybe five people max

Good to know. I was just looking to see if anyone had any serious power.

Theres several different types of people on the forums...
The true "hackers" are those who are very advanced in programming and find exploits.
There are those who have great ideas and workarounds, and can come up with creative ideas for phishing/hacking.
And there are those who use the released stuff and act like that are uber leet.

And the people that sit here and bother other people. I used to scam for like a year or so. But I got bored the last time I got banned.

For me, I quit. I didn't do it for long, but it didn't take long for me to catch on. I began by learning HTML, DHTML, and CSS. Using this, I improved on the FLP's that people made here, and used them for my own profit. My first catch, on an edited FLP, was like 1.2 million. Not long after, I started reading up on database exploits, IE: SQL injection. Eh. when I tried this, I wasn't too successful. THEN, I moved on to brute forcers, which I didnt like too much. Then I got banned again, and quit. Soooooo like 6 months.

Lawl, that's pretty much how I rolled. When FLP's stopped being effective a lot of us had to use brute forcers and just hope that something good came from it. I only got like 2mil total using brute forcers, compared to around 60mil using flp's. So I stopped.

When i was on the old Lg i use to scam like everyday. But now i don't really see the point.

I never really 'started' exploiting/hacking/scamming/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. Being a web programmer, I stumbled upon it. I had to learn how to prevent users from exploiting my scripts, and thus, I had to learn how to exploit scripts. That's really all there was to it. The more I learned about programming, the more I learned about idiot-proofing and hacker-proofing programs, the more I learned about exploiting programs. Simple as that.

Along the way, I met a lot of other programmers who were around the same level of programming skills as myself, and we would exploit each others scripts for practice. I always had a knack for finding exploits, I guess, as I always found more than anyone else. Not sure when exactly I started programming in languages that were exploitable, but I've been programming for seven years or so. So I'll guess five years of which have involved "hacking" and exploits.

tl;dr: 5 years

i think you under estimate people here; I know of atleast 10 ppl offhand that are member on this site who really do hack.

I have been in the buisness myself for arround 5-6 years, more so in the last two years, if you really want to count it i can say 9 years since me and my cousins use to crack ppls accounts on neopets all the time for fun when we were little.

What's sad is that I turned to hacking when I got wrongfully banned from Gaia in 2007.

So 3 years

For an all around thing possibly 5-6 years.

[Fork]

hmmmmm. I been into web development for quite a while. about a year i suppose? i jus got into programming with languages such as C++ last year i believe.

[sighkick]

Its been about 1 year..my scamming abilities have improved a little...I need more work of course

As stated I believe there are no hackers on this site that have shown this particular skill here.

I have seen people who create programs used to abuse different "Bugs," but the literal modification of something has yet to be seen by me on this site.

i hacked gaia by making my own FLPs for a while then i switched to viruses but i was too much of a pussy and did not want to get in trouble so i just used those on my friends computers.... and i have been "hacking" random things for about 2 years

[iAKA]

I've been into scamming since like around 4yrs (left it an year back) and hacking/scripting since a year or so . . .

[Slash]

The most hacking I have done are the basic missions on HackThisSite. I'm too lazy to learn a bunch of code and stuff =p

Scamming? You mean like Gaia? I did that for like a year, but that's all.

Does that mean if I were modify a computer program to remove the auth I would be classified as a hacker?
