It’s probably a good thing I didn’t have the knowledge/skills I have now, it might have saved me from trouble. Back in those days I was more interested in getting Back Orfice to remotely open a CD-ROM tray on a friend’s computer. I remember when broadband was first being rolled out it seemed like everyone was hooking up their cable/DSL modems directly to their PC and having a public IP with no firewall. Good times.
My mom bought me applied crypto when I was thirteen and I was really into trying to learn how to find exploits with idapro and learning to code in general. It wasn't really the other kind of Freeform studying lol I was terrified of the thought of prison.
