Is hacker culture dead now?
I remember growing up in the 90s and 2000s my older brother was into the hacker scene. It was so alive back then, i remember watching with amazement as he would tell me stories.
Back in the day, guys in high school would enter IRCs and websites and share exploits, tools, philes and whitepapers, write their own and improve them. You had to join elite haxx0r groups to get your hands on any exploits at all, and that dynamic of having to earn a group’s trust, the secrecy, and the teen beefs basically defined the culture. The edgy aesthetics, the badly designed html sites, the defacement banners, the zines etc will always be imprinted in my mind.
Most hackers were edgy teens with anarchist philosophy who were also smart i remember people saying it was the modern equivalent of 70s punk/anarchists
Yes i may have been apart of the IRC 4chan/anonymous days of the late 2000s and early 2010s which was filled with drama and culture but the truth is it wasn’t really hacker culture it was it’s own beast inspired by it. What I want to know is if hacker culture is dead now in your eyes
