Hacker Culture History

From 'hackers' and the 'computer underground' at that!

This is pretty ironic to read on a forum called "Hacker" News, which also originated as a counter-culture that considered itself creative but was regarded as criminal by the general public.

In the post, noname123 says "hacker," but the areas of endeavor he's discussing cross that boundary. More importantly, the activities he talks about were always restricted to small, secretive communities--I had no idea that stuff was going on 'til the early 90s.And guess what? The original set of activities, with the original motivation, is still going on in small, secretive communities. It's just hard to tell when your particular community dissolved long ago, and you haven't run across any

Enjoyed the bit about hacker culture and the milliblatts :)

what, no Crash Bandicoot jokes yet? I'm actually surprised they didn't mention that on the About page in some fashion, given how much overlap there is between the hacker and gaming communities.

Worth introducing to a new generation ;)If you want a representative article to sample, let it be Strauss' "The Fall of Hacking Groups". A lament for the subculture of yore:http://phrack.org/issues/69/6.htmlPrevious HN discussion here:https://news.ycombinator.com&

Happy Hacker- that's a blast from the past I had nearly forgotten about. Do you happen to know if any culture like this still exists today? I am sure there is something somewhere, but it was a fairly significant part of the early internet, these days, I am sure it still exists, but it seems to be in far more obscure corners of the internet. I wouldn't even know where to start, but I would suspect discord might be hosting a lot of this type of discussion.

What does this have to do with hacker culture? Another repost from reddit. Great piece though.

Replying to this community had a large group of influential and actual hackers.
