And one of the only times anyone ever has been arrested for a CFAA violation and got off, it's only like, I can count on one hand, I think, how many times that's happened.

Darknet Diaries

And frack was one of them.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

So yeah, that was definitely quite an article.

Another article which made big waves was titled Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit.

When this article came out, buffer overflows became the new favorite way hackers would break a system.

Darknet Diaries

And it was a favorite because of how successful it was to do.

Darknet Diaries

Programs just weren't designed to stop this from happening.

Darknet Diaries

And so many things were vulnerable.

Darknet Diaries

Companies would try to ignore the vulnerabilities that they were told about, almost with the audacity of being upset that somebody would buy their software and then try to break it, as if hackers were the problems, like they were just some punk kids trying to jab their fingers in somebody's eye.

There are so many good articles on frac.

Nmap is the de facto tool, almost a standard for how we do port scanning today.

Darknet Diaries

It's a super simple command line tool.

Darknet Diaries

And the person who made Nmap published how to effectively port scan using the tool on Frack.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

And that taught millions of people how to port scan.

Darknet Diaries

Even today, Nmap is still highly used by just about everyone in cybersecurity.

And there's another article on Frack which goes into detail of how to do GPS jamming.

Darknet Diaries

Hmm, that's a good point.
