Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

Skyper wasn't involved at all.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

And Mike didn't even know who Skyper was, but Skyper had a plan.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

He wanted to revive Frack and needed to do something epic to prove his worthiness.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

How did you steal a domain?

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

Wow, so just by looking at the view source of a website, it would show you the authorization code that it was expecting in order to prove that you're the owner of the site.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

I mean, it has to compare the authorization code you type in with something, right?

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

So there's some logic on the back end somewhere.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

It just happened to be right there in the source code of the site.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

It was as simple as just doing view source, and then you could take over anyone's domain.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

So Skyper had frac.org and wanted to use it to revive frac.com.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

But he wasn't doing this alone.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

He actually was involved with a few hacking groups, specifically HERT and TESO.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

So with frack.org in hand and with TESOL and Hurt behind him, Skyper got busy recreating the site to show he can manage a website like that.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

So Skyper was now in control of Frac, and it officially moved from frac.com to frac.org, which is where it remains today.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

And it was a whole new fresh team.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

Nobody from the old Frac staff was around to write any articles or to help.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

So this new team got busy with a fresh new issue, issue 57.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

So in 2001 was the first time Frack had a hardcopy created, elevating it to the next level.

Darknet Diaries
170: Phrack

So hackers trying to hack a hacker website is always going to be a thing.
