Back in like 1998 or 1999 I used L0phtCrack to get the admin password to the PCs in the computer lab. Good times :)

Combine this with a IIS3 exploit and a ip scanner you coded for fun and you make that labs all around the world :)

Or the big red button admin bypass. If I remember right ms patched that vuln but then it would just act like it was winnuked instead. Bravo Microsoft. They really are fun to make fun of looking back at their record for security

Good times were had by non-sysadmins around the world

you're doing something neat with your Us but I, unfortunately, came of age after lots of the cool times were over. All the hackers got jobs in industry and it feels like if I poke anything that isn't hackthebox I'll either A. have the FBI up my ass immediately or worse, B. have created a record somewhere of having committed one felony or another that will appear at an appropriate time for someone else and inappropria…

set up your own testing environments.

As long as your country allows you to even own the tools...

I got expelled from high school because of this program. I'm a millionaire now though so shrug

Congrats, how did you do it?

Combination of 401k growth, having a six figure income, cryptocurrency investments, and early investment in AMD and TSLA and a few side income streams.

Shame what happened to Terrahash (previous owner of L0phtCrack). As someone who has purchased several Brutalis cracking rigs, those things were the most badass machines on the market.

Looks like they sold and committed to a bunch of cracking rigs before sourcing enough GPUs right before prices skyrocketed, and were suddenly on the hook for a lot more than they could realistically pay for. Hopefully Jeremi manages to pull through. It's a fantastic company that makes a fantastic product. I'd love to buy some new rigs when they get their supply chain issues figured out.

L0pht put hacking and infosec on the map for arguably hundreds of people. They were and still are incredibly talented.

Indeed. I had the good fortune to work with DilDog before he co-founded Veracode. I count him in the top ten of talented co-workers across a three decade career.

I work with him now at his current gig. Totally agree. Constantly learning new things from him.
