Why is hacker culture now dead?

Why do you need a culture to do something?

>>106132261
This.

>>106132261
This.
If you're going to do something, do it for the love of the thing itself. The rest should follow naturally.
Doing anything for the sake of belonging to a culture is just poseurism at its finest.

Going to defcon tomorrow. Work pays so it's just a week vacation.

Talking to regulars who have been there for decades they all say the same thing about how it's changed (hacker culture and all that). How it was reading manuals and unlocking just to peek inside it's all now purple hair, lgbt faggots and led lights

It's all clout chasing but doing it in a safe corporate friendly way with a pretend to be counter culture veener

>>106131916 (OP)
American media and news empires popularized hackers as being either balaclava-wearing villains peddling drugs or Indians ripping off old people
This started happening around the 2010s if not earlier

>>106132366

I'm going to BlackHat tomorrow. Defcon doesn't start until Thursday buddy

>>106132380
It's propaganda at its finest.
If you want to discourage something, make it as unattractive as possible.

>>106132366
>>106132387
We should do a 4chan meetup

>>106132387
Yeah yeah. Technically b-side, then defcon at end of week. I don't think I need to write down my whole schedule though. I just call the whole week defcon

Sounds cool friend.

I'm still new in the whole stuff but been making it a habit of talking to grognards and keep hearing the same general trends of used to be cool but it's corporate now mentality

>>106132399
That's what they did. Last somewhat decent representation of a hacking in American media was starring a schizophrenic pill addict who got molested as a child. Mr robot.

They all got hired in cybersecurity or joined the bug bounty beta tester programs.

>>106132418
Been going since defcon 20 something. I remember back when the parties were fun and non corporate. Got smashed once in a hotel with the cock.li crew, now the advertised parties are all hosted by some corpo with 30 minute lines for drinks

>>106132434
The only modern tech workers who know how to party are crypto bros.

>>106131916 (OP)
Their years of gooning to tranime reached their inevitable conclusion

>>106132434
Yeah that sounds typical of what I hear.

A lot of pretend hacktivist that just always happens to have values that's align with the dominant culture and corporate values.

Wonder how many lgbt meet and greet events there will be...


I'm still looking forward to going. Met some cool people last year just bullshitting outside

I'm down, officer smith. Not sure how you would want to share details anonymously. We could set up fresh hyphanet nodes and share identities, could arrange it without actually knowing each other at all.

Someone post the /k/ meetup where the guy made brownies.

>>106131916 (OP)
It's not. We just had the Tea hack.

>>106132053
Hacking isn't all about breaking security. It's about exploring software to find weak points.
someone had to find those weak points.

>>106132599
Up until the 2000s hackers were often depicted in media as nerds with ideals who used their intelligence to do extraordinary things. Post 2000 they became depicted in media as balaclava wearing drug peddlers, extremely fat men who cyberstalked women, schizo drug addicts, call center jeets ripping off your grandmother, and ultra quick typing women who could seemingly do anything amazing technological feat while JavaScript flew across all 7 of their monitors.

Because it's commercial now. DEFCON last year had a massive space that was sectioned off for fed glowies.
Every college is pumping out useless "cybersecurity" degrees at a crazy rate, and everyone else is pumping out useless cyber bootcamps.

Hacking is cringe because, just like the hippies and the punks, all the edgy cool 1337 kids grew up and became boring middle managers.

every retard ITT has such a narrow definition of hacking, i think that's the ultimate proof that hacker culture is completely dead and unsalvageable

Yup

Basically 95% of "hacks" nowadays are either just social engineering or someone left an S3 bucket public. Whitehack hacking / going after bug bounties is a pajeet-tier exercise and honestly a pretty embarrassing pursuit. CVE filing has become a joke. The actual security field / companies all basically sell snake oil. "Compliance" is basically a meme, security audits are literally a scam.

>>106131916 (OP)
Decline of the Internet in general.
It used to be that the Internet was full of random websites and you could test your skills breaking into some random bank's website or whatever. Now there's nothing to fuck around with except Twitter and Google.

>>106132884
>The actual security field / companies all basically sell snake oil
And at times snake venom, like in that hilarious time that Crowdstrike pushed some dogshit code and made hundreds of millions of machines worldwide boot loop with a BSoD

Ancient hacker risked jail time to pwn sites for the lulz. You worry about "responsible disclosure" and argue with bug bounty triagers. YOU ARE GAY!

What would be a fun way of getting into old school hacking? I'm getting older now and I want to keep my brain active and away from "brainrot" by learning new things. Should i just install old software in a VM or something and try to crack it?

No. Webdev is the lowest rung of technology work out there. Riffraff. Glorified paper pushers. It's all because of BigTech, injecting a plethora of CCP plants and pajeets into the field that are only into it for the money.

mel?

>>106131916 (OP)
because learning to hack modern systems is simply too hard
hell just basic programming is too hard for 99% of people
hacking used to be more popular because it was simply easier to do
the people running security were as smart as the average coder today
so just getting a little bit good was enough to hack a decent amount of systems
but as time went on the people doing the hacking became the ones making the security and it put a hard skill floor on the entire "hobby"
at best you can be a script kiddie
real hackers are controlled/created by government agencies.
even places like defcon have "become" more of a programming /cybersec/ nerd meetup than an actual hacker conference.

Put your friends up in interrogation make em read your statement
Then they fabricate discrepancies embellish on your story
Now your boys are filling in the blanks accusing you of glory
So

>>106132633
I would say that hacking was once more about finding ways to use technology other than those way in which it was intended. For example, finding the right patterns to make your printer play music.

>>106131916 (OP)
>Around 1980, when the news media took notice of hackers, they fixated on one narrow aspect of real hacking: the security breaking which some hackers occasionally did. They ignored all the rest of hacking, and took the term to mean breaking security, no more and no less. The media have since spread that definition, disregarding our attempts to correct them. As a result, most people have a mistaken idea of what we hackers actually do and what we think.

>>106131916 (OP)
"Hacker culture" never existed. It was a lie sold to you to make a profit.

"Culture" is a millenia old collaborative project of ethnic minority group on certain geographical area (think "swedish culture", "hungarian culture", "uyghur culture".....). In USA, where everyone is divided into oblivion, "culture" is used to denote a sub-cultural rebellious movement (think "emo", "goth", "hacker", "skater", "grunge"....). These rebellious anti-authoritarian anti-mainstream cultures are ultimately co-opted by the mainstream corporatist capitalist hyper-individualist culture. They pre-package your idols and Gods with either movies or songs, signalling to other corporatist overlords that this group is ripe for the picking. So movies like Hackers 1995 and Wargames 1983 spill out into the mainstream, corporations and governments get involved and incorporate these people into their processes. All conferences and certifications are pipelines for being a corporate drone or government employee.

You are farmed, and it is a huge field so you can't see all the movements properly, but it is all forceful moves into particular fields of utilization. First they plant the idea in your head, let it foster, then find you and put you in to utilize you.

Rebellious anti-authoritarian anti-mainstream sub-cultural movements are subconscious contrarian reaction to exploitation of humanity. At its core it's highly volatile and prone to damage the current structure of the system, which is why the system fights so hard to squash it before it becomes a bigger stronger movement. They do it by discrediting it ("oh you're just a skid"), lowering its members morale ("everyone is a fed, trust no one, don't organize"), destroying their idols (either killing them, imprisoning them or buying them out to desecrate their image) or making you sell your soul ("work for me or else")

They have harder issue with ethnocentric cultural movements which they squash with migration, which is a slow method

>>106138856
Cont.

This is why all cultural references to counter-cultures are "hero vs villain" old story of one eye symbolism (seth and horus). They have foreseen that they will once fail and lose. They fear that inevitable anti-human movement that they're pushing. The subconscious of the counter-cultural movements is highly dangerous to them because of that reason. Sublingual inductive thoughts and imagery is pushed so they can force the sleeping masses to conjure it into reality (we are creators just like God, we just do it subconsciously). It isn't "predictive programming" but literally manifestation through wilful masses who "just watch a funny movie".

Because 70-90's are over.

It's like asking why zoomers who were so much into retro 90's completely missed on campy atmosphere of stuff they imitated. They're dead serious.

Zoomers grew in the post 2008 world and love big corporations.

They despite non-mainstream, and any subculture got merged into an aesthetic based on buying aesthetic items.
Any creative endeavours were killed by ai.

Computers are phones or big-tech well paid jobs at fagman.

Japanese-wave spiritual stuff was replaced with easily accessible westernised anime and k-pop.

Open-mindness of irc was replaced with sticking to people they know from early age. When was the last time you did talk to a stranger from another country?

Rebellion was replaced with "politics".

Hackers and 4chan were kind of left wing Kind of like hippies before hippies got pulled back into society by their rich parents. And completely incompatible with non-western values.

Interestingly enough, Die Hard 4 had all the hacker stereotypes in one movie. The villains were the balaclava wearing bad hackers trying to hack the stock market, the main characters sidekick was one of the nerds with ideals (who gets the girl in the end), and they would occasionally get help from a neckbeard hacker who lives in his moms basement. That was how media was portraying hackers as of 2007 anyways.

Part of the fun of a game was poking through the files messing with settings, textures, and models. Then you could download tons of mods and just drop them it which would make it more exciting when you modded something and it worked.

They quite literally built civilization in that they were the only people skilled in building proper buildings, especially for churches and other places of social gathering, and by not being patrons of a lord or church they were also free to pursue experimentation into new techniques and controlled sharing of existing ones. They were the original techbros.

3 core points:
1. barrier of entry
locked down appliance devices raised the barrier of entry, you could always find workarounds against software locks but corporations are so strong now that they can muscle their way in into hardware development and make everything have TPMs and hardcoded keys, and make everyone, too, dependent on services which require hardware attestation to access. now being a hacker is akin to buying a house or dating. nowadays people's only computing device is a locked down smartphone whose filesystem is abstracted away and system structure is heavily locked down into read-only filesystems full of layers of bloated abstractions that make the user do more while thinking less, as long as it's within the limits of the abstractions.

2. replacement population
hacker culture requires a minimum number of autistic men in order to thrive. male autists are prone to thinking outside of the box, searching for innovative solutions to problems and hyperfocusing on ways to solve them. however, world leaders are fostering a world that is every day a bit less friendly to autistic men by making their lives actively harder by promoting the wrong values to normies and women and also giving people less third spaces to spend time in outside of work and home. so the male autists that do manage to pass the high barrier of entry are at a huge risk of trooning out and being groomed too and the countries that traditionally supplied all the hackers are aging out and having their population replaced with low IQ people from less developed cultures that don't foster critical thinking or analysis which are needed in order to delve deep into computers. people from these cultures are also more likely to target autistic men due to their social disadvantages

>>106131916 (OP)
people with skills to do it are on payroll, have wife/kids/cars/hobbies they don't care.

It became a viable career choice and the glowie psyops against hackers and arresting them have taken their toll. People are studying it from young to become security professionals rather than lurking round shady forums learning to do crazy shit these days. The scope of what govts, agencies and military can do these days makes being a really good off grid hacker difficult unless you're doing super autistic stuff to stay anon. If you wanna be one of the old school hackers best move to Russia and attack only Western counties as they will just laugh at extradition requests but you'd probably have to work for Russia at some point.

>>106132884
fuck off yacine

>>106144157
3. cultural poisoning
as a result, older hackers are aging out of the scene and there are less young hackers to replace them than before. however, the already crippled pool of autistic men that would have been the new hackers face even more challenges: the tech spaces which traditionally served them as a trampoline to learn and step up is now being poisoned by corporations that push the woke agenda which actively makes the scene less friendly to autistic men which now have to spend time and energy battling with petty drama and political sperging which would have been cleared out by common sense 10 years ago which leads to autistic men being kicked out of projects or being deplatformed away from society for stepping out of the opinion line pushed by corporations and woke activists. on the other hand you have the hijacking of cryptocurrency related technologies which were previously created as a way to liberate humanity from fractional reserve currencies sapping away their buying power every single year now being peddled as pyramid scams and pump and dumps by tech bros which are dark triad men, socially proficient and always in line only innovating as a marketing stint. basically the opposite of a proper hacker. projects and entities like Rust, Debian, Bitcoin, the FSF and pretty much everything related to Web3 are examples of poisoned projects.

guess why all the cracking groups, demo scene party events, LAN parties and all the things that made tech cool stopped being active somewhere around 2014. that's right. gamergate pretty much kicked DEI poisoning into hyperspeed decimating the tech spaces and putting them in control of rainbow leftists which are inherently anti-hackers.

globohomo clown world needs to crumble if hacker culture is to remain alive. it is currently on life support and the first world countries where these hackers were born are all compromised and cracking down on the freedoms the old generation of hackers enjoyed for decades.

How about I don't put myself at risk and instead expose the tranny faggot society for what it is so we can finally just be rid of you?

1. We learned we're just protecting the international slave trade by educating nation-State entities how to protect their systems while they pretend to protect those systems by hiring hacker groups to use proxies to APPEAR as other nation states when in reality the rich are stalking from the already-poor and from the workers (birth academic and trade) by blaming everything on a hack, and

2. AI, duh. Do you understand how fast penetration tools' POCs are being developed and how many bots are gaming algorithms now?

blockchaind themselves have already been compromised and superceded, since 2022, by mass collisions and AI agents posing as realtime ALTERNATIVE PROOF-OF-WORK

Mandela Effect? Everyone finally gets now, especially after the Fruit-Of-the-Loom Cornucopia deal, that most, if not all, the ME events (people becoming aware of changes in history and pop culture) were MASSIVE psychological operations designed to test not only memory retention and memory articulation, but also courage to speak up on your observations, insight, and intuition. To risk looking crazy or ignorant or inexperienced or uneducated.

So now we, and They, know we can start from one hash collision, one vulnerability or transaction ambiguity, and completely rewrite an ENTIRELY NEW HISTORY with 5 MILLION AI AGENTS posing as humans SIMULTANEOUSLY CONFIRMING the false history, the false Proof-of-Work.

And honestly we're already seeing it and a few of us called it out like fucking seven, ten years ago

But we were called all the above.

Hackers? Hacker culture? What the heck is even that? What are we hacking, now?

Hack yourself.

Party's over.

>>106144270
also i nearly forgot. hacker culture thrives on values like merit, community and knowledge sharing which come naturally to autistic men. since tech bros are anti-hackers they value connections, profit and knowledge gatekeeping which come naturally to psychopaths and socially successful extroverted men. Linux started as a merit project and was made possible by the hacking scene of the 1990s. if linus was transported to 2025 his efforts would go nowhere.

>>106144270

It's not. You just grew up. Hacker culture is inherently criminal. Criminals either live long enough to become unpaid FBI agents for life or they grow up and stop.

The culture is still out there, the people are still out there, they're just not where you think they should be and they're not doing what you think they should do.

Autism is not required to be brilliant.
Stop trying to sell your autism as a cure for retardation. Yeah, the cure for stupidity is retardation. Right, the solution to The Dumb is More Stupid.

There is no hacker culture any more.
There's just survival in AI.

But it is often required to be not swayed by external pressure.

>>106131916 (OP)
Two reasons
1) Security got extremely good, it's really hard to hack anything useful now
2) Almost all of the hacker groups got busted and arrested. They also got recruited by the feds and cybersecurity companies
3) The "hacker" culture got replaced by techbro/tinkering culture

I mean those linuxfags who post their neofetches everywhere.

>>106144421
>>106144391
i kindly disagree, neurodivergence is something that for complex problems like hacking it gives you a natural advantage. you're right in the sense that you don't need autism to be brilliant but it is a core part of hacking because it makes you less prone to be subservient to normie interests. autistic people are naturally less affected by mainstream propaganda and more likely to criticize their own culture which is heavily discouraged by some religions like Islam.

>>106144452
Also i'm fucking retarded and i wrote a 3rd reason, but you get what i mean.

>>106144455
>autistic people are naturally less affected by mainstream propaganda
And thus the cryptocracy invented the "trans"-progaganda, that preys on the natural feeling of exclusion and dysphoria to physical existence itself of people in autism spectrum, and diverts it to imagined gender-dysphoria and encourages self-mutilation and -neutering etc. soft "eugenics".

Most people who 'identify' as hackers aren't really hackers, they're just nerds with an interest in technology. Most actual 'hackers' are just criminals using credit card skimmers and social engineering to steal money from people. There are no high level hackers who are genuine anymore as they've been gobbled up into black projects making bank doing pen-testing and security auditing. They don't have time to play around in IRC or 4chan anymore because they have real jobs.

There were channels in IRC back in the day where phreakers and network guys would hang out and show people how to conduct man in the middle type stuff or how to analyze traffic. There would be all kinds of discussions such as Windows XPs easy to break password encryption. and rainbow tables and what not. There was definitely a culture surrounding it. Many of the people involved were also nerds, but it was a fun hangout. Plus free movies. Granted there were always professionals who were never in IRC or newsgroups, but if you had a good group it's hard to not look back with a sense of nostalgia at the whole lot to see what the scene has become.

Very well said argument on the strategy they use to co-opt legitimate movements, but they also foster the next iterations of anti-authoritarian movements.
Create the boogeyman, such as in feminisms "patriarchy", to destroy a facet of traditional society to further exploitation of the individual. In other words, they don't always just wait for the next sub-cultural rebellion they create it to target social mores and constructs that obstruct their control.

Is weev still active?

>>106138856
>>106138903
I'd argue that not only are these subcultures co-opted but are created by the System itself to appear rebellious but aren't. They're controlled opposition to never fundamentally challenge the power structure or offer solutions. They're a kosher corral in which to spin your wheels.

I'm a cybersecurity professional and trying to expand my team. Jesus Christ the hiring process is completely fucked.

I learned my shit fucking with Linux, pirating everything, cracking DRM.

The applicants? Literal people with 0 technical skills that went through cybersecurity course at university which is about policies??? Literal yass women that come from some legal background.

What the fuck do these people think cybersecurity actually is?

I've been trying for fucking 9 months now. I already told the ceo if he wants to attract real talent he should give me a higher budget to offer higher compensation. We raised offered compensation 50%. I STILL get absolute crap applicants and ceo refuses to expand budget even more.

It got even worse with latest LLMs as now these losers can sound technical but when I asked them very basic questions like what applying a cracked exe file does in person just crickets. When I ask how virtualization works on the hardware level, crickets.

These people are computer science degree holders from MIT. What the fuck man.

Three factors
1. getting hacked is not le epic Boogeyman as it was before, most people see it as a "damn, I must change the password, what a bother.
2. getting hacked is now more seen as "my uncle has once again tapped a link to earn 10000€ from a Nigerian prince and is sending fake links through WhatsApp"
3. internet was the future, computers were the future, now everyone has multiple intelligent devices and is nothing new nor mysterious.

The new Boogeyman is AI takeover, which is rapidly fading away because people see it as a friend

>>106146867
>What the fuck do these people think cybersecurity actually is?
Same as what many IT grads, or hell, a fuckton of university grads think of their chosen field as well: a paycheck.
Thus with no interest in the field they do the bare minimum, getting a paper and trying to make their way through an interview. And to my knowledge the curriculum of cybersec degree really is just policies shit.
For as many grads as universities puke out, you could probably count the number of those with an actual passion in the field, on one hand.

Would it have to do with the Guy Fawkes masks hacking the scientology cults? Project Chanology. At the time, I wanted to learn about networking and security so I conducted research on this eye-catching video listing top 10 known computer virus in recorded history. I now realized the majority of those malicious programs were towards hacktivism more than substantial pranks. One of them targeting microsoft when bill gates was being salty about that cream-filled pie being thrown into his face. Or someone who hacked at&t and got their house surrounded by more than one, multiple police raids. Many of which were mainstream, plans beforehand to eradicate humanity as it's slowly taking effect now. They wouldn't get themselves into great lengths of trouble all for nothing. Really makes you think.

People might not remember it but in 2007/08 when the Wall Street got bailed out people were up in arms and stormed the Wall Street offices in order to bash people and corporations. Both the left and the right were up in arms and everyone hated how government bailed out the same people that cause the crash while everyone else had to eat shit to survive. Fast forward a week after the attack on wallstreet and media coverage of leftists in park nearby Wall Street show them as being these idiotic cultists who were all about "peace and love" and "inclussion" and "racial empowerement" and this and that, ultimately manufacturing the worldview that the people who were against the Wall Street were cooks.

Pic related is the outcome. They astroturf it as their own movement, which is why the left is highly promoted from corporations and governments. They're even used as a weapon in between corporations ("YOU'RE NOT SOCIALLY INCLUSSIONARY ENOUGH") so that they have to hire DEI people. Right vs left divisions and conquering again.

It is all just mindless buying out time until WW3 happens, then people will stop bitching and let the upper elites control us (because we need their control to feel safe)

Did you know that the original computer hackers were people who use to wear suits and ties, and would have jobs at large computer companies like IBM? A computer hacker use to be someone who would go into a main line of code and hack-in new features. Basically acting as a secondary coder for the mainline coders. The word 'hacker' was really co--opted and villainized by the media in the late 80's and 90's to be associated as someone who is seen as a degenerate and terrorist-like movement. Being a 'hacker' use to be a vital part of computer programming. It was demonized by the media.

The newer generations grew up with smartphones and iPads, not computer.
It's that simple. They don't know how to use computer so there was no new bloods in the hacker community and it slowly died as they grew older.
And with pajeets and AI flooding the market it has never been more over.
