- The New Hackers
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Timmy was in a hurry. He weaved and ducked through the crowds of
- people littering the sidewalk as he rollerbladed to the meeting. Today
- would be great; he grinned in anticipation of the coming festivities.
- Earlier that week, he had thrown a party at his house, over his
- parents' protests. He invited several of his hacker buddies -- his
- "d00ds" -- over for a night of movie watching. He had rented all the old
- classics -- _Wargames_, _Sneakers_ and _Hackers_ -- from the laserdisc
- store across the street. His favorite was _Hackers_; the movie showed
- exactly what the life of a hacker was like. He wanted to impress the
- "eleets" at the meeting with his inside knowledge of the classic movies.
- As far as he knew, all the eleets had gotten their start in
- hacking when they watched the movies at an impressionable young age.
- He jumped a final concrete barrier and skidded to a stop at the
- July 1, 2011 meeting of the local "2600 klub."

- The eleets were impressed with Timmy's knowledge of the classics.
- They might even give him a handle so he wouldn't have to be known as
- "Timmy" any more. *They might even let me pick my own handle*, he hoped.
- "Y0 Timmy!" shouted St0l3n Phunds, the eleet bank expert. "Come
- show Monit0rhead how well you know _Wargames_."
- "OK. Ummm...'shall we play a game?'"
- "Kewl!" said Monit0rhead. "Do you remember how to get free calls
- from a payfone?"
- "Sort of...." Timmy racked his brain, trying desperately to
- remember how Matthew Broaderick had made a free call. Something to do
- with a paperclip. "Uh...you shove a paperclip through the part you talk
- into, right?"
- "I'm impressed," Monit0rhead told St0l3n Phunds.
- Enthusiastic over his lucky guess, Timmy said, "let's try it! I
- have a paperclip in my bag, and there's a bank of fones right over there!"
- The eleets had all quieted down suddenly at Timmy's outburst.
- "Hey man," one of them said, "are you stupid, or what?"
- "Dewd, you must be joking," said St0l3n Phunds menacingly. "Do
- you want to get busted or something? It's much too dangerous to try
- something like that! It only works in the movies anyway."
- Timmy knew that the eleet hacking tricks he had learned in the
- classics didn't work in real life any more, but the fact had slipped his
- mind. Nobody he talked to, not even the eleets, seemed to know how to
- hack in real life.
- He sat through the rest of the meeting feeling like he had eaten
- broken glass. The eleets all ignored him, and all the wannabes followed
- their lead, as usual. He had no chance of ever getting his own handle now.
- The meeting quickly broke up after a couple of hours, since
- nobody had anything to talk about other than the movies which most of
- them already knew by heart. H0nch0, for instance, had seen _Hackers_ 23
- times already, and he was only 17. Timmy watched as all his acquaintances
- rollerbladed away.
- He looked at the bank of fones, then remembered the paperclip in
- his bag. He also had some other metal things that he could try.
- Timmy walked to the fones and began his search for a new hack.
