I have somehow found myself doing a lighthearted talk on retro hacking this Wednesday. Would anyone here happen to know anything about it?

    It was extremely easy to send a trojan file to a friend and if they would open it and you happen to know its IP you could remote do things like open its CD drive and at the same time have tons of malware in your PC but it was all worth to see them in the next day saying that the PC went abducted by aliens

      At my fist big boy job my dad sent me one that locked out my keyboard and mouse then cranked the volume to 100% as it yelled “hey everyone, I’m watching porno over here” followed by a super loud moan. It was a quiet call center too. That moment still haunts my dreams.
