    We know, bruh. I was one of the “young’uns” booting y’all offline & getting unlimited minutes with script kiddie ass tools all those years ago when I was 6 or some shit. AOL had basically no security and I had a lot of fun playing special sounds recorded on a cassette tape and watching the computer do basically whatever the hell I wanted. Really, the only shit that I didn’t get to experience first hand was the Free Kevin movement which I took inspiration from.

      Kevin Mitnick! He died last year… Whistle F to pay respects. He was an early practitioner of SIM cloning, which is an even bigger deal today because criminals can do it to receive people’s two-factor authentication codes and then get into their bank accounts, etc.
