I was a "member" of the cDc as a teen in the late 90s. they ran a bbs that was very much like this place. Nothing too nefarious went on there that I recall, or was privy to. They did circulate a program called Back Orifice which I had and used. It was a back door entry program into Windows run systems, ANY Windows run system. It was used to demonstrate how open and unsecured Windows really was.
