Wow. I've just been reading the comments on this thread. I am blown away. It's been a long time since I made this doc (with a backpack, a hi-8 camera, no money and a borrowed edit suite). Thank you all for watching, commenting, and being so positive. I learned so much and made life-long friends along the way.
I didn't expect to see the creator of the documentary to comment, but that's how the internet works. Sometimes, it's like time doesn't exist. It was an amazing perspective on a snapshot of hacking in 90s, and how even though it's been 20+ years removed from when it was filmed, seeing the hackers from the 90s talking about the message boards from the 80s, there's still a lot to learn from the past. Thank you for filming this time capsule.
Annaliza - This was amazing to watch and relive those days. Any documentary that starts with Beastie Boys - Sabotage (and then plays it again), definitely understands those days. I remember the excitement about all those MOD/LOD activities and being nervous each time I bought a 2600 magazine. It was really cool to see the Lopht club house. You documented a piece of history and most people had misinterpreted. Would definitely be cool to do a 30 years later documentary. Showing Mitnick giving seminars and such…
@annalizasavage Where can I buy a high quality DVD of this? I watched this many times as a kid and I want to enjoy the moment again but YT has degraded the quality to an abysmal state.
I would absolutely love and would even pay to see this part2 interview all of the same people now 2018. Would be such a beautiful full circle. Lots of what the talk about is so relevant today it’s gold. Decentralized, legalities etc
Being H/P in the late 80s to mid 90s was so much fun. I had more phun phone phreaking myself. But there was sooo much to do and everything felt so anonymous in the 90s. My local area didn't even have caller ID till late 90s
I remember on my BBS back then the big deal was free Mitnik! Those were the days. We had war dialers working 24/7 gathering phone numbers and logins. 24 fucking 7. The phone co even shut down my phone line for 3 days to figure out what was happening.
notice the primary (sometimes even the only) vector for most of these scenes was either a landline telephone, or some type of phone company terminal. now with the "IoT" concept, that vector has expanded to...... everything
Forgot about redboxs you can still do phone tricks. If you play the numbers being dialed into a phone speaker it will dial the number without you pushing the buttons.

Great job anyway!

I AGREE ^!
@@L33TGUY I'm so glad this documentary I made is still being watched. It was an amazing time to be in the hacker space.
Please make a part 2
Wow. I’m a IT student currently, born in 2001. this feels so oddly nostalgic even though i never got to experience it. thank you so much for this film

I think this has something to do with getting older but I miss the old days.
80s/90s technology seems a lot cooler tbh. nowadays its all shiny and boring...
You may think you're cool, but nothing will ever be cooler than this!
The music is some classic 1990’s misunderstood cypher punk grunge. This is rad thanks for sharing
Alberto S it's beastie boys yo
Phiber optik and his group taught me how to do a little something back in the day. They had a website where I met them all. Good times I miss the 90s.

this is when hacking was magic!
Haha, changing the direction of the escalator. Classic.
Nice -- Count Zero in the background making sure that no funny business happens.

The Lopht was an early hacker space from the sound of it, cool.
Noah taught me to hack back in the 90s.
16:08 Hacker Jay and Hacker Silent Bob

@@lilmgn8582 dunno if ur joking but its a movie reference not their real names 😊

Phiber optik is basically the prototype of the Elliot alderson character in mr robot
Bad Ass! 90'zzzzzzz
Marc from MoD what a good guy

You could always do that.
Ss7 ftw! Softly str8 ripped this for 95 hackers.
When Noah's mom said she would have done anything to keep him out of jail she looked sincere... and it excited me.

Looks like Transmetropolitan
