hey, im cracksman

[cracksman]

why am I posting an introduction so late? well, things change lol.

so im cracksman. I originally chose my name because I wanted to get into cracking software and making keygens. that didn't really work out lol.
I think my intro into the "scene" in the early 2000s, I had probably caught a computer virus and went searching for "win32.sub7". lo, and behold I found the most interesting piece of software I had ever laid my eyes on. I think the forum was called sub7legends, mobman had already vanished and it was just a group of guys supporting the forum. anywho i made some really good friends back then. fastforward a little and i found unkn0wn which was a pretty rad place, that forum eventually died and i think hackhound kinda sprung up from there?. last but not least I created an account on opensc (in 2006)! many forums were springing up and dissapearing but OpenSc was a pillar that could not crumble. it was the pennical of "the scene" for me. then the day came when lttcoder (founder of opensc) retired . it was a sad day and Opensc has never been the same since. it was still a pretty cool place though, it took many years before it slowed down and grinded to a halt.
i never really coded before i joined opensc, so my early posts here are all dumb questions, but i never gave up. I setteled on a language (delphi) [kinda wishing i had chosen C now lol]. anywho i got real good and did a bunch of stuff, became a moderator, then admin(!) for a while the forum had a rough couple of transitions with admin/mods and when the new guys wanted to open a blackmarket i demoted myself and hit the road. I still poke in every so often, but its sad to see such low levels of activity . i really hope there will be a new wave of activity that refreshes the scene. recently ive been looking into machene learning (thats pretty cool stuff!), but im also teaching myself C++ from scratch which sucks. i work just short of fulltime and im also back in college, so im poor and tired and would rather sleep than code, yup, thats me cracksman.

Osc have the kingpin of the scene, I'm not even 2000. But I remember lulzforums, fullyundetectables and hotlinks with stealers for steam stuff. Learnt here to respect to others and lessons in my life (27y.o).
