The Legion of Doom (LoD) wasn\u2019t just a \u201chacker group\u201d, it captured the essence of underground hacking in the 80s\/90s. BBSes, phreaking, rival crews, and the crackdowns that changed everything. From those humble beginnings came a legacy that still echoes through modern security culture today.<\/p>\n

[START OF RECORDING]<\/p>\n

JACK:\tI want to play for you a narration of a piece of classic hacker literature. Everyone should be familiar with this. Some of you may even have parts of this memorized. Here, take a listen from the author himself.<\/p>\n

LOYD:\tAnother one got caught today that\u2019s all over the papers. Teenager arrested in computer crime scandal. Hacker arrested after bank tampering. Damn kids, they\u2019re all alike. I\u2019m a hacker. Enter my world. I made a discovery today. I found a computer. And then it happened; a door opened to a world, rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict\u2019s veins. This is it. This was where I belong. But this is our world now, the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt cheap if it wasn\u2019t run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals.<\/p>\n
