Im not ashamed to say that when I used to replace the amtlib file, I felt like Hugh Jackman in Swordfish.

I never needed shady .exe ‘s
I would just mount the ISO to a virtual drive, it was enough to trick 99.9% of games piracy protection.
Of course I had bought the CD and made the ISO’s myself just to avoid having to swap CD’s out, so it wasn’t really stealing.

Yeah I was big time “hacker” on AOL back in 1995 because I could use a “punter” to knock people off their 9600 baud modems. Which all that did was spam them with messages until they disconnected from timing out. Back then I thought that was “mad l33t,” which all I did was download some program off a shady website.

When they know nothing about technology.
Any amount of skill seems like magic.

Or games you currently own that you download hacks for to get around copy protection that kills your FPS.

Back in the late 90’s I had a job I had to ride the ferry to. I had my Mac Duo that I installed Lemmings onto but quickly realized it wasn’t the version I hacked.
So I open up Resedit and hack the game, no notes. It didn’t work. I tried again and the second time it worked. Couldn’t figure out what my first hack had changed until I finished the first level and the lemmings walked right in front of, and past, the exit. I had made it impossible to finish a level.
At least I was able to entertain myself for the ferry ride as I tried to figure out what I did.

This just happened yesterday in the office. Boss messaged me that they can’t access the NAS from the network and to fix it ASAP. Checked it remotely and it’s really offline. Went to the office directly in less than an hour after that, visually inspected and took pictures that the NAS is powered but the LAN LED is out. Checked the back ports and the LAN cable had gotten loose, plugged it back in and it was back to business as usual. I could have said it was some other shit that needs my bullshit arcane expertise and that’s why they keep me around but I guess I’m too old for that and told them what exactly happened. Sigh

Missing that kick ass song the crackers always came with. Those cracker composers were cooking back then, and more than just viruses.
