Jchauncy, yeah I actually have the ticket stub right infront of me in my room with all the rest of mine. Show was only 2 years ago. Feb 23rd, 2007. It was with Slayer and I think one other band was supposed to show up, but ended up not. So it was just Unearth and Slayer.
I hear you,..
dial up days were fun. A simple 'atho' in a ping command would hang up most modems. Even after they patched against it,.. all you had to do was repeat the command in multiple requests to get the same effect. And if that didnt work,.. you just broke out your unix bot in what else,.. a C shell and let it do the work for you with much more bandwidth. IRC wars were great. A sysop would piss me off and I would take over the whole server owning every channel. He would ban my subnet and I'd bounce back in through another shell on a different class c and own it all over again. I had scripts for everything. When the port 139 OOB bug was first discovered was good times too. Used to be able to gain root to a shell by telneting in with any login over 256 chars,.. that would initiate the overflow stack,.. then you added a small bit of code with your desired login and pwd to the end of it,.. and by the time the server rebooted you had a nice unix shell with root access that you could telnet into and create as much havoc as you wanted all the while with complete anonymity because your IP reported you as being in Bangladesh somewhere.
