Public network shares, cain&abel, learning about NTLM downgrading and well, these were the days when Wifi was "new" and wireless B and G was considered wow, 54mbps.

Back then, everything really felt like magic.

Old netsend trick, pre windows xp SP2.

There were enough stories at this time online that I knew it was best to say nothing. Did nothing bad, just explored, learned quite a few things and well was surprised how really easy it was to do things.

Nowadays, I feel kids won't/don't get that chance to explore - which is sad. Internet is curated through apps and "enagement" user experience and cloud services/SAAS.

Maybe they can spot a lifetime link to a google sheets master password document. ;)

Netsend made me feel like a true spooky wizard. It bums me out to see how much of our computing has moved north-south.
