I also remember finding out about scripting with either VBScript or JScript (which was different from JavaScript).

Shortly after, I discovered that there's a function capable of listing folders and files from the visitor's hard drive. No permissions needed. The browser just had full access to the hard drive.

Naturally, I wrote a script and loaded it on the homepage of my website. The goal was to save, on a file, the contents of visitors hard drives' contents.

For some reason that never worked. But yeah, the internet back then was a very scary place.
