Hello HF,
How's life been for everyone? I haven't been active here for about 6-7 years and I'm considering coming back since I am nostalgic for the old days but I also understand that they will never come back. I joined HF when I was about 14-15, and now I'm 30 and had no clue how much of an impact this community would have on my life.
I initially joined in order to 'lrn2hack' (lmao). I learned how to use Havij, learned about shells and of course social engineering. Around the time I stopped participating here, I started working for HostGator where I became a "Linux Security Engineer" before they got bought out and I went to IBM Cloud (SoftLayer at the time). Working there, I learned all about network engineering, software engineering and general systems engineering during the 'cloud boom' when only Amazon and Google were major players. IBM bought SoftLayer and I got to witness the RAPID deployment of a cloud platform on top of the core SoftLayer API and was in awe at the efficiency of the development teams working on the projects. Then IBM bought RedHat and I got to work with some of the most technologically advanced people I've ever interacted with. After leaving IBM, I now work at Mimecast and get to answer a ton of noob questions regarding SMTP and social engineering to people who make much more than I do >: [
I doubt many people here are from my era, but how's yall's lives going?

I’ve got my priorities straight now. But everyone is unfortunately against me due to my actions in the past when I was addicted to hard drugs. So I’m forced to spend everyday mostly alone.

I can relate for sure! I have a good job and everything I need but at the same time I am not quite satisfied with life currently. I'm hoping to do more if I can maintain focus though.

Thank you! And it is interesting, but pretty mundane nowadays :[

its alrightt thanks for asking :33333333333333
I'm kind of the same ish, we might even remember each other, but I'm having a hard time placing your username. I was a moderator for a few months between 2008 and 2009, and was active from about 2006-ish to 2009. I've been on here a handful of times since then, but I'm back now for kinda the same reasons. My username back then was Psinetic.
Think critically and perhaps you'll be critically thought about.

I've had this username for a while now, but I was previously either known as "Kanoshen" or "Ryujin", pretty sure I used a few variations of the latter. I used to be a member of The Alliance but was never a moderator anywhere :P

nope, neither of those names ring a bell to me. Then again, I'm pulling off of information from a REALLY long time ago. There are only a handful of members I remember clear as day. Php, Nyx, Crow, and a few others.

Pretty good but also so mundane :[
After the whole pandemic deal, I really don't get out enough anymore but otherwise I'm not complaining! I do enjoy the whole working remotely thing :P
Life is good for me :) going to work at about 4 today
