Why'd You Join the EZ Forums? And how you found EZ ?

[proxx]

@ proxx
It's worth  the wait, isn't it ?

It sure is bro, good to be here.
Thats why we have so little skids, EZ can only be found by those that are ready.

Idk about that, it's preeeety easy to find. Just hard to fit in

As for me, umm well I was doing research and EZ kept popping up. Ebooks links, and some of the code stuff here, as well as that top 5 hacking sites (which I got to from looking up some cheats/help/whatever for Uplink?? internet...) and finally started browsing around, found what I liked, registered, and the rest is archived lol

he, you are one of those that EZ found, and not the other way around.

Good to see you around btw.

By complete accident, actually. EZ doesn't rank that high on search engines in general, sans a few notable exceptions (Game of Thrones and so on).

Either way, my interest in information security had rekindled during that time and I was on a knowledge binge. I really wanted to join a knowledgable and experienced hacker community, but I was dismayed at all the worthless information and premium skiddie crapware forums out there (I was a member of Ubers for four days before I got so disgusted at the sheer stupidity of its members that I left).

When I first saw the name "Evilzone", I thought "Great, another skid forum..." Thankfully, I decided to click on the link to the thread and the board theme caught my eye immediately, plus the topic replies were quite decent. The people knew what they were talking about. I read a few more threads and decided "This is it... this is the community I've been looking for," so I signed up and I've been active since then.

Perhaps the only other communities that stack up to Evilzone (that I'm aware of) are BinRev and The Ethical Hacker Network. However, the former is a bit too old-school for my tastes and the latter is too formal.

I don't regret joining here by any means

@Snayler and @geXXos : Guys a "Place Holder" means that I'll comment here but I don't have time to do that right now. When I'll have time, I'll edit this and post what I want to post.


Its a nice idea, isn't it?

Such threads bring tears of joy in my eyes

To contribute to this thread I'll post how I came to be here. I have mentioned it many times before, but here I go again.
I cannot remember exact years and dates when I joined so I'll omit those.

It was a period probably everyone went through, when they first came in contact with bypassing this and doing somewhat illegal (things they shouldn't be doing with computers) stuffs. Of course I had just enrolled in a new school more related to computing which was about 4 years ago, I received my first computer about 7 years ago but for few years I was only playing games... When I enrolled in a that school that was the period I somehow, can't remember how, became a member of hackforums, I was an active one there too. Can't bash the forum too much, it's where I began with all this.
The more I read and understood more things, the more I realize that hackforums is a bad place to be in.
Evilzone has existed for much longer before I even registered on hackforums but wasn't known that much and it was the period when evilzone was going through lots of changes with admins and conflicts and whatnot.
So, a year or two later a thread poped up on hackforums, it was by darkc0ke. He was assembling a team for... stuff. I was very active in that thread and got picked out for the team. Soon after the thread was closed, darkc0ke introduced me to a newly emerged forum, called 1nj3ct, that's where I first met my good buddies ande, IFailStuff, Satori, Hanorotu and others that are no longer active. As time flew by, I drifted away from hackforums and concentrated on 1nj3ct alone. I was made a moderator first and then an admin (or did I went straight to admin position? can't really remember).
The forum also had a great community which was really small for a long time, 1nj3ct period was the period I learned the most about where I should go next to grow but it wasn't long until 1nj3ct got closed down for reasons unknown, the forum lasted for about a year or two. It didn't come down tumbling down the hill, nope. It was rather a transition between 1nj3ct and evilzone of that time. Ande was an admin on evilzone (more or less) but had conflicts and stuff so he was one of the founders of 1nj3ct, when 1nj3ct was transitioned most of us fled to evilzone, the situation there has now cooled down. I met my good buddy Factionwars here when I first came as well.
I got this member position I am at now with time and since I joined evilzone few years ago (my account is registered in 2010 ) I never wanted to leave, it was growing big and strong ever since...
My experience was a colorful one

Gah, I dislike writing stories, I suck at writing stories :/
And I hope I didn't say too much in there, if any admins feel it was too much you can redact the story

[geXXos]

No that's a nice story Kulver, i like especially the responds from key/old members.
Thanks

I found EZ by accident i must say, it was 2011 when Alex P. aka netspliter aka no.1 cyber-enemy for FBI,Interpol etc. was arrested in Greece, it was big news back then,i red in a site about the incident, and how NS was caught by the police, and the conversation he had with another guy from Norway (no is not Ande neither IFailStuff  )in an IRC channel that lead to his arrest, and of course i found that this individual was the owner of some sites, including "evilzone.org" i found again the same article and the funny part is (which i didn't noticed back then) that has translated in Greek language a post made by another member here, that talks about NS. The post still exists here, as the member does ( though not so active ).

link?

I joined EvilZone on July 13, 2012, 10:00:42 pm, Which, incidentally, is Friday the 13th 

Anyway the whole story started this way, I was watching the news and saw in a slide that the website of Pakistan's National Highway Authority had been defaced by an Indian nicknamed, Ashell and belonging to a group called "Indishell." At the time the whole Pak-India cyberwar thing was on the rise. Me, being young, and silly, decided to go online and "hack" an Indian website in return. I googled stuff like, "How to deface a site" and other silly things that I regret now. Then, somehow, I came upon evilzone, through a list of "Top Hacking sites." It just, somehow got my attention. Anyway, I signed up, and the first thread I created was "How do you deface ****.gov.in?" Or something like that. I got bashed immediately by DeepCopy, but back then, he was known as Skidiot .h. After that, I decided to PM other people on tips on defacing websites. I must admit, I can imagine how stupid I must have looked back then. The first person I PMed was, Phage. Back then, he was known as Narraz. Anyway, he corrected my mindset and set me on the correct path. I must admit, I owe a lot to him. After that, my EvilZone journey has been on the roll. Signed up for the EvilZine project, got a good position in the community and got to know some staff, then got made a mod
Now, here I am, writing a post on how I came to these forums. Or is it, my entire Evilzone journey, in a few lines?
Heck.
I must say, Evilzone.org is the only forums I am active on and what I am on the Cyber world,, is because of Evilzone.
