In one of my programming classes I watched a girl open edge, search bing for Google, then search Google for Yahoo, then search Yahoo for Yahoo Mail. It hurt my soul.
In the really early days a guy who loved trolling before trolling had a name had a link on his website that just pointed to the users downloads folder. Really freaked out some people that clicked on it.
I hung in a sysadmins channel on IRC. There was always a new bug/exploit. So many there was never a shortage of ways to lock up or break a windows installation. They would just post random links and hope someone clicked on it. I always used lynx to look at them. It was fun and no one considered at the time using them to steal or rip off people with them.
During in my data science master’s program, someone unironically sent me a localhost link to a Jupyter Notebook.
My localhost website was a pong clone that I ran out of boredom. Of course, it was name index html.

I made a Zip bomb, hid it, called it virus, and found the school OS reinstalled for what would have been a relatively harmless, and very basic trick.
zip bombs were not really thing back then. A fork bomb the was more common.
Idk, I did some dumb shit with a Zip file.
Oh sure but the first time I saw any mention of a zip bomb was after 2005 or so and the stuff I’m talking about happened around 1995 and 1996.
Oh, I was there at that time, sti in school.
Ah the good ol days of Active X. Could pull some pretty sick pranks back then.
