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.

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.
