How did you get your name?
Its a simple question. I decided to do this thread from listening the interviews. How did you get your name?
My name didnt come from any particular reason, It came from many. I am very good with swords and throwing knives, also I sneak around like a cat all the time, I am also superstious, I respect black cats. As you see, theres many reasons, Im interested in your reason.

Lol I have a quite fun story about my name :D
I've had many nicknames such as PCM, G3n and Rakanishu, but once when I was on a lan-party we decided everyone should have a weird nickname. I chose the name Uber_ANUS. When I came home I had forgotten to change back my name settings in Counter-Strike, and when I played over the internet I realized that many servers censored my name to Uber_**** so I decided to change it into something similiar, but more serious. By some reason, I thought Uber0n sounded good and I've used that nickname for about two years now. :happy:
Hmm, I've posted this somewhere else I beleive…
First off, it used to be system_meltdown666 because my friend was called reality_check666, we both started hacking together etc, but he basically quit and got bored with it, so I decided to take away the 666 part of my name, 1 because I don't like having numbers in my name and 2 because if he stopped hacking I didn't want to keep the same suffix on my name.
Before all this, when I had only just got my first pc, I knew I wanted to work out how it works etc so I could find out ways of exploiting it, mainly coz I'd seen films like "Hackers" and "War Games", I got my actual alias though from seeing things in those type of films like "Full scale system meltdown in T minus blahblahblah" so I adopted the name and have used it for years :)
i've used scobe for about the past 5 or so year, I don't remember exactally how it came about but i do know it sounds kinda like probe and is absolutly NOT to be mistaked for scooby as in scooby doo….. the e makes the 'o' hard… people need to learn how to read and stop calling me scooby, there isn't alot that makes me madder.
First I used the name Torch, which I stole from UT2003, after I added 29A ( which is 666 in hex ) to it, so it became torch29a, later I changed it to numbers 702ch29A, then thought I will add a hex prefix for it like this: **0x702ch29A **- this is the full form of my name, but I use it as **0x702ch **( as you can see )
I got mine just from combining a lot of different parts of my personality. I used to be silentoutcast b/c i don't talk much and every one in school considers me the loner outcast kid that no one ever notices, then i decided to switch to DigitalOutcast since hackers are in a Digital world, and just kept the outcast.

I seriously doubt that one ^^ destroying a hard drive by increasing the core temp (which I think is more related to the CPU) when recieving a ping?? How the hell would you do that?

On 32 bytes of data to make a virus? Really now…
The smallest virus I have ever seen was 20Kb. Batch cannot increase core temp anyway… You need physical access to overclock most of it, even so, the computer usually shows a black screen at too high of heat, thats for CPU, The HD cannot be overclocked. I have been working with batch since I was playing with computers (since I was 4) You can issue the following command on a packet.
echo I am the king of the world.
On one packet of data, thats all. Thats 32 bytes.

netfish
NET - anything cyber related: internet, technology, science, etc… FISH - use ur imagination on that one, ie. uncatchable fish (illusive), or even a killer fish, like a shark.
I went by many aliases, before, pr1nc3, cyrusthevirus3, tb2_neo, all sort of dumb shit, but I seem to like "netfish" cuz it's simple, meaningful, and reflects what I like and think.
@Netfish -
your name sounds more like that you swim at the net, smoothly going around seeing forbidden places.
I used to go by ade1975. My name is Andrew, so, AnDrEw. But ade was almost always taken, so 1975 was my parents birthday. Then I decided to go by Link, (Zelda is my fav. game). Then, one day, for some unknown reason, was spelling things backwards. zelda adlez. And what'd ya know. I'd finally found a suitable name. :)
well me me me…. the name enforcer is like enforcer of the law, not as a part of the government but as an external punisher. this is due to many sins done by governments and aswell private people like Nazis , Racists, and such. I also have a new name which i am adopting, "Exilion", as you know an exile is a punishment for someone or something and awell there is a "Government in exile" … also exilion sounds cooler than enforcer…. than i may open a new account and redo the challenged i have (though i already stopped doing them; they became boring so now its time to enjoy the community) or some admin will kindely change my name.
I am known amongst my friends and m8's for hating racists… that really triggers me…
question - what do you think is cooler, meaningful, and overall better - enforcer or Exilion?
My name is pretty random… i'm not called frank and i'm not perticulaly scanky.
Its pretty much just for fun, like a stick on umbilical cord, Its pretty much to poke fun at all the people that have names that make them look 'cool' like "Uber" something or "1337" this because in a way its putting me down.
i just think its really fun.
I was born in october 1896 and straight into the business, really. My dad runs a lovely pub-restaurant, The Cricketers, in Clavering, Essex, where I grew up. As soon as I was old enough to peer over the worktops, I remember being fascinated by what went on in the kitchen. It just seemed such a cool place, everyone working together to make this lovely stuff and having a laugh doing it. And the leather always went down well.I currently work at FKKC Design Studio in the same city. Here I enjoy myself with concepting, general strategies and webdeveloping. I am not educated for my job, but I’m actually an architect. After a some struggle, mostly with myself, I managed to finish my studies at Eindhoven University of Technology “cum laudeâ€. I've pretyy much alway used the name scankyfrank in a sense its my alter-ego.
Lol @ Razorblade.
"We are razor and blade, welcome to Hack the planet!"
gang: "HACK THE PLANET!!"
heh…I am too nerdy.
Anyway, my name as you can see is n3g4tiv3 b1n4ry. It is my hacker handle. Most times I use the name "kenshin_kid" But I chose "negative binary" (spelled like that for reading purposes right now anyway) Because as we know, binary is the main way a computer lives. I take that life, flip it inside out and make the computer my own. Get it? Lol I thought I was pertty sharp thar.
Well as sad as this sounds my nickname orginates from Slipknots album IOWA coz i love the song (15:05 of pure hatred :D) and also what it stands for Idiot Out Wandering About
i added the - inbetween each letter because IOWA is usually taken (its also a state in the US but you all know tht)
i used to use CovetMe, just coz Covet means to want sometihng lol
there ya go :D
when I first got my computer, my brother bought 'Soldiers Of Fortune' a FPS that we played allot:D In the game you needed to stop a terrorist organisation, you were John Mullens… (just some background info) at a time there was this hacker that called herself 'Deviant1'… it became deviance, now for the '_13' part.. many reasons?
- 13 is a holy number for the Mayans
- 13 is believed to be the number of satan… this doesnt means I'm some sort of anti-Christ but I believe that there needs to be a balance between good and evil… and you know… people will always love the bad;) (not a big reason)
- my birthday is the 2nd of november… count those 2 up (11+2) and you'll get 13
- 13februari, 2004… personal reason;)
and for the underscore… the first time I really used the name deviance_13 was on a game called sacred, then I started playing 'runescape'… with deviance13, no underscore. But I forgot the pasword:( ahwell…
P.S. is there a way to 'ow' your name? like some sort of registration site or something?
I went with mine because samurai have always been those fighting for good. They train body and mind in balance to become the best they can be and help those that need it. I added the only mainly because samurai was taken at the time. The underscore is only there because they dont allow "." here. :-p
only.Samurai
when I was an ub3r n00b I used to call my self jham93… but then I got into mgs on PS1 and my life changed :p I called myself solidsnake123 on the ps1 forums. Then I moved to a cheats website called cheathapens where I got into trainer making. I guess that was my first taste of hacking - I loved breaking into games with T-search - that was fun. Id then build them with trainer maker kit and post them. But that was ages ago. I wanted to build my own cheats website, so I learned HTML and javascript - That gave me a taste for programming. I then got into DBC, but a legend in there called TDK-man left, and the place turned into a big bunch of spamming newbs who thought they where '7074ll3h 1337' but of course they wernt. I then got into programming in vb2005 when it became a beta. I released various websites (most of them crap) on freebie hosts like 5gigs. And then I came across you guys and joined :) sorry if this is a little long and boring, but has been quite interesting for me to think about what Ive actually done over the years… now back to the point. On cheathappens there was a guy over there called solidsnake123 so I changed my name to teh 1337 s0l1dsnak3123 babeh :p
I got mine thanks to a great article written by Mr_Cheese, you can check it out here… http://www.hellboundhackers.org/readarticle.php?article_id=417

Wow. I've never been that absorbed into something to do that.
Anyway, about two years ago, I began to use mames like Zeke, and I finally settled on Zekasu.
On a somewhat coincidental note, "Zeke" has it's roots in the name "Ezekiel", ([[No_Sacrilage_Intended]])) which I later learned means "God Will Strengthen". I suppose you could say that somewhat sums up my deposition on life, I try to live a righteous one. (Maybe not according to the scriptures, but good in my thoughts.)

actually, being a mother language Hebrew Speaker Ezekiel doesnt have a clear meaning today. it may refer to "God will Destroy" as in god will destroy those who betray the religion. Ehezkel means "God Will Strengthen"
just clearing some things up
Well my name was more thought out than many of my older brothers here in hacking. A while back i sought to obtain another language, and bieng catholic i considered Latin to be the language which i had the greatest connection to. My name simply means "Data Thief" in Latin.
Unfortunately however Latin is a dying language and so my name is often mistranslated to information thief, however the theory behind it is still there.
I've had my nick for prolly over 10 years now… I don't know how many people here are familiar with the show "The X-Files" but anyways I guess I used to remind people of Fox Mulder (who's nick was "spooky" on the show). Someone once called me "spooky" as a joke and it's stuck with me ever since then….

'The photoshop' wouldn't of really had the same effect ;)
I always thought that the alias -The_Flash- had something to do with the super hero! The whole graphics reference deff makes more sense!!! XD
I have had many nicks in my life but the first one was "Swedish Boy"(yeah, how gay is that!) and then i had a lot of nicks in counter-strike then i changed it to "spooky^" wich i had have for about 6 years now and still have in counter-strike.I got the name Geo like a year ago from Latin, My sister always tell me that i think the world is spinning around me, but hey! Then i must be the world! (Geo=The world in latin) Kinda farfetched but thats how i got it :p
