NOTE

Entering the Dark World of Hacker Chat Rooms on IRC in 2008

In an alt of Vista Search about hacking, finding a message board leads to hacker tools made by a certain group of people. These groups can be found on IRC, a chat room, which may be invite only. By noticing the person who denied access is also in another chat room, one can gain entry into hacker chat rooms.

Default found his way into the heart of it, and the world will never forget what happened then.
