This is great! I wish I was doing this at 17 :).

I remember some of these .. Blippblopper tracks were easy to find in memory and rip too :)

Production is no problem for Amplitude Problem!

I keep them thangs on me when I move
You get hit with any payload that I choose
Got my eyes on them devices that you use
If I get my hands on 'em, you gon lose
if you ask why all my flash drives are by Hak5
You'll get baptized with rubber duckies but not the type you have when it's bathtime
If you pick one up when I pass by when I cruise, your computer's getting abused
When it calls back my C2
I solemnly swear I am up to no good
I do a drive-by checking ya wifi capturing packets when I'm ya hood
Walk through ya office I'm putting in drops sending back loot from wherever I could,
Passing back hashes from where they all stood, and if I crack 'em I'm harder than wood
You'll never catch me lackin', keep the tools on my side
And you'll always find me packin', when I move, when I ride
And you'll sometimes find me hackin', could be you any time
So it's best that you keep in mind

It ain't a game homey
You know what it do, me and you we're not the same homey
Always grip the tools, fire off and they go bang homey 
Always on the move, yeah you know I keep them thangs on me
I keep them thangs on me 
It ain't a game homey
You know what it do, me and you we're not the same homey
Always grip the tools, fire off and they go bang homey 
Always on the move, yeah you know I keep them thangs on me
I keep them thangs on me 

OMG cables, I keep 'em with me
USB A and the B and the C
When I swap 'em out you ain't gonna see it was me
You plug it in, now it's speaking to me
Turn on the logging on, now I'm peepin' ya keys
Ya file system ain't a secret to me
Watch me exfil the files where ya secrets would be
I'm a freak on them drives, got em C and the D
I keep them near on my waist
Now I'm hacking anytime, anywhere, any place
If you got yo wifi on, I got my gear on the trace
Watch me wigle to ya spot and appear in ya face
802.11 got me creepin' on you 
Suprise! Wouldn't wanna be in ya shoes
Cause why? You about to meet my C2
See my shells do what the beat 'bout to do 
They reversing
Access remotely when I hack you in person
Escalate upways, that's just for certain  
If you ain't update, patch all ya versions
Yeah, I got my love for my hot plugs
And I plug 'em in anything you ain't lock up
Watch you put in creds on the prompt when it pops up
Now your creds are mine, and I do what I want cause
You know I'm rockin' them thangs
Payloads go and I'm poppin' them thangs
No stoppin' them thangs, exploits rop with chain
Till the day that there's rot in my brain

It ain't a game homey
You know what it do, me and you we're not the same homey
Always grip the tools, fire off and they go bang homey 
Always on the move, yeah you know I keep them thangs on me
I keep them thangs on me 
It ain't a game homey
You know what it do, me and you we're not the same homey
Always grip the tools, fire off and they go bang homey 
Always on the move, yeah you know I keep them thangs on me
I keep them thangs on me 

I heard you had a knack
For catching attackers on your stack
Too bad I dropped a Pi
And spoofed your VOIP phone MAC
Connect back to my C2
Cause bad boys, what ya gonna do
With them thangs on us, we're coming for you

You know what it do, me and you we're not the same homey
Always grip the tools, fire off and they go bang homey 
Always on the move, yeah you know I keep them thangs on me
I keep them thangs on me 
It ain't a game homey
You know what it do, me and you we're not the same homey
Always grip the tools, fire off and they go bang homey 
Always on the move, yeah you know I keep them thangs on me
I keep them thangs on me 
We're not the same homey

It ain't a game homey
You know what it do, me and you we're not the same homey
Always grip the tools, fire off and they go bang homey 
Always on the move, yeah you know I keep them thangs on me
I keep them thangs on me

Them THANGS (ft. bash explode)

ytcracker - Dirty Code (Max James Remix) Ft. dnoiz

Before it was called "chiptune", we called it "music" because it was the way you made music on computers for games and demos. It wasn't a choice so much as a necessity due to limitations in 80s hardware.

Sure, soundtrackers using samples were starting to pop up but more so on the Commodore Amiga than the Atari ST, the latter not being able to do much else while its 8MHz CPU was tied up real-time mixing four channels of samples. (The Amiga had dedicated hardware.) At some point, we started calling it blip-blop to distinguish it from the growing sample tracker movement (and digidrum, which blended native YM2149 sounds with sampled drums as a performance/soundscape compromise).

This medley contains my five surviving blip-blop tunes from that era (when I went by 7an of Sync), as played back by the three-channel YM2149 sound chip. It heavily features the "envelope bass", a brutal beast of a sound that might be considered the Atari ST's most distinguishing one. It's a sound that was only invented toward the end of the ST's natural life. (You might say that the mighty 16-bit home computer is currently on extended life-support administered by a fanatic group of nostalgics, and I thank them for that.)

I did some mild mastering work on this medley and I think you'll enjoy the sound quality even (especially?) when you crank it up. You'll have to forgive the elementary melodies and chord progressions; I was 17 and couldn't write a hook to save my life. :)

Spamtec- Dead And Gone

(since when do buzzwords make you elite?)

(nerdy voice: I got my hypervisor web 2.0 ajax cross-site request forgery
working)

[verse 1]

too.. too.. 
too many buzzwords, black and white hat
too many hype jacking wannabe's at defcon like that (nerd: got root?)
too many white-fat industry pie-graphs
real hackers out hijacking your WiMAX

too much clique bullshit and politics
too many props for sites hit with javascript (yea I said it)
too much of the media acknowledges 
bull shit hacking perpetuating novices

too.. too..
too many phones wire tapped without impunity
too many granted retroactive immunity
too much peacocking in the infosec community
between kids comparing their favorite flavors of unices

too many hackers deserving adequate eulogies
forgotton or burnt reminiscing how it used to be
I dont let this type of shit get to me usually
I cant be complacent, I have to save it

[chorus]

This is your career on life support (whaaat?)
and we're not white hats tryin to write reports
any box can be popped with the right resource
so your threat model's worthless, NICE REPORT

We got your network on life support (yeyeaah!)
fuck your firewall tryin to hide your ports
we hop these through proxies to hide the source
so your packet log is nothing, NICE REPORT (NICE REPORT)

[verse 2]

open the mic wire, flip a beat to the speakers 
and watch me light fire, to this industry's 
hype whores and hype biters, reporters and type writers 
makin doc raid resort to blow torches and vise plyers 

spiked wire (shit!) c4 and battle axes 
put me on a keyboard to battle hax0rs 
sheepish and claiming beef, cattle hackers 
talk shit, get owned by me, and tattle after

the skills of the new kids? useless
exploits? they can't write their own excuses
just downloading sploits and rootkits
and now you think your worthy the status of dade murphy?

a ninja's not defined by his sword, of course
and theres more to a network than switch and a cord
so I retorte and ask an ego damaging question
how do you reckon you're elite merely brandishing weapons?

[chorus again]

[outro:]

Yeah! What up to Conkrete my producer, man, number 1 in the game.
This goes out to my crew SophSec, 
This goes out to Visigoth and all the Kenshoto
Man this goes out to Syncrew
This goes out to RFP, Toby, Sharky and Ap3
Starik, the 0x41 crew
I say what up to Sa7ori, Subrute, Fredrick Diggle, 
Doc Brown, @las, The Janus Group, 
What up to all my homies
Doc Raid, 2009 the World is Mine

[Nice Report!]

content distribution network in the fast lane
hood pope ordained - infiltrate a gateway
make a socket layer strip so these packets translate
