I remember - Dual Core (NIGHT-VISION HYPERTRAP REMIX)

the internet is dead and we killed it

i'm fascinated
electrons in this package have aligned themselves to fool me on a daily basis
tensors and transformers in these metal cases
auto posting content in our favorite spaces
the ai agentic
nonrepudiation ain't a question bout who sent it
gotta pass the turing test see who's the best who will invent it
buried deep under a mountain made of silicon and granite

"Immagina di essere all'interno di una gabbia: essa può essere enorme, immensa, di miliardi di chilometri quadrati, oppure stretta pochi metri. Ma il tuo potere su te stesso resta identicamente assoluto: solo tu puoi decidere cosa fare o non fare, non importa quanto larga, o stretta, sia la tua gabbia. Se poi inserisci le interazioni nel quadro, ecco che ciò che decidi di essere e fare influenza inevitabilmente tutto ciò che hai intorno. Come esempio pratico: nei lager c'erano prigionieri che diventavano ostili e approfittatori verso altri prigionieri, peggiorando la loro condizioni di vita. Altri prigionieri invece si aiutavano a vicenda, pur nei margini minimi di cui erano capaci. Gli uni e gli altri creavano, attorno a sé, diversi contesti con diverse probabilità di sopravvivenza. Persino in una condizione miserevole come quella, creavano condizioni di vita per se stessi migliori o peggiori" Stefano Re

Halt and Catch Fire, indicato con la sigla mnemonica di HCF, è un'istruzione fittizia del linguaggio assembly - intesa prevalentemente come uno scherzo - che è stata usata per definire istruzioni solitamente non documentate che portano la CPU in uno stato da cui può essere fatta uscire solo con un reset.

Solitamente con la sigla HCF si descrive una o più istruzioni non documentate presenti in molte architetture e utilizzate per poter effettuare agevolmente particolari test durante lo sviluppo dei prodotti, ma che non sono da utilizzarsi nella normale operatività.

00:00:00. Un silenzio irreale cala sulla Città. Poi, come una marea crescente, il caos inizia a diffondersi. I server si spengono, le connessioni si interrompono, le informazioni vitali scompaiono nel nulla. Le grida di allarme e disperazione si mescolano al crepitio dei sistemi in sovraccarico.

L’Impero di Silicio inizia ad implodere, pezzo dopo pezzo, byte dopo byte. Osservi compiaciuto. È lo Zero Day, e con esso la fine di un’era.

«ho vagato, inciampando, sanguinante attraverso un groviglio di tubazioni deformate, gusci arrugginiti dimenticati e armi abbandonate, fino a che il buio è scomparso ed è giunta la luce. non la bluastra, pallida luce artificiale, ma la calda e morbida carezza della luce solare, così bella nel suo splendore d'oro che sembrava rendere viva la mia carcassa bionica in frantumi. Ora Entra nel mio Mondo» Akira Basho

Enter My World

lyrics: https://genius.com/Ytcracker-except-crime-lyrics

ytcracker feat. dnz - except crime

pull the hammer back and i'm letting these bullets blast bytes from the breadboard
sanded off a trace so i'm soldering a copper wire baked with a lead core
straightening bent pins with a needle nose weapon got precision on the measurement
coordinated with my hand eye watching me supply all the hoes that i'm pleasuring
sine waves scrolling on the screen clock a phase lock loop
got that range block scooped with an EQ plates you can see through layers of the circuit
mounted on the surface - sit chips with a purpose picked and placed in a matrix
shiny black squares they're bathed in epoxy make the silicon look faceless

polarized lens on the camera diffusing my teardown
every time i bear down pins on these debugger pads i hit their ass with a (stair) down
j-link authentic cause a nerd made of money and my daddy jeffy b keep the lab stocked
all my soldiers in the shipyard ripping on them chips hard secure with the padlock
and i'm /flipping/ - switches - a microcontroller mage making fire bolts
and i /whisper/ - glitches - to the pins on a quad flat package that is eating five volts 
setting sail on the power rail bus pirate in the playground
and you know if that throw is an active low then that whodi gonna stay down

hackers consider me the plug all because yt he got what the hood need
all the embedded knowledge got it bundled in a book that was written by the goodspeed
they'll tell you to remember where you came from if you're ever caught up in the rat race
openocd and the gdb got me stepping through the backtrace
i drift - my bronze-colored wick - all across the chips and across the wiring 
flux bubble up and it dissipates once i apply that soldering iron
listening to the sizzle it's a symphony of circuitry sound mang
and my multimeter makes music when i meddle with the probes on the ground plane

read and beware of the checksum checking on an even or an odd bit
bitmagic if you bought it analyze the logic
break app protector inject a sector on flash when my rig drop
get that pitch connector to siphon nectar off the ribbon with the sigrok
3d printed an enclosure puffing on the doja filing down the plastic
i'm prototyping these hoes are biting my sauce iconoclastic, classic
clearing off my desk and i'm sitting here thinking on the people that i bled for
put the cover back i'm not letting any pussy push pins in my breadboard

ytcracker - breadboard

Produced by Heath Stone

Ghost in the machine, it's a ghost of me
I been runnin and chasin that dopamine
Couple of websites hostin me
Like a parasite your servers are host to me
and a couple of shells that I wrote in C
Buildin my botnet potency
Expanding my network globally
Other hackers thinkin locally
I'm from a different time where we did this shit for fun
Where we'd pop one shell just to pop another one
Now the kids all tryna be on top of hacker one
But they got no idea how their tools even run
Like "Why ain't it work I ran dot slash hack"
"Real cool tool, is there a gui for that?"
"I can't even find any apps to attack"
It's about time we take hacking back

[x2]
It's about time we take hacking back
Hacking back, hack hacking back
It's about time we take hacking back
Hack, hack, hacking back

I remember the days, I was surfin Zone-H
Check the home page for another deface
Nothing but notepad, wrote my own page
Those were the days of the cyber stone age
Before OffSec ran the exploit database
If you want to get the latest milw0rm is the place
Then you segfault, sigterm, ptrace
Til you find the bit of code that they left out of place
I'm from a different time where we didn't use our names
Where we did this shit for fun not just tryna claim the fame
Now the kids all complain that they gotta use their brain
If the exploit chain harder than their video game
I don't blame 'em though, it accelerated quickly
It's others from my time that got me feelin prickly
Cause they're selling y'all courses and lessons and lying
Like they found an easy button, just ninety nine ninety nine
fuck em

Hacking Back

Turbo-charged blast of rave nostalgia, GOT ME is hacker-core warehouse music built for strobe-lit dance floors and late-night terminal screens. A chaotic nod to 90s UK raves.”

Got Me

Computer Man

if u listen closely, u can hear me running out of breath each bar

------BEGIN TRACK--------
wake up in the morning feeling like 0xslayy
new 0day im out the door ready to pwn these servers 
pull up to the con infecting hdds
pull up my hoodie and yk im not coming back
im talking pedicure on my keyboard
stickers on my laptop
when the wiretap comes all they hear is white noise
and im repping ae (anti extort)
on irc is where youll find me

dont stop kernel log 
let them packets fly nonstop
sql table get them dropped
snake no longer fucking talks
shoot blindly catch a opp
middle fingas to the cops like oh oh

La mia contronarrazione artistica è un collage sbagliato. Sbagliato per i tonti. Una ferita aperta per la Silicon Life Society, fatta di mashup video, composizioni musicali, racconti che non finiscono, immagini rubate, suoni distorti. Non è arte. È un Gioco di Ruolo. Un Hacker Game. Taglia e cuci, vomita e incolla. Prendi la realtà, remixala a 160 bpm, e guarda come cambia. https://bzakirasantjago.blogspot.com/2025/06/hacker-game-bz-akira-santjago.html

Hacker Game

we are vulnerable
find a weakness and exploit it

you already know
squad up in the bootloader bitch keep score
look around the repo
see what we gon find in the code
you can watch us grind while we dine on our foes (foes)
finding all these holes in the fabric
not enough moth balls plugging up the rop calls
holler at the homies if the box stalls
process jockey playing nice if the top falls

can you fuck with us?
can you deploy toys rubber duck with us?
can you destroy noise on a NUC with us?
more importantly can you make a buck with us? (hmm)
i look into the tea leaves reading
see a bunch of CEOs with their company believing
they ain't needing any coders on staff did the math
so i hack all that vibe coded crap and i laugh they saying

you already seen
me bubble up the deep web underworld and then escape clean
fuck you mean i got haters every corner of the cube
i been swimming through the doo doo ever since i was a noob
with the formula gnu and improved
future generations study how a warrior move
which tools does a warrior use well let's see
backpack full of goodies black hoodies and jeans (hmm)

precursor in the pocket (pocket)
field programmable gate array ain't no way you can stop it
everything that i early adopted 
it take off just like a rocket so you better go cop it
vape clouds cover up the screen
see the green text bleed through you be seeing how we do
dashboard showing crash lore on the fuzzing
what you know about that F5, cousin (cousin)

ytcracker - we are vulnerable

ХАКЕРВЗЛОМЩИК ДЕЛАЛ ЭТО ПОДПИСЫВАЙТЕСЬ НА ТИК ТОК - ХАКЕРВЗЛОМЩИК

ТЮРЯГА ВК #ВКОНТАКТЕ (prod. nastyhuh)

I promised Cannibal I'd do a song for the Subnet Project at Defcon 33. I subsequently forgot I made that promise and found myself in a panic, not sure what I would do. I had this instrumental on my phone because I really like it and I wanted to do something on it, so I decided I would do this. I wrote and recorded this whole thing in a little over a day, so I said some absurd shit. Enjoy.

This beat was originally produced by Q-Tip, with some Eminem touches.

I aint ever stopping winning I can’t ever stop the hacking 
It is only the beginning you won’t ever catch me lacking
In these messages I’m sinning but the audience ain’t acking
And my girl is always grinning cuz she always a syn-ack and

I got gold around my neck from all this phishing I been doin
All this living you been viewin I got something bigger brewin
Got you wishin you could do it but you bit and you still chewin 
Now you pissed that you can’t spit half the shit that I been spewin 

Call me Tim Berners Lee the way I’m racking up the dubs
Back to back to back and I’m stacking up the bugs
Then I’m smacking all you scrubs destroy everything you love
I ain’t ever pull a punch, I don’t need a boxing glove

I am Tyson in his prime I’m like Mike up in the lime light
Before he threw that fight with the brother of the Prime guy
But me I am that write a rhyme about a cyber crime guy
every computer that I’ve rooted always seem to turn a blind eye

Indisputably saluted, I’m the best to ever do it
I'm impossibly suited to root anything that's booted
Then I loot it and pollute the logs of everything intruded
Operation is concluded before you even start pursuing

Then I'm cruisin down the information super highway
Abusing anything that's moving in your whole supply chain
The way I'm using keys like I'm tryna apply for Steinway
I'm just tryna hit another 50K Friday

I stay screamin hack the planet since back -- in 95
Somewhere along the way I got trapped in a 9 to 5
Started dreamin up these rhymes just to try n survive
Now I’m schemin up my best life just tryna decide

Which job should I take which steak should I eat
Which beef should I make, mistakes on repeat
I'm always uppin the stakes man you couldn't compete
Rapped a TCP handshake to murder this beat, I'm elite

Some say the leetest but I really am the sweetest
An extremist on the beat the way I eat it and excrete it
Meet and greetin your whole fleet and then delete it
Won't believe it I deleted the complete list I mean I hope you don't need it

But I really think you won't I turn your host into a ghost
Your lambdas they won't invoke, and replicas won't promote
The machines don't even POST I mean the whole rack is smoking
The technicians all choke as they try to diagnose 

It's time to sacrifice a goat to the God in response
Your request is denied and the cloud starts droppin bombs
Your pods can't turn the tide and every instance spun up dies
First I hit a lick and then I quickly hit my stride

You wanted Dr. Jekyll, your insurance was declined
Surprise it's Mr. Hyde here to trample your designs
I took a look at your controls and apparently you lied
Now I've got you in a bind and your C-suite has resigned

You might as well quit while you're ahead I mean behind
But at least you were committed and your q3 goals defined 
You just never were permitted to do half the things described
So you had to counterfeit it, all these documents complied

But I rock em sock em SOC II in the ring like I am Rocky
I am cocky but I talk the talk I walk the walk, can't stop me
Like I'm rapping at like mach 3 while your docker is still docking
I'll take the win you take the L oops your windows are all locking
