Which is true, so the distribution of the software cracker would have been fairly limited I would have thought.
Sneakernet was common also. Say you have a class of 30 kids, and one of them has access to Usenet to grab qcrack.zip. He'll put it on a floppy disk and share ;)
yeah, software travelled exactly the same way as rumours that such and such had a rib removed - remarkably effectively.
Also the same way we got viruses, long before anyone I knew had the Internet.
Haha, I remember that rumour being told to me by classmates back in the day. Great example.
Hells yeah qcrack.zip
BBS, zmodem
I was 12 years old and had qcrack on a floppy from a buddy. Everyone had it. Didn't even have to have internet.
