Hacker Typer

[SamWhited]

In school I worked as an intern for a U.S. defense contractor (which I feel rather bad about now, but that's neither here nor there). Every now and then some important general or captain type would show up for a meeting and walk around and look at what all the various labs were doing. When they came to the room where all the interns sat we would all pull up hacker typer and just furiously type away while they were looking in the door.

The important person would always be very impressed and say what a good job we were doing, and our boss who was showing them around (and knew exactly what we were doing) would have to nod and sweat bullets and then would get furious with us afterwards (but it was worth it and we did it every time we knew someone was coming to do an inspection).

Ahh, I used to queue this up on another screen when I needed things to look "busy":

    cat /dev/random | hexdump -C | grep 'ca fe'

Note that it runs a lot faster now than it used to in the 90s.

I have always wondered if anyone used it in a "real life scenario". This was hilarious, thanks for sharing :D

[siamese_puff]

God damn that is funny

LPT : If you are using this website to hack the FBI or whatever, don't forget to triple press SHIFT and to triple press ALT :)

I knew about this website for a long time, but I just learned about this easter egg!

[nneonneo]

On mobile, so I can’t try this - what does this do?

[scudsworth]

super cute, haha. mac keyboards hit OPTION (⌥) btw

Fun fact, the site fetches the textfile from the server at '/kernel.txt' and stores it in the browser local storage.

The code is obviously from the Linux kernel, specifically managing group memberships and permissions for processes.

[BoppreH]

The file is groups.c from the Linux Kernel, circa sometime before 2015: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/8f6c5ffc8987f4f5b5a3e...

ahhah, thank you

this code appears in the loading screens for the new game "forever winter"

I was wondering if it was from the game or not, so it seems not!

[dev-jayson]

I only have 3 minutes to hack into the mainframe.

Two people typing on the same keyboard can help speed things up.

My man!

I'M IN!

One of the first computer fair I went when I was about 12 I saw a guy demonstrating a software called Sued (Deus (God) backwards). The guy would ask the computer questions about the person he was showing the software to; questions like: what is the color of the hair on the girl next to me? And the computer would answer. Amazing! Later on I figured that while you type the answer the computer would show the beginning of a generic question, character by character. Even more amazing!

[atum47]

Just found out that somebody made an online version of it.

https://suedoraculo.com.br/

The key is to type ; before and after the answer.

The version I saw those years ago leaned on the god backwards theme, very dark, suggesting that the guy was dealing with obscure forces

I remember getting banned from the computers at school for a month for going on this and hitting F11.

[vindarel]

A fork for Lisp code^^ https://vindarel.github.io/Hacker-Typer/ code is from the Mezzano kernel OS.

[zzixp]

I remember going on this site in middle school. I now have a degree and can actually understand the code being written here... time flies

[kmoser]

There's a VS Code plugin that does something similar: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jevakall...

[easterncalculus]

I never knew they had a job board: https://jobs.hackertyper.net/

note that there is also superficially similar hackertyper dot com which contains a cesspool of advertising plugins/links/cookies/javascript.

[nunobrito]

It worked well, was able to stop a nuclear bomb within 1.2 minutes but I've also found a defect:

     The code has comments.

Oh, for an instant, I felt I'm a real hacker like the ones you see in movies! Just randomly press any key on the keyboard, and it will generate chunks of meaningful text quickly. Long-press any key, and it starts behaving like ChatGPT when generating an answer.

[Ylpertnodi]

The vst3 plugin 'RipChord' does similar...but your key presses aren't strictly random.

This website is not complete without the Igor-3000 coding robot: https://youtu.be/q-HvY8stFxk

Greetings from Novosibirsk!

[kunagi7]

That was funny, the "Igor is only powered by Ethernet" phrase made me laugh way too much.

Also, I did not know about Hacker Typer, I will keep it around :).
