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!

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.

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

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.

I only have 3 minutes to hack into the mainframe.

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

For anyone that doesn't know the reference, it's this classic scene from NCIS:

The power of the NCIS series! So unrealistic in so many ways, that it becomes fun to watch.

My man!

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

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

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

What does hacking have to do with cybersecurity?

alias_neo [3 hidden]5 mins ago

I suppose they mean the pop-culture term "hacker" which is someone who breaks into digital systems in movies etc.

In which case, it has everything to do with Cybersecurity.

blooalien [3 hidden]5 mins ago

True (real actual) "hackers" often make the best cybersecurity experts? :)

Finally I can write code faster than LLM! /s

Now we just gotta combine Hacker Typer with GPT streaming a token of code on every key press.
