  • Telehack

    From peron@peron@tilde.club to tilde.club on Tue Nov 10 23:14:22 2020
    I've been a user of Telehack since a while know. It's a online hacking
    game. I got interested in that terminal system, but I really don't know
    who runs it or why.

    The info on the www states:
    "Telehack is a simulation of a stylized arpanet/usenet, circa
    1985-1990. It is a full multi-user simulation, including 25,000 hosts and BBS's from the early net, thousands of files from the era, a collection of adventure and IF games, a working BASIC interpreter with a library of
    programs to run, simulated historical users, and more".

    I would like to know if there are some ~tilde users knowledgable about Telehack. You can find/contact me there as "juanperon".

    I remember reading about it - or something like it - in either Hacker
    News, Reddit or Slashdot (it was some time ago). IIRC, the author
    started it with the intent of showing his children what the early
    Internet was like.

    Any spots in particular you would recommend visiting there?

    Hello Dario, I would try the fake X.25 network. That was a old protocol
    and quite popular back then among wannabe and true hackers. Just get the dialer and
    use the command:

    dial (511) 394-8574

    And you should get access to a menu.

    I also got in a live chat with an australian mate using the talk command. First you use the w command to see who is connected. Then use talk and the login ID or port number to get a live connection requests.

    interestingly, the numbers seem to change?

    @dial
    telephone number? 511 394 8574
    dialing ATDT (511) 394-8574 NO CARRIER
