It was around 2004 when I decided that I wanted to be a programmer, and all because of C1 04 37 BE.

Both my father and my older brother are computer programmers. But I wasn't a child prodigy at all. I didn't like the BASIC exercises my dad gave me, I preferred fixing hardwave over dealing with software, by 'fixing' I mean, plugging old SCSI disks, bigfoot HDD's, etc... I was only a child and what I loved the most was GAMES, a whole bunch of them

When the MMORPG hype started to grow around the 2000's, I was playing every single MMO I could put my hand on, always on the official servers, doing my best, grinding my way, and ofcourse, scripting, hacking, exploiting.

My favorite game back then, was MU Online, an MMO that I hold dear to my heart and I am very close to its core community. My Ragezone account dates back to 2004. I was 13 at the time.

Around that time, I was the first to Discover and Publish the first MU Online dupe method that used Direct Packet Injection, since the previous method (Synclogon) was already patched by WebZen. This finding was published, under my name, on the now extinct MU Online Forum on MPCHEATS.de.

Exploiting games is quite exciting, and you also learn a lot in the process. I didn't understand how the gameserver worked at the time, but I knew a lot about the game mechanics, which helped me to come out with a solution for previously patched dupe methods.
