Attrition.org
Attrition is an infosec site a site that felt very personal not corporate at all, There was a defacement mirror and lots of Defcon content at least that is how I remember it. Attrition was a huge influence to me and I still visit it, a few years ago there was even a bit of activity but its gone quiet again.
Content
Charlatans
- This was a section where they called out people who were frauds in the scene
- I remember reading through all of them, to be called out by Attrition would have been nasty but it was fair, they were not bullying they were pointing out genuine frauds and worse. Attrition was when I first got the desire to visit Defcon, it really was a massive influence on me.
Defacements
- Attrition mirrored site defacements, it was a different time back then!
- I used to check the defacements daily, check which crews where doing the best ones
- it felt like a glimpse into the underground, into something so very cool
- I was inspired into defacements This is how I started in the scene, IIIS directory traversal in 2001 was wild! w00t!
