The entire page is a joke.
I made this as a retribution 'cos I had seen enough warez pages on the Web, enough warez distributed in the net and definitely enough warez leechers in rec.games.roguelike.nethack.
Making this page was fun, too. When I started my expedition to warez world, I almost logged in as r00t to fire up the communications.
Oh, yeah, the lame applets on the page were written by me and I really made an ActiveX version with VB 5.0 Pro during a programming course when I ran out of ideas (but I didn't put that to this s1t3).
Yeah, I know that those applets might crash your browser - but this is a k00l WaR3z s1te, so we're allowed! I think I fixed that bug though... At least appletviewer doesn't whine. =)
You can get the applet source code. Those are distributed under GPL v2 or later.
Well, I hate frames too... You can Go back to RGRNCA pages by selecting that link.
The "r00lsUm CyBa J0l1Y R0gA" and the "Gl00B wIthDa Sh0rt DaYz" were found from warez pages, and a page that had some KeWl animated gifs (for those junior web designers =). My apologies if they shouldn't be there. I hope you understand that this page is parody.
These zips were created by me, or were found from the Net.
The Pong zip contains the .v64 file that can be used in a N64 emulator. It's a supposedly real game, I haven't tested it personally. It's part of some Nintendo 64 emulator development project (Probably Project Unreality or whatever that was called) - it's a test file that came with that dist. As I said, I haven't tested it; I hope what it really is what the name suggests, and if it is, it's just the kind of game the d00dz to confuse the hell out of themselves. =)
The ICQ nuker contains a zipped executable that's actually a self-extracting zip file. I created that under Linux by using the Info-zip "unzipsfx.exe" stub, and tried it under DOSEMU - I hope it works. I won't spoil your joy by telling what it gives. =)
The serial number list is kind of boring. The crazy part was that it was created with a program written in C. I usually use Perl for stuff like this...
The ASCII art that's in the zip file banners is a completely different story, then... As you can see, it says the file comes from "DaRk F0R3zT SbbS +358-86-31337 V.21 FIDO L33TN3T 0DaYWar3zKannU".
I have never been to a warez BBS, but I have seen one log from an exposér of clueless SysOps (he called himself "Zerbi/Zurpateam" or something like that). The "Dark Forest" name comes from a BBS this interviewer once visited. It used to be called "Ninja's BBS" but the sysop changed the BBS name during the time the lad chatted with the SysOp. The SysOp himself used the name "Fat Gambler" or whatever... The best part of that exposé was, of course, the log of the contents of the Magnificent Warez Conf®. Not quite 0-day-warez, Not quite more than 0 downloads.
SBBS is, as everyone knows, a Finnish BBS program. Not quite featureful. It was later run over by BBBS, the apex of Finnish BBS software design (It's one of the few BBS programs that work in Linux among other OSes, anyway =)
The phone number is kind of significant. 358 is the country code of Finland, and 986 (the first 9 will be left out when calling from abroad with the country code) is the old area code of Kainuu (I lived in Kuhmo during the last cool period of BBSes before the rise and rule of the Internet in the consiscousness of the great public). Everyone should know by now what 31337 means, and if you don't, 3=e,1=l,7=t. =)
V.21 is the CCITT standard for... surprise surprise! 300 BPS line. Most of the BBSes during the golden era told about their glorious hardware and that Yes, They Too Support V.22bis or whatever. I don't recall any BBS that would actually mentioned 19200 bps 'Elite', but maybe my memory is weak.
