Sub7 (SubSeven) was the Remote Access Trojan that introduced countless script kiddies to the world of remote system control in the late 1990s. Created by Mobman, this Windows trojan was deceptively easy to use with its point and click interface that let anyone remotely control infected machines, steal passwords, activate webcams, and play pranks on unsuspecting victims. Sub7 became so notorious that antivirus companies specifically targeted it, leading to an arms race of crypters and packers designed to evade detection. The tool was distributed through IRC channels and hacker forums, often bundled with games or utilities to trick users into installation. While primitive by today's standards, Sub7's user friendly approach to remote access laid the groundwork for modern RATs and demonstrated how powerful hacking tools could be democratized through intuitive interfaces.

The episode exposes "Greg," who has claimed for over a decade to be the author of Sub7, as a liar and a fraud. Jack then introduces the true author, and then brings them both on the air to hash it out.
