Back in the early days of hacking and phreaking, there was no formal ranking system, just skill, reputation, and who you knew. But as the culture evolved, loose categories emerged.

Script Kiddie – Runs pre-made exploits without understanding them. Annoying but not a real threat.
Lamer – Worse than a script kiddie. Talks big but has no real skill.
Elite – The real deal. Masters of custom exploits, reverse engineering, and deep system knowledge.
Guru – Even beyond elite. Think of the cryptographers, OS developers, and hardware hackers shaping the future.

In the underground, respect is not about labels. You either have skills or you do not.

Phone phreaking isn’t dead it merely evolved. In late 2024, a new wave of phreakers started exploiting VoIP systems, rerouting calls, and bypassing authentication with techniques that echo the golden age of blue boxes. Some are resurrecting old tricks with modern twists, while others are uncovering fresh vulnerabilities in digital telecom networks. The art of bending the phone system to your will is alive and well.
