Questions for interviews with the former scener

Earlier I published interviews with the sceners, but they were taken a long time ago, and for other communities and sites. Today I offer an interview with the former scener specifically for Habr. He began, as is usually the case, in little-known groups, and as a result, by the mid-2000s he became a member of the top crack group, that is, they hacked software - they released crack, keygens, etc. He is Russian, although in all the groups where he was a member, the overwhelming majority were foreign colleagues.

The main motive, as always on the stage, was to overtake other groups, to do what others could not. Of course, they too were not spared by the tumultuous activities of the FBI and the police. Approximately then he retired, and therefore now can tell about those times. He provided evidence that he is the one for whom he claims to be, but his nickname and group names are not disclosed for obvious reasons.

The interview will likely be published next week, so everyone will have time to ask their questions.
