Oddly this atack made him many enemies on this server as well as a few firends who where not so happy about the guy he was chasing.
Crazy Hacker Dued -> Crazy Hacker Dan
Once people started to get know Dan more from the IRC server as well as other online places, the dued part was dropped and replaced with Dan, the crazy part was left due to the rampages he used to go on after a user would mass spam his sites or do somthing that he did not agree with. It is rummered that during this times he could have had somthing to due with the disappearance of serveral poorly made truing forums that where trying to get ride off what was the start of CompSci.ca, then known as SWAT.

There where some intermediate steps and going back and forth inbetween these but this in the general evolution. Dan did not actually come up with any of these and was actually assigned a lot of them, but in time it started to catch on and he decided to go with it.
Profile
I am one of the administrators of CompSci.ca. I have been runing and maintaining it for about 3~4 years (too lazy to look it up right now). I have been progamming for about 12~13 years now and am very intrested in computer security matters as well as metaphysics and other philosophical matters. I am well versed in many langues and topics of computer science and am currently majoring in it at Lakehead University (in Thunder Bay) in the honours co-op program.

Hacker Danish
Ever notice Hacker Dan's spelling? Seems a bit off? Well that's only beacuse it is not English he speaks, rather Hacker Danish, a mystical language known only to a select few. The only documents relating to this language known to be in existance are the Old Dictionary of Dan and the New Dictionary of Dan. Unfortunately the Old book was lost due to a dimensional rift serveral 1000 years ago. The New book is an attempt to reconstruct the old. More info can be found on Hacker Danish and the Books on the Dictionary of Dan page.
