A group of like-minded computer software
cracker s, the Phrozen Crew (PC) was created back
in 1993 by Aphex Twin. Aphex Twin recruited a guy
by the name of The Keyboard Caper (tKC), which was
the one who would later lead PC to fame. After a
while, PC was starting to dwindle down as more and
more members left the group; this is normal for
most software hacking groups. Despite this, tKC
decided it was well worth while to reform the group.
Thus, the modern Phrozen Crew was born. It was terribly
small at the time - four members: tKc (president),
Psylocke (vice pres. ansi coder), Mutha (musician),
and Lucido (graphics). This took place in 1995 when
their first crack was made - pc_cmnu5.zip.
In 1996, tKC started up the first Phrozen
Crew IRC group, namely #PC96. Most people had not
yet heard of PC at this time and it wasn't extremely
popular. The most world renowned group at that time
(and arguably still) was the United Cracking Force
(UCF). The Phrozen Crew and UCF were and still are
on good terms as many people were in both groups.
Even though the cordiality is still present, it
is much less than in the old days.
1995 and 1996 were the years that PC really
started to get recognized. Many people signed up
to join their "leet" ranks: Archimede,
Baloosh, AlieN, MegaByte, tHATDUDE, et. al. Other
include Saltine, LordByte, Killer+Bee, and surva.
PC was rapidly growing. That is what led to the
Phrozen Crew crash of 1998, however.
In 1998, PC was completely revamped, so to
speak. So many members left that the group almost
disintegrated; however, the core members were still
steadfast. Despite these hardships, PC eventually
found its way back on track by the end of 1998.
Ever since then, PC has gone on without a hitch.
They, like most other cracking organizations, have
stated that they simply "promote free software"
through cracks, rather than deliberately trying
to hack security features on software.
In 1999-2001 has been reasonably quite years
in which phrozencrew published a lot of their work.
In March and April of In 1996, tKC started
up the first Phrozen Crew IRC group, namely #PC96.
Most people had not yet heard of PC at this time
and it wasn't extremely popular. The most world
renowned group at that time (and arguably still)
was the United Cracking Force (UCF). The Phrozen
Crew and UCF were and still are on good terms as
many people were in both groups. Even though the
cordiality is still present, it is much less than
in the old days.
