Electronic underground community

The electronic underground community is a closed culture grown around electronic/computer security.

It includes:

Hacker community
Phreaker community
Virus coder community

Underground people share a near-obsession for technology, and some are very paranoid persons. They usually grow around their own ezines, see Underground ezines, and usually like Bulletin Board Systems.

There are some other communities surrounding the underground community, but not part of the community itself, for example, the script-kiddie community.
