Does anyone happen to have an article from the 90s with a title like "the fastest way to become a hacker" lying around on CD?

Hey Toaster.
Around 1997-98, on a disk with the typical title "1000 abstracts" (or N-thousand abstracts, but not the essence), I came across an article that was roughly titled: "The fastest way to become a hacker."
Now that 20 years have passed, I really want to find this article, reread it and compare my current impressions with my memories. Although, unfortunately, I remember very little :/
Searching the Internet for the phrase "The fastest way to become a hacker" predictably gives something completely different from what I would like to see. Therefore, I decided to ask a question here on the Toaster: I'm sure I'm not the only one who read this article 20 years ago. Probably :)
If someone can tell me, give a link or send a text file from a disk with abstracts lying around on the shelves, I will be very happy.
The content of the article that was able to remember. Perhaps the text was not exactly the same, but the meaning was:
"Doing what is written here, you will most likely become a hacker. Believe me, there is no faster way.
Explore your computer. If you find Windows there, remove it. Install UNIX.
Subscribe to the conference , read. But do not ask any questions until 1-1.5 years have passed. You are not able to ask normal questions yet.
Read the documentation"
That's it. Surely there was something else about learning programming languages, most likely the C language.

Answer 1

I don’t have that article, but I once came across a book about how to write (and catch) viruses. The book is clearly handicraft, but not a photocopy, 150 pages. Probably written in the early or mid-nineties, it looks like a translation. It was assumed that the reader is already familiar with assembler, so I almost did not understand anything. At the time of reading, it’s almost not relevant anymore (it’s mostly about real mode, COM files, debug.exe, that’s all), but the philosophical message there was quite similar - learn to read, think, search for information and experiment. Rested on the network etiquette of the BBS era.
From a similar one, the guide " how to ask the right questions " immediately comes to mind.
I take this opportunity to recommend "Cryptonomicon" if someone has not read it yet. When reading, it is worth remembering that the book was published in 1999, even before paypal, and several years before Facebook, and even more so, long before bitcoins.

Answer 2

It seems that this was in some book ... Then a lot was copied and pasted into books on "hacking"
