The original HackerTyper. Turning all your hacker dreams into pseudo reality since 2011.

These links may earn a commission for us at no extra cost to you. Created in 2011, Hacker Typer arose from a simple desire to look like the stereotypical hacker in movies and pop culture. Since that time, it has brought smiles to millions of people across the globe. Plus, many of you have temporarily transformed into hackers yourselves, all from a few clicks on the keyboard (and some programming magic behind the scenes!). Also, if you are using Hacker Typer in any of your projects, videos or images, feel free to reach out! It’s amazing to see what happens when people’s creativity interacts with this site. And please note: No, I will kindly not hack into anyone’s personal property, so please…from hackertyper.net
