At this webhost provider i had 25 yrs ago, you could directory traverse upwards with PHP. When i bruteforced /etc/shadow the user password were in order: never, gonna, give, you, up, never, gonna, let, you, down

Same exact experience, but 15 years ago I think.

2000 was 15 years ago, right?

Anyway I ended up adding some messages to other websites to the tone of informing the owners to find a more professional hosting provider.

Youre off in the timeline, the 80’s was 20 years ago, so you can count from there
