Created in 1980 by the original hackers of the Bulletin Board System. l337 is a variation os the word 'leet', which itself is derived from the word elite. Elite has been used in the past to designate a group of users as belonging to a higher social echelon than other users. The term Elite was gained from the classic game Elite. The letter... could also be: A - 4, /\, @, ^ B - 8, 13, %, ß C - <, (, © D - |), I>, ?

There are two varieties of 73h l337. They are used based on the respect carried towards the person whom you are talking to. l337 Light is used when you're talking to friends, acquaintances, and family because it is merely casual talk. Hardcore l337 is when you are talking to a person of higher importance or someone you respect and/or admire greatly. Unlike l337 light, which is an alphanumeric language, hardcore l337 utilizes various other symbols.

l337 Light: h3y d00d. h0wz j00r m4d g4m1ng 5k1llz? hey dude. How are your great gaming skills? Hardcore l337: 3><|_|53 |\/|3, 1'|\/| |_00|<1|\|g |=0|2 p|-||23c| 1|\| 7\/\/0-0-|=0|_||2. Excuse me, I'm looking for Fred in 204.

Many people will argue that it started with the popular game Counter Strike, but X's def. is the most correct. According to "The Hacker Crackdown" by Bruce Sterling, it was an invented language used to confuse FBI and NSA sniffing programs during Operation Sundevil, when the government placed "wiretaps" on the Killer server to find hackers. Used extensively after the E911 document scandal and the theft of Korn 78 and other UNIX programs by AT&T. Google "Fry Guy", "Terminus", "Gail Thackery", "Acid Phreak" and "Phiber Optik" for more information. Discontinued among true hackers thanks to encryption engines and PGP keys.
