vadding
/vad 'ing / (From VAD , a permutation of ADV ,
i .e . {ADVENT }, used to avoid a particular {admin }'s continual
search -and -destroy sweeps for the game ) A leisure -time
activity of certain hackers involving the covert exploration
of the "secret " parts of large buildings - basements , roofs ,
freight elevators , maintenance crawlways , steam tunnels , and
the like . A few go so far as to learn locksmithing in order
to synthesise vadding keys . The verb is "to vad " (compare
{phreaking }; see also {hack }, sense 9 ). This term dates from
the late 1970s , before which such activity was simply called
"hacking "; the older usage is still prevalent at {MIT }.
Vadding (pronounced /vay 'ding /) was also popular {CMU }, at
least as early as 1986 . People who did it every night were
called the "vaders ," possibly after "elevator ," which was one
of the things they played with , or "invader ," or "Darth
Vader ". This game was usually played along with
no -holds -barred hide -and -seek . CMU grad students were the
known to pry open the inner doors of elevators between floors
to see the graffiti on the inside of the outer doors .
The most extreme and dangerous form of vadding is "elevator
rodeo ", also known as "elevator surfing ", a sport played by
wrasslin ' down a thousand -pound elevator car with a 3 -foot
piece of string , and then exploiting this mastery in various
stimulating ways (such as elevator hopping , shaft exploration ,
rat -racing , and the ever -popular drop experiments ). Kids ,
don 't try this at home !
