The report was made available at no cost to all sysops of every Bulletin Board System and to anyone else offering documents to download. It was a way to assist both sysops and users to avoid “fraudulent programs.” The malicious files which contained viruses or caused harm to the system after execution were included but the report also included programs that were merely humorous or attempted in order to collect “download points” in exchange to upload “new files,” such as those altered using the help of a hex editor in order to appear like a new one, however, they were in fact exactly the same as the version in use. The report was issued throughout the entirety into 1992 and 1993 with the assistance of contributors from all over the globe. The report was featured in the book of 1994 “Cyberlife! “, although the authors of the chapter the book that it was included in called the report “The ‘Hacker’ Report.”

Grabbag has elicited many spin-offs and remixes over the years by both fans and professional musicians, including an officially sanctioned studio version by the popular thrash metal outfit Megadeth. Another version of the song was recorded by Chris Kline in August 2005. 3D Realms featured it on the front page of their website and contracted with Kline to use it to promote their Xbox Live release of Duke Nukem 3D.
