Introduction>>>>>>
><><><><><><>
Well, this is the third issue. I am doing well with putting one out
each month (First Two, No Problem). I don't know how many of you have
actually downloaded a single copy. If you have, how about dropping me a
message (email) on one of the local boards to me that I am on. Such as:
Terminal Addiction: 410-527-9549*Anarchy
Outside the Wall: 410-665-1855*Anarchy (CD-ROM)
The Underground Ice Kingdom: 410-823-4125*Anarchy
The Dog House BBS: 410-692-5792
The Whore House: 410-296-3205
Most of those offer anarchy files. Outside the Wall has no ratios, neither
does Terminal Addiction. T.U.I.K. has ratios, but they have great files.
Give them a call any time. The ones with a "*" I log on daily, the others
I get on maybe once every two weeks. My Handle is "Totally Destroyed" send
me a message. On TUIK I don't have a handle, send it to "Totally Destroyed".
Just to let me know you actually read the last issues. Then
I'll know if I'm wasting my time or not. Well, on with Issue #3.

Tips for the New Hacker>>>>>>>>>>
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
This month we will be dealing with guessing passwords. Let's say
that you have someone's valid user name and would like to guess their pass-
word. Well, first try their first name, last name, any combinations. First
or last names with a numeric or special character in it somewhere. Nicknames,
and combinations. Then you could try their street name if you know it, and
the city they live in, if you know it. Then try all of those backwards. Then
you proceed to this list of more popular passwords. This is the list used in
the Internet Worm Virus a few years ago. A few have been added.

Try the following substitutions:

I----------! ex. S!GNATURE
C----------( ex. (ATTLE
A----------@ ex. @SSOCIATES
Also, try the User Name "Anonymous" or "Guest" or "Friend" or "New User".
Then try the following passwords with each:
Anonymous
Guest
Friend
New User
New
Test
Password
When all that fails, start at page one of the Dictionary and work your way
through. If all that fails start over and use each word backwards. If all
that fails find a new account (if you were dumb enough to try that one for
that long.) If you continue hacking that account for very long, you WILL get
busted.

Credit Card Busts>>>>>>>>>>>
<><><><><><><><><>
Sometime last year two asian men traveled throughout Miami, Florida
and spent over $260,000. They used well over 20 credit cards they had
manufactured. These two men were part of a large credit card fraud group
that in the past year has carded over $260,000,000. These men as well as
the ringleader of the group were arrested by the secret service sometime last
month. The ringleader will be serving 4 years in a federal prison. The
funny thing is the lack of observation on the clerks part. The video tapes
were reviewed, and the clerks had handed the card back before the man using
it even signed the transaction slip. The clerk had no way to check the
signatures. The clerk also didn't look at the name of he/she would have
noticed that the names on the cards were not asian. This is inexcusable
says fomer Visa Employee. The cards should have been checked better.
><><><>
Mortar>>>>>>
><><><>
This handy weapon can be made to shoot scrap metal and/or glass.
Materials Needed for Construction:
Iron Pipe 3 feet long and 2 inches to 4 inches in diameter. If you
will be shooting tennis balls or oranges make sure that your
ammo will fit in the pipe snugly
Threaded cap to fit pipe
Battery and Wire
Tools Needed for Contruction:
None
First screw the cap on the end of the pipe. The cannon is now
completed. Burry the pipe in the ground. Make sure the pipe is angled in the
desired direction. The end should be almost flush with the ground. Place
about 1/2 pound of gunpowder or similar propellant on a cloth. Wrap this up
into a package and insert an ignitor (ESTES Model Rocket) into the powder with
the leads connected to about ten feet of wire. Put this in the pipe with the
insulated wires hanging out the open end. Tamp another piece of cloth in the
pipe for wadding. Then pour in the screws, nuts, nails, broken glass, or
small stones as your projectiles. BB's or shotgun shot work well also.
You then get behind the tube and connect the wires to a 9-volt battery. If
there is a clean connection between the igniter and the wires, then it will
go off.

Beige Boxes Revisited>>>>>>
<><><><><><><><><><><>
Yes, I know that their are many, many plans for beige boxes floating
and these plans are nothing new, but I will cover more ways to use the beige
box than the other files I have seen floating around.
Materials:
Phone cord (To plug into the wall)
or
Cheap one piece phone, touch tone
Wire stripper
2 Alligator Clips
Few hundred feet of thin wire
Sodder
Soddering Iron
First you need to decide if you wish to hook up a phone in your house
to the box you are doing this to. If not you won't need the thin wire,
sodder, or soddering iron. Now take the phone cord, or the cord coming out
of the cheap one piece phone. And cut off the plug that goes in the wall.
Then strip off the insulation. You should see four wires inside of this.
One is Green, one is Red, one is Black, and one is Yellow. If they are not
color coded, then you want the two middle ones. Cut off the yellow and black
ones. They are not needed. Strip off the red and green ones though. Then
attach the alligator clips to these wires (might require sodder). If you
used a cheap phone, you're pretty much done, if not the plug the other end of
the wire into a phone and you're done. Now go find a junction box. Bring
your beige box and a 7/16 inch hex driver. Open up the box with the driver.
Then look inside (make sure this is not the box on your porperty). Find the
green wire and the red wire. Hook them up appropriately. When I did it,
the box had two of each and I hooked up my red to red and my green to the
other red. I don't know why, but if green to green and red to red don't work,
fool around with it. Sooner or later you'll hit a combination that works.
Don'w mess with the yellow and black though, they aren't used. When you
finally get a dial tone (on the phone), dial your own phone number. If it
is busy then you're tapped in on your on line, if not then you have someone
elses line. I wouldn't do this when they might get on the phone, because
what you're on is just like another extension in their house. You could
bring your laptop and call long distance bbs. Anyway, this is a great way
to get someones parents wondering about them. Find a house where it is the
parents and only male children (atleast 11 yrs. + old). Run up huge charges
on gay porno lines. This is all billed to their line. If you want this to be
more permanent. Run the long wire from the red and from the green on your
phone wire (beige box) and then run it all the way to the box from your house.
hook up the alligator clips and close the box. Hide the wire. Now you have
an extension in your house, yet it's their number. Don't leave it their for
too long, someone might notice it. Well, that's it.

Hacking and Hackers: The Rise, Stagnation, and Renaissance.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the publicity
afforded to hacking has risen to peak levels within the last year. As
one would expect, the political attention being paid to the subject of
hackers has also risen to peak levels. We are hearing more about
hackers each day. The newspapers have articles about alleged computer
crime and phone fraud almost weekly. The legal system is issuing
indictments, the secret service is running around with wildcard search
warrants, and captured naive hackers are turning on each other. Some
well known computer people have formed a lobby called the "Electronic
Frontier Foundation". Fox TV has news people on the scene during a
bust of an alleged "hacker" who was invading their own doofus system!
Non-computer "lay" people have been asking me a lot of questions.
So who am I? I'm just another computer bum. I got into computers in
the early seventies during high school. I've witnessed computing's
rise as something social outcasts did to something everybody wanted to
be a part of. Babes looked at us with disgust as we grabbed our data
on 110 baud teletypes and paper tape. Rolls of paper tape and access
to timeshared basic was so great that we didn't even think that it
could get better. Well guess what? Computers and our social position
kept getting better. It got so good that pretty soon everybody wanted
to ask us questions.
These days we are like doctors at a cocktail party, we are always
getting hit on for free computer consulting! Even from the babes!
You've come a long way baby! Later I got into the professional side,
that is, systems programming, systems management, and software
development. I've worked with GE, Xerox, IBM, Digital, CDC, HP,
Prime, anything I could get my hands on. I dearly loved the DEC-10,
learned to live with VAX/VMS, and now grit my teeth when I work with
Unix/MS-DOS. My hobby became my career, and they paid me money for
it. My chosen hacking name is "bugs bunny" and you can find me on some
bulletin boards as user "bugs". Bugs was always creating virtual
rabbit holes out of thin air and dodging in and out of them. True
hackers love to find and fix software "bugs". Yea!! I'm 34 now and a
dad.
Being involved in computers for a long time gives me a better
perspective than most. Over the years there would sometimes be a major
media coverage of some computer crime event. As a local computer
"heavy", there were always questions coming my way about what these
things were all about. Lately, the questions are more frequent and
more sophisticated. All these big highly publicized busts are opening
a lot of issues. I didn't have answers to some of these questions so
I sat down and did some thinking. Writing this article is an
outgrowth of that. I am not a writer so grant me some journalistic
slack.
Back in the early seventies hacking was quite free. Most of the
important stuff was running on batch mainframes that had no connection
to the outside world. The systems that we played with were not really
considered critical by anyone. We were allowed to play to our hearts
content, and nobody really worried about it at all. This period is
what I like to think of as the "rise of hacking". You can read about
some of it in the first section of Levy's book, "HACKERS". I love
that section and read it when current events depress me. In those
days the definition of hacker was clear and clean. It was fun, it was
hi-tech, it was a blast, and it was not a threat. There were no big
busts, very few people understood computing, and the public had no
interest in it.
We hacked for the sheer love of it. How can I describe the depth of
interest that we had? We were not concerned with our image or our
"identity". We wrote games, wrote neat hacks, and learned the
strengths or weaknesses of each system. We were able to obtain access
to a broad range of systems. Consider teenage boys comparing and
contrasting the systems designed by older engineers! We eventually
reached a point where we decided how a system should be set up. At
this point we began to make an annoyance of ourselves. In all
instances the various administrations considered us minor annoyances.
They had much more pressing problems!
New users began to show up in the labs. They reluctantly wanted to
get something done that absolutely had to be done on the computer. In
many cases they had no idea how to start, and were left to their own
devices. Centralized data processing management (MIS) didn't want to
deal with them. Often, they saw us playing around, joking, laughing,
carefree, and not at all intimidated by the computer. They, on the
other hand, were quite intimidated. We helped these people get
started, showed them were the documentation was, and explained
various error conditions to them. We quickly developed reputations as
knowing how to get something to work.
One of the people I helped made a remark to me that has stuck with me
for a long time. He said, "I am trained as a civil engineer, so I
don't have a feel for this. But you, you are pure bred. You've
gotten into this fresh and taught yourself from the ground up. You
haven't been trained into any set doctrine." Phar out man! This is
an important point. There were no rules, guidelines, or doctrines.
We made our own up as our experiences dictated.
As time wore on, the new user pool began to grow more rapidly. The
computers began to creak and groan under the work loads that were
being placed upon them. During the day time, we came to the computer
area to find it packed. We could no longer access the computers
during the day. After all, we were just playing! That was OK with
us. Soon we were there at night and on weekends. We obtained the
off-hour non-prime time access, but this put us further away from the
mainstream. These new guys liked the timeshared computers much more
than their mainframe batch machines. They started to move their darn
