The Computer Enthusiast
by Phearless of the uXu
A young computer enthusiast saw the latest issue of "Doed Gris" on the
shelf, and among the articles he found this one on page 19, which he quickly
read:

How to hack nowadays
It has become more difficult to hack and not getting caught nowadays.
"Hack" as in "breaking and entering computer systems" that is.
However, if everyone in the business were aware of what the police and
telephone companies can do, there would be a lot fewer people getting
busted. This applies to Sweden and other countries with hi-tech
switching systems. All sarcasm has been deleted on purpose.
1) Cellulars can be, and are, subject to eavesdropping by all kinds
of people. That means both the police, the telcos and anyone with a
scanner. Buy a digital cellular phone to make eavesdropping
difficult/impossible and never register it in your own name or any
name or company associated with you. Keep in mind that all cellulars
can be traced to a geographical location. In cities, your physical
location can be tracked down to an area of just a few yards! I.e.,
hacking using a cellular phone isn't very wise, even if you are in a
moving car! If you continuously change your caller-id and phone-id
however, you will become a serious pain in the butt for the ones
trying to track you down. So, if you are in a city, in a moving car
and there are lots of other cars where you are, you are safe. Have a
place in your car for quickly hiding the phone and the computer.
2) NEVER call any hack-site from your own home. This includes a
friend's house as well. Unless you've successfully manipulated the
switch to make a tracing of your calls impossible, never do it! (If
you have, please contact me!). The telcos have outgoing/incoming call
statistics that go very far back in time. If you are suspected of
anything related to the phone in your home, the telco will allow even
more logging. This includes, but is not restricted to - when you
picked up the phone, every digit you dial - even the ones which aren't
part of the phone number such as credit- and calling cards.
3) Use a laptop/notebook/*top computer when dialing the sites. Go
somewhere far out in the bush and connect yourself! If the phone wires
leads directly to a house, then never be too close to it! If the call
is traced, the cops will go to the house. They will not ever walk
through the woods for ten miles just to catch a hacker that MIGHT be
out in the bush. First of all, they will suspect the one living in the
house - and go there. While the cops search his or her house, you will
have lots of time to get the hell out of there. Don't speed though...
You can do the same thing using the sewers/underground tunnels in
a city. There are some drawbacks and things to remember however: When
you have located which wires to use then try to find at least three
different ways out of there to ground level. Put out booby traps, two
cans with a wire between will do fine. Use a thin and dark wire
though, do not use 'fishing wire' since it is very reflective when
exposed to light. Being down the sewer and hacking is however like
putting yourself in a trap, and when it is being closed, you try to
get out.
4) If any of your friends "in the business" get busted, encrypt and
hide everything you have that even remotely connects you to any
illegal computer activities. Computer files, handwritten notes,
printouts, diskettes... This is when you find out why you should have
one "clean" computer and one not quite as "clean." With a "dirty
laptop" you can easily get rid of/hide all your work for later
recovery. From this point on, consider all incoming and outgoing calls
monitored especially for checking which ones you call and which ones
are calling you.
5) If you get your own ass hauled into the police HQ for an
interrogation session, either for something you or someone else might
have done, follow this one simple rule: DO NOT SAY ANYTHING! At most,
say "yes" when they ask if you want some coffee... Believe me, it is
the smartest thing to do. Of course they will think you are hiding
something, but they will this way not get their own nor any new
suspicions confirmed by anything you say.
Did you know that "police" is an anagram for "cop lie?"

"Bah!"
The computer enthusiast finished reading the article, and put back the
magazine where he took it and left the store. It was a beautiful day and he
went down to the river to do some serious fishing.
Ten minutes of fishing later, he was arrested for sitting down on a spot of
grass reserved for The Privileged Citizens.
