LESSON 1] THE TRAP
LOOKING FOR A FEDERAL AGENT IS BIG NEWS. OBVIOUSLY, THESE PEOPLE ARE SLIPPERY
AND WILL DISAPPEAR IF BEING NOTICED. A PERFECT EXAMPLE IS RICHARD SANDZA OF
NEWSWEEK FAME WHO GOT SNIFFED OUT, AND THEN SAT DOWN TO COMPOSE HIS STUNNING
INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD OF HACKERS, "NIGHT OF THE HACKERS". ANOTHER WOULD BE
CABLE PAIR, WHO IN 1983 CAUSED THE NUMEROUS BUSTS THAT OCCURED BETWEEN THE
SUMMER AND WINTER OF THAT YEAR. BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR?
WHAT IF YOU SUSPECT SOMEONE BUT ARE NOT SURE...YOU DONT ACCUSE THEM, JUST
REFER BACK TO THESE HANDY LITTLE HINTS....
THIS FILE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, AND THE SYSOP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHAT I HAVE ENTERED.
LESSON 2] TIPS:
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS ON YOUR FAVE RAVE PHREAK BOARD:
"LEAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER AND I WILL GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU...
WE CAN TRADE SOME CODEZ..."
THIS PERSON IS OBVIOUSLY BLOTTED OUT OF HIS GOURD, OR HE IS TRYING TO GET
SOME INFO ON YOU! FEDS WANT TO KNOW PEOPLE A ND KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT THEM AS
THEY CAN WITHOUT GETTING FOUND OUT. SO, DONT MESS WITH THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE.
HOW ABOUT THIS COMMON ONE:
"CAN I HAVE A TRW ACCOUNT FOR A SYSTEM? I AM REAL INTERESTED..."
LISTEN. DURING THIS TERRIBLE YULETIDE OF TERROR REIGNING FROM MONTANA
BUTTHACK'S ARTICLE, YOU DONT TRUST ANYONE WITH YOUR PERSONALLY GOTTEN/HACKED
OUT ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU KNOW THEM. AND, ABOVE ALL, DONT POST THEM ON PUBLIC
SYSTEMS WHERE EVERY FED IN 30 STATES CAN GET THEM AND CHECK THEM OUT.
IF ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL ACCOUNTS, THEN THE DAMN THINGS
ARE LIKELY TO BE TURNED OFF FROM TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING A CREDIT CHECK BY
THE LENOXX BANK OF MASS.
EVER HEAR--
"GOT ANY NEW VISA'S OR MASTERCARDS?"
WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT PW'S GOES DOUBLE FOR CREDIT CARDS. I WOULD BE DOUBLY
CAREFUL ABOUT THE OBTAINING AND/OR USE OF THEM. I DONT DO THAT STUFF AND
NEVER WILL BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO GIVE THE FEDS THE CHANCE TO SAY,"HEY, THIS
KID'S JUST DROPPING HIS PANTS AND BENDING OVER. LET'S GIVE HIM THE STICK."
WHAT ABOUT...
"CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO PHREAK"
OR
"CAN SOMEONE TEACH ME HOW TO HACK
DONT BE TOO TRUSTING ANY MORE ABOUT NEW PHREAKS/HACKS UNLESS THEY LOOK
LIKE INNOCENT KIDS. YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW HOW TO TELL IF THERE IS SOME KID
THAT COMES FROM A GOOD JEWISH, UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY THAT WANTS TO KNOW
THE HOW-TO STUFF AND THAT IS OKAY. BUT ALWAYS ASK THREE QUESTIONS OF YOUR
APPRENTICES:
1] WHAT IS YOUR NAME
2] WHAT IS YOUR PHONE NUMBER
3] HOW OLD ARE YOU
NUMBER THREE IS CRUCIAL..IF THEY ARE OVER 19 YEARS OF AGE, DONT WASTE YOUR
TIME OR EFFORT. YOU DONT KNOW THEM AND YOU WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.
IF THEY DO LIE ABOUT THEIR AGE (YOU CAN TELL IF YOU TALK TO THEM VOICE
DUM DUM) AND THEY ARE UNDER 19, THEN YOU CAN SAY OKAY.
JUST STAY COOL ABOUT IT.
WELL, THAT IS ALL THAT I CAN THINK OF NOW. IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADDITIONS,
YOU CAN COMPOSE A FILE USING THE P COMMAND.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OSUNY BBS FOR ITS CONTINUED EFFORT TO PROVIDE SERVICE
TO THE PHREAK/HACK COMMUNITY AND TO MY FINGERS WITHOUT WHOSE TIRELESS EFFORT
I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COMPOSE THIS FILE.
