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". ANOTHE$WOULD
BE CABLE PAIR, WHO IN 1983 CAUSED THE
NUMEROUS BUSTS THAT OCCURED BETW-
EEN 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 WI
THOUT GETTING FOUND OUT. SO, DONT MESS W
?ITH THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE.
HOW ABOUT THIS COMMON ONE:
"CAN I HAVE A TRW ACCOUNT FOV`PPSYSTEM
? I AM REAL INTERESTED..."
LISTEN. DURING THIS TERRIBLE YULETIDE
OF TERROR REIGNING FROM MONTANA BUTTHACK
'S ARTICLE, YOU DONT TRUST ANYONE WITH YO
UR 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 THE
M AND CHECK THEM OUT. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE
HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL ACCOUNTS, THEN TH
E 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 FO
R CREDIT CARDS. I WOULD BE DOUBLY
CAREFUL ABOUT THE OBTAINING AND/OR USE O
F THEM. I DONT DO THAT STUFF AND NEVER
WILL BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO GIVE THE FED
S THE CHANCE TO SAY,"HEY, THIS KID'S
JUST DROPPING HIS PANTS AND BeN ING HIM
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 C
LASS FAMILY THAT WANTS TO KNOW THE
HOW-TO STUFF AND THAT IS OKAY. BUT ALWAY
S ASK THREE QUESTIONS OF YOUR APPREN-
TICES:
1]WHAT IS YOUR NAME
2]WHAT IS YOURPHONE NUMBER
? 3]HOW OLD ARE YOU
NUMBER THREE IS CRUCIAL..IF THEY ARE O
VER 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 Y
OU TALK TO THEM VOICE DUM DUM) AND THEY A
RE 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 IT
S 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.
