+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Internet Firewalls | | | | written by | | | | DARKSTAR/NFG | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Ok, The Internet Firewall is a strange beast when you find one. It is for those of you who don't know, a system that secures off a part of the net for pricate or more interestingly for government use. You'll find things like the FBI,CIA etc.. all on the other side of a firewall of some desciption. My research to date has mainly been into the firewall that the FBI has, as that was the very first such address I got. I was hanging around the IRC on csdvax at nsw uni and a friend happened to mention the address just as he logged off... it was pbi.fbi.gov, so i being the good little hacker that i am had a pen beside me and wrote it down to look into later on. Unfortunately this friend of mine is in Israel and was just leaving when he gave it to me so i didn't have time to ask him anything about it. l8r on i tried the address and found it came back with 'network unreachable'. I found this odd as he had given me the address that he obviously had connected to himself so i was wondering what the fuck was going on right? I got onto irc and asked a dude in #hack about it. He said the FBI has a firewall and then he went all quiet and wouldn't say another bloody word about it. Now just about everyone knows that irc is logged. If you say anything like 'hack' 'hacked' 'password' 'passwd' etc.. the line of text gets written into a log.. and i mean who wouldn't log it? i would too so u can't blame them. Anyhow i bugged this guy 'til he finally said 'get onto 'talk' and phne me' so i did, i phoned his account and said 'ok what's the story' and he gave me the following. Apparently the FBI,CIA,IRS and other such secure conscious departments all have computers with ip set up so they only have to sit there and make sure that the rest of their small network is secure, they are called 'firewalls' and are easy to hack if u know wot u are doing. apparently on unix machines there is an ftp command called 'dig' if u login to anonymous ftp sites u can get the binary file off them. if you dig certain addresses that you know to be behind a firewall you can find information about the site. it gives you teh address of all such sites with a certain name in it such as dig fbi.gov any any this will give you output like this ;; QUESTIONS: ;; fbi.gov, type = ANY, class = ANY ;; ANSWERS: fbi.gov. 172800 NS NS.UU.NET. fbi.gov. 172800 NS UUCP-GW-1.PA.DEC.COM. fbi.gov. 1800 UUC-2.PA.DEC.COM. fbi2800ET. fbi.gov. 172 GERS.DU. ;; AUTHORITYv.

(this looks a mess as it was buffered from irc with someone who had a unix in front of them and did this for me). Basically you can see from here where the other nodes are that incorporate fbi.gov. Recently I have also found that UTS actually switches packets through to the FBI firewall to be allowed or denied access. This brings me to the second use for the FBI firewall. It seems that at times they DO want people from outside the wall to be able to access their computers. And to do this they have set up a file with addresses that are allowed to access the computers behind the wall. Now by logging UTS with one of the various logging programs I'd say that these nodes could be easily found, as the programs (the good ones) log where the connections are made from and to and the login id and password of course. The only problem with this is that I have found UTS to be one of the most secure universities on the network in sydney. However nothing is impossible and UTS is certainly not hack proof. The most interesting feature of the Wall is it's CPU power. I am wondering what it could do with a good unix version of Killer Cracker running on it! ;) Imagine 'Hacker Caught running Password Hacking programs on FBI's security Computer' hahaha nice... anyhow the idea is NOT to get caught. ;) Anyhow down here I will list a few interesting nodes down for your testing. ARD.FBI.GOV - FBI's Firewall computer. PBI.FBI.GOV - Unknown FBI node behind firewall. ULTIMA.SOCS.UTS.OZ.AU - UTS SunOS. csdvax.csd.unsw.edu.au - UNSW's vax for students mainly. hydra.maths.unsw.edu.au - UNSW's math unix system. dslt4a.faceng.su.oz.au - Sydney Uni's Faculty Enginerring Computer.(easy) IRS.GOV - The IRS of course. ;) I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the cia was CIA.GOV or something stupid like that so I might try it when I get back on the net. l8r, Darkstar. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ring TAF BBS 8993298 to leave me mail. | | 12 am to 8 am EST Australia. | | VISA!
