Computer Bulletin Boards January 8, 1986

|
|
Karen: If Santa Claus brought you a computer for Christmas, beware of seeing
|
|
a few things you may not have bargained for. Computer bulletin boards
|
|
have spread by the thousands over the past few years and now some
|
|
people are concerned that the electronic messages may have gotten a
|
|
bit out of hand.
|
|
|
|
Russ: In its simplest definition, a computer bulletin board is a program or
|
|
message that can be accessed by other computers via telephone lines.
|
|
Anyone who has a home computer and a modem can receive and transmit to
|
|
computer bulletin boards. There are thousands of them nationwide, but
|
|
some are causing quite a stink [What a profound statement Russ].
|
|
|
|
[Flash to a picture of a geeky looking teenager]
|
|
|
|
Meet Jason Rebbe, he is a 16 year old computer whiz who a few months
|
|
ago accidentally tapped into a bulletin board called Dr. Doom's Castle.
|
|
[Sorry to break in here Russ, but why is this guy a computer whiz?
|
|
Just because he has a computer? Hey Russ, look a little closer, isn't
|
|
Jason sitting in front of a Commodore-64? I thought so. Oh yeah one
|
|
other thing, this BBS Dr. Doom's Castle has no known relation to Dr.
|
|
Doom (512) or Danger Zone Private.] Dr. Doom gives instructions on how
|
|
to build bombs and guns [Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!]. Jason
|
|
found the recipe for smoke bombs and tried to make one in his kitchen,
|
|
it didn't work. [Ba ha ha].
|
|
|
|
Jason: I heard an explosion in the basement first and that's when I knew
|
|
something was wrong. I thought it would be really neat to just set it
|
|
off someday when there was a lot of people around, just as a joke or a
|
|
prank. [Yeah, that would be K-Rad d00d!]. I didn't expect it to blow
|
|
up my house.
|
|
|
|
Russ: Jason wasn't hurt, but it cost about 2 grand [that's $2,000 to you and
|
|
me] to repair the kitchen. Jason's dad didn't take it well.
|
|
|
|
Bob Holloway: Mad wasn't the word for it. I, I was, I was past mad.
|
|
|
|
Russ: Mr. Holloway called Southwestern Bell and AT&T to see what could be
|
|
done about bulletin boards like Dr. Doom's Castle. The answer was
|
|
nothing. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms said the same
|
|
thing.
|
|
|
|
Daniel Hoggart (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms): There is no
|
|
violation in publishing the information. The violation only
|
|
occurs when someone actually follows through on the
|
|
instructions and actually constructs a bomb.
|
|
|
|
Russ: Another bulletin board that is becoming more and more prevalent these
|
|
days is the Aryian Nation. This one [bulletin board] in Chicago says,
|
|
"If you are an anti-Communist you have made the right connection...on
|
|
the other hand, if you are consumed with such myths as
|
|
Judeo-Christianity, you most definitely dialed the wrong number."
|
|
|
|
Stan Anderman (Anti-Defamation League): Some of this really extreme hatred
|
|
is an attempt to create an environment where violence becomes
|
|
acceptable.
|
|
|
|
Russ: Like most computer bulletin boards the Aryian Nation message is legal
|
|
and falls under free speech laws. However, a bill is scheduled to go
|
|
to congress this session outlawing the kinds of bulletin boards we saw
|
|
here tonight.
|
|
|
|
But, for the moment, hackers should not be too surprised if something
|
|
unusual pops up on their computer terminal. [Ahem, Russ, you did it
|
|
again. All computer users are *NOT* hackers.]

MIT Unix: Victim or Aggressor? January 23 - February 2, 1987
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
Is the MIT system an innocent victim of hacker oppression or simply another
|
|
trap to capture unsuspecting hackers in the act?
|
|
|

It all started like this...

Lately I've been messing around on MIT's VAX in there Physics Department.
|
|
|
|
Recently some one else got on there and did some damage to files. However MIT
|
|
told me that they'll still trust us to call them. The number is:
|
|
|
|
617-253-XXXX
|
|
|
|
We have to agree to the following or we will be kicked off, they will create a
|
|
"hacker" account for us.
|
|
|
|
<1> Use only GUEST, RODNEY, and GAMES. No other accounts until the
|
|
hacker one is made. There are no passwords on these accounts.
|
|
|
|
<2> Make sure we log off properly. Control-D. This is a UNIX system.
|
|
|
|
<3> Not to call between 9 AM and 5 PM Eastern Standard Time. This
|
|
is to avoid tying up the system.
|
|
|
|
<4> Leave mail to GEORGE only with UNIX questions (or C). And leave our
|
|
handles so he'll know who we are.

Thanks Death for the MIT computer, I've been working on getting into them for
|
|
weeks. Here's another you can play around with:
|
|
|
|
617/258-XXXX
|
|
login:GUEST
|
|
|
|
Or use a WHO command at the logon to see other accounts, it has been a long
|
|
time since I played with that system, so I am unsure if the GUEST account
|
|
still works, but if you use the WHO command you should see the GUEST account
|
|
needed for applying for your own account.

MIT is pretty cool. If you haven't called yet, try it out. Just PLEASE make
|
|
sure you follow the little rules they asked us about! If someone doesn't do
|
|
something right the sysop leaves the gripe mail to me. Check out my directory
|

under the guest account just type "cd Dru". Read the first file.

MIT Again

Ok people, MIT is pissed, someone hasn't been keeping the bargain and they
|
|
aren't too thrilled about it. There were only three things they asked us to
|
|
do, and they were reasonable too. All they wanted was for us to not
|
|
compromise the security much more than we had already, logoff properly, not
|
|
leave any processes going, and call only during non-business hours, and we
|
|
would be able to use the GUEST accounts as much as we like.
|
|
|
|
Someone got real nice and added themselves to the "daemon" group which is
|
|
superusers only, the name was "celtic". Gee, I wonder who that could have
|
|
been? I'm not pissed at anyone, but I'd like to keep on using MIT's
|
|
computers, and they'd love for us to be on, but they're getting paranoid.
|
|
Whoever is calling besides me, be cool ok? They even gave me a voice phone to
|
|
chat with their sysops with. How often do you see this happen?
|
|
|
|
a little perturbed but not pissed...

Well, personally I don't know why anyone would want to be a superuser on the
|

system in question. Once you've been on once, there is really nothing that
|

interesting to look at...but anyway.

...I was framed!! I did not add myself to any "daemon" group on any MIT UNIX.
|
|
I did call once, and I must admit I did hang up without logging off, but this
|
|
was due to a faulty program that would NOT allow me to break out of it, no
|
|
matter what I tried. I am sure that I didn't cause any damage by that.

Major Problems
|
|
Name: Druidic Death
|
|
Date: 12:20 pm Sat Jan 31, 1987
|
|
|
|
OK, major stuff going down. Some unidentified individual logged into the
|
|
Physics Dept's PDP11/34 at 617-253-XXXX and was drastically violating the
|
|
"agreement" we had reached. I was the one that made the "deal" with them.
|
|
And they even gave me a voice line to talk to them with.
|
|
|
|
Well, one day I called the other Physics computer, the office AT and
|
|
discovered that someone created an account in the superuser DAEMON group
|
|
called "celtic". Well, I was contacted by Brian through a chat and he told me
|
|
to call him. Then he proceeded to nicely inform me that "due to unauthorized
|
|
abuse of the system, the deal is off".
|
|
|
|
He was cool about it and said he wished he didn't have to do that. Then I
|
|
called George, the guy that made the deal and he said that someone who said he
|
|
was "Celtic Phrost" went on to the system and deleted nearly a year's worth of
|
|
artificial intelligence data from the nuclear fission research base.
|
|
|
|
Needless to say I was shocked. I said that he can't believe that it was one
|
|
of us, that as far as I knew everyone was keeping the deal. Then he (quite
|
|
pissed off) said that he wanted all of our names so he can report us to the
|
|
FBI. He called us fags, and all sorts of stuff, he was VERY!! [underline
|
|
twice] PISSED! I don't blame him. Actually I'm not blaming Celtic Phrost, it
|
|
very easily could have been a frame up.
|
|
|
|
But another thing is George thinks that Celtic Phrost and Druidic Death are
|
|
one and the same, in other words, he thinks that *I* stabbed him in the back.
|
|
Basically he just doesn't understand the way the hacker community operates.
|
|
|
|
Well, the deal is off, they plan to prosecute whoever they can catch. Since
|
|
George is my best friend's brother I have not only lost a friend, but I'm
|
|
likely to see some legal problems soon. Also, I can forget about doing my
|
|
graduate work at MIT. Whoever did this damage to them, I hope you're happy.
|
|
You really messed things up real nice for a lot of people.
|
|
|
|
Celtic, I don't have any reason to believe you messed with them. I also have
|
|
no reason to think you didn't. I'm not making an accusation against you, but
|
|
WHOEVER did this, deserves to be shot as far as I'm concerned. Until this
|
|
data was lost, they were on the verge of harnessing a laser-lithium produced
|
|
form of nuclear fission that would have been more efficient than using the
|
|
standard hydrogen. Well, back to the drawing board now.
|
|
|
|
I realize that it's hard to believe that they would have data like this on
|
|
this system. But they were quite stupid in many other areas too. Leaving the
|
|
superuser account with no password?? Think about it.
|
|
|
|
It's also possible that they were exaggerating. But regardless, damage seems
|
|
to have been done.

I wasn't on MIT, but it was pretty dumb of MIT to even let Hackers on. I

I highly doubt that is was someone on this system. Since this is an elite
|
|
board, I think all the users are pretty decent and know right and wrong things
|
|
to do. Could be that one of the users on this system called another system
|
|
and gave it out!?? Nahh...shooting the asshole is not enough, let's think of
|
|
something better.

|
|
|
|
It seems to me, or, what I gathered, they felt that there were going to be
|
|
hackers on the system to begin with and that this way they could keep
|
|
themselves basically safe.
|
|
|
|
I doubt that it was Celtic Phrost, I don't think he'd be an asshole like that.
|
|
But I can't say. When I posted, I was pretty pissed about the whole deal.
|
|
I've calmed down now. Psychic Warlord said something to me voice the other
|
|
day that made me stop and think. What if this was a set up right from the
|
|
start? I mean, MIT won't give me specifics on just what supposedly happened,
|
|
Celtic Phrost denies everything, and the biggest part of it is what George
|
|
said to me.
|
|
|
|
"We can forgive you for what you did to us if you'll promise to go straight
|
|
and never do this again and just tell us who all of your friends are that are
|
|
on the system".
|
|
|
|
I didn't pay much attention to that remark at first, now I'm beginning to
|
|
wonder...
|
|
|
|
I, of course, didn't narc on anyone. (Who do I know??? hehe)

Lately at Stanford there has been a lot of investigators that I've pinpointed
|

running around. This is mainly due to the number of break-ins this summer.

I think your all wrong. The MIT lines have been around for a long time and
|
|
are widely known among the rodents. Anyone with a g-file could hack out a
|
|
password on the system so it looks to me like someone just messed around and
|
|
just happened to use Phrost as a flunkie. Oh well...

Phortune 500: Phreakdom's Newest Organization February 16, 1987
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
For those of you who are in the least bit interested, Phortune 500 is a group
|
|
of telecommunication hobbyists who's goal is to spread information as well as
|
|
further their own knowledge in the world of telecommunications. This new
|
|
group was formed by:
|
|
|
|
Brew Associates/Handsomest One/Lord Lawless/The Renegade Chemist
|
|
Quinton J. Miranda/Striker/The Mad Hacker/The Spiker
|
|
|
|
These eight members are also known as Board Of Directors (BOD). They don't
|
|
claim to be *Elite* in the sense that they are they world's greatest hackers,
|
|
but they ARE somewhat picky about their members. They prefer someone who
|
|
knows a bit about everything and has talents exclusive to him/herself.
|
|
|
|
One of the projects that Phortune 500 has completed is an individual password
|
|
AE type system. It's called TransPhor. It was written and created by Brew
|
|
Associates. It has been Beta tested on The Undergraduate Lounge (Sysoped by
|
|
Quinton J. Miranda). It is due to be released to the public throughout the
|
|
next few months.
|
|
|
|
Phortune 500 has been in operation for about 4 months, and has released two
|
|
newsletters of their own. The Phortune 500 Newsletter is quite like the
|
|
"People" of contemporary magazines. While some magazines cover the deep
|
|
technical aspects of the world in which we communicate, their newsletter tries
|
|
to cover the lighter side while throwing in information that they feel is "of
|
|
technical nature." The third issue is due to be released by the end of this
|
|
month.

At the University of Rhode Island there is supposed to be some undercover
|
|
agent for Bay Bell. Supposedly he hangs out at the library and watches for
|
|
people checking out the Bell Technical Journals. Then he asks questions like,
|
|
'What do you want those for?' 'Do you know what 2600Hz is?' and other similar
|
|
questions. He isn't registered at the school and of course has no classes.
