Welcome to Phrack Pro-Phile I. I started thinking about it and
|
|
personally had always been interested in people's backgrounds, especially those
|
|
who are around a lot, have been around for a long time, or are sysops. This
|
|
new feature of Phrack Inc. will present info about various members of the
|
|
phreak/hack community ranging from personal to public. This month's
|
|
interviewee....
|
|
|
|

|
|
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Crimson Death is the sysop of Hell Phrozen Over, a private phreak/hack
|
|
bulletin board in Philadelphia, PA. (215).

|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Crimson Death started out in the BBS world in 1984 with a public
|
|
board, Spirit World, which was run on an Apple //e, 2 floppies, GBBS, and 300
|
|
baud. He had originally gotten his Apple computer in January of 1984. Then,
|
|
on one memorable day, The Videosmith logged onto his board and they became
|
|
friends. In February of 1985, he started phreaking. When his 10 meg Sider
|
|
came, he started Hell Phrozen Over as a private bulletin board system. Death
|
|
called a few memorable boards, including the Army BBS, Shadowland, The Missing
|
|
Link, The Labyrinth, as well as his own. His phreak teacher was The
|
|
Videosmith.
|
|
|
|
Robb goes to a public school and has skipped a grade, so he is
|
|
currently one grade ahead of his time. His phreaking is unknown at school
|
|
except to a few. He considers himself pretty well versed in programming, and
|
|
from the way his board runs, I would agree. CD's girlfriend is The Silver Fox,
|
|
(note the word "Fox") that he met on Datanet, and popular opinion says she is
|
|
REALLY decent looking.
|
|
|
|
Crimson Death does no hacking right now, but in the future when he
|
|
gets a bit of free time, he plans on learning about it. Mentioned earlier was
|
|
his involvement in Phreak Klass 2600. Red Devil has taken it down, and they
|
|
are looking for a replacement board, Phreak Klass II. Death has met various
|
|
phreaks, old and new, and those of who really stuck out in his mind were: The
|
|
Videosmith, Mark Tabas, TUC, Telenet Bob, The Sprinter, and Dr. Who. He listed
|
|
others too, but he felt that these were the "mentionables". Just thought I'd
|
|
let a few out there know. Hell Phrozen Over is co-sysoped by Silicon Swindler,
|
|
and the Phreak Adviser is The Videosmith, a 300/1200 baud, 10 meg system. He
|
|
was, in the past, in PhD, which stands for Phreak/Hack Destroyers. This
|
|
eventually evolved into Camorra. PhD was run by The Executioner (301), members
|
|
included Red Devil, Silver Sabre, and Scorpion among others.
|
|
|
|
He is quite a comedian also, he wishes for all of you to have his last
|
|
name, address, and credit card number (heh heh). The following are excerpts
|
|
from his Death Plan File, Inc. project. I hope you find this phile
|
|
interesting.

|
|
|
|
People Crimson Death would like to say a few things to
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Krista (the person I hold dearest to my heart, who I love and cherish even
|
|
more-so than I do myself; and for being herself)
|
|
|
|
Silicon Swindler (For being my best friend for the past few years. I would
|
|
like to thank him for sticking with me through A LOT
|
|
of bad times)
|
|
|
|
The Videosmith (for introducing me the mystic world of phreaking, being my
|
|
mentor in this "mystic world", but most of all being a
|
|
friend)
|
|
|
|
The Executioner (who can be an egotistical asshole at times, but showed
|
|
me he really does care at Phreak Con, when a 6' 8"
|
|
ogre wanted my ass)
|
|
|
|
Red Devil (who has put up with all of my cut-ups and not kicked the
|
|
shit out of me, even though he could. Sorry about that)
|
|
|
|
The People at Data-Tek (who put up Datanet in which without it, I would
|
|
have never met Krista)
|
|
|
|
Everyone Else who I didn't mention (for the one's who I know care; and
|
|
the people who put up with my faults)
|
|
|
|
*TOTAL LOSERS*: The Sting (Otto) (414), Black Majik, Bloody Sabath.
|
|
|
|
The above three people have busted on me for having had an illness. In May, of
|
|
1983 I was struck with Leukemia, cancer of the blood. Luckily, I was cured
|
|
of this disease, and now lead a normal life. Yes, I was bald at one period of
|
|
time, but I am not now. Even so, that is nothing to bust on. I don't care
|
|
who it is, and what they have done to you, because busting on an illness is
|
|
is pure idiocy. No one understands...until they or someone they love is
|
|
struck.
|
|

|
|
I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming in
|
|
the near future. Oh, and one last thing, I'm taking a poll from all
|
|
interviewees.
|
|
|
|
Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most
|
|
phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? Crimson Death says "No". Thanks for
|
|
your time Robb.
