Hi,
|
|
I have a story of violations of freespeech and censorship and
|
|
if I am busted unjustly, please publish this story to the public.
|
|
Yesterday some faggot e-mailed me with a ton of ascii crap that
|
|
took me an hour + to DL. WHen I finished DLing it, windoze stalled and I
|
|
had to restart.. So naturally I was pissed off. The reason this guy
|
|
said he did this was because I posted a cheat program for the game
|
|
Diablo on my webpage and he doesn't like cheaters. Today he e-mailed me
|
|
again with ascii crap.....I was beyond pissed....so I did what anyone in
|
|
my position would do....Imailbombed him ... about 600 msg's or so.
|
|
I used Kaboom3 and an SMTP I thought (Looked like it from port 25) was
|
|
anonymous and untraceable.
|
|
As it turns out, 2 hours later the head of security at Earthlink
|
|
(my current ISP) called and said that someone from my account had e-mail
|
|
bombed this person. The security guy said that the person I bombed
|
|
complained to his ISP because it "put out his business for hours." His
|
|
ISP traced it to Earthlink and then to me, by contacting the earthlink
|
|
security guy and having him look in the logs for who was connected to
|
|
the ip (dynamic) they saw in the bomb messages at the time the bombing
|
|
occurred. He also said that the guy I bombed called the FBI and got them
|
|
involved in it. Is this sounding fucking ridiculous yet? First of all,
|
|
any reputable business presumably has a better-than-28.8 connection,
|
|
which means it would have taken this guy a couple seconds to DL my bomb.
|
|
Secondly, even if he doesn't have a T-1, at 28.8 it would take 2 hours
|
|
or so, maybe less. But the FBI is involved..... I can't fucking
|
|
believe it! So naturally the first thing I do is e-mail all the
|
|
reputable hackz known to me. This is ridiculous, this is
|
|
oppressive, this is BIG BROTHER!

|

Hey, in phrack 48, the article on IP spoofing says you need to sample to
|
|
TCP sequence numbers of the host you are attacking. The method is
|
|
suggests is to connect via SMTP and then drop the connection. There is
|
|
a problem with this - sendmail usually logs failed mail transfers, so
|
|
the host will probably be able to correlate this with the time of the
|
|
attack and find out who you are. Further, this connection must be done
|
|
from a non-spoofed IP address to guarantee you get a returned packet.
|
|
There are two options available here:
|
|
|
|
1) Forge the sequence sampling connection as another host on your subnet
|
|
(although if they contact your provider and your provider logs massive
|
|
data, you're busted - also this will not work if the local network uses
|
|
an active hub)
|
|
|
|
2) Make sure to remove these traces if you manage to crack the machine -
|
|
this is all or nothing - if you fail to crack it, but left indicators of
|
|
an attack, you are screwed. (again only if your provider logs heavily)
|
|
|
|
If you want to circumvent these dangers altogether, simply sample the
|
|
sequence numbers from some highly non-logging port. The standard inetd
|
|
server for UNIX runs a TCP echo, discard and chargen service, which you
|
|
can get sequence numbers from, and does not log anything.
|
|
|
|
There are two complications to this attack which are becoming
|
|
increasingly used, and which effectively prevent it.
|
|
|
|
1) Some providers do not allow foreign IP addresses to go out of their
|
|
subnet as source IP addresses - this is done through router blocking.
|
|
Most sites just don't give a damn or are too stupid to figure out how to
|
|
do it, but the number of providers doing this is increasing. You could
|
|
try to hack their router - easy to find, do a traceroute, but chances of
|
|
success are slim if it doesn't allow remote logins. Also, your ISP will
|
|
know if this happens, and may take additional precautions immediately
|
|
(such as grabbing your ethernet address if you are on a local network -
|
|
then you are f!!ked) We don't want any minors reading this to see any
|
|
offensive words, do we - oh lord, they might even ban phrack in the
|
|
state of Texas. No offense to anyone from Tx unless they deserve it.
|
|
|
|
2) Some OS's use pseudo-random number generators to create TCP sequence
|
|
numbers at the beginning of each connection. This is easy to do under
|
|
Linux, and I think some commercial OS's might even be doing this now
|
|
(anyone have confirmation of the rumor that Solaris now does this?)
|
|
Now, this is easy to check for - connect twice in immediate succession
|
|
and see if you get two sequential (or close) numbers. However, a
|
|
workaround for this would be to generate pseudo-random sequence numbers
|
|
for the first connection from a given IP address (and then again when
|
|
the IP layer no longer has any knowledge of this IP address) If a site
|
|
was running non-crypto pseudo-random sequences, it would be possible to
|
|
analyze it using a spectral test to try to predict sequence numbers, but
|
|
if they use a cryptographically secure sequence generator, you would
|
|
have to break it (probably not too hard since any highly secure crypto
|
|
sequence would make IP response time unreasonably slow) A
|
|
counter-solution to this would be to generate random numbers in low cpu
|
|
load time, and have a buffer of them for later use. Here, we could
|
|
probably go on forever with attacks and countermeasures, so lets stop
|
|
now, as a cure for sanity.
|
|
|
|
As an aside note for the highly paranoid: ethernet spoofing
|
|
|
|
Note: some of this is theorized, and might not be 100% accurate - if you
|
|
get the jist of it, you should be able to figure out if it works for
|
|
you.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to spoof ethernet hardware addresses as well. Some cards
|
|
will allow you to do this easily, but you need to have card programming
|
|
docs (check the Linux kernel source for your card driver-!!). Others
|
|
won't let you do it at all, and require a ROM change, or worse it might
|
|
be solid state logic on the card - EVIL. Course you might be able to
|
|
get around solid state stuff by recoding the ROM, but I wouldn't
|
|
recommend it unless you don't have the $70 to buy a new card, and have a
|
|
month or two to spend in the basement.
|
|
|
|
If you make up an ethernet address, you should probably use a real card
|
|
identifier (the first three bytes). This is because some sniffing
|
|
software raises warning flags when unknown card identifiers pop up, and
|
|
this software is run by more network admins than I'd like to think.
|
|
|
|
Some new hub technologies may limit this type of spoofing- most notably,
|
|
active hubs wouldn't allow it at all. Other new hub designs use
|
|
mappings of ethernet address to specific ports on the hub, so you might
|
|
not be able to change the address without turning off the machine,
|
|
waiting for the hub to time out the address, and rebooting.
|
|
|
|
Ethernet hardware address spoofing will make a machine completely
|
|
undetectable, provided it is not the only machine on a network that is
|
|
being monitored.
|
|
|
|
There may be a way around active hubs, and this is multicast ethernet
|
|
addresses. Any network card capable of multicast should be able to send
|
|
packets with an ethernet multicast address. This address is not
|
|
specific to each card, as many cards can send and receive on the same
|
|
multicast address. The problem here is router and hub technology may
|
|
have already advanced to the point where it can distinguish multicast
|
|
ethernet addresses and convert them to multicast IP addresses, which
|
|
would not allow you to spoof. This is only theoretical - I haven't
|
|
tried it, don't know anyone who has, and have never even heard rumors
|
|
about it.
|
|
|
|
Note : this information is in no means comprehensive - I don't have the
|
|
time or resources to study it, but most likely results in ethernet
|
|
spoofing vary by the manufacturers of the network hardware all the way
|
|
down the local line - (i.e - ethernet card all the way to the first
|
|
gateway)
|
|
|
|
Another aside: return path rerouting
|
|
|
|
In return path rerouting, the IP spoofing attack follows the same
|
|
general principal, except that the attacking machine gets reply packets,
|
|
and does not need to operate blind. There are three ways to make this
|
|
work:
|
|
|
|
1) Pretending to be a trusted host on your subnet
|
|
Easy, just pick up packets destined for the trusted machine which
|
|
look like responses to your forged packets, and send on their IP
|
|
address, and SYN flood their machine. This will even work past
|
|
blocking ISP's
|
|
|
|
2) Source routing attack
|
|
Medium difficulty, you have to construct a path between your machine
|
|
and the target, and a path between your machine and the trusted host
|
|
(although the last part can be made up). Use this and either the
|
|
strict or loose IP routing option, and all packets will come back to=20
|
|
you. This will not work nearly as much, since many hosts and=20
|
|
routers discard source routed packets (it is a well-known flaw in=20
|
|
TCP/IP now). However, mightn't buggy implementations only discard
|
|
one type of source routing?
|
|
|
|
3) Experimental - ICMP redirect attack
|
|
Try using ICMP redirects to redirect the packets back to the=20
|
|
attacking machine. ICMP redirects should only be accepted to=20
|
|
machines on a local subnet, but buggy implementations might not do
|
|
this correctly (actually, I think the Host Requirements RFC says=20
|
|
this is recommended, not required). Also, it may be possible to =20
|
|
create a path using redirects or forged routing updates to direct
|
|
traffic to a trusted site back to the attacking site. After the
|
|
attack, the routing information could be repaired, making it seem
|
|
like a temporary network failure. If anyone followed this and knows
|
|
what I mean, let me know if you think it's possible. =20

DEATH TO THE INNOCENT

I WENT TO A PARTY, MOM, I REMBERED WHAT YOU SAID.
|
|
YOU TOLD ME NOT TO DRINK, MOM, SO I DRANK SODA INSTEAD.
|
|
I REALLY FELT PROUD INSIDE, MOM, THE WAY YOU SAID I WOULD.
|
|
I DIDN'T DRINK AND DRIVE, MOM, THOUGH THE OTHERS SAID I SHOULD.
|
|
I KNOW I DID THE RIGHT THING, MOM, I KNOW YOUR ALWAYS RIGHT.
|
|
NOW THE PARTY IS ENDING, MOM, AS EVERONE IS DRIVING OUT OF SIGHT.
|
|
|
|
AS I GOT INTO MY CAR, MOM, I KNEW I'D GET HOME IN ONE PIECE.
|
|
BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU RAISED ME, SO RESPONSIBLE AND SWEET.
|
|
I STARTED DRIVING AWAY, MOM, BUT AS I PULLED INTO THE ROAD,
|
|
THE OTHER CAR DIDN'T SEE ME, MOM, AND HIT ME LIKE A LOAD.
|
|
AS I LAY HERE ON THE PAVEMENT, MOM, I HEAR THE POLICE MAN SAY,
|
|
THE OTHER GUY IS DRUNK, MOM, AND NOW I'M THE ONE WHO WILL PAY.
|
|
I'M LYING HERE DYING. MOM, I WISH YOU'D GET HERE SOON.
|
|
|
|
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME, MOM? MY LIFE JUST BURST LIKE A BALLOON.
|
|
THERE IS BLOOD ALL AROUND ME, MOM, AND MOST OF IT IS MINE.
|
|
I HEAR THE MEDIC SAY, MOM, I'LL DIE IN A SHORT TIME.
|
|
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU, MOM, I SWEAR I DIDN'T DRINK.
|
|
IT WAS THE OTHERS, MOM. THE OTHERS DID NOT THINK.
|
|
HE WAS PROBIBLY AT THE SAME PARTY AS I.
|
|
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, HE DRANK AND I WILL DIE.
|
|
|
|
WHY DO PEOPLE DRINK, MOM? IT CAN RUIN YOUR HOLE LIFE.
|
|
I'M FEELING SHARP PAINS NOW. PAINS JUST LIKE A KNIFE.
|
|
THE GUY WHO HIT ME IS WALKING, MOM, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR.
|
|
I'M LYING HERE DYING AND ALL HE CAN DO IS STARE.
|
|
|
|
TELL MY BROTHER NOT TO CRY MOM, TELL DADDY TO BE BRAVE.
|
|
AND WHEN I GO TO HEAVEN, MOM, PUT DADDY'S GIRL ON MY GRAVE.
|
|
SOMEONE SHOUYLD HAVE TOLD HIM, MOM, NOT TO DRINK AND DRIVE.
|
|
IF ONLY THEY HAD TOLD HIM, MOM, I WOULD STILL BE ALIVE.
|
|
|
|
MY BREATH IS GETTING SHORTER, MOM. I'M BECOMING VERY SCARED.
|
|
PLEASE DON'T CRY FOR ME, MOM, WHEN I NEEDED YOU, YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE.
|
|
I HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION, MOM, BEFORE I SAY GOODBYE.
|
|
I DIDN'T DRINK AND DRIVE, MOM, SO WHY AM I THE ONE TO DIE?

thanx for the help,

[In almost any city with running water and electricity (and yes,
|
|
even San Antonio qualifies as of this writing), in any local computer
|
|
store you will find local compu-nerd publications. I think in San Antonio
|
|
its "Computer User." In any case, in the back are usually listings of

local bulletin boards. Start with these, and eventually you will come

across the kinds of bulletin boards you really want. ]

The trial of the Danes arrested in the article I wrote in #47 has now
|
|
ended. No jail sentences, just community service up to 200 hours (me)
|
|
and a fine of 30.000Dkr. (apx. $5000).
|
|
|
|
Anyway, remember I wrote you about the article being quoted and
|
|
translated to Danish in a Danish magazine? Well, after the same magazine
|
|
published our REAL names, adrs with the advice not to hire us for any
|
|
jobs I got pretty sick of them and sent them a bill of DKr 5000, billing
|
|
them for my article.=20
|
|
|
|
Of course, they won't pay me (would rather go to court) so now I'm
|
|
considering taking them on their word. The company I'd be going after
|
|
is a daughtercompany of Coopers & Lybrand and is called Institute of
|
|
Datasecurity. Most of their employees seem to be notorious idiots, always
|
|
proclaiming themselves in the media with the anecdotes of yesterday. They
|
|
even gave out an award (money) to the DA who prosecuted us for doing
|
|
a nice job!=20

Dear Phrack,
|
|
|
|
Great job on issue 49. I enjoyed the section in Line Noise about ID
|
|
machine hacking. Anyway, I wanted to say that Phrack rules; it is by
|
|
far my favorite computer hobbyist magazine. By the way, I remember reading=
|
|
a
|
|
letter that a reader sent in, about some queer selling bound volumes of=
|
|
Phrack,
|
|
LOD Tech Journals, and virus source code. A similar occurance happended to
|
|
me when I found that some wannabe-elite pseudo-hacker was selling printed
|
|
copies of Phrack, 40 Hex, Digital Free Press, and Xeroxed copies of=
|
|
alt.2600.
|
|
I was curious, to say the least, and felt compelled to defend the honor of
|
|
those aforementioned publications. I talked to the fag, and I gained his
|
|
trust by using undecipherable hacker jargon that he seemed awed by. It=
|
|
turns
|
|
out that he had been distributing pirated junk on his PC, using an=
|
|
unregistered
|
|
copy of Serv-U. I gave him a registration crack, and in return he gave me=
|
|
an
|
|
account on his machine, so I could download his warez. I logged on to
|
|
his PC one day, and I quickly found the serv-u.ini file with the encrypted
|
|
passwords.
|
|
|
|
Since Serv-U uses Unix style encryption, I cracked his personal account
|
|
in about 17 minutes. He kept a TCP/IP connection open from 4pm to 11pm
|
|
every evening, and I logged on as him one day. I uploaded a virus to the
|
|
windows system directory and renamed it something benign, and then I edited
|
|
his autoexec.bat to execute it (I also used Fixtime from the Nowhere
|
|
Utilities 2.0 to make it smooth). I haven't heard from him since. That
|
|
one was a simple job to protect the rights of cool magazines like Phrack!
|
|
|
|
Take it easy, and keep the issues coming.

Hi there !
|
|
|
|
Your article of the PIC16C84-Phonecard includes a uuencoded part
|
|
that contains the file "telecard.zip". telecard.zip contains the file
|
|
telecard.pcb which was created with Tango PCB Series 2.
|
|
My version of Accel Tango PCB Version 12 is not able to read this file.
|
|
So, I want to ask you, if its possible to send me this file in ASCII-Format
|
|
or (better) in a graphic-format like PCX or GIF.
|
|
A HP-Laserjet-prn-viewer would be useful, too.
|
|
I was also not able to read the schematic-file. Maybe you know a
|
|
location on the internet where I can get an evaluation version of the
|
|
older version of Tango PCB Series II.
|
|
|
|
[ Actually, we've got the same problem here at Phrack. Anyone out there
|
|
who can help, please send us email and we'll get it out to the

Hi my name is Konrad. I live in Ottawa, Onratio (Canada). I have a
|
|
question about one thing. When I download a trial program from internet,
|
|
it is only good for 30 days, and when it expires it writes that, to some
|
|
file so I tried reinsalling and redownloading the program, but when I
|
|
tried to run it, it gave me a message that this version is expired and
|
|
that I have to purchase the program. Do you know, to what file it
|
|
registers that it has expired, and how to disable it. If you don't know
|
|
how to do it, maybe you know someone that might be able to do it, and
|
|
forward my address to them. It is very important to me, because I'm
|
|
finishing a home page called Teen Online and my graphic program expired
|
|
(TrueSpace2) and there is no way that I can afford it, so I rather stick
|
|
to trial version. Ok... Thanks for your time.=20
|
|
Konrad
|
|
|
|
[ Usually you can simply reinstall these trial programs and use them
|
|
for another 30 days. With others, you can change your system date
|
|
back, or edit a date in an INI file. It all depends on the program.
|
|
Try some of these things and let us know what works. ]

I'm using BPI Accounts Receviable System Version 1.10 for IBM
|
|
Released September 1983
|
|
|
|
It has whats called a "key disk" that allows only the person with that
|
|
disk to closeout the program or month. The problem is this, when I make
|
|
a copy of this Key Disk the files match the original to the T.. There are
|
|
only 2 files involved. But, when I try to closeout, BPI asks me to insert
|
|
the Key Disk and press enter to proceed. When I do this with the "copy"
|
|
of the Key Disk the BPI program tells me that the copy is not a Key Disk.
|
|
This only happens with the copy, any ideas?=20
|
|
|
|
Both Key Disks contain the same information. If I try to activate the
|
|
close directly from the Key Disk Copy it tells me that it can't find a
|
|
file, basrun.exe I checked and this file is part of the BPI Directory on C:
|
|
I've used this accounting software for many years and it works well.
|
|
But I'm afraid the good Key Disk may go bad one day and I'll be stuck.
|
|
Thats why I'm trying to make a copy. Any help would be appreciated.
|
|
|
|
[ Obviously there is something else on that disk that a normal copy
|
|
is not getting. Maybe something as simple as a volume label or
|
|
some hidden files.
|
|
|
|
The easiest thing to do to get around this is make a sector by sector copy
|
|
to a disk image file using some kind of program like the UNIX command "dd"
|
|
and then copy that image back onto a blank diskette. ]

Hi!
|
|
|
|
Here I have something for you, which may be interesting in your news=
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
Sometime during the night between Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th,
|
|
hackers broke into one of Telenor Nextel's webservers and deleted the=
|
|
homepages
|
|
of 11.000 private customers and 70 corporate customers, among them the=
|
|
homepages
|
|
of Norway's two largest newpapers VG and Dagbladet, and the largest online=
|
|
news
|
|
magazine, Nettavisen.
|
|
|
|
The hackers somehow got access to hidden scripts, and after modifying and
|
|
manipulating them ran them, thereby deleting all the files mentioned.
|
|
|
|
Early Sunday, the ISP Telenor Nextel started restoring files from a backup=
|
|
made
|
|
Saturday, but after encountering problems with that one, they had to restore
|
|
from Tuesday's backup. Saturday's backup will be added sometime during=
|
|
Monday.
|
|
=D8kokrim, Norwegian police's department for Economic Crime has been=
|
|
contacted.
|
|
=09
|
|
Reactions:
|
|
|
|
Sverre Holm of Norway's Organization for Internet Users (http://www.ibio.no)
|
|
criticize Telenor for lack of proper information, as well as an unhealthy
|
|
attitude. In response to Telenor's comment that they can't guarantee this=
|
|
won't
|
|
happen again, he says, "Such an attitude can't be tolerated. If this is what
|
|
Telenor means, then we have a serious problem here."
|
|
|
|
Other reactions will surely come in the next days.

Hey, did you know that Juno (the nationwide free email service) has PPP
|
|
access? Free? To superusers only? Who login directly to their terminals
|
|
that have no ANI? And that they are complete fucking idiots, because in
|
|
every juno.ini file buried deep in the /juno/user00000x/ directory there is
|
|
a section called "Variables" which lists at least one Juno server account,
|
|
i.e. "junox14" and a password for it. These work. Not that I've tried them,
|
|
or do this, or can be held in any way legally responsible for my non-PGP

encrypted actions, which do not show my views, and are protected under the

Hi. I've got a strange request. We're putting together a case that
|
|
encourages the U.S. to loosen its encryption export policies.
|
|
|
|
Do you know of any written resources that discuss the ability of hackers
|
|
to break into NASA, tamper with launches or satellites? The folks at
|
|
infowar.com insist that it is possible, but say that confidentiality
|
|
won't allow them to publish that fact.
|
|
|
|
We need written evidence to document the case, you understand.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

[ I'd suggest you talk to Emmanuel Goldstein at 2600. The whole

on a BBS in New Jersey called "The Private Sector." Reporters
|
|
siezed on it, resulting in headlines like "Wiz Kids Zap Satellites."

2600 wrote about this in I believe 1984 or 1985. Check with them for

|
|
An Oki-900 with CTEK cable hooked to a PC running omnicell tracking
|
|
calls. A motorola brick phone in debug mode, hooked to a 25db gain
|
|
yagi antenna (on a tripod) pointed out the window. As Omnicell locked
|
|
in on interesting calls, the Motorola was tuned to the corresponding
|
|
channel, Tx Audio turned on, various humorous interrupts were uttered,
|
|
and Tx Audio turned off so the party being "contacted" wouldn't be
|
|
thrown off their cell channel by our more powerful broadcast.
|
|
Very simple.
|
|
5. The mailing list now is so huge that it will only serve to let people
|
|
know when issues are going out, special bulletins, etc. Mailing out
|
|
a meg to almost 30,000 people causes serious problems to the Internet,

I'm doing research on hackers for my LIB 105 class and have come across
|
|
some of what I guess is tech speak or jargon. I've noticed that the
|
|
letters 'PH' are frequently used to intentionaly mispell the words
|
|
phreak, lopht, and in Phrak Magazine. Is there a reason behind all of
|
|
these PHunny spellings?
|
|
|
|
[ Uh, PH as in Phone. From the old Phone "Phreak" subculture of the
|
|
late 60's, early 70's.]

I think a great idea for a future article would be how to make a decoder
|
|
card for a DSS sattelite reciever with some easy commercial stuff and a
|
|
cmos Z-80 I.C. ...
|
|
|
|
[ If it were that easy, there would be a bigger number of players in the
|
|
billion dollar industry of satellite piracy. A key figure in that
|
|
closed community once told me that it cost them about $1,000,000 US to
|
|
crack each new rev of smart card. (But when you figure that means only
|
|
selling 10000 pirate cards at 100 bucks, the cost of doing business
|
|
is minimal, compared to the cost of the service provider sending out
|
|
new software and cards to each subscriber.) ]

For certain reasons, some people may want to create a new anonymous mail
|
|
box. Did they considered to create it in France?
|
|
A lot of IPS offer the possibility to create mailboxes to those who have
|
|
no computers by using a primitive look-alike telnet system: the French
|
|
Minitel. This is convenient because a couple millions of Minitel have
|
|
been freely distributed in France during the last ten years. The only
|
|
cost is that an overcharge is billed to your phone bill of approx
|
|
35cents per minute. But this is perfectly legal and hard to trace back.
|
|
Hyperterminal (at least in its french version) emulates the french
|
|
minitel.
|
|
|
|
The only thing is to dial 3615 in France and use one of this server:
|
|
ABCNET, ACENET, ADNET, ALTERN,FASTNET,EMAIL...
|
|
For example, EMAIL creates an e-mail adresse like:
|
|
pseudonym@xmail.org.
|
|
|
|
The only thing is that you have to know a little bit of French to use
|
|
it, but just a little bit. The cost of a call (International and
|
|
Minitel overcharge) should not be a problem to some of you.
|
|
LeFrenchie
|
|
|
|
[ This is a good idea. People outside of France don't know much about
|
|
Minitel, (Or any videotext systems) since they failed in a big way
|
|
here in the states and most other countries. Many old hackers might
|
|
remember some of the Minitel Chat systems also accessible over X.25 such
|
|
as QSD (208057040540), but without emulation software wouldn't have
|
|
ever had access to the real Minitel. ]

|

is this just a matter of Modern (Mastodon) buffalo hunting: They

go down the same big or small. Specifically , beyond smart self

learning systems can a server realy prevent contamination without

the intervention of beings? My sister a suposed Webmistress says

there are intervening buffers, I still see that between what ever,

there is a very big freaking leap of faith..

[ Uh, if you think the "firewall" is that light buffer between the wires,

then you have missed the point. A firewall in the networking context is
|
|
not the same as the metal firewall in your automobile....it is merely
|
|
a metaphor that has been adopted as the term d'jour.

I think issue 49 was great, not to mention getting it out on time. I do have

a suggestion though. The past few issues of Phrack have focused mainly on=20
|

UNIX and not much else. I think UNIX is a great OS, but it would be cool if

occasionally you would print a few articles about other systems. I would=20

I just finished reading issue 48, and congratulate you on some excellent
|
|
techinical articles. I have only one (rather insignificant) comment:
|
|
within the article #13 on project neptune, it was stated: "[the urgent
|
|
pointer] is TCP's way of implementing out of band (OOB) data." Actually,
|
|
URG pointers are in band (specification-wise), however most (but not all)
|
|
TCP implementations map the URG flag to out of band. While this point is
|
|
irrelevant to SYN flooding, I thought I would present it in case anyone who
|
|
read the article is interested in pursuing any nuts & bolts transport layer
|
|
implementations. Keep up the good work, and keep turning out more of this
|
|
kind of technical information.

Listen... you've probably been noticing that I've mailed you guys a
|
|
couple times asking for help with hacking. Before I have never recieved
|
|
any mail back. You have got to please mail me back this time. I found
|
|
something on accident that is really out of my league. You guys are the
|
|
best I know of that might be able to help me. I really need your help on
|
|
this one. I was fucken around on Telnet just typing in numbers in the
|
|
Chicago area code. On accident I typed in numbers and I entered a NASA
|
|
Packet Switching System ( NPSS). It said it was a government computer
|
|
system and to leave right away. Please mail me back for the numbers. I
|
|
need your help to get into this system.... I need yer help.
|
|
|
|
[ Let me guess, you typed the prefix 321 instead of 312 while playing
|
|
on Telenet. The systems you'll find on that prefix have been hacked
|
|
at for nearly two decades now. Systems on the network were targeted
|
|
in the 80's by Germany's Chaos Computer Club, and I personally know
|
|
they have been poked at by groups in the US, UK and Australia
|
|
starting back in 1981.
|
|
|
|
What I'm trying to say is, after so many years of people beating on the
|
|
same few systems, shouldn't you look for something a bit less stale? ]

Dear phrack,

I want to be added to the list. I was also wondering if you had ay

publications or information on TEMPEST monitoring? Also know as Van Eck

|

I just read your editorial in Phrack 48 and I feel like giving you my two=
|
|
cents
|
|
worth. I think you did an excellent critique on the "scene." As a person
|
|
who has been watching for a while, and as a person who has been through it,
|
|
I found it nice, to say the least, to find others who actually seem to have
|
|
their head on straight. This letter was originally much longer, but I
|
|
shortened it because I think you get the point.
|
|
|
|
I started programming computers in 1983 at the age of 6. I was running
|
|
DOS 2.0 and I had a blazing fast 1200 baud modem. At the time, I had
|
|
no mentors, no teachers, no friends that could teach me how to use that
|
|
incredible machine. The books of the time were cryptic, especially for an
|
|
age where most children could not read, much less program. But I did my=
|
|
best.
|
|
Ten years later, I was still on my own.
|
|
|
|
I didn't get ahold of a copy of Phrack until 1991. I thought it was really
|
|
cool that people like me would get together and exchange infomation, talk
|
|
computers, etc.
|
|
|
|
In '94, I got into viruses and prolly was one of the better independant
|
|
(i.e. not in a group) writers. It was about that time I got onto IRC.
|
|
Most of the time I would hang out in #virus, but every now and then I
|
|
would pop into #hack. I never stayed...I couldn't stand the arrogance.
|
|
|
|
Shortly before I went to school, I was in competition for control of a
|
|
new freenet versus a local hacker group. A month after I went to college,
|
|
that group got busted. I got lucky.
|
|
|
|
Earlier this year, I went on Good Morning America to talk about viruses.
|
|
Looking back, it is prolly the single dumbest thing I have done in my
|
|
whole life.
|
|
|
|
As much as I wanted to, I've never been to a 2600 meeting, never been to
|
|
a Con. Never really had any hacker friends. It's always been just me.
|
|
I'm sure I know less about breaking into computers than the guy who has
|
|
been doing it for a week but has access to tons of partners. But I still
|
|
consider myself a hacker. My interest has been one of learning about the
|
|
system. I've been learning longer than most. I rarely break into
|
|
a system. I have access to unix systems, and even a VAX. I don't want
|
|
the latest hacking tools. I write my own, with my theories. I don't
|
|
need much else. But I've never had anyone to share it with. But I think I
|
|
realize that the past is the past, and I won't ever get to attend the old
|
|
cons or sit on conference calls, as much as I'd love to. I won't bother
|
|
with the latest cons because I can get the same stuff at a college party.
|
|
|
|
Well, that is about it. I apologize if it is poorly written. Bad english
|
|
skills :) I hate writing these because I grow tired of getting slammed
|
|
by some arrogant asshole. Thats prolly why I have been doing this alone
|
|
for 13 years. After your editorial, I wonder how many people will stop
|
|
showing up at the cons...I hate the isolation, but I would never want to
|
|
be a part of a "scene" which has turned from mature goals to juvenile
|
|
ones. Just my thoughts...

[ Actually, I have more respect for the people who continue to stay in the
|

fringes, learning on their own rather than scurrying for attention
|
|
in the media and in the community. (Yes, like me.)
|
|
|
|
To be fair though, don't sell yourself short by avoiding Cons if you
|
|
really want to check them out. Despite all the ranting I did in that
|
|
editorial, I still have many friends in the community and enjoy
|
|
meeting new ones at conferences. Not everyone thinks it is cool
|
|
to trash a hotel, or to try to out "elite" one another. Unfortunately,
|
|
the loudest and most visible people at such events tend to be the
|
|
most juvenile. If you find this happening, do what I do: get the
|
|
hell out of the conference area and find a convenient bar. The older
|
|
hackers will eventually find you there, and you can all drink in peace
|
|
and actually talk unmolested. ]

Dear Phrack --

Been a reader since the 80s, and I'm one of the originals... Would like
|

to submit a poem that I wrote that details the experience of a hacker

who left the scene for several years -- Coming back to find it in utter
|

Dissaray... Definitely not the way he left it... Well -- You guys will

"Where Have All The Hackers Gone"?
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Original Poetry by: Jump'n Jack Flash -916-
|
|
|
|
|
|
On a cold night in the dead of winter a soul stumbles into #hack and asks:
|
|
'Where have all the Hackers Gone?'
|
|
|
|
Immediately the group recognizes him as one of the originals.
|
|
|
|
'Help us change our grades!' a voice calls out from the huddled masses.
|
|
'Help me hack root on a NYNEX system!' another voice asks.
|
|
|
|
The soul clutches his bowed head and covers his ears, trying to remember
|
|
back to before he involuntarily left the scene a few years ago.
|
|
|
|
'The only thing that kept me sane while I was imprisioned was the
|
|
thought of seeing my friends and fellow hackers, now I demand you tell
|
|
me Where Have All The Hackers Gone?' the soul begs the crowd of jubulent
|
|
newbies.
|
|
|
|
Silence is the only answer he receives,
|
|
For there are no real hackers here.
|
|
|
|
Then a voice speaks up and says,
|
|
'They're gone! You're the first we've seen!'
|
|
The soul asks,
|
|
'What do you mean?'
|
|
|
|
And Silence is the only answer he receives,
|
|
For there are now real hackers here.
|
|
|
|
And like a wall crumbling down it comes to him and he falls to his knees,
|
|
like hunting for human life after a Nuclear war he stumbles out of the room,
|
|
And he hurries to the place where only the Elite could go just a few years=
|
|
ago,
|
|
But when he arrives he is shocked and amazed,
|
|
There are no hackers here on this dark winter day.
|
|
|
|
And he stumbles into traffic,
|
|
feeling the snow crunch beneath his feet,
|
|
and he shouts into the night for the elite,
|
|
|
|
'Where Have All The Hackers Gone?'
|
|
|
|
And Silence is the only answer he receives,
|
|
For there are no real hackers here.
|

Hello !!!
|
|
|
|
I just read in P48-02 the letter of the russian subscriber who tells you=20
|
|
(the editors) the story about the FAPSI and they plan to order all=20
|
|
ISPs to provide for a possibilty for them to read all the mail.
|
|
|
|
In the editor's note below that you say that you fear your country (I assume
|
|
it's the USA) is also heading towards that goal.=20
|
|
|
|
Well, I live in Germany, and it has already happened here. That means,=20
|
|
every ISP (and this is not the exact term, as it also includes all sorts
|
|
of information providers, ie telephone companies - but excludes=20
|
|
private BBSs, I believe) are forced to provide a method that not only
|
|
- Allows the government/police to read everything that is written but also
|
|
- Without even the ISP noticing it (though I don't know how this would=20
|
|
be ensured, technically).
|
|
=20
|
|
OK, this is not the same as in Russia, as they don't copy ALL the mail and=
|
|
=20
|
|
news, but only that of persons suspected of a crime strong enough=20
|
|
to allow it, ie it's the same thing that's needed to open people's=20
|

mails. Still, I feel it's certainly a step in the wrong direction.

Hello, I want to be a hacker and I need some help. I have read
|
|
countless reports on UNIX, VMS, and all that other jazz but that still
|
|
doesn't help me with my problem.
|
|
|
|
I want to be able to hack into someone's home PC from my own home. Now,
|
|
most PC's aren't capable of doing this but, this person has a
|
|
connection on the internet and is also linked to his work in LONDON,
|
|
ONTARIO at a place called IAPA. (industrial accident prevention
|
|
association) Anyway, he runs WINDOWS 95' and is using NETCOM. Now I
|
|
know his password if that does me any good, but how do I go about doing
|
|
this?
|
|
|
|
SHAOULIN
|
|
|
|
[ When you say "I want to hack his home PC" what do you mean?
|
|
|
|
Just because he uses NETCOM, that doesn't mean you can find him. He is
|
|
probably being assigned a dynamic IP address each time he calls in to the
|
|
network. Even so, let's say you can discern his IP address. Even if
|
|
a computer is hooked into the Internet, it is only as insecure
|
|
as the services it offers to the world.
|
|
|
|
If your friend is running Windows 95, then you may only be limited
|
|
to attacking any SMB-style shared directories or perhaps via FTP.
|
|
In either case, if you know this person's password, then you can
|
|
probably read/write anything you want to on their system.
|
|
Run a port scanner against it and see what you can access, and
|
|
plan based on that. ]

10 or 12 different numbers starting at 475-1072. Curious about this, I

called one back, using a mini-terminal. What I expected wasn't this. What

it said is in the file attached to the letter. It says the same thing with

[ What you have connected into is more than likely a kind of terminal
|
|
server. From there you can usually enter a system name to connect
|
|
directly into the specified system, or enter in "cli" to go into the
|
|
command line interpreter where you have more options to choose from
|
|
including "help." ]

Do you know where I can find texts on hacking into the California=20
|
|
Department of Motor Vehicle Records? My friend's identity was stolen=20
|
|
for credit card fraud and the person who did it even went so far as to=20
|
|
get a CA driver's license to impersonate her. The worst part is that=20
|
|
Visa won't release a copy of the fraudulent person's fake driver's=20
|
|
license to my friend, so she can't find out who this person actually is.=20
|
|
Do you know of any other ways we can get this person?
|
|
|
|
Binky
|
|
|
|
[ Gee, Binky. If VISA is involved and it was credit card fraud, then
|
|
is the Secret Service involved too? If so, then why on earth do you
|
|
(or your friend) want to get in the middle of it? You'll know soon
|
|
enough who the person is when they get charged, or is this just a
|
|
Charles Bronson style vigilante thing?
|
|
|
|
California's DMV (as well as most public records databases in that
|
|
state) is kept somewhat restricted to public queries due to the large
|
|
number of celebrities living in the state, or otherwise you could just
|
|
go buy the information directly from the state.
|
|
|
|
If you're thinking about pulling a "Mitnick" and breaking into such
|
|
a database, then you better know something about IBM mainframes and
|
|
know how to defeat RACF. Or be willing to dig around in the trash
|
|
until you locate a valid account. Even if you find a valid RACF userid,
|
|
you will have 3-5 tries per account to guess a valid password until the
|
|
account is locked out (which of course will let them know you were
|
|
trying to hack them.)
|
|
|
|
For an easier solution, you might want to looking in the yellow pages
|
|
for a private investigator and have them do a search on Information
|
|
America or NIA and get the listing for you, or bribe a civil servant. ]
