==Phrack Inc.== Volume Two, Issue 20, File 1 of 12 Phrack Inc. Newsletter Issue XX Index ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to Phrack XX, the end of the old and beginning of the new. The original hard luck heroes are back from retirement (or are they?). Originally, this was going to be an issue put out by Crimson Death to show what the end of Metal Shop Private was all about as well as to end the association of Metal Shop with Phrack Inc., but things just didn't seem to quite happen that way. As of today, October 12, 1988, Knight Lightning and Taran King are once again the chief editors of Phrack Inc. with the help of Epsilon and The Prophet. This particular issue is dedicated to Metal Shop Private. Most of the files, with the exception of this Index, the Phrack Pro-Phile on Taran King, the Timeline, and Phrack World News XX, all files contain the contents of Metal Shop Private as of the day it went down with a few exceptions. Because of the "Days until deletion" function, many of the messages were lost when we ran the board again. Most, if not all, subboards were filled close to the 100 message mark. We apologize for not being clever enough to predict the results of running the program after such a long time, but you should get a good idea of what went on within the domain of Metal Shop Private. We hope you enjoy it, and be watching soon for Phrack XXI. Good to be back!

Phrack World News XX Featuring SummerCon '88 ^*^ ========================================================================= ========================================================================= ==Phrack Inc.== Volume Two, Issue 20, File 2 of 12 ==Phrack Pro-Phile XX== Written and Created by Taran King 1/5/88 Welcome to the Phrack Pro-Phile XX. Phrack Pro-Phile was created to bring info to you, the users, about old or highly important/controversial people. This month, I bring to you someone who you all have seen and heard of... Taran King ~~~~~~~~~~ (me!) Taran King (I) was the sysop of Metal Shop Private, a private exchange for telecommunications enthusiasts (phone phreaks and hackers) as well as being the home-base of Phrack Inc. which I ran. I also had a hand in the organization of SummerCon '87 and PartyCon '87. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Personal ~~~~~~~~ Handle: Taran King Call him: Randy, Randster, Randall, whatever (real name is Rand) Past handles: None Handle origin: The main character in The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander Date of Birth: 7/11/69 Age at current date: 19 years old Height: 5'10" or so (give or take an inch) Weight: 135-140 lbs. (I hate fat people) Eye color: Brown Hair Color: Brown Computers: IBM PC, later with a hard drive added. Sysop/Co-Sysop of: Metal Shop Private, The Brewery, Quick Shop/Metal Shop AE, Whackoland, The Dark Tower, Digital ITS (proud of that one) and probably a few more I've forgotten about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started out in the BBS world in September of 1983 when a friend gave me numbers to different modems which included things to hack on as well as bulletin boards. I actually got my computer in late June of that year, but didn't understand the concept of the modem until that point. I got involved with David Lightman (314)'s board before it went up by beta-testing it for him at times and when he put it up, I ended up being user 2 and then soon after, co-sysop of The Dark Tower. It was there that my local notariety became strong and a few people from the nation started calling in. His board was very good with what he had and the little advertising that it got, but it eventually went down. It was at that point when I started getting around nationally and was able to make connections of my own. I put up Metal Shop: The Dark Tower Phase II a bit after because St. Louis totally lacked bulletin boards that dealt with hacking or phreaking. I advertised around the country and drew in quite a crowd. The board excelled with time to the point of having around 500 users when it got to be a security risk in my eyes and we put in the general password system (made by Cheap Shades, of course). Eventually, that crowd got weeded down to a lot fewer people and some time after that, I was hospitalized. After my release from the hospital, Cheap Shades and I (me on the ideas and Shades on the programming) created a modified version of WWIV BBS program to suit my wants/needs and it resembled the old Shop set-up. As time went on, it became a name of its own through the crowd that hung out on it as well as having Phrack Inc. as being based there. For more detailed explainations of how things came about and about a few things mentioned above, see the big history file in this issue of Phrack Inc. I've met a few members of the phreak/hack world including the following: Knight Lightning, Cheap Shades, Forest Ranger, The W(hack)o Cracko Bros., Dr. Forbin, Data Line, and Reverend Enge (all local to me), as well as Jester Sluggo, Blue Buccaneer, Phantom Phreaker, Doom Prophet, Bill from RNOC, Tuc, Dan The Operator, Lex Luthor, The Leftist, Sir Francis Drake, Loki, Disk Jockey, Control C, Synthetic Slug, Lucifer 666, Mad Hatter, Cutthroat, The Mad Hacker (219), Sir William, Dr. Cypher, Hatchet Molly, Bad Subscript, The Mentor, Cisban Evil Priest, Phrozen Ghost, Surfer Bob, Crimson Death (618), The Dictator, Doc Holiday (901), and The Ur-Vile. Some of the memorable phreak boards I was on (besides my own) included The Dark Tower, The Pipeline, Broadway Show, Zyolog, Stronghold East Elite, Stronghold North, Hell Phrozen Over, Private Sector, Pirate-80, Stalag 13, Lunatic Labs UnLtd., Quick Shop, Metal Shop Brewery, NetSys, The Private Connection, ShadowSpawn, RACS III, The Pearly Gates, Brainstorm Elite, Metalland North, The Alliance, Intergalactic Dismantling, Inc. (IDI), DUNE, Speed Demon Elite, The Abyss, MetroMedia/Danger Zone Private, The Matrix, Thieve's World, FreeWorld II, Flying Circus, Twilight Zone, Septic Tank, The Lost City of Atlantis, Phantasie Realm, CHAMAS, and probably a few others I forgot that were important. Certain knowledge I've gained over the years is attributed to various boards forementioned as well as people like Bill from RNOC, Phantom Phreaker, Doom Prophet, The Videosmith, and many others not to mention reading (a key part to learning technical things) and social engineering. I utterly hate working with computers for anything other than communicating with friends and occasionally word processing. Programming on them is the most repugnant thought in the world to me (no offense Shades!). I've really never been much for hacking at all, although I did gain a bit of an interest through the legitimate accounts I gained on systems such as NetSys run by Terminus in Maryland. Hacking was never really much for me (besides looking at things on dull systems that were totally useless) when I first got the modem. Now that I'm at college and have access to it, I'm learning VM/CMS a bit so that I can use Bitnet and work through/with it. I attended and had a part in organizing both SummerCon '87 and PartyCon '87 (very much in SummerCon and very little in PartyCon). I also attended SummerCon '88 for a little while on each of the days except Sunday. I was supposed to be on the NEW TAP staff, run by the W(hack)o Cracko Bros. as well as being on the staff of Telecomputist (which sponsored SummerCon '87) and doing all but writing articles for Phrack Inc. Other than that, I'm not terribly involved with phreaker/hacker media. The only group I was ever in was The 2600 Club! which later revised into The NEW 2600 Club! which was just as ignorant with more interesting names but about an equal participation in anything. I learned I was able to advance through the phreak world without the booster of a club besides using my board as a reference. I didn't need to rely on the work of others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interests: Telecommunications (basically phreaking knowledge-wise now), music (heavy metal of all sorts plus so much more and playing electric guitar), fraternity life (party), women (white ones, blond, with blue eyes, and NO FAT CHICKS! Namely, Kimberly), driving (and one day, I'll drive that fucking DeLorean!) Taran's Favorite Things ----------------------- Women: Kimberly (see above...I went all out!) Cars: Lamborghini Contachs, DeLoreans, Lotuses, Vectors, etc. Foods: NO VEGETABLES! Music: Heavy metal, Pink Floyd, classic rock. Leisure: Partying, playing guitar, spending time with the woman. Alcoholic fun: Tequila shots, Rum & Coke, good beer (pretty much anything), Long Island Tea, and those funky teas you find at college parties in garbage cans lined with garbage bags (hmm!) Most Memorable Experiences -------------------------- Forest Ranger's conferences (what would YOU do for a Klondike Bar at 3am?). Car accident with Jester Sluggo as well as almost a 2nd time afterwards (keep drinking!). Bell Shock Force conferences (yes ma'am, I'm sorry but you'll just have to cut those wires) Getting busted in late May '87 (don't try it, it ain't fun). SummerCon '87 (a better party than PartyCon '87, met a lot of great people). PartyCon '87 (a lot of fun, but too unorganized although I met a few more people that I had wanted to). SummerCon '88 (wait, did I attend that???). Some People to Mention ---------------------- Knight Lightning (my right hand man; although he wasn't terribly knowledgeable, he was always there and trying to help out and still is!|) David Lightman 314 (for allowing me to use his program to start what turned out to be Metal Shop Private) Man-Tooth (my original 2nd co-sysop next to KL who drove me down to David Lightman's house in South-fucking-County St. Louis for 30 minutes) Dr. Forbin/Mr. Modem (for re-transferring the original program after something got fucked after the ride to South-fucking-County) Forest Ranger (wild man, can't say much about him without getting hurt|) Phantom Phreaker (we found ya for 2600 Club and you excelled far beyond any of the rest of us in the club did, plus you helped my board immensely) Barbie Doll (for suggesting the idea of Phrack Inc. in different words even if nobody knows what or who you were or where you were from) The W(hack)o Cracko Bros. (what a couple of idiots) Oryan Quest (never has there been as bad a pest as this man, but he turned out to be human Mexican, but human| after we were both busted, interestingly enough) Lex Luthor (for freaking me out when he first called my board and contributing a bit here and there) Capt. Hook (taught me a bit about social engineering here and there and introduced me to a few people as well as helping out a couple of times) Cheap Shades (what would Metal Shop have been without the programming mastery of this individual; my left hand man and great friend as well) Tuc (generally a good friend and historical reference as well as creating the Pro-Phile that I based the rest of them on) Bill from RNOC (another one of my best friends who is the smartest person potentially, and definitely the smartest when it comes to phreaking and hacking put together; a great source of information, and one of the most hilarious people I know) Olorin The White (if this guy puts me in his group one more time, I'm gonna kill him!) Inside Jokes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mary likes corn. Are you stupid (corn, cheese, free)? Supervisors at Pizza Hut? Essscuse me Mr. Corley, but I was juss lookin' fo sum bonez...I'm Bosco.

"BIOC Agent 003 was arrested today for stamping his name on his RA's forehead." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm against pretty much all forms of fraud now that I've spent the night in jail, the summer of '87 in pain and waiting, and will spend the next 3 years of my life on probation. I'm not informing to anyone about anything if you have thoughts about that statement, but I have no part in anything fraudulent. I've always thought that carding was the most stupid crime connected with computers and that it's too risky to be worth it in the end. I hope that the future phreaks and hackers keep around and retain what's been built up over the many years since long before I'd heard of phreaking or hacking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you enjoyed this file. Although I had at one time intended on this being my last Pro-Phile, it's actually the first of many to come...And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees. Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? Generally, the cool ones aren't, but of course, in every large group of people, you'll probably find a few geeks here and there. Thanks for your time, Randy. No problem, Randy.

There were a few more things like the format on the upper part of the screen which was windowed off from what was happening on the board which contained the on-line user's information and other things only the sysop would see, but nothing about it was too interesting. I hope you enjoyed seeing all of the things contained on what used to be my board, and I hope you were both suprised and let down at the same time. That's the way it should be because it was, as I so often said, over-rated. Anyway, I'd like to acknowledge the fact that both Control C and The Mad Hacker were going to run Metal Shop Private after my problems arose, but Control C had some problems of his own and after he got the program, he lost it and The Mad Hacker would have run it, but I received notice about something concerning the board which convinced me to keep it down forever. It's all still intact like I said, but it's probably just going to sit on my hard drive until my father needs more room on the hard drive for Lotus 1-2-3 or something and it'll get formatted over. Oh, one last note: For those of you who thought you were hackers and attempted to get my password (which never happened in the history of the board), it was "ME?CRAZY", my phone number was MSP-314-SLAY, and the secondary password necessary to log on as a sysop remotely was "LASHING."

Anyhow, My Easter Sunday went pretty well, I awoke at about 10am with the sun streaming through the window and trying to make its way through the beer tower. I rolled over to the sound of the ocean waves hitting the coast. I got up opened one of last nights beers and walked out onto the balcony intern seeing a great view of Daytona Beach.

I can just see it now: "Unix Hacking - Subop: Solid State." Crax and I were talking about scams today and we came across an interesting topic. It seems that if someone orders something to you in your name (that you didnt pay for) you can keep it, unless the company decides to pay for its return or gets it back theirselves. I can understand that most people are not going to pay to have something shipped back to a company but the idea of "keeping it" doesnt sound right.

I had a hum on my phone line a while back and I had Bell check it out and run some line check stuff and then it went away, perhaps Taran should do the same. :Knight Lightning 10/100: Its a DNR d00d11!!10 Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 9:31 pm Thu Apr 30, 1987 Anyway, my connections to MSP are just fine. The only board I have problems with is Phantasie Realm. Have a question for anyone who grows dope. Someone told me that the pigs have some kind of radar that they use when flying over the woods, fields..etc, that supposedly pick up plants that are growing less than two feet from each other. I dont see how this is possibly at all, but its kind of scary. Also, can anyone give me some good ideas on how to grow it. I already have about 50 planted that are coming up quite well (Im in the money...!) and I use that shit they put on fields for fertilizer. I also germinate my seeds by putting them in wet paper towels in a dark place for a few days before planting them (sprouts up), about 2 inchs deep in garden soil (that shit you buy at k-mart thats supposed to be good dirt). That was a lame question, but I need to know... Speaking of Phantasie Realm, we changed the format for the last time and it looks good. New advanced subs, killed all the assholes, lowe red the access of all the non-contributers, got plenty of files/space, and lots of msgs and discussions. Feel free to call and post the around: (313)641-9649 New: CANON -J 11/100: Dope sniffing Name: The Scanner 20 Date: 8:14 am Fri May 01, 1987 The plane radar idea could have some truth to it. I mean it is very possible . They use planes to control our traffic speed also. I'm sure you have all seen those depth finder things on boats and stuff. Those things can tell you almost exactly whats underneath. Probably the same type of gadget the plane would use. Sounds possible to me. _-The Scanner 12/100: Knowing Name: Doom Prophet 21 Date: 4:13 pm Fri May 01, 1987 Knowing the cops, they probably do have things like that, so they can go out and waste more money in the name of stupid bandwagoning tactics a la Ron and Nancy Reagan, William Bennett, Rehnquest and O'Connor (the latter two were appointed Supreme Court justices, screened by Ronald Reagan and Edwin Meese to make sure they were conservative and conformist enough to the rest of the senile warmonger's administration). Mor e and more money is being wasted in the name of their fucking law and order, their fucking 'Christianity', self righteousness, conservative viewpoints that deny people's civil rights (womens right to an Abortion, Roe Vs Wade decision, the firing of 1/2 of the Civil Rights Commission and probably replacing them with Reagan Lovers, and more). Now the cops will go to exteme lengths (this radar shit and Paraquat poisoning) to make sure that they can have their fucking recreational drugs which are perfectly legal while condemning us as criminals for engaging in other recreational drugs that are less harmful (but ILLEGAL of course, it makes all the difference. Laws are always right and fair, and manipulative enough by those in power as a small child would play with Ronald Reagan's shit, smearing it over the constitution). I can see them also having orgasms and myocardial infarctions when they find plants they think are cannibussativa, only to find out they are sewer weeds, things growing from flowing human waste in fields. 13/100: well... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 8:02 pm Fri May 01, 1987 Yes, well, (watch this tie-in), to show your beliefes ccall the Libertarian BBs in San Jose, CA at: (408) 243-1933 Its a FIDO system run by the Libertarian Party, for those of you who don't know the LP is one of the more popular third parties and has a very laissez faire platform, one main tenet being legalization of victemless crimes. SO call it. sfd /l 14/100: radar Name: The Prophet 23 Date: 4:15 am Sat May 02, 1987 I kind of find the radar idea a bit spaced out... After all, if it picked up pot plants less than 2 feet apart, it would pick up damned near every thing else less than 2 feet apart. In decent sized forest, this could amount to quite a bit of garbage... weeds, small trees, etc. The police DO ariel searches, but I believe (though I'm not sure) that they do it by sight. They usually do this, though, over state- and company- owned land, as most dope-farmers, for some reason, don't own their own forest land. I know for a fact that in my area, they do occasional air searches over some forest land owned by a paper company, but they don't search the forest behind my house owned by my grandfather (otherwise I would be in or under a jail cell now). -TP 15/100: I agree... Name: Cat Man 12 Date: 3:45 pm Sat May 02, 1987 The guy (Prophet) is really right on this one...I've never heard of such crazy shit as police radar picking up plants that are 2 feet apart! And he's going to grow the stuff thinking shit like this (?). The one thing to be careful of are pirhanas (people who at harvest time go looking for huge fields of pot). cat man 16/100: I dunno. Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 1:15 am Sun May 03, 1987 I dont really know how it would be possible, but theres still that chance. Still no answers on my last question??? Whats the best way to grow it?

Name: The Disk Jockey 13 Date: 2:15 am Sun May 03, 1987 "High Times" magazine, the best information for any home grower, they have monthly sections on indoor and outdoor gardens, for anyone from the first time grower, to the expert, plus the ads can help you find the necessary stuff. -The Disk Jockey 18/100: do-it-yourself Name: The Prophet 23 Date: 3:03 am Sun May 03, 1987 You don't have to use fertilizer, but the pot will be weak if it's undernourished. Another thing to remember is not to({use too much fertilizer. Actually, marijuana is a pretty tough plant, and doesn't really require a great deal of care. Just water them daily, and plant them somewhere where they can get plenty of sunlight. -TP 19/100: Nameo Changeo Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 4:06 pm Sun May 03, 1987 This is bullshit, what is going on here!? Next thing you know we will have a subboard called "Better Drugs And Gardens." First of all this police drug radar is the most amazing piece of trash gossip I have ever heard. Police would have better things to do than go through back yards with plant radar. I mean any two objects within 2 feet of each other set it off... yeah right. What about patio furniture, what about a backyard grill and gas tank? What about shrubs or trees? Whoever came up with this one must have been ON DRUGS himself at the time. :Knight Lightning 20/100: I wouldn't put it past them. Name: Thomas Covenant 84 Date: 8:13 pm Sun May 03, 1987 Although it does sound 99.99% wrong, that's just the sort of thing the cops would come up with to act as a deterrent against life. EEEGg. Two notes of addt'l interest: -:1- In Virgina Beach, home of the 700 club, it is illegal to imbibe alcohol outdoors. So, if someone was having a beer in his fenced in yard, someone else could call the cops and say "There's a man drinking beer in his backyard. Please hurry!" and the cops could come and cart him away. -:2- The latest issue of OMNI has a very fascinating article about the US. Military and how they are linked with US communications services (or would like to be). Needless to say, you should read it. -:3- OK, so I forgot one (or I can't count. You be the judge). The latest issue of RIP is the Rock Censorship Issue, and has even MORE fascinating articles on the PMRC, the Back In Control punk/metal deprogramming center, and much much more. Again, you should read it. Everytime I read something like this, I go out to the fields and have a dandelion break. I can't believe stuff like this can happen in America. 21/100: excuse me Name: Lucifer 666 43 Date: 11:42 pm Sun May 03, 1987 but my mother was having some trouble growing her geraniums....now if I don't use fertilizer will they die... I hear that the forest preserve can tell huge fields of geraniums if the plants are less than 2 feet apart... usually we plant petunias...but the "sailfish" get them... These are the people that rip out huge fields of petunias around blooming time. L666 22/100: Censorship Name: Phantom Phreaker 46 Date: 12:58 am Mon May 04, 1987 Ok, Thomas Cov, that message you left about Vigriania Beach in Va looked like it came from thrasher magainze, as skateboard magazine that I read often. They had an article abou a ramp in VA beach called Mt. Trashmore. Are there any skaters on here? I know Quest says he skates... Phantom Oh yeah I also have that new issue or rip, actually it's DP's but I read it today about the cencorship. Oh, another thing, I read that MCA of he Beastie Boyz died from an OD. I don't know if it's true or a rurmor.... Phantom (oh god, I just read this post and I have to use the almighty cop-out, ' I am fucked up' which is true rnight now) 23/100: Dope and The Single Woman... Name: The Mad Hacker 47 Date: 1:27 am Mon May 04, 1987 Well, I find it very hard to believe that someone could detect such plants growing so closely together. Secondly, for the outdoor Dope Grower, Simply, bury some seeds and forget them for a few months. If You plan on indoor growing, You have to understand that Dope is a Weed, so that they don't really need sunlight, and would grow in virtually any environment. If you want an indoor garden, spend a few bucks and get a hydrpod setup(Articles in High-Times) and buy a "Grow and Show" light. I have heard that if you crush up Quaaludes and use them as fertalizer, you will come out with some heavy dope. Just remember that germination is a BIG key in getting something decent. Yes, I have grown some in my basement, it wasn't THAT good, but the price was right..... The Mad Hacker 24/100: Dope Name: Icarus 15 Date: 2:34 am Mon May 04, 1987 Cannabis (sp?) is a weed and can grow anywhere. However for the best potency, good sunlight, water, and fertilizer is needed. Soaking the seeds for a few days in drenched paper is good before planting, just to get the sprouts going. I don't know about that plant detection nonsense, but I do know that you can get capital punishment for selling pot in school. (Thanks Nancy, you dragon-witch) The other day, I read on the back of a coffee can, "Say no to drugs." What hypocrosy, no? Caffeine is a much more abused drug and more addictive (according to many sources), than a pure 100% natural bowl of grade-a herb. Everything is a drug in America:Nicotene, caffeine, money, power, etc.. (uh oh, getting metaphorical here) I must stop rambling and get some sleep. it is 3:32am and I have one of the few last days of fucking around in senior year to wake up for tomorrow. Ic 25/100: Hmmm.... Name: Slave Driver 58 Date: 9:43 am Mon May 04, 1987 Considering police radar detects the speed of moving objects, the same technique is used for alarm systems, it doesnt care about the speed though, just if something is moving, thats why radar detectors often go off around stores, I dont know how it would detect plants two feet apart. What do they set the PSD plant spacing detector to 2 feet? Or do the plants run around when noone is looking? Does a tree that falls in a forest with noone to hear it or record it mae any noise? Why can you see? How does a can opener work? What good is school? Does Ron fuck the dragon-lady? These are all questions of the mind.... doodoo--doodoo-doodoo-doodoo twilight zone music^^^ Steve but why? Driver 26/100: Say what? Name: Cap'N Crax 10 Date: 3:19 am Tue May 05, 1987 Did someone say capital punishment for selling pot in school? Jeezus! Anyway, police can detect pot, but not with radar. They can detect it (even at night), actually, especially at night, by it's infrared heat signature. They have some sort of device like that... I don't quite remember where this info came from, but it was in print, and i assume it to be reliable, as it is quite possible, and makes more sense than plant radar. Haha...

Usually what they did where I was living was just cruise over the mountians/wooded areas, and If youveever seen a pot plant, usually the color gives them away.. I have 12 plants in my closet, each about 1' 1/2" tall, which I have had 1 1/2 months... Use miracle gro fertilizer. this is best, because it wont burn the plants, as you cannot use too much.. also, you definetly dont want to get males and females mixed up. the females will have a short growth at the bottom of the stem as they mature, which, when broken off will grow right back where it was. I have heard of people grafting hops onto plants, and this served an excellent disguise, but where can ya get hops?? p.s. call this new bbs if ya get a chance..hack/phreak/special interest/g-files, and more.. 305-480-9971 initial login pw= CSC Leftist 33/100: Quotes....

Caffeien, Nicotine, and many other drugs are harmful to people, yet legal and making money for businesses/government. A local pastor is going after 'porn' menace in the fashion of Edwin Meese, our Wedtech, corporate and close minded Attorney General. Why have such small, harmless things become a scapegoat bby the fucking religious fanatics and power hungry hipocrites as the problem of society? Why don't they direct their time and attention to something more worthhile? Why not go after racism, sexism, and prejudices of all types? Bad education systems? Murder, violence, War? NO, we are christians (paycheck code word), and everything we do is Ok with a creation of our society, but hen it is time to kill for our country, well, we can become a christian again after we have killed for a deceptionist government. Meese is going to be in St. Louis tomorrow talking on abortion. 20 dollars for their fucking dinner, maybe they'll be eating government experiments tht flopped in nuclear and chemical warfare projects. Abortion should be a choice..I agree that it is bad, but the alternatives can be worse. If you take away the people's choice then what do you have? Guess what I'm a communist now because I am a member of the Freeze/Sane movement, ha. Oh well I'm rambling and bitching. 'The drugs we're fed to make us like it are God (TM) and Country with a bang.

Do you wear jams and surfer clothes, or are you a generally 'normal' looking skater? Around here the skaters are mostly dicks they think they are cool because they can do a 1 inch ollie, and a lot of them brag and lie about their ability. I'm concerned for our countries future. Right-wingers and conservatives are fucking up everything, I'm so sick of hearing about their bullshit, cencorship, and the like. Some right winger said something along the lines of 'When a student picks up a math book, he reads that there are no absolutes. The next thing you know, he turns to crime and drugs.' Now, that takes the cake for being the most foolish, scatterbrained, lame attempt to support your views. But, they have the money, funded by Falwell and Robertson, who dupe consumers into sending them money so they will 'go to heaven' and have 'the lord's blessing'. 'Most people are assholes' (name of a tour by some punk band, can't remember the name.) Oh yesterday I picked up a math book and read that x=0. Well, since x=0, then crime is cool, and so is drugs. (This supports my earlier paragraph) Phantom PS-Oh yeah, to stretch this thing out even more (this post), I'll just say that the Suicidal Tendencies concert in St. Louis a few weeks ago was pretty cool.

Anyway, we were watching a film in psycology last week where the question of who has the most primary responsibilty to be careful about birth control, the guy or the girl. One guy said the girl because after all if she doesn't, she is the one getting pregnant. A girl then said that he was an asshole for saying that. What do you think? :Knight Lightning 39/100: Le Dope...(Male And Female) Name: The Mad Hacker 47 Date: 11:51 pm Thu May 07, 1987 The only difference between Male and Female Plants is that Female PLants yield a great deal more seeds than the male ones(Makes sense). Dealers usually try to stay away from the female plants due to the "More Seeds, Less Pot" Philosophy. Potency should still be the same, though.

Give me a fucking break Ronnie! This country is run by assholes for assholes because we are falling for this shit. Nancy thinks she's a fucking "vigilante" combatting her war on drugs. Fuck her and her stupid senile old jackass husband. Think about it....This country raped our environment for bucks for a few mogul's pockets. Ron is a puppet for these war-mongering quadrillionaires who are the true rulers of our country. No other president would EVER have gotten away with what Ronnie did.

The buds of the female plant are much stronger than those of the male plant. By the way, who uploaded the file, "drug800s.txt", what the hell are those pills being sold (never heard of D&E's before...), and what's the address to order them? Anyone who wants to know where the country's heading in the future need do nothing more than look at the heart of the Southern Baptist Bible Belt, North Carolina. The new obscenity law states that "mature adults have no right to possess obscene material". X-rated movies are now illegal here, and possession of an obscene magazine, even if you only read it in the privacy of your own home and are over 21, is punishable by a heavy jail sentence and fine. -TP 43/100: D&E.... Name: The Disk Jockey 13 Date: 6:46 am Fri May 08, 1987 D&E is based in New Jersey, and their ad can be found in any High Times.... I have 2 bottles of stimulants that I got from them, and their yours if you want them....one is a bottle of "20-20's" and the others are "357's", I used to use them when I'd play tennis to keep a steady, strong game. Now they just make my stomach hurt like hell. You can get them on your (or someone's) V/MC, and they are like $6/100. -The Disk Jockey 44/100: Better Drugs & Gardens Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 7:51 am Fri May 08, 1987 Er yeah this is our new subboard check out 6. It seemed like a popular topic with you guys. :Knight Lightning 45/100: well... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 6:22 pm Fri May 08, 1987 Oh what fun! Rag on Reagun, Call him names, Say they suck, bitch alot... Oh wow how keen... Can YOU guess whats coming next? 'CUT THE CRAP' AND *DO* SOMETHING! My god, I just love to see all these phreaks post about how terrible the right wing is and how they should all go to hell and they sound real tough but 'Lets take a look at the record'. Remember the Falwell Game? And then the Pat Robertson game? It was where you dialed Fallwell or Pat's 800 and then hung up after a couple seconds, making them have to pay a $1 or so. Phreaks were the perfect people to do it, programs + knowledge, but NOOOOOO, a few did it for a couple of days but they, hell YOU, were tooo fucking lazy to actually do shit. It was people who had to hand dial all the time who did 90% of it. What politial commitment. Oh yeah, when Libya was bombed the outrage on phreak boards was just tremendous, why I think I saw 1 post against it. Its not until they start doing something that directly affects you (drugs, etc) that you get off your ass. Between computers and phones, yes phreaks could be somewhat of a force, but there not. sfd 46/100: Are you ever happy? Name: Phantom Phreaker 46 Date: 2:13 am Sat May 09, 1987 I don't understand why you never say anything good, Drake.. I mean, at least the users here are somewhat (even if just a little) conscious of what is going on...you can't expect everyone to be totally involved in government, I mean if they do THAT, then they will probably start thinking like a politician, and we don't need any more of that. Oh, also Drake, do you ever do anything constructive, like you said in your post? I'm not trying to argue (I hope you see that) but would like to hear what action you take on some of the issues of our society (our society, our society, what a drag -Subhumans) Phantom 47/100: well... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 6:10 pm Sat May 09, 1987 What? Oh my god! Is it true?! Yes, after many many posts of bitching and whining on this board I actually got a RESPONSE! GASP! Why I feel positivly unignored... OK, now a response from me would be the normal thing to do now and Im a normal sorta guy so... What do I do 'constructive'? I call up my congressman, I write my congressman/representatives. Your normal stuff. Then, I go to demonstrations, try to contribute to alternative newspapers, draw/write/paint/scriblle thousands of anarchy symbols around the bay area to 'spread the word'. I try to keep in contact with other radical organisations to contribute my time etc. Example I have done volunteer work for a small communist political party. I could go on, but certainly not for long enough. I am not exempt from my own criticism in that I am as lazy as the next guy. But I *TRY* harder. hee. sfd 48/100: Missing the question Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 9:39 am Sun May 10, 1987 But Drake, have you actually called up your congressman or rep or written them or been to demostrations? Now whats this about supporting communist political parties? :Knight Lightning 49/100: Dont ever... Name: Slave Driver 58 Date: 1:54 pm Sun May 10, 1987 Expect to get a job with the government, now that you have said that... Sd 50/100: Hmm.. Name: Doom Prophet 21 I must admit, I have never written my congressman. I have talked to the police and authorities about certain laws and policies, and I have pledged some support and volunteered to help a political anti-war movement here in St. Louis. I try to make people aware of what the government is doing.. I read quite a bit on things like that (In mainstream papers and underground alternatives like Socialist Labor Party newsletter,SANE mag, The St. Louis Arms Freeze forecast letter, People for the American Way, etc.). However I can't say that I am really active in politics though.. Oh, I also sent some cards in to Reagan opposing censorship movements, with some signatures from my school. Wee, big deal right? Later. Doom 51/100: WELL... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 11:58 pm Sun May 10, 1987 ACTUALLY I WASN'T PLANNING ON GETTING A JOB WITH THE GOVERMENT... And KL, that (calling congressman, etc) was a list of what I have done...what did you think it was? Your confuuuusing me...whine Yeah being aware is definetly important ('The revoluion begins within' and all that)... try to read a equal amount of right wing & left wing periodicals so that I dont get locked into one viewpoint on an issue. But being nformed and not doing anything is no better then being totaly apathetic. sfd 52/100: Phrack Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 6:44 pm Mon May 11, 1987 We could unite the entire phreak community through Phrack as aq huge political party. Unfortunately, the majority of the phreak/hack world can't even vote, and currently that includes myself. Also, we would never have enough support in any one are to win any form of election but a lobbyist organization seems feasible. But you all know as well as I do that this will NEVER happen. So, anyway in general with the Class of '87 graduating in less than a month, who feels the phreak hack world is going to suffer greatly? :Knight Lightning 53/100: Politics Name: Doom Prophet 21 Date: 4:57 pm Tue May 12, 1987 Well, who knows. I'm sure there will always be good phreaks around. I will be doing less of course (Graduation, College, Work, etc) but that's no big loss. About political classifications, I liked the Nolan chart much better than traditional Left-Right wing grouping. Most people take left to mean communist and opposed to personal freedom. Some of the more famous left wing (radicals) are the Black Panthers from the late sixties, and others that I won't mention. Right wing conservative policies generally seem to be more realistic (but of course because they side with the current system and don't support radical change as left wing does). I think we do need change to prevent America from becoming a cesspool of violence, money, racism, and exploitation of both people and the environment (it's like that now though depending upon your viewpoint). It's a difficult question, because the root of the system is people-people with stubborn entrenched attitudes. How are we going to change the entire system if we can't change ourselves and others around us? Impose a law? That would be fascist. In my opinion, freedom of expression and action should be allowed so long as it's not causing harm or violence toward the innocent (or the not so innocent). The Libertarian party summed it up quite well..but a political party doesn't make a perfect system. To change the topic slightly, what do you feel about our actions (fraud, breaking and entering, etc) as far as morality (flexible and sometimes useless term) and justice? (That sounds corny but I don't know how else to word it). Doom 54/100: We The People Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 8:15 pm Tue May 12, 1987 Yeah well, what I was trying to say is that with college in the fall and the quite often occurence of 950 blocking from college campuses, a new area to have to scan for Telenet dialups or whatever and in general, I fell that as a whole, the phreak community will suffer greatly. Lets face it, there will continue to be a phreak community, but as I see it, today's phreaks, specifically those on this system or Catch have reached the highest plateau in the area of knowledge ever in the history of our community. This is not to say that it will never be surpassed, but somehow with more and more security involving itself in our affairs and the decline of interest I feel that this is the golden age and it will start to fall back until a new era begins many years from now. The community will continue to exist no matter what, even if for no better reason than the rodent wares kids or the habitual code abusers. As far as morality, I don't feel too concerned about it although I do believe it to be wrong. I try not to think about it too much. However, when the government or Reagan can make deals with terrorist and lose millions of dollars or throw it away, I don't feel to guilty about making illegal calls. Its all in how you rationalize it. :Knight Lightning 55/100: KL.... Name: The Disk Jockey 13 Date: 6:42 am Wed May 13, 1987 Gee....isn't speeding illigal too? Like you said, it's all relative, but can you remember making your first code call? It's like you hang up, and your waiting for the phone to ring with someone saying "Your busted......" I guess its all a form of de-sensitizing, after a while, you really ignore or don't realize the extent of the illigal-ness of the activity that you are doing. KL-I'm still working on that "Laws of preaking....." stuff that we talked about, while reading over old notes, etc, it can make you realize what you are "up against" if you are caught. Basically, your screwed if an adult. For the most part you are seeing about 30 days jail time, full restitution, and assorted court costs. Not a good time. I was wasted a few nights ago and debated calling up a LD company and telling them that I had hacked EVERY code they had, and would sell them the code file for $1000, else turn the file public. Wonder what they would do? I sure wouldn't want to be the one at the bank cashing the check, extorsion (sp?) is pretty big time stuff.... -The Disk Jockey 56/100: General Nonsense. Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 8:29 am Wed May 13, 1987 Face it folks. Were heading down the long road to communism. Our leaders are pretty much all corrupt. I think our country stinks. And I think in a few years the "kiddies" will feel the same. Face it, we talk about anti-drug bullshit, and all this anti-that and anti-this, but our leaders are setting a great example to the future leaders of our country, arent they? This country is headed anywhere but uphill, and I hope I die before it all falls to peices. Im old enough to vote, but chose not to and never will. I dont care about politics even though I should. Id rather not take a small part in the downfall of the good ole US of A. I dont follow politics, and I dont watch ..(sorry, double cr) the news. Why? Because its all BAD thats why. Anyway, I hope to enjoy my life to the fullest without worrying about stupid shit, like Reagan and his scams. One thing that does piss me off is this big drug war. Its alot of nonsense if you ask me. The people that end up fucking up there lives are the people who have no sense and get burnt on heavy drugs (Coke, LSD...etc) and they end up either dead, dying, fucked up or trying to rebuild there lives. Needless to say, they forgot about having a good time. They got addicted. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Cmon folks, wake up...whats life about? Having a good time and living the fullest and richest (I sound like an ad for Folgers) life you possibly can Killing yourself isnt the answer. I know, Im rambling on. Oh well. About this phreak war thing, we all know its bullshit. Ifthe phreaks did unite (something pretty much impossible - will never happen), who do you think would win? The government or the phreaks? Even if we didnt get caught, we would still lose. The puppet-masters have our senile president right where they want him, and no matter who does what, they can keep them there for as long as they wish. (At least til the end of his term, anyway). Its a suicide mission. It cant be won. No one will ever be powerful enough to take on our government. No one but non-americans would aid him, and theres too many people afraid of the "bomb" for that too happen. So all we could do is piss them off, thus giving them an even better reason to exterminate us all. Anyway, thats about all I have to say on the matter(s). Sure Im for the American Way. Its the people who are trying to fuck it up for all of us that I dont like... -J 57/100: WELL... Name: <<< Sir Francis Drake 56 >>> Date: 4:22 pm Wed May 13, 1987 lets see... a) Yeah KL, after this year there will be a 'drop' in the phreak scene as lots of people go off to college but after awhile new phreaks will come to replace them. This certainly isnt 'The Golden Age of phreaking'. Wait until the who country is tied into a network, when EVERYTHING is on computers, and the phone system connects the whole world in a standardised way. THAT will be the 'golden age'. b) EJ, the people who 'are trying to fuck it up' are the people who are too fucking lazy to get involved.... sfd 58/100: Golden Age Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 5:34 pm Wed May 13, 1987 Actually Sfd, this is the Golden Age, becuae by the time the whole world is networked like you said, there will be so much security and tracing will be a standard feature and we will be even more stuck than ever before. EJ, you can't solve a problem by ignoring it. Not voting is stupid unless you don't know how to vote. That is you don't know which side is more worthy (if any) of your vote. Phreaks as a force? Make a great movie, but it'll never ever happen. :Knight Lightning 59/100: KL...... Name: The Disk Jockey 13 Date: 7:59 pm Wed May 13, 1987 ...and any other St. Louis locals, why don't you invite some (actually lots) or chicks to come to the party part of this convention? EVERYBODY likes hotel parties, I've had a few in Kansas City at the Embassy Suits that were secondto (to) none! Besides, not all of us are gonna get off on B-Way..... I want to get something out of this trip besides hung over..... I'll show them (the girls) my Cosmos manuals and impress them! Ya, right..... 60/100: Well Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 10:45 pm Wed May 13, 1987 Things would definately get out of hand if we did that. I mean the word would spread and then the whole idea of having a phreak con would be gone. Plus we would definately end up being thrown out. Still, anyone else have any input on this? :Knight Lightning 61/100: getting back to... Name: Lex Luthor 36 Date: 10:02 am Fri May 15, 1987 Getting back to that "golden age" deal, well I am sure there will be a time when more and more things will be networked, but saying they will have all this security and tracing shit is ridiculous. There will always be bugs and holes to be exploited, and security always comes last for everything. The only people who think security should come first are the ones whose job is security. Making products, consulting, etc. Everyone else puts security low on the list. It will probably remain that way indefinitely. Look at the show Max Headroom. I think it is one of the best shows on TV. A lot of people don't like it. They don't understand it. Sure some things are a bit ridiculous like the old-style typewriter keys used for computer keyboards, but basically the show is quite interesting. It appears that just about everything in existance is networked in some way to some central processor. Every building, and everything within those buildings are networked. Ang gaining access to the network, allows you to gain access to just about anything, assuming you can defeat any security involved. I like the show mainly due to the security and insecurity involved. They are constantly breaking the security on everything. The show probably is based on some variation of the future, and it does show that no matter how sophisticated things get, there always will be ways around it. Having the ability to defeat these controls, allows you to have control over your own destiny as far as concepts of 'big brother' are concerned. If the government turned into the big brother depicted in 1984, I am sure those "good enough" would not be as affected. They would simply find ways to get around controls and modify or neutralize anything that was threating to them. Since everyone has been rambling, I thought I would ramble some too. 62/100: SFD's Comments Name: Lotus 38 Date: 1:40 pm Fri May 15, 1987 I also have to disagree with your first comment. Just because everyone is going to college does not mean we will loose that many people. When I left about 2 years ago, I still tried to call here as much as I could. Taran (or Knight) did bring up a good point about college systems getting smarter but if you go to a college that is good enough to have phones in each of the dorms (or if you live in an apartment) then most of the time you don't have a thing to worry about. 63/100: well... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 11:16 pm Fri May 15, 1987 Actually, the idea of losing people due to college was KL's postulate... and I basicaly agree with it. Sure some people will keep being involved but most wont have the time, equipment, and the fact that they will no longer be treated as a minor by the law will act as a detriment. (no that sentence wasnt constructed right...) Yow Lex...Cyberpunk for ever...Speaking of which (this belongs on the phrack sub but Ill forget so...) would anybody be interested (besides me) if I somehow managed to interview William Gibson, author of Neuromancer & Count Zero, about what he thought the future of "computer crime" was? Make it into a file & put in in phrack. Well *I* think it would be cool. sfd 64/100: Dial 0 for harassment Name: Taran King 1 Date: 12:50 am Sat May 16, 1987 Ok, me and Bill are here right now on my 3-way with the 0perator. We had her connect us to 314-070-1000. Bill said that he was priveledged and that he had to speak to his brother in the post office. When we thought the 0perator had left the line, Bill proceded to simulate an 800 DA ring with his lips. When the operator came on, he asked for the first company with Banana in its name and we were given Banana Educational Software and cracked up. We were hooked up to a recording. After the recording said 800-328, the operator came on and said she was reporting this line. She said she has had previous accounts... The operator then paused and said, "Yes, yes I'd like a trace. The number is 314-432-0756, good you traced it." She then proceeded to access another loop and keep us on hold for several minutes. Oh, forgot a part. After she finally consented to connect the number, Bill said that she could go, and she says, "No, I want to hear this!" and then she became silent until she started being rude and decided that she was working for the FBI and set up a trace. ANYWAY, after being put on hold for a few minutes, she came back and we requested the supervisor and she wouldn't give her to us. We eventually got dropped. We couldn't even file a complaint because we didn't have her fargin' name. I say we kill her. I say we hang her, then we kill her. I say we tattoo her, then we scorch her, then we hang her, and THEN we kill her. I say you give her to me! -TK 65/100: The Modem World Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 9:44 am Sat May 16, 1987 Yes that is correct, as many of us get older, the laws surrounding us are due to change will will affect our outlook as to just how important the phreak/hack community really is to us. Some of the people that feel threatened may start paying for calls rather than phreak, but this then gets expensive. Furthermore, in college, there is most liklely little time for this. Now Lex may disagree becuase his exsperience may be a bit differenet, but he also takes anout a month or more off between calls here. In reference to Cheap Shades, he ran Metal Shop AE here in StL. Then off to college, he brought the computer and put up QuickShop. However, he had little time to use it and the necesssity to use his only voice line (the bbs line) came up more and more often. Eventually he just took it down and he doesn't call anywhere. I said that the class of 87 going to college would harm the phreak world, not destroy it and I still hold that opinion. :Knight Lightning 66/100: HBO Name: Lotus 38 Date: 11:04 pm Sat May 16, 1987 Did anyone happen to catch the HBO special about the Chicago trial? Geez, if that thing doesn't get you mad about cops and the political system in so me was (ie the system) I don't know what would. The interesting thing is that Hoffman is still out there fighting the causes. Does he still live in NY or what? 67/100: Abbie Name: Thomas Covenant 84 Date: 6:03 am Sun May 17, 1987 There was an article on him in PEOPLE a couple years back (5-7 years, maybe?) that told what he was doing currently. I have no idea on the situation today. I love selective memory! I can remember dumb things like that, but can't remember where I left my tie -- and I have to leave for work in 2 minutes! ARGH! 68/100: WELL... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 6:22 pm Mon May 18, 1987 Geez, Abbie has been in the news alot recently. He was arrested along with Amy Carter for trespassing on CIA property. When they went to court there defense was that they were breaking a law in order to stop a larger crime (which means it is legal, example a person runnin a red light to chase a bank robber or some such)...AND THEY WON! So basicaly the federal court admited that the CIA is breaking laws...A pity they dont fucking do something about it. But yeah, he's a great guy. sfd 69/100: Back to voting. Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 2:40 am Tue May 19, 1987 I hear, Im stupid for not voting, Im fucking up the world by not participating. I wonder if any of you voted for Raygun, eh? -J 70/100: Summercon. Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 5:54 am Tue May 19, 1987 Read my latest attempt at humor (if you can stomach it) on drive H. File is called ADVENTUR.TXT. Its actually called, Tales of Misadventure - Summercon. And while Im probably not a seer you will see my prediction of the adventures I'll have at Summercon. Lets hope not of it ever comes to pass. -J 71/100: Hoffman Name: Doom Prophet 21 Date: 6:52 pm Tue May 19, 1987 I think that Hoffman was charged with 'Disturbing a school' and disorderly conduct. Amy Carter supposedly sat down in front of a vehicle (a bus or an oinkmobile). It was on a universityy campus, not CIA property (unless they made that up recently). I followed it in the papers also, it was interesting to see something like that happen. The CIA have not stopped with Nicaragua, but now we have dragged Honduras, Mexico, Isreal, and other countries in our feud with the Sandinistas, along with CIA/DEA dealings involving drug smuggling to fund the Contras. While we're on this topic, I just read an article in Reader's Digest that basically called the nuke freeze movement communist and corruptive. He had some good points however, which only goes to show that both the U.S. and Russia are at fault in certain situations. The test ban breaking by Ronn ie was shitty though. All the true important details are underplayed anyway. Good day Doomy 72/100: Part II Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 10:39 pm Tue May 19, 1987 Will be up by the time you read this. If your are dreading Summercon this is what you can (not) look forward too. hehehe... -J 73/100: Part III Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 6:48 am Wed May 20, 1987 Well, (yet another msg) Part III is finished and up. The Summercon Saga is over. Im sure you'll be sickened and appalled, but that was the whole purpose wasnt it? How about "Summercon 2001"? -J 74/100: What the fuck.... Name: The Disk Jockey 13 Date: 7:16 am Wed May 20, 1987 ....is the deal now? Goddamn Iraq "accidentlly" shoots a missle from a russian-made aircraft to an oil ship, owing the hull all to hell, their president says "It was a gastly accident" and when this ship was trying to call the US to ask permission to return fire, Congress was recessed, and Reagan was getting on a plane to go to Tennessee to talk to some fucking high school for thier commencment. 37 fucking people are dead at last count, and the only thing that Ron has to say is "We are going to have a complete investigation...." Right! The US is really beginning to look like saps to these fucking shit-head countries, and Ron's other comment was "Any action simular to that in the future will be delt with severly." What an asshole. -A pissed off Disk Jockey 75/100: Wimper.. Name: Ax Murderer 7 Date: 5:41 pm Wed May 20, 1987 Yeah, while he's getting stiff talking to a group of high schooler's, men are dying. SUUUURE! It was an accident. Just like it was an accident when he bombed Libya...Sure. I think we should have at least fired back. Reagan always seems to wimp out on some. He is better than any other we've had, but please! Ax Murderer 76/100: well... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 6:22 pm Wed May 20, 1987 Aurgh, just when I was begining to think that MSP users were not Reagan lobotomized zombies the old "Dont let those little countries push us around, we should nuke 'em into oblivion" comes back. Yucky. First of all DJ, I heard the plane that shot the french missle at our ship was either a) french or b) american (phantom)...So lets not do a "god damned russians are behind everything" Maby it was sorta silly having the ship being there in the first place ya know? (Yeah doomy, it was on Amy Carters school campus but it was the CIA recruiting center on it where the demonstration took place) sfd 77/100: well Name: Lex Luthor 36 Date: 5:20 pm Thu May 21, 1987 No matter what America does, we would/will be criticsized. If we retaliated about the iraq incident we would be bullies again. If we didn't (we didn't as you know) then we will be too soft. Its a no win situation. When we bombed libya we were bullies. But if we didn't we would be wimps. Its bullshit. Damned if we do and Damned if we don't. 78/100: Bombing Name: The Sensei 18 Date: 6:21 pm Thu May 21, 1987 The Iraq accident may be real. The ship didn't have any defences ready. Now they tell us it was 2 assault missiles. There is not much Reagan can do. He can't punish them, they get nothin g major from us. Reagan made a good decision on the Libyan deal, he's don e his job. How many terrorist have screwed with Americans lately? Not many. Ts 79/100: Whoa! Name: Cheap Shades 3 Date: 1:38 am Fri May 22, 1987 First of all accidental or not, it shouldn't have happened. Secondly the captain of the ship did have permision to fight back. It was under attack. The captain just didn't switch from automatic to manual soon enough to shoot anything. Thirdly, the plane was American made and the missle was French (like SFD said), they have that shit because we support Iraq's side in this Iraq vs Iran war. We could easily punish Iraq for what they did but then we'd lose our initial investment in their struggle. Later Shades' $0.02 80/100: DIS Name: Doom Prophet 21 Date: 6:35 am Fri May 22, 1987 Hmm..on Libya, the press releases from the White House were lies. Khadafy didn't threaten us with further terrorism, the U.S. used his country for a scapegoat for the American people. However, the disinformation was vastly underplayed in the very same news we were brainwashed with. A lot of papers and news media is owned by large corporations. Do you want the businesses that caused an invasion of Cuba in this century to put thoughts into your head? So the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 79. But of equal tyranny was thte U.S. foreign policy toward Cuba (since our business is threatened by Castro we will make war and the excuse will bbe we were fighting communism) earlier on. So both of the superpowers suck. Now we have to support another war. How long will it be before we are having Blood and Guts rambozos like Ollie North running around in a mess of secret things 'to protect our national interest'. America wants oil, to get it, it needs puppets So what's 10 million dead if we're keeping out the Russians? -Dk Doomy 81/100: Steal This Book Name: Icarus 15 Date: 8:48 am Fri May 22, 1987 Hoffman's book seems very interesting. Does ANYONE know where I can get a copy of it? Who published it? Icarus 82/100: Switching Name: The Sensei 18 Date: 7:15 am Sun May 24, 1987 I believe it was from Manual to Automatic.

He got his computer back then the drive went... -Hatter 87/100: Oh neat Name: The Executioner 19 Date: 6:05 pm Wed May 27, 1987 Well, that's seems really sad, HPO had I think the longest duration without ever being down...hmm...oh well...it twas a nice system, no? U2 in concert was aweomse.... And front row to the Psychedelic Furs was the best... Genesis on Saturday and Billy Idol on Tuesday...can't wait Exy 88/100: General stuff.. Name: Kerrang Khan 34 Date: 2:00 am Thu May 28, 1987 i just found out how to beat a videogame called Galaga the other day. If you leave the bottom left bee-like creature alone on the first 'stage' and let it swoop by for about 10 minutes, eventually it will stop shooti ng at you. at that point you can kill it, and for the rest of the game, nothi ng will shoot at you. kind of interesting. i've found alot of odd 'bugs' in video-games over the years (tempest, defender etc).. although i don't spend too much time playing them, i like hearing about these things. anyone give a hoot, or shall we go back to discussing CAMA tapes (by far the more important to me, ahem).. or is it AMA tapes... who cares. k ps: anyone still prefer a decent pinball game to video games these days? 89/100: A neat game Name: The Executioner 19 Date: 10:12 am Thu May 28, 1987 A neat video game I saw was called "Contra", really fast and furious, also a game called Rolling Thunder was interesting. The Joust Pinball game is pretty fast, but I still prefer the video game if and when i drop by an arcade. Exy 90/100: Tempest.... Name: The Disk Jockey 13 Date: 11:00 am Thu May 28, 1987 What can you do with Tempest? I have the actual game at home, about the only thing that I have ever found is that on some settings you can press the player one button and you can jump to the next level.... -The Disk Jockey 91/100: Games Name: Lex Luthor 36 Date: 1:56 pm Thu May 28, 1987 I prefer pinball since most videogames are too slow for me. Pinball can be quick and keeps me interested. High-Speed is one of the better games. Most people know that on Defender after you reach 990,000 every thing you hit gies you a free guy up until 1 million when it "rolls over" to 0 again. You don't receive new guys again until the last of your men are used up. It is recommened to not use that many smart bombs during this time and let the guys die. If you can get to a million then you should never have to worry about not being able to get free men. Personally I think defender is one of the best games of all time, since it has all the action I need. Asteroids Deluxe, the hard one is a good game, just you can't find it anymore. 92/100: Gauntlet Name: Slave Driver 58 Date: 9:10 am Fri May 29, 1987 and Gauntlet II are two very good games if you have 4 people that know how to play the thing. Galaga is a very good game, but my personal favorite is Qix, yes, I know thats sad, but hey... On that Stark thing, the reason they didnt have that defense system on auto is as follows. First of all it uses extremely hig density lugs weighing 30 lbs and shoots 3,000 a minute. It uses radar to track the thing in and just blasts the shit out of it. The problem is, anything of any decent size with radar would get the shit blown out of it, its not selective. I dont think it would be too nice to be coming in in a little helicopter (sp?) and have this thing shoot 3000 rounds a min at you. Something like that could ruin your day... The Exocet the missle that hit them| travels several hunderd miles an hour at a distance of 8 feet from the water. Neithers the AWACS nor the ship detected the launch on radar, although the ship detected Radar Lock always a sign of agression. They did not know the thing was coming till they spotted it visually. By the time word got to the Information Center, they had 7 seconds to respond... oh well... Slave Driver Sorry, U2's music was good, but the concert wasnt that great. But I guess you had to go to a lot of previous concerts to know that... 93/100: Video's Name: The Mad Hacker 47 Date: 6:55 pm Sat May 30, 1987 My Favorite Video Game has to be Robotron. Weird game. When I first played it, I spent all kindsa Quarters without too much luck. Last time I played it I Let the game go at 9 Million Something. Only thing is you have to have an afternoon to play..... The Mad Hacker 94/100: Games Name: Icarus 15 Date: 3:19 am Sun May 31, 1987 The best pinball game is Pinbot. Before that; High Speed. Does anyone remember Zookeeper? That was a great videogame, except it can't be found anywhere. Me 95/100: Jake Cutter Name: Control C 8 Date: 10:00 am Sun May 31, 1987 Is one of the best games. It's kinda slow, no sound, but it's a great game. Also The Heist is fun too. 96/100: well...

I got some friends and we just fuck around with it.. Paperboy is a little old, but still good.. 1 1/2 hours left of school(tomorrow)... W0W! -Hatter 98/100: tempest and things.. Name: Kerrang Khan 34 Date: 12:37 pm Mon Jun 01, 1987 the low down on tempest - first you have to play normally until you reach the red V shaped level. when you reach the one after that (a square-ish V) you can die or (read on) you have to get a score over 170,000 for this bug to work (the red V's bonus is something like 180k so its easier to just die and play a new game. in order to get 170k+ on one quarter requires you get up into the yellow levels which is kind of tough). anyway, once you have 170,000 plus point the key is to get the last two digits of your score to a specific number and then just die. you can jump your score by two points by shooting 'spikes' and by one point for finishing off a spike (you work it out). some interesting two digit numbers are 12, 17 - 40 free credits 05 - dumps you into playing the attract mode (more on this) 00 - freeze game in attract mode 01 - reset game (puts you into the maint. screen) 46 - changes level you can start at. 48 - lots and lots of 'ships' (mode on this too). you set up your score and die, then wait for the game to cycle through the attract mode, and then things will happen. 17 just starts adding credits and you can play normally, but you can have much more fun with 05. this just dumps you into the game tempest will be playing with itself. at this point, ALL the strange things you can trigger off will go on while you are playing. if you can hit 48 your ships will start multiplying, up to about 255 (guess), and if you can do this, you hit 01 and wait after which your game will 'normalize' and you can play all day to some outrageous high score. if you hit 00 though, the xDgame will freeze up on you. anyway thats a rough outline, and it only works on older versions. how did you get your own tempest machine DJ? k highspeed isnt a game, its a way of life. "Dispatch to 504.... he what?" 99/100: New Modz!@!! Name: Taran King 1 Date: 5:23 pm Mon Jun 01, 1987 Try out our new modz, compliments of Cheap Shades. The N:eed Acronyms is now a separate database-type function with search string and all so if you're baffled, you can search for the specific acronym without listing the whole damn thing. Use it well -TK 100/100: Farrari Name: The Sensei 18 Date: 6:05 pm Mon Jun 01, 1987 I usually play the Farrari game. I've only gotten up to around 67 grand. The game allows you to sit down and get a stereo sound with the whole machine moving with you. Such as a car would do. As for U2 concert....I'm still waiting for it to hit MN. Idol was great. So was the Cult. Ts Post on Metal/General Discussion? No ^*^ ==Phrack Inc.== Volume Two, Issue 20, File 6 of 12 Metal Shop Private's -- Phrack Inc./Gossip ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Phrack Inc./Gossip subboard included mostly conversation involving gossip in the phreak/hack world as well as the discussion of files for and the organization of the Phrack Inc. newsletter. 1/100: well... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 6:26 pm Wed Apr 29, 1987 Yet another version... PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN St. Louis - Well, the SummerCon has come and gone and nothing has changed. It started off well, with almost 80 people arriving. We knew something was wrong when people wouldn't put nametags on becuase they were embarresed. And then when they all drank large amounts of beer, it was realised "Hey! These phreaks arn't any differnt! There just typical teenagers who beli eve being drunk is fun 'cause the rest of the time they feel so shitty. No one was busted, the police just felt sorry for the weak attempt at Dyonisiun excess. Oh well, maby someday people will realise that false bravado and bragging of inebriation is simply stupid. "Hey, that wasn't even funny." sfd 2/100: Umm... Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 11:24 pm Wed Apr 29, 1987 Hey SFD, you need to title those articles remember? But seriously, SummerCon will undoubtably be a quite fun activity but lets face it, no one is going to learn much about phreaking or hacking that weekend, not with all the excitement of meeting new people and partying, which kinda relates that you'll forget everything anyway. PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN Phreak World Crippled; SummerCon Causes Despair June 22, 1987 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today the phreak world was astounded and dealt a horrifying blow as all the phreaks who attended summercon, left with their entire phreak knowledge literally erased from their minds due to an excess of drinking and other unknown mind altering substances. it is unknown as to if these effects are temporary or a lifetime destruction. PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN Anarchy World Takes Charge June 23, 1987 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MetaliBashers Inc, have become the new "LOD" of the modem worl since all of the LOD members no longer can even remember what LOD stands for (in fact no one can). With MBI taking charge, the new wave of the modem world has turned strictly anarchy although there are rumors of various pirating organizations beginning to unload new wares soon. PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN Investigators Lose Jobs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John Maxfield reportedly lost ALL contracts today when it was discovered that the phreak/hack community was completely destroyed thus no one needed protection from them. He has now taken a job with the local sanitation management firm to help figure out what to do with all the garbage now that the phreak community wasn't stealing 1/3 of it anymore. Hey this is getting fun huh? :Knight Lightning 3/100: I heard Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 11:56 pm Wed Apr 29, 1987 straight from the horses mouth that The Rebel and some other people from that crowd are going to show. I actually got to hear the entire Howie episode. According to Rebel, Howie was busted, went to court and when his mother found out what he was doing (again) she completely and foreverly (bros?) took away his phone privelidges. I dont know about that...but oh well. I also heard from quite a few people who have met Exy, Delta-Master and Bill from RNOC in person and the comments I receved were ...interesting. PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN Suicidal Nitemare - History ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suidical Nitemare met death head on when Evil Jay knocked on his door pretending to be a lineman checking on his line. Once inside, Jay prceeded to swing a hand set at Suicidal with amazing acurracy (sp). Once dragged outside, Jay then proceeded to tie Suicidal naked to a tree and call the ever-lovin' Broadway Hacker over to do his stuff. Jay was last heard pleading insanity. Suicidal Nitemare remains in intensive care, and Broadway Hacker is happy. -J 4/100: Michigan Name: Control C 8 Date: 2:10 pm Thu Apr 30, 1987 Doug, Bad Subscript. LoneWolf, and I are all planning on going. Maby we could work something out. I think Ax Murdere, and Sir William will be going too. Call me and we'll talk about it. Control 5/100: ROOMS Name: Lucifer 666 43 Date: 4:07 pm Thu Apr 30, 1987 If broadway decides the stay in the public rooms then I'm not in that one... also will it be like nametags? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | hello I am | | | TARAN KING- randy | __________________________ and so on.... also, I was wondering about the bust scene cause if I get busted in st louis, there is no way in fuck I could get bail money... liquor, drugs,... driving with craig etc... L666 6/100: Community rooms Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 7:02 pm Thu Apr 30, 1987 Broadway is being banned from using the community rooms. If he goes, he will have to get his own, and I heard that this is what he claimed he would do if he went. I really don't think there is going to be any busts as long as no one brings anything real illegal, like a blue box or is standing down at the pay fones with a page and a half of codes in front of a cop or something. 3 L6 What do you mean driving with me? :Knight Lightning 7/100: I do. Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 12:05 am Fri May 01, 1987 Because of the large amount of drinking and other crap, I'll bet my ass that more than 1 minor gets busted. I think we should all find some park or something. Actually, the better thing to do (which wont and probably cant be done now) is to rent some building for the night. Ive been to a few partys where they did that. No cops, outrageously loud music...it was great... wasnt cheap, but if everyone pitched in.... -J 8/100: Hotel Parties Name: Mad Hatter 51 Date: 6:57 am Fri May 01, 1987 i'm not very fond of them. I went to two of 'em and they both got busted. What are we(you) going to do if someone gets busted? I'm sure as hell that I don't want my parents getting a call from St. Louie PD saying, "Ahh, yes, Mr. xxxxxxx, you son was picked up at a hotel party for underage drinking. Can you please come pick him up?" Also, what about bail money? Jez, your screwed if you get picked up. -Hatter KL, since BH is NOT allowed in the public rooms,(and if I go with him) does that mean I can't stay there? Any other k-rad d00dzz coming? 9/100: Heh Name: Taran King 1 Date: 7:06 am Fri May 01, 1987 No, you can stay in the room with the rest of the people, Hatter. I haven't even heard about this banning Bway from the room, so maybe KL's making decisions for Forest Ranger, but I'm not getting involved in the personal schtuff. A LOT of people are getting their own rooms so that they won't be stranded in the middle of nowhere if they get kicked out. We will just have to keep it moderated (not the drinking, just the noise). If you (you) know that you're getting down here by some manner, please leave feedback saying what form of transportation you're using so that I can get an idea of how many trips to each station will be made, carpools can possibly be created, etc. -TK 10/100: Drinking Name: The Scanner 20 Date: 8:24 am Fri May 01, 1987 Whats the drinking age in St. Louis anyways? Please tell me they havent hit 21 yet. 11/100: SFD Name: Doom Prophet 21 Date: 4:26 pm Fri May 01, 1987 I'm glad that someone has a dissenting opinion on the drinking scene. While I do like to drink (on an average of about maybe 1 or 2 times a month, unless parents are gone or something), I also think that bragging about drugs and alky takes/shows no intelligence, and the person who refrains from doing that is a non-conformist. A bunch of people at my school call me 'the Anti-Pot Crusader' and similar names because I dislike hearing about how fucking drunk and stoned, etc, everyone got over the weekend for 2 hours straight. But tht doesn't mean I think it's wrong (unless someone is abusing, etc, selling shitt to buy drugs). You could take myy messsage as being a 'conformist' drinking/etc post since I stated some things about TK being drunk and pu king, but I don't consider it that myself. Doomy 12/100: well... Name: Sir Francis Drake 56 Date: 8:07 pm Fri May 01, 1987 yup, glad to see you understand my position. Of course it is equaly lame to brag about how you never dring/take drugs. The key of course is to do what you actualy want to do, not what you have vbeen conditioned (by society and of course the dreaded 'p-pressure') to do. sfd 13/100: Drinking Age Name: The Spectre 82 Date: 8:25 am Sat May 02, 1987 The drinking age in St. Louis, and all of Missouri, for that matter, is 21. Has been for a long time. And since most people on here are under 21, that could pose some problems. 14/100: Broadway Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 10:13 am Sat May 02, 1987 Oh, ok Randy, you can sleep in the same room with Broadway. Don't bend over for the soap. Forest Ranger did make some comments and so did Taran on Atlantis. We have to remember the saftey of the people going and without sounding crude, the question of Broadway's sexual preference has never been answered conclusively. There are several people who plan to attend that would be very concerned about their personal well-being if they were forced to room with Broadway and I think that it would just make things simpler if B-way grabbed his own room. :Knight Lightning 15/100: I still..... Name: The Disk Jockey 13 Date: 12:54 pm Sat May 02, 1987 think that Broadway won't show..... 16/100: Retraction Name: Phantom Phreaker 46 Date: 10:51 pm Sat May 02, 1987 I must 'apologize' (for lack of a better word) for my using of Broadway Hacker's name in that post, I feel that it is red, and weak for someone to rag on the ragee-of-the-month, behind their back. I personally have only one thing against him, and that is his bullshit story about a year ago when he to ok Radio Station down, and I believed him like a fool and took my board down and panicked. That just showed me that I can't really trust what he says. In all honesty, he did run a good BBS for a while, you can all give that much credit to him. Phantom 17/100: Bragging??? Name: Evil Jay 26 Date: 1:19 am Sun May 03, 1987 Somehow I feel some of these comments are directed towards me. Well, hell... I have a good time, why shouldnt I say so? I dont think I brag.. .I uh. -J (lame, lame LAME post...) 18/100: B-Way Name: Jester Sluggo 31 Date: 12:13 pm Sun May 03, 1987 If the guy shows up, then he shows up. You can't make plans around him. As for partying, if you wanna get smashed drunk and make a fool out of yourself, go ahead. I'll drink, but drink moderately (about 6 beers/Hour). As for trading info, or getting busted; DON'T bring anything REAL illegeal. Others have said this, and I hope that nobody blows it for the rest of us. About the drinking age: as long as you stay in the damn room and drink, and keep somewhat quiet, there should be very little of a problem. For buying booze, I should be able to buy (even though) I'm not old enough, because I'm big enough.. I think TK is a witness to that. Moosehead! / \ / luggo !! 19/100: S-Con stuff Name: Knight Lightning 2 Date: 4:13 pm Sun May 03, 1987 Ok ok, Forest Ranger says that until Broadway has actually been proven to be a homosexual that he shall be innocent until proven guilty. In other words well he met Cap
