[Return] for Next Letter (#190) [Mail]: From lodcom Sun Mar 21 22:51:11 1993 Return-Path: Received: by phantom.com (/\==/\ Smail3.1.25.1 #25.21) id ; Sun, 21 Mar 93 22:50 EST To: zone@phantom.com Subject: FYI From: lodcom@mindvox.phantom.com (LOD Communications) Comments: Legion of Doom Communications Date: Sun, 21 Mar 93 22:50:27 EST LOD Communications: FYI The Underground BBS Message Base Archive Project This is a limited distribution message sent out to a select group of people to inform them of the above mentioned project. This message or portions thereof may be used as an AD in the near future. For now, It is For Your Information. A significant portion of now retired computer underground participants (hackers and phone phreaks) have expressed interest in seeing all of those old messages they posted on various underground hacker bulletin boards during -- more -- their 'career'. This is especially the case for those who never downloaded the messages; sold, gave away, or chucked their disks; and those who were visited by law enforcement officials who TOOK EVERYTHING including those suspicious looking toasters 8-/. In addition to this crowd, those who have come to the 'scene' relatively recently are keenly interested in what their 'forefathers' talked about and what computer systems and networks they were into. This interest, and the growing curiosity of the general public to know what all those 'hacker kids' were REALLY up to (starting World War III of course!) is the reasoning behind this undertaking. Basically, we are creating a Historical Library of the dark portion of Cyberspace. Throughout history physical objects have been preserved for posterity for the benefit of the next generation of humans. Cyberspace however, isn't very physical; data contained on floppy diskettes has a finite lifetime as does the technology to retrieve that data. Most of the underground systems operated at a time when TRS80's, VIC-20's, Commodore 64's, and Apple //'s were state of the art. Today, it's difficult to find anyone who has one of these machines in operating condition not to mention the brain cells left to recall how to operate them :(. The aim of the project is to acquire as much information as possible which was contained on the underground hack/phreak bulletin boards that were in -- more -- operation during a decade long period dating from the beginnings (1979, 80 - MOM: Modem Over Manhattan and 8BBS) to the legendary OSUNY, Plovernet, Legion of Doom!, Metal Shop, etc. up through the Phoenix Project circa 1989. Currently messages from over 50 different BBS's have been dug up although very few are 100% complete. Not having a complete 'set' does not diminish their value however. The adventure began in late November of 1992 and the first Listing of completed message base files is anticipated within the next few weeks. Periodic updates will follow as more data is procured. As happens with most projects, the effort and monetary investment turned out to be substantially more than originally anticipated. Literally hundreds of man-hours have been spent copying dusty apple ][ disks, transferring them to IBM (or typing in hard copy versions when electronic versions were unavailable), organizing the over one thousand individual files according to what BBS the messages were originally posted on, splicing the files together, and a very slight editing of long distance access codes and computer passwords -- to help ensure that there is nothing illegal contained within the messages. In addition, the monetary investment is approaching $1000.00 for the above mentioned tasks which also include snail mail costs, phone bills, equipment costs, etc. This figure does not include a monetary estimate of all the man-hours spent during the life of the project. -- more -- In order to at least break even, a dollar value has been attached to each set of message bases. The dollar values were determined based on the following conglomeration: the number of years ago the BBS operated, its popularity and message content, and the total number of messages compiled. The prices were kept as low as possible ranging from $1.00 to $9.00 for each Copyrighted (c) 1993 by LOD Communications, H/P BBS message base set. Each File includes in addition to the messages themselves: a historical background and description of the system, any tutorials aka "G-Philes" that were online as well as downloaded userlists if available. Due to the economics involved in diskettes, snail mail costs, and filling orders, a minimum order of $20.00 is required. The files will be available in IBM (5.25 or 3.5 inch), Amiga, and Apple MacIntosh formats and orders are expected to be received at the requestors mailbox in 2-4 weeks. Paper versions can be ordered but cost double (many messages are of 40 column format and therefore wastes lots of paper) and take twice the time to deliver. There are a significant number of individuals helping in this project. Some have done typing, some uploading, some just trying to locate their disks and files. Gaps exist in many message bases...sometimes months at a time, some popular systems' messages have yet to be recovered. Those who may have downloaded messages or printouts may want to contact us. For those who may -- more -- have material to submit, an equal amount of material will be given freely to contributors. Over the next month word about this project and advertisements will seep into cyberspace and traditional print sources. From all indications, there is a very large demand from all types of people for the kind of information that is being collected. A wide dissemination of this information will hopefully provide those who were not part of the underground to experience and learn what it was all about instead of relying on those often slanted (negatively) accounts found in the press.

Obviously, very few people know "everything" about Unix, and I would like one reason that destroying a system would be better than learning to use it's "special" features. If you want to get your face on Newsweek, go ahead, but otherwise, don't start destroying stuff just for the sake of vandalism! Instead of being a vandal, do somthing Robin Hood-ish, like nice the parent process of the batch runner to -20 or somthing. Or give everyone full privilige to / or make them all user 1. Otherwise, as for metro tracing, that's kinda hard to swallow.

I don't understand some people very well. That is simply stupidity. There is really nothing "new and exciting" in phreaking anymore... most of what you hear is bullshit from some twelve-year- old that just learned how to use metro last week. There is simply no "new" anything! Eventually there will be, but until then these "phreak" boards will simply be "how to phreak"--tutorials instead of journals.

Now for my interpretation.... THERE IS A lesson Oin phreaking and hacking morality: I find it truly discouraging when peo ple, intelligent people seeking intellectual challenges, must revert to becoming common criminals. The fine arts of hacking and boxing have all but died out. Though you newcomers, you who have appeared on the scene in the l ast year or two, may not realize it, we had it much better. People didn't r ecognize our potential for destruction and damage because we never -- more -- flaunted it, nor did we exercise it. For hacking, it was the intellectual ch allenge which drove us to do it. The thrill of bypassing or breaking through someone's computer security was tremendous. It wasn't a case of gettin g a password from a friend, logging on, and destroying an entire database. We broke in for the challenge of getting in and snooping around WITHOUT detection. We loved the potential for destruction that we gave ourselves, but never used. Today, after so much publicity, the f un has turned to true criminality. Publicity we have received is abhorring . From WarGames to the headlined October Raids, to the 414's, the Inner Circle, Fargo 4a, and the recent NASA breakins--not to mention all the l ocal incidents that never made the big newspapers, like breakins at school com -- more -- puters or newspaper computers. TRW credit information services claims hack ers used the three stolen accounts to aid them in abusing stolen credit ca rds. The thrill of entering and looking around has shifted to criminal practica lity--how can I make my bank account fatter--how may I use this stolen credi t card to its fullest--how could I take revenge upon my enemies. And then there is the world of Phone Phreaking. The number of phreaks has grown from an elite few, perhaps te n or twenty, to well over a thousand. Still, there remain only abo ut 10 or 20 good, longlasting phreaks. The rest receive information and abuse its uses until the information is no longer valid. Even worse, they s eek publicity! They WANT to be caught! Many even use their real names on bulle tin board systems to promote publicity. -- more -- Meanwhile, the REAL phone phreaks have been resting in the shadow of the rest, waiting for phreaking to become so dang erous as to become a challenge once again. Once security tightens and only the strong survive (phreak Darwinism?), phreaking will be restored as a way to 'beat the system' without costing anyone anything. Hacking may soon be dead, but may pho ne phreaking live on! --------------------------------- --------------------------------- MESSAGE #79: ESSENTIALS FOR A GOOD BOARD --------------------------------- Msg left by: MAINTENANCE OPERATOR Date posted: TUE JUL 24 1:44:15 PM -- more -- THE SYSOPS OF THIS BOARD HAVE JUST DECIDED THAT ANY USER WHO HAS 2 DELETION REQUESTS BY OTHER ME MBERS WILL BE DELETED AFTER A SHORT CHAT WITH EITHER ME OR TERMINAL MAN I THINK YOU WILL AGREE THAT THIS IS A GOOD SYSTEM FOR GETTING RID OF THE "FAT" ON THIS SYSTEM.

When a non-priviledged COSMOS user logs on, a program usually called /BIN/PERMIT is run. This tells the system which COSMOS commands the user i s allowed to use. On the other hand, when a priviledged u ser logs in (ie, root, sys, bin, or preop), he is put into the normal UNIX shell (SH) where he can utilize UNIX commands such as: who & cat /etc/ passwd (which will printout the -- more -- password file). These users can also t ype CHDIR /USR/COSMOS and use ANY of the COSMOS commands since COSMOS is rea lly a sub directory in a UNIX system. They also have a bad (good?) habit of l eaving administrative notices and files (such as the decrypted passwords) layin g around in different directories of the system.

It reads through the main passw ord file searching for a match between A person's name and password and compar es the two. If they match, or if a person's pw is simply his name spelle d backwards. it will write the pw's into a file name of your choice. T his should net you several paswords -- more -- for every scan at least. The percentage of stupid people on any given system is usually quite high. The entir e search should take about 5 mins.

I'VE SEEN BLUE BOXES THAT USE 555'S. EVEN THOUGH THEY PUT OUT A SQUARE WAVE, YOU CAN TURN THIS INTO A TRIANGULAR WAVE BY PUTTING A CAPACITOR ACCROSS THE OUTPUTS (AUDIO). ALSO, IT MAY JUST WORK AS IT IS, THOUGH PROBABLY BETTER WITH THE CAPACITORS. SINCE A SPEAKER OR MOUTHPIECE CAN'T REPRODUCE A SQUARE WAVE EXACTLY, THEY TEND TO ROUND IT OUT A BIT. FEEDING A TRIANGULAR WAVE THROUGH THIS MAY WORK. I CAN'T BOX WHERE I LIVE, BUT I'VE USED A TI-994A AND C-64 THAT SENT OUT SQUARE-WAVE OUTPUTS.

If you are at -- more -- a payphone calling one of these things and talk for less than 3 minutes, you will get your money back. I don't know where they work any more, but I thought I'd mention it because I found a source for the critical component: 56V Zener diodes; Mouser Electronics sells them (619)449-2222. Here's how to build one: You have two phone lines, each with Ring & Tip leads (red and green). When the phone is on-hook, the voltage across these leads is 45V. When the phone rings, it goes up to 90V. You connect the Zener diodes across each pair of ring and tip leads; this prevents the voltage from going above 56V, and the phone company thinks the phone has been answered, but the voltage goes back to 45V because the phone is on-hook, and the call seems like it was never answered. To connect the two phone lines together, connect ring to ring and tip to tip with a 0.5 micro-F capacitor rated at 100V. You can use this with two phone lines, or as many phone lines as you want. Each phone line will have the Zener connected across its two wires. To connect multiple phone lines, each ring lead must be connected to capacitors going to every other ring lead. Same for the tip leads. So if you want a 4-line loop, you would need eight -- more -- capacitors and four Zeners. (1-29, LAST=28, QUIT=Q) READ MSG.# MESSAGE #29: GREEN JUSTIFIED (SPACEBAR QUITS MESSAGE) MSG LEFT BY: PETER MCIVERS I guess a green box is called that because green is the color opp osite of red,; a red box simulates coins at one end, and a green box returns them at the other. Besides, the people who first thought of it decided to call it a green box, in some issue of TAP I think in 1981. I don't know why a white box; I've thought of it myself. I would think because white stands for pure and good, and a white box (Touch-Tone) seems pretty harmless. A gray/silver box (same thing) has been influenced a bit by the dark side of the hack, but not totally?? Well, maybe.

THE ARTICLE SAYS THERE IS AN 'ALERTING WINK' FOLLOWED BY ONE OF THESE MF TONES (NOTICE SIMILARITIES WITH BLUE BOX TONES -- COIN RETURN IS THE SAME COMBINA- TION AS KEY PULSE). I THINK THE ALERTING WINK IS A 2600 PULSE. THERE WAS SOME WORK ON THIS IN AN ISSUE OF TAP SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THEM. ALSO, THE NUMBERS 1) TO 5) STAND FOR THE NUMBER OF 'ON-HOOK WINKS' USED IN THE MULTIWINK SIGNALING VERSION OF THE SIGNALS ABOVE. THE MULTIWINK I THINK IS WINKS OF 2600, AFTER AN INITIAL 2600 WINK. COMBINATION 6 IS JUST USED IN THE EXPANDED INBAND SIGNALING SYSTEM, WHICH USES THE MF TONES ABOVE. IF ANYBODY KNOWS HOW TO BUILD A GREEN BOX, I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT.

The dialup will respond with a prompt, the "security message", then wait for a PW. They are only 4 digits long. DON'T type a letter, there are special alarms rigged for that. There are up to 64 "dlup clients", so -- more -- the keyspace is weak, (1 to 64)/10^3. If you get in it will respond by typing a client ID and clock read, e.g.: "WP CCIS NETMAINT 21:01:34 JUN 3 1984" (for an imagined client, "White Plains CCIS Network Maintenance") and give you a systems prompt. From there, you will be in total control of an ESS#1. It allows 5 tries before dropping you, and 10 minutes w/o typing before logging you off. I don't know any baud rates, but the ESS PUC, (Periheral Unit Controller, off of the ESS's call store buffer) passes data to this subprogram as 7bit ascii w/o lower case. It ends some lines of text with the ASCII char EOT, which may lock up your modem. There are apparently no backdoors in this subprogram, but it seems that the entire security index is based on a pointer, "post-login", which is zerod when you're in. If you -- more -- get a dialup, try doing timing-related security code digit entrys, ie type 1, wait some even multiple of 440ms (the frequency with which this routine is called) and typing 0..it may possibly fuck up some pointers, and zero you in. The system is UNIX-like, and naturally the best place to be is "root". EPL is very complex, If anybody has any info on ESS, drop me a letter. later, Paul Muad'Dib (1-13, LAST=13, QUIT=Q) READ MSG.# ====================================================================== {Knights of Shadow Sub-board} MESSAGE #6: KNIGHTS INFO -- more -- (SPACEBAR QUITS MESSAGE) MSG LEFT BY: MR.

Since he has the phone numbers of so many people who hate him, he won't know who did it. 7) Bill third-party calls to his line. 8) Bullshit his CO to give out his credit card number, or have them send a card to his 'son at college'. I'm open to suggestions. Necromancer, I see you alot on Mark's (313) board, is there a shadow knight acct there?
