| Retraction | |
| ---------- | |
| We at Phrack Inc, respectfully retract all statements made in last issue | |
| concerning Stronghold East Elite and the LOD. We are sorry for any | |
| inconvenience this may have caused you. | |

| Phreaks Against Geeks | |
| --------------------- | |
| This group was formed as a joke by The W(hack)o Cracko Brothers Inc. on a | |
| conference in December of 1985. The charter members were TWCB, taRfruS, Blue | |
| Adept, The Clashmaster, and a few others. Since then, Catcher in the Rye and | |
| the Slovak have tried to join. | |
| Later that month, Boston Strangler and Micro Man formed PAP, which stands for | |
| Phreaks Against Phreaks Against Geeks. Other opposers of PAG include: | |
| Hack Attack, The Detective, Kleptic Wizard and The Overlord 313. It is not | |
| known if these others are now in PAP or not. | |
| All of this nonsense was really started on the Dartmouth System and is mainly | |
| a local feud of phreaks in the Boston (617 NPA) area. | |

| Brainstorm Gets 10 Megs | |
| ----------------------- | |
| Finally, after several months of promises, Brainstorm (ELITE) now has a 10 Meg | |
| Hard-drive. As of January 1, 1986 Modern Mutant cleared the userlog of | |
| Brainstorm and a membership drive was started. Note: To become a member of | |
| Brainstorm, you will have to take a small (and more or less easy) filter. | |
| Some other new features on Brainstorm are online games; Karate, Football, and a | |
| hacking simulation. | |

| Anarchy Inc. Disbanded | |
| ---------------------- | |
| Anarchy Inc., a once very famous g-phile writing organization, has been | |
| disbanded. Basically because most of its membership are now attending college. | |

| Dartmouth Conferences To Be Abolished? | |
| -------------------------------------- | |
| This message was given on January 9, 1986 when a user would try to join a | |
| conference. | |
| XCaliber, Fantasie, Spectre, etc are not available until tomorrow. Due to | |
| pressure from Kiewit and some users, conferences have been disabled for one | |
| day. Hopefully this will remind some people that the conferences are a public | |
| service on the part of a few people and are not a "right". Recent abuse of the | |
| conferences has made caring for these conferences almost more trouble than they | |
| are worth. These abuses have also caused some users to complain to Kiewit. Too | |
| many complaints and they might vanish altogether. If everyone will work at | |
| keeping the conferences reasonably clean and free of abuse life will be much | |
| easier. Thank you for your time and appologies for the lack of conferences. | |
| You are no longer connected to conference "XYZ". | |
| Later, Corwin got pissed off by the password abuse that was going on and killed | |
| almost all non-Dartmouth student passwords. It is also rumored that he took | |
| down the DUNE bbs, however Apollo Phoebus says that it is a temporary thing and | |
| that DUNE will be going back up soon. | |

| MCI Employee Bust | |
| ----------------- | |
| Employees at MCI were creating fake accounts and then running up massive bills. | |
| Then later they would either credit the accounts or say that the subscriber | |
| reported code abuse. Any employee found doing this was fired. | |
| Another way these employees were cheating the company was by reporting code | |
| abuse on their own accounts, however MCI Security using CNA quickly caught | |
| these employees. | |
| Note: MCI Security has stated that the only real way that they can catch | |
| abusers of the phone company is by calling the numbers that the abusers | |
| call and asking them who they know making these calls. | |
| Information has been provided through MCI Security | |

| MCI/IBM Merge | |
| ------------- | |
| MCI Telecommunications company has merged with IBM and their phone industry | |
| SBS. This was an effort to join the two as strong allies against AT&T. | |
| IBM computers Vs. AT&T computers | |
| MCI Telecommunications Vs. AT&T Telecommunications | |
| Changes arising from this merger (if any) are not known, but none are expected | |
| for some years. | |

| The Life And Crimes of the W(hack)o Cracko Brothers | |
| --------------------------------------------------- | |
| The date is somewhere in December of 1984. Peter writes a code hacker for the | |
| Hayes and tells Tim NOT to use it on Sprint because they trace. Sometime later | |
| that night Tim received a call from Scan Man, sysop of P-80. | |
| Scan Man said he needed TWCB to hack him some Sprint codes cause he didn't have | |
| the time or a Hayes. Tim did it for him on the 314-342-8900 Sprint extender. | |
| He left it on all night and the next day while he was in school. Sprint traced | |
| him. At 9:00 AM the next morning agents from the FBI, AT&T, Western Union, | |
| GTE, and Southwestern Bell, arrived at TWCB's house. | |
| They were let in, bringing with them cameras and tape recorders among other | |
| equipment. Upon seeing this Peter blew into an upstairs extension and | |
| cancelled the dialing program, but not before the agents made sure it was the | |
| right place. | |
| All of TWCB's computer equipment was confiscated and Tim was taken downtown | |
| shortly after being picked up at school. Peter was sick and left home. Tim | |
| was later released in his mother's custody. | |
| They each received probation and 100 hours of county service. | |
| That was then... | |
| Recently TWCB has come under investigation for the following: Drug use and | |
| dealing, burglary, forgery, and fraudulent use of a credit card. | |
| Peter: 8 Class A Felony charges | |
| 1 Class A Misdemeanor charge | |
| 1 Class B Misdemeanor charge | |
| Tim: 6 Class A Felony charges | |
| 2 Class B Misdemeanor charges | |
| Note: Some of these misdemeanors are for not returning library books. | |
| Also it has been said that Tim has been in jail 11 times. Both members of TWCB | |
| are now enrolled in a reform school. | |
| The information in this article has been provided by TWCB, directly and/or | |
| indirectly. | |

| Blue Adept: Gone For Good | |
| ------------------------- | |
| Blue Adept, known for being an all around loser and Dartmouth impersonator, | |
| decided to try blue boxing. For some reason he decided to call an out-of-state | |
| trunk direct. | |
| Later that month Blue Adept and his parents received a phone bill with a | |
| charge around $386.00. This led to his being restricted from using the phone. | |
| Sometime after this incident Blue Adept received an invitation to join on a | |
| conference. He wasn't home but his parents decided to stay on and listen in. | |
| Blue Adept is not allowed on conferences anymore and all calls to him are now | |
| screened. | |

| Overlord 313 Busted: Step dad turns him in | |
| ------------------------------------------ | |
| Overlord's step-dad always would be checking his computer to see what was on it | |
| and what was nearby. Last week he noticed the credits in Overlord's file on | |
| Wiretapping, which can be seen in this issue of Phrack. | |
| He reported his findings to Overlord's mom. She had a talk with him and he | |
| promised to stop his evil ways. His step-dad didn't believe him for a second. | |
| 1/11/86 | |
| Step-dad goes on business trip, where he meets Ma Bell executive Don Mitchell. | |
| Step-dad asks all sorts of different questions regarding use of MCI dialups and | |
| Alliance Teleconferencing, and talks about how his step-son does all these | |
| things and more. Don strongly suggests that he reports this to the phone | |
| company... | |
| 1-13-86 | |
| HE DOES | |
| ------- | |
| No legal action against Overlord has taken place as of now. | |

| Maelstrom 305 Busted | |
| -------------------- | |
| While I am not at liberty to revel all the information concerning this bust I | |
| will mention the bare facts. | |
| Maelstrom hacked into the Southern Bell Data Network (SBDN). This system | |
| happened to be local to him so he did not bother to use an extender. | |
| Unfortunately this system also had ANI (Automatic Number Identification). His | |
| computer and other equipment as well as all his files were confiscated as | |
| evidence. | |
| Information provided by the Maelstrom of 305 | |

| R.I.P. Broadway Show | |
| -------------------- | |
| The Broadway Show BBS in New York is now down, and Broadway Hacker will soon be | |
| in Washington DC. This C-64 run bbs, was one of the best in its time, but | |
| later it became a hangout for rodents. | |
| >From its ashes rises a new bbs, however its name has not been released as of | |
| this writing. Broadway Hacker will sysop this bbs for about a week and then | |
| turn it over to the new sysop. His name is not yet know, probably since he | |
| hasn't a handle yet. | |
| Although this new bbs will appear legal and have some legal sections it is | |
| indeed a phreak bbs, and should be checked out. | |
