| Well, here it is: Phrack 43. This issue should really piss every security | |
| professional off. Well, actually, none of them should ever see it because | |
| only two people have registered their subscriptions. | |
| But, then again I think we all know that the whole world is FULL of | |
| lying, thieving people who just don't care about other people's | |
| property. No, smarty, not hackers...computer professionals! | |
| CASE 1: | |
| The Computer Emergency Response Team. Bastions of life, liberty and the | |
| pursuit of happiness. CERT had been on the Phrack mailing list | |
| previously, and was sent a copy of 42 (as was everyone) to give them | |
| the opportunity to subscribe. Rather than do the right thing | |
| and let us at Phrack know that they were not interested in paying, | |
| and to take their name off the list, Ed DiHart instead forwarded off | |
| several copies to his cronies. | |
| Luckily for us, Ed is not the best typist, and the mail bounced all the way | |
| back to Phrack. I called Ed and asked him why he would do such a thing, | |
| which was clearly a direct violation of US Copyright Law. Ed claimed | |
| he didn't know of any new rules for Phrack, and that he had always forwarded | |
| off a few copies to his pals. I told Ed that this practice was unacceptable | |
| and that if he wanted to continue to get Phrack he and his pals would all have | |
| to register their subscriptions. Ed said that he did not want to pay | |
| and to take CERT off the list. | |
| A month prior to this Ed had said to me at the Computers, Freedom & Privacy | |
| conference in San Francisco, "Why are YOU here anyway? It sure is IRONIC | |
| that someone whose goal in life was to invade other people's privacy would | |
| be attending a conference on protecting privacy." I walked away from him in | |
| disgust. | |
| While talking to Ed about Phrack I said, "You know Ed, it sure is IRONIC | |
| that an organization such as CERT, whose main goal is to help protect | |
| the property of others would so flagrantly violate US Copyright law and | |
| completely disregard someone's property rights." Man, did that feel great! | |
| CASE 2: | |
| BT Tymnet. Dale Drew, security guru, made the statement on IRC about | |
| Phrack, "I have absolutely no desire to pay for anything having to do with | |
| hackers." Later, someone from Dale's machine at BT Tymnet (opus.tymnet.com) | |
| logged into Len Rose's machine and ftp'd Phrack 42. With prior knowledge | |
| Phrack was not free, he willingly used company property to commit a crime. | |
| At most companies, that is grounds for termination. Luckily for Dale | |
| Tymnet doesn't give a shit. In fact, Dale several times since has gone | |
| back on IRC stating, "People here are Tymnet are kind of upset about | |
| Phrack 42." This just shows that people at Tymnet are just as criminal | |
| as they say hackers are. Since they could care less about MY property, | |
| then why should I care about theirs? Maybe I should print a list of | |
| all Tymnet internal NUIs! Well, two wrongs won't make a right, so I better | |
| not. | |
| I did, however, send email to Dale stating that we were aware of Tymnet's | |
| transgressions and that we may be forced to take legal action. I have | |
| decided to offer BT a sweet deal on a company-wide site license. We | |
| shall see if they take me up on this offer, or continue to steal Phrack. | |
| CASE 3: | |
| Gail Thackeray. A woman sworn by the court to uphold the laws of the | |
| land. This woman had the audacity to tell me that unless I | |
| enforced my copyright, it was worthless. Unless I enforce it. What the | |
| hell does that mean? Am I supposed to raid companies myself and | |
| go dig for evidence that they have stolen my information? Geez...it's | |
| not like I'm Bellcore. Gail's disgusting interpretation of the law, | |
| that unless you are big enough to stand up for yourself then you have | |
| no recourse, is a festering sore on the face of the American Legal system | |
| and I personally am appalled that this woman is allowed to act as | |
| a law enforcement professional. | |
| Oh well, as you can tell I've had a little fun with all this. And I have | |
| effectively proven my point. Security people, corporate professionals, | |
| and law enforcement types are just as unscrupulous and unethical as they | |
| have always claimed that we are. | |
| Only TWO PEOPLE within the computer/legal/security profession have the right | |
| to receive and keep copies of Phrack. Winn Schwartau, and a man at Mitre. | |
| It's amazing that they are the only ones with any scruples, isn't it? | |
| Well, let's get on with the issue. This one is pure, unadulterated evil. | |
| Only the strong will survive this time. We've got Cellular, we've got | |
| Novell, we've got 5e, we've got PHRACK TRIVIA! Get comfortable, grab | |
| your favorite intoxicant, and enjoy. | |
| *NOTES* Some of you will recognize the 5ESS file from the Summer issue of | |
| 2600 magazine. This file was sent to both myself and E. Goldstein. I | |
| was told by the author that 2600 was not printing it. Wrong. Well, we | |
| got permission from 2600 to print it here too since its such a good file, | |
| and since I spent like 8 hours dealing with the author correcting | |
| and editing it. In the future gang, if you send something to Phrack AND | |
| to 2600, TELL US BEFOREHAND! The last thing I want to hear is, "Phrack | |
| is plagiarizing 2600...gawd they are so lame." The acronym file, you will | |
| note, is DIFFERENT. Heh. | |
| In addition to the above, you may notice that we were a bit late in | |
| distributing this issue. As many of you saw through the "resubscribe" | |
| blurb sent over the mailing list, Phrack is not going through Stormking.COM | |
| any longer. The struggle to relocate put us into further delays | |
| but I've managed to take care of securing a new distribution site. | |
| We want to thank everyone at Stormking for shipping Phrack out for | |
| so long, and wish them the best in their future endeavors. | |
