| [ P51-02@0x14: ...Xarthons submission about Linux IP_MASQ in Phrack 50... ] | |
| In reply to Swift Griggs ranting about my stupidity, | |
| (and disrespekt i recieved from the rest of the AOL community) | |
| Swift: the 'problem' in IP_MASQ which I reported was not meant | |
| to be considered a security problem, rather a notification | |
| of a potential problem, or at least this is what i was told. | |
| i stole this 'problem' from a evil hacker who works for the NSA. | |
| at the time, if i had been aware that the info i ripped from him | |
| was totally false, i would have said so in the letter. | |
| and believe me, if [named_removed] was awake more than 5 minutes | |
| a day i would be severely anal at him for informing me of | |
| this false intelligence. | |
| the main thing the hacker/phracker/aol community needs to | |
| learn from this event is that when giving information to be | |
| ripped, it should be correct. next time ill make sure | |
| to reword the context i have pasted with GPM properly. | |
| btw, i must apologize for the tabs in this letter, pico | |
| has proven difficult to use. | |
| i must go, i have to pry this gerbil off my flacid cock. | |
| thanks, and keep hackin! | |

| [ P51-02@0x2c: I have a question regarding a certain piece of hardware... ] | |
| It's a barcode scanner used at some terminals, such as public libraries. You | |
| plug it in between the keyboard and the computer, and when you want to scan in | |
| a barcode from a book being checked out or an item being purchased, you push | |
| the button on the SCANNER and it outputs the barcode in ASCII numeric just as | |
| if it had been typed in from the keyboard. So, now ya know. | |

| -- | |
| d00d, that's a s00p3r s3kr3t CIA, FBI g0vt. c0nspir@cY k3yb0ard f1lt3r!!@@!21 | |
| Actually, your mystery device sounds more like the "box" that connects between | |
| the keyboard and a barcode scanner. The "SCANNER" connector is where you'd | |
| plug in a typical "wand" or "gun" barcode reader. Not much you can do with it | |
| by itself, IMO. Again, it might be something else, but that's what it sounds | |
| like to me. | |
| nate@millcomm.com | |
| -- | |
| What this sounds like is the interface from one of the wand or | |
| lightgun-type laser barcode readers. These can be seen in action at | |
| some of the retail outlets around here for reading barcodes from | |
| clothing price tags or whatnot. One of those useful inventions that | |
| came out of turning 386's into POS terminals. | |
| It's probably useless without the accompaning wand, but you might keep | |
| it around and try to find the missing part. | |

| [ P50-03: Portable BBS Hacking by: Khelbin ] | |
| Dear Phrack, | |
| An old article of mine entitled "Portable BBS Hacking" appeared in Phrack | |
| issue 50 under the line noise section. In Phrack 51, a reader expressed that | |
| he/she was frustrated at not being able to apply the techniques that were | |
| described in my article. Please publish this response in Phrack 52 | |
| Let me state right off the bat that "Portable BBS Hacking" was not | |
| written to specifically expose any one software-specific problem. Instead, | |
| the article introduced a potential security threat to all BBS software so that | |
| SysOps around the globe could check for such vulnerabilities and correct the | |
| problem if it was present. A 'mock' Renegade setup was used just because some | |
| software had to be used in order to explain the theory behind the attack. | |
| Now to address the frustrated reader who is obviously aspiring to become | |
| an ever-so-elite BBS-h4x0r! While I often enjoy toking on a crack pipe, this | |
| method was tested prior to writing this article. It was tested on Renegade | |
| 04-x quite some time ago (as the article had been written some time ago, but | |
| never published). I currently run FreeBSD 2.2.2, so I havn't been able to do | |
| any more testing to help you hack BBS' and become ph33red. *BUT*, I am sure | |
| that versions of THD ProScan (a utility to scan uploaded files for viruses and | |
| other problems) will foil this attack. I am also sure (just by what I remember | |
| of how Renegade works) that If you follow the steps that I gave you in Phrack | |
| 50 correctly, upload a file, and then the SysOp were to (X)tract files from | |
| that file into \temp that it would work. I am also sure that there are other | |
| packages out there other than THD ProScan that do the same thing, but not in a | |
| secure fashion. The methods described in "Portable BBS Hacking" will also work | |
| with these packages. I hope you weren't just having Renegade check the file | |
| integrity with pkunzip -t or just view the contents of the zipfile. Your | |
| response wasn't very specific so it's hard for me to be specific in this | |
| reply however, I can tell that you also enjoy an occasional joint of | |
| crack, so feel free to contact me sometime and we'll smoke! | |
| Yours Truly, | |

| Phrack is the best magazine of its kind I've ever seen !!! Maybe you could | |
| write something about tapping telephone wires in order to record data and | |
| fax on a portable tape recorder. I've read an article from Damnation that | |
| was pretty good, but maybe you could give me, and the other readers of | |
| course, some additional information. I'm also interested in hacking the | |
| E-mail server of my ISP in order to read my teacher's mail, so what kind of | |
| program do I need to do this ? I know his login but I don't know his | |
| password. I've got a terminal program called Dialog that doesn't seem to | |
| be very useful, but maybe you know a better one ?!? Now, my last question: | |
| I'm using CuteFTP to log on to my homepage's folder . One day I've found | |
| some write protected folders and files, so my question is how do I get | |
| access to these files and how do I go to other folders to which I'm not | |
| allowed to go (hidden,write-protected, etc.) ? | |
| Thank you very much in advance ! | |

| Hey guys, I'm a first time ready and, well duh, first time responder to | |
| yer mag...I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with what you've all | |
| put together...as a Linux user, it shall certainly be a very useful | |
| utility/resource for me...I just nabbed the 51st issue and it rocks thus | |
| far...downloading the other issues as I type this...just thought you might | |
| like to know ya got another reader who is overjoyed at getting off his | |
| lazy ass and finally reading yer mag which i've heard about in the past... | |
| Ezines never were something for me but i said fuckit and went for Phrack.. | |
| your mag is the most informative and entertaining Ezine that i've seen to | |
| date (and i been on the 'net for 4+ years now...that might say something) | |

| I'd like to congratulate Narbo on his brief introduction to CCS7. I | |
| was begining to think that noone was interested in telecommunications | |
| anymore. | |
| [ Agreed. Note that we would very much appreciate further submissions of | |
| this kind. ] | |
| One thing I'd like to add for Phrack's Japanese audience is that they are | |
| the odd balls when it comes to signaling data links. While signaling data | |
| links are 56kbps in North America and 64kbps virutally everywhere else, | |
| Japan uses 4.8kbps links. Actually I guess we, in North America, are | |
| also a little odd at 56kbps but at least it's closer to the norm. :) | |

| oh yea..I know I'm not supposed to ask..but I don't have internet | |

| That said, can you walk the talk? If so, I have a challenge for you. | |
| [ 'walk the talk'? Note: This is email. Something you've mailed to a | |
| whiley bunch of knuckle-knobs. And quite possibly something that could | |
| be used to make others laugh at your expense. In the future, take the time | |
| to grammar and spell check your letters to minimize the emotional damage | |
| you are bound to suffer. ] | |
| I am a neophyte in the | |
| DarkSide,and need some help catching/avoiding a phreaker,hence the | |
| interest in your mag. He breaks into phone lines at home and work. | |
| Tapes conversations and interjects various rude noises on important | |
| calls. Do you have any ideas as to what I can/should do to protect my | |
| [ Sommy! ] | |
| privacy and catch this guy? If this is not within your realm of | |
| expertise, can you refer me to someone for whom it is? | |
| [ Try the PHONE COMPANY. ] | |
| Don't take my intial inquiry as anythng but an effort to become part | |
| of the hacker/phreaker world for the sake of my own protection. I | |
| [ For your own protection, I suggest NOT becoming part of *any* community. | |
| Live the rest of your life as a hermit inside a hollowed-out oaktree. ] | |

| Sirs, | |
| First,thanks for the obvious hard work that goes into your 'zine. | |
| I guess I'm what you what you would call a "tryin' to be". | |
| I've got all the back issues and read some every day.I was just | |

| Day in the Life of a Teenage | |
| Hacker: | |
| Story of My Current Non-Life | |
| By: | |
| Demonhawk | |
| I wake up, staring at the ceiling for ten minutes before my mother | |
| finally walks in and says, "Time to get up!" I stand and dress myself. Wearing | |
| the only thing that I can think of that I like, blue jeans and just whatever | |
| shirt looks best at the time. | |
| I go and comb my hair (walking to my mom's end of the trailer house to | |
| use that bathroom because mine doesn't have a mirror, nor a sink, nor more | |
| than 10x10 feet of space). I walk back to my room and get my books ready for | |
| school. The block schedual makes my backpack EXCRUTIATINGLY heavy on B days | |
| while on A days it is light as a feather. | |
| I lay down-most of the time-and go back to sleep. Others I turn my | |
| computer's monitor on and type something for a while (my mom says it is bad to | |
| leave your computer on all night, WRONG! Little does she fuckin' know it is | |
| better to leave it on!). It is time to go to school and my mom drives me to t | |
| he middle school (Connally Middle School) where I go in and play on the | |
| computer suntil school starts (get there 30 mins early). | |
| I go to my first class, still groggy from the little rest I had the | |
| night before while I lay awake in my bed pondering what I could do to the | |
| school's computer system. The recenlty installed network (Novell) was | |
| supposedly student proof (little do they know). I have the software and I | |
| could hack it easy. Crack the passwords that the teachers think they are so | |
| smart to have one that a student can't guess. | |
| I think about the consequences of hacking 'em, then realize that it | |
| would be stupid to hack 'em, after all, I am the only one smart enough on the | |
| computers to hack em. I can crack Windows passwords (easy) with a boot disk | |
| (or even booting into dos). | |
| Last year, I will remember angrily, I remember how I got a bum wrap | |
| for crashing a teacher's computer. I was on it then absent for a week and then | |
| come back to find out all fingers were being pointed at me. I got kicked off | |
| the annual "good kid's" Six Flag trip and that REALLY pissed me off. | |
| Then, as the first period teacher begins to yell something like "Get | |
| to work!" (I am in shop first period) I wake up and realize I had been | |
| thinking. Most of the period I will talk to my friends about hacking (the | |
| two-maybe three-friends I have in that class) and they will ask me computer | |
| questions and I will answer them (and if I don't know an answer I will make | |
| one up, after all, they have no idea how to use a computer to its full | |
| limitations). | |
| After a few more minutes of thinking I realize a virus will be the way | |
| to go. The only problem is putting it on the computer. How? Well, maybe if I | |
| can get access to a teacher's computer while she/he is out of the room. Yeah, | |
| that would be the only way. But the witnesses (who am I kidding the kids up | |
| there would LOVE to see the computers crash, in fact, I have been offered | |
| $$$MONEY$$$ to crash em). I think about the virus idea for a moment. Yeah, | |
| that is the way to do it. First period is over. I move to my second class. It | |
| is a no brainer (on both of the days) and I have a lot of time to plot out my | |
| plan. Trojan Horse. Yes, or maybe Darth Vader...as a calling card. Yeah, that | |
| would be the way to go. The Trojan Horse virus followed up by the Darth Vader | |
| virus. Yes. Well, | |
| I have one of those two. Now lets think here. How to gain access to the | |
| computer at school. The teacher looks at me and tells me to "get to work!" | |
| and I look at him/her and reply, "But I am already finished!" and they leave | |
| me alone. But, maybe I should wait until I am in High School (when the entire | |
| district will have the internet) and I could port in and leave the virus. | |
| Yeah, that would work, I couldn't be blamed since I wouldn't go to the Middle | |
| School any longer. That is a possibility. | |
| I cheat at my math for a while (copying the back of the book for some | |
| easy answers) not because I am dumb, hell no, I am in Algebra I in the 8th | |
| grade for Christ's sake! No, I am just lazy, except when it comes to the | |
| computers. Second period is over. | |
| I walk to my third class of the day, an hour till lunch when I get to | |
| talk to my ENTIRE 5 friends at one time (there are some almost friends in this | |
| group, people I get along with and, yes, on occasion like to hang around with). | |
| You see, I am a "nerd" and proud to be one! Now, this is the thing. I am not | |
| just ANY nerd, I am a nerd with RED hair and fairly THICK glasses with THICK | |
| frames (I want contact lenses that have mirrored silver on the outside but I | |
| am not allowed to have them for some fucking unknown reason). | |
| I do my work, hoping that lunch will come, and eventually it does. I | |
| walk down the halls meeting a friend or two along the way, getting pushed by | |
| hicks that don't think computers are "cool". (Just as something that made | |
| people think I did a speech in Drama class on how computers are gonna crash in | |
| 2000 because of the Millenium Bug. One kid almost pissed in his pants when I | |
| told them safty systems on Nuclear power plants might go offline and how that | |
| all cars with electronic timers that shut down until an inspection won't run. | |
| Plus power might go out, I think that made them appreciate computer freaks | |
| like you and me just a LITTLE more since WE are the only ones that can save | |
| them from that hideous fate!!) | |
| I am laughed at because I run and internet Star Wars club (The | |
| Conflict at www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/9875 ). But they don't laugh when I | |
| tell them I can hack into the school's computers. They look at me dumbfounded | |
| and then make some smart ass remark. I look at them for a second and walk away, | |
| I know they don't understand how much of a computer GENIUS I am. Well, to tell | |
| the truth I am NOT really a computer GENIUS. Well, in some ways I am. I mean I | |
| CRAVE knowledge like I CRAVE food when I am hungry and water when I am thirsty. | |
| I can't get enough computer knowledge, I ALWAYS need more (currently I | |
| am learning C, C++ JAVA, JAVAScript, Visual Basic, and QBasic <----I forgot | |
| most of what I used to know on that one) | |
| I eat my lunch (usually Nachos but sometimes Lays potato chips and an | |
| ice cream) and then go outside where I get an RC Cola. The bell rings and we | |
| are all herded back inside the main building where we suffer out the rest of | |
| the day. | |
| I make it past the rest of 3rd with no problem. Then comes fourth. It | |
| is a little nerve racking to sit there while time slowly slips by, waiting for | |
| that bell to ring so that you can be set free of this hellish place. | |
| The bell rings and I leave the school, heading outside where the buses | |
| load. Mine is the last and after an hour or waiting it arrives (thank GOD I am | |
| the first one off) and I go inside my nice, cool house. I turn my computer on | |
| (if it is off) and begin my homework (I lie about having homework so that I | |
| can play on the computer without being touched by my mother). I wash the | |
| dishes and water the dogs. Then I sit down and play on the computer a little | |
| bit. | |
| I get on the internet a little while later. I learn a LITTLE more | |
| hacking and play some games over the internet (ain't technology wonderful???). | |
| I am far from being an 31337 hacker, but I am doing some good a little. I am | |
| basically a newbie but I can still hack Novell (childs play). | |
| After a while of this I take a shower and lie down in bed, dreading | |
| the next day (unless, of course, it is a weekend). | |
| And that, is my Non-Life. | |

| Dear sir, | |
| First off, i think phrack is a wonderful publication, the best of its | |
| kind and better than most, if not all, of the computer related | |
| commercial publications. You and your staff are doing a great job and | |
| please keep up the excellent work :) | |
| [ So, we're better then 2600. Thanks! *That's* the validation we needed! ] | |
| That said, i have a request. I'm writing a paper on the hacking | |
| subculture and such a project would be, to say the least, severely | |
| lacking without the inclusion of groups like Phrack Inc., 10pht, and | |
| [ Phrack is not incorporated. And you mean `l0pht`. ] | |
| r00t. So i would greatly appreciate it if you could fit it into your | |
| [ You are already severely lacking. You failed to mention the guild. You | |
| even forgot b0w. ] | |
| doubtless busy schedule to send me a history of Phrack. It can be as | |
| brief or as in-depth as youd like. From just the date of creation and | |
| pivotal events in Phrack history to a summary of every passing member's | |
| contributions to the publication.. anything you can send will be an | |
| asset to me. Also, if you or any of your staff members would be so | |
| [ I'll get some of my interns right on that. Alhambra! Get to it! ] | |
| gracious and godly-wonderful as to answer the few questions below that | |
| would also be greatly, GREATLY appreciated. | |
| Q: What is your most commonly used handle and why did you choose it? | |
| [ `route`. Cos I thoroughly route my foes. And also cos I route through all | |
| my girlfriends' purses when they are in the bathroom. ] | |
| Q: What is your position at Phrack? | |
| [ I AM PHRACK. ] | |
| Q: When did you realize you were a hacker(or phreaker, cracker, | |
| whatever applies to you)? | |
| [ It is something you are born with. It is not something you learn. There | |
| is no single moment of realization. It is something you just `are`. It | |
| is this unexplicable and inexorable pursuit of knowledge. To learn. To | |
| break. To fix. To push. To optimize. To learn. To hack. ] | |
| Q: What do you think hacking is Really about? | |
| [ Oh c'mon man. Chicks and Money. That's what it ALL boils down to. ] | |
| Q: How do you think the 'scene' has changed, and where would you like | |
| to see it go? | |
| [ See P48-02a ] | |
| Q: If you could say anything to the community at large about hacking, | |
| what would it be? | |
| [ Um. Most of what you people consider hacking is simply a justification or | |
| shield for doing illegal acts. ] | |
| One last thing, do you know where(email, www address, whatever) i | |
| could contact current or former members of 10pht, r00t, or any real | |
| [ Um. Let's see. http://www.l0pht.com. http://www.r00t.org. And so on. | |
| You're not a very smart person. ] | |
| group (ie: not one of the lame new groups trying, unsuccessfully, to | |
| copy the greatness of the older groups)? | |
| Any response, including negation so i can search elsewhere, would be | |
| greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. | |

| do. | |
| [Receiving Machine no system req's except write access] | |
| TYPE I | |
| PASV (Give's IP then port) | |
| STOR | |
| [Sender Machine w/ver 2.4 or lower] | |
| TYPE I | |
| PORT <reciever's IP and port that was shown in the PASV command's output> | |
| RETR <filename> | |
| [Receiving Machine] | |
| Binary Mode Transfer Started | |
| It then goes on to get the file. | |
| But... | |
| If it is a wu-2.4.2 ver computer, the sender machine says Illegal PORT | |
| Command, when you type the IP and port of the receiving computer. You can | |
| only do a PORT command that includes the IP address that I am coming from. | |
| Sorry to say I don't know how to do any kind of source route or IP | |
| spoofing, although I'd be interested to hear if this was the only answer, | |
| and am not sure if there is a way to get around this. | |

| Hello there :) | |
| Probably u don't know who I am ... | |
| [ Definitely. ] | |
| well, I'm an italian boy and I wish to say ya one thing ... | |
| You're Great. | |
| [ Oh. C'mon now... Really? ] | |
| I've just start to reading Phrack (the last issues) and I guess that it's | |
| a very cool wonderful zine. | |
| [ Get out. You think so? ] | |
| Why am I tell ya this ?? | |
| Well, since I think that one person is as ya ... well he's great. | |
| [ Now stop that. I'm really getting embarassed. ] | |
| I'm trying to learn something from ya (and I shall overcome .... I hope :) ) | |
| I'm interesting in hacking .. but I'm not like some other ppl that always ask | |
| "How can I be an hacker ??" "where I can find something to became root" | |
| I guess that they haven't understood nothing | |
| The REAL HACKER (for me) is an expert, has an etic and he hack to learn | |
| The knowledge is one of the thing most important in the world (the other ones | |
| are the GIRLS =) ) | |
| So I won't ask ya how to be an hacker ... (even cause you'll propbably say me | |
| FUCK YOU ;) ) | |
| we're so far but maybe one day we could meet :) to share our knowledge | |
| [ Wait a minute. Are you coming on to me? ] | |
| Well, Thanx a lot and excuse me for all the time you spent to read this letter | |
| Excuse me also for my terrible english | |
| [ NP. Luckily Aleph1 was over, so he translated for me (`course, then I | |
| needed someone to translate that, too). ] | |
| Cool and great stuff has Phrack =) | |
| [ Agreed. Great stuff has Phrack. ] | |

| Hi, i noticed that you fixed up your web page, and thats nice, but my | |
| probelm is, that when i downloaded the phrack 51 issue, it came like this : | |
| " phrack51.tar.gz " so,....what kind of program do i use to open it? | |
| Can you just put all issues in zip format? That would help us all! | |
| [ 'Us all'? You are of course refering to the entire moron population. | |

| Hi, | |
| I sent you an email a while back asking you to forward a message to | |
| an author of one of your articles, since he wanted to remain anonymous. | |
| However I never got any reaction either from the author or from you. | |
| It's really important for me that I find him to discuss some | |
| techicalities. | |
| The article was; "How to make your own telecards" | |
| Volume Seven, Issue Forty-Eight, File 10 (and 11) of 18 | |
| Did you manage to send the email off to him successfully? | |
| All I want is for him to contact me on this address (raven@swipnet.se). | |
| If he wants to remain anonymous he could easily create an email account | |
| on www.hotmail.com or another service of that kind. | |
| It would be very nice of you to forward this email to the author of | |
| the article and reply to me wether it was sent successfully or if it | |
| bounced back. | |

| Just wondered why everyone raves about PGP, even thogh it's breakable. | |
| [ What the hell are you talking about? ] | |
| Is it possible to by-pass 'Proxy blocks' on an internet connection? The local | |
| iNet connection has blocks on all hack/warez sites whereby when you try and | |
| access them you get a 'You're trying to access a filtered URL' message. I | |
| figured it would be possible to re-route the conneciton but haven't a clue | |
| how. | |
| [ Shure. Try some covert tunneling via IP fragmentation or IP-IP. ] | |
| Also, how do you find out all this stuff about tapping phones, cell-net | |
| busting and telephone, errr, dabbling?? Do you research it yourself or just | |
| accumulate it form others? | |

| Hi, | |
| I've been reading a-lot of phrack zines lately and seeing your name | |
| in most of them, I thought your the best to answer my questions ??? | |
| To become a hacker where do I start ? | |
| [ New Zealand. Or at least as far away from CA as possible. ] | |
| What books should I read ? | |
| [ Anything by Stevens/Knuth or any of the millions of smarter-then-you people | |
| out there. It's a safe bet that, if they wrote a book, they're smarter then | |
| you. Very safe bet. Like, Fort Knox safe. ] | |
| What languages do I have to learn ? | |
| [ English is a good start. ] | |
| Which sites are the best to go to for information on hacking | |
| (including newsgroups) ? | |
| [ Anything in the alt.* hierarchy is a good plan. It's ALL *choice* | |
| material. ] | |
| I've only started hacking and that's into applications on my | |
| computer and my friends computers. | |

| Dear Phrack, | |
| I'm looking for a phreak to work in France and I couldn't find such | |

| and if so it is, how does it work ? | |
| Also, there is any site on the Net where I can find informations and tools | |

| Thank you so lot by advance for your advices. | |
| [ Now, I don't know any French people, but, I think if I met some, they | |

| Hello! | |
| Sorry for borring you, but I've some problems with L2 on FreeBSD-2.2.1R | |
| and decide to ask you about some tech details. | |
| The problem is that 'loki' unable to receive ICMP_ECHO packets from | |
| 'lokid'. I dig through kernel netinet sources and AFAIK, there is no way | |
| to pass ICMP_ECHO packets to userland. In ip_icmp.c we have: | |
| ICMP_ECHO->icmp_input()->icmp_reflect()->ICMP_ECHO_REPLY->icmp_send()->net | |
| So, there is no chance to receive ICMP_ECHO in application program, isn't | |
| it?! Unfortunately, I've no access to Linux box, so I can see what's | |
| hapen there. | |
| [ You are correct. In the accopmanying paper I allude to this problem. Net/3 | |
| based stacks will not pass ICMP request packets to userland. ] | |
| Is there are any workarounds? I can patch my kernel, but I think this is | |
| not right way. What do you think about this? | |
| [ Running the client and daemon on Net/3 boxes is a problem. ] | |
| p.s. The idea of patch is simple - create copy of packet's mbuf via | |
| m_copy(), send it to rip_output() and only after that pass original packet | |
| to icmp_reflect(). | |
| [ Cool! Write the patch up and I'll publish it in a future issue. ] | |

| After reading Phrack for years and being in the computer industry for | |
| 18+ years, I thought it was time that I write in. I have been reading Phrack | |
| for about 6 years now. Even talked to Erik Bloodaxe a few times in | |
| regards to Banyan Vines a couple of years ago when I was in the military. | |
| The scene seems to have changed so much now. It used to be full | |
| disclosure for the most part. Now everyone is so paranoid of sharing what | |
| they know, since everyone will rush a patch out for the latest exploit. | |
| How do you think others learned? Hacking is and always will be about | |
| exploring the limits of systems and networks. As you learn and share, | |
| others can expand their knowledge base. I started back on Atari 400s | |
| years ago coding in BASIC. I know many will laugh at that very thought, | |
| but it was a start. The groups back then were very tight, but also | |
| willing to help each other. If you showed a willingness to learn, and | |
| took the time to learn, instead of just leeching, it was amazing what | |
| others would do to help you. | |
| I have been digging through tons of sites lately, most are outdated hacks | |
| from what I have seen. Most places patch as fast something hits the `Net. | |
| But at least you can learn from the code if you take the time. I want to | |
| sends congrats out to Phrack. You guys along with a handful of others make it | |
| a point to keep sending things out to us in the community. One of the | |
| comments I am sure to hear is, then why don't you contribute things? I have | |
| not to Phrack directly, but that will change soon. I don't have a lot that is | |
| that great, that hasn't been patched for already. Mine is more tinkering and | |
| learning. Anyway, I am sure I have rambled enough for now. Just thought I | |
| would give my $.02 worth. Keep up the good work at Phrack! | |

| I am looking for a REALLY good telenet software and an also REALLY good | |
| [ I like the telnet software that comes with 4.4BSD. ] | |
| scanner software. Can you refer me anywhere? | |
| [ Scanners was a terrifiing movie! Why would you want to scan someone?!@ ] | |
| I also would like to know how you decode the password in the passwd | |
| file. | |
| For example it writes: | |
| john: x :9999 :13: John Johnson:/home/dir/john:/bin/john | |
| [ 'x' is a shadow password token. It cannot be decrypted. Futhermore: | |
| Unix passwd encryption is based on a modified version of DES. The user | |
| enters her login and password at the prompts. The user entered password is | |
| used as a key to encrypt a 64-bit block of NULLs. The first seven bits of | |
| each character are extracted to form a 56-bit key. (The other eight are | |
| used for parity.) This implies that only eight characters are significant to | |
| a password. The E-table is then modified using the salt, which is a 12-bit | |
| value, coerced into the first two chars of the stored passwd. The salt's | |
| purpose is to make precompiled passwd lists and DES hardware chips | |
| ineffectual (or more difficult to use). Then, DES is invoked for 25 | |
| iterations on the block of zeros. The output is 64-bits long, and is then | |
| coerced into a 64 character alphabet (0-9, A-Z, a-z, ".", "/"). This | |
| involves translations in which several different values are represented by | |
| the same character. Unix passwd crypts are the product of a one-way hash. | |
| Information about the key is dropped in every iteration. Bits are LOST in | |
| the process. crypt(3), therefore, CANNOT be decrypted, reversed, or | |
| otherwise subverted from any type of scrutiny of it's output. ] | |

| a story of adolencent revenge..by a not so adolencent at 3:37 am | |
| [ Be warned. This is long. ] | |
| So here i sit surrounded by an ashtray full of butts, empty beer cans, empty 2 | |
| liters, a giant pile of papers, a stack of cd's, dirty dishes, tangled cords, | |
| red and green lights, the ticking of the furnace and blurred vision. Just got | |
| back from the pool hall and pissed off. why? because an old friend is getting | |
| married tomorrow and I was not invited. Well WAS a friend is more to the point. | |
| Betrayal in any form is a great primer for hatred. I am a twenty something | |
| (hate that fucking phrase) loser with no clue on what the future holds..but I | |
| find pleasure in figurative masterbation with MY processor. Match wits with | |
| this bitch, tell IT what to do and make it my slave...cheap thrill. Having | |
| power over something or someone is great while it lasts..as long as you do not | |
| have a concience. But I was wronged, so it is justified..my actions I mean... | |
| right? My girlfriend is asleep upstairs and thinks I sit up a nights doddeling | |
| to porn sights. I tell her that my pc is not working right, so that is why I am | |
| always working on it...that fucker bill gates. If he was a smart as the world | |
| beleives he is, these activities would not be so easy. Back to the point. | |
| (sorry! had a few too many). So I sign on...search for allies, find them among | |
| other assholes that have somehow learned one of my handles. My buddies are up | |
| to some funny shit, not total anarchy, but funny none the less. So what do I | |
| do...I tell them that I am in a bad state of being at the moment..they ask why, | |
| "Time for pain!" is what I read. You know how it is. A friend since first | |
| grade on through college just fucked you for the 100th time. I feel sick about | |
| it, but none the less it's time to put to work the tricks of the trade. I give | |
| my TRUE friends the skinny on my intentions, they ablige with laughter and | |
| frothing mouths. I cough up his SS#, home, phone, bank, work, license, and | |
| online accounts. Too late to turn back now. It's funny how one will actually | |
| take the gas pipe for virtual strangers that one has formed an online bond | |
| with, and will enlist them in a sceme to fuck a real time friend. (ex-friend). | |
| Number one, divide up the tasks. Number two, failure is NOT an option. N!umber | |
| three, ruin wedding. So here we go...secretary of state was a blow off, no | |
| brainer. PhoneCo a bit tougher (but been there before). Bank..oh the bank.. | |
| online banking 24/7 was such a good idea. My collective cohorts and I were | |
| like pitbulls fighting over the neighbors cat. Giggeling like schoolgirls. HEY | |
| we are elite! or so we think..most of our shit (not all) was built by others | |
| before us. We did modify code, but the backbone was not our own. Now it is | |
| 4:30 am and the shit is flying...after reading the "underground" being a | |
| martyr seems cool. My head is spinning, but I have to remain focused at all | |
| times..it is hard. Account activity...money is due to the banquet facility | |
| tomorrow. At least the balance of the shindig after the initial deposit. Check | |
| numbers and cleared transactions. He has no fucking clue! The best part was | |
| that he had mentioned writing a check for his balance only one day before.... | |
| but the amount owed was not cleared yet on his account. So time to insert! | |
| --0.00 balance. Too easy. OK, fine. Just a bounced check to deal with. Phones | |
| turned off (schedualed termination for lack of response to notices sent). Oh | |
| yeah..did I mention Utilities? Bank takes care of payment...how convenient. | |
| Car payments, insurance, mortgage the whole nine. Zip, Zero, Zed. A repeater. | |
| Constant (0.00). I am an asshole, I know, but being fucked by a 'FRIEND" is | |
| troubeling and unforgivable in this situation. One more thing..Company Voice | |
| mail...fucked. Left a text to speech recording to boss, too funny and | |
| implicating to dillhole. It's like giving beavis and butthead a small piece of | |
| gray matter that works for only bad things. I should of been invited to this | |
| wedding, but never the less, he is marrying a whore. This may sound vindictive | |
| or like sour grapes, but totally true. So actaully we are doing him a service, | |
| he just does not know it. The "ruin the wedding" part is actually out. It will | |
| happen and the avalanche of our actions will not start until the following | |
| week. But at least i did something, right? What a stupid thing to concentrate | |
| on. I am an idiot with things I should not have. Most of my collective friends | |
| are striking political targets...I am bouncing a check. But I am over it now. | |
| Time to sit back and wait...wait for the phone call from a mutual friend to | |
| give me the dirt. I guess I am the type of guy that would get a boner if I | |
| reset his sprinkler timer to go off when he is trying to get in his car. | |
| Totally retarded, but I would laugh for days. Whats wrong with me? I am now | |
| sitting here in my self-made dungeon scratching my head saying to myself "boy | |
| that was way harsh". I know some people would pose the question, "what did he | |
| do to desrve this type of retaliation?". You know what it's like, you have | |
| been there at one time, and everyone reaches a point where counter measures | |
| are warranted. Case closed. What we did was but an inconvenience, but will be | |
| remedied. Nothing was left beyond repair. It's at these times! (no matter how | |
| trivial) you find out who is willing to take a bullet for you. And in some | |
| fucked up way, that is important. At least it is to me. it's 7:49 am and time | |
| for the sandman. | |

| Hey, I just finished a two hour picture tour at your webpage, looked at | |
| every single photo on that hosted there, I know for one thing, with all the | |
| film you have used, Kodak must love you! The pic's were a riot, matter of | |
| fact, I almost had an accident in my pants I was laughing so hard. Seam's | |
| [ Maybe you should get some rubber pants or those adult diapers. ] | |
| like you and your friends know how to have fun (my kind of people) all we | |
| have up here is half-wit clowns. Anyway, enuf with the bullsh*t, | |
| I just wanted to ask you who owns "INN", if it is you, how did you pay for | |
| all that hardware? Where are you located, Cali I assume? How old are you? | |
| Any chance of meeting somewhere to chat one day (IRC)? | |
| If it's to personal, I understand, if not, reply.. | |
| [ Are you coming on to me? ] | |
| Regards -Tyrant | |

| [ ...Regarding the 'Teardrop' IP fragmentation bug... ] | |
| Dear To whom it concearns, | |
| I do not think you should have posted this about your bug you found. | |
| Alot of maniacs got a hold of it and are crashing servers everywhere. The | |
| net has turned into anarchy. I have about 4 servers down that i patched. But | |
| [ The Internet is anarchistic by nature. ] | |
| the patch doesnt seem to work. | |
| [ The patch works fine. Perhaps it is you that is broken? ] | |
| I do not think you should have posted that publically like that. | |
| [ Thanks. I'll make sure to file your opinion in the ignorance-folder. ] | |

| I'm just wondering when is defcon and where can I find out about little | |
| bit more? | |

| that town. http://www.defcon.org for more info, although the future of | |
| this Con is in question. ] | |

| Where can I find ways to make Long Distance phone calls without getting | |
| billed (and prefferably without making any boxes?) | |
| [ A phone line for which you do not pay the bill. ] | |
| I'm not an idiot, I just thought I'd ask. :) | |

| To Whom It May Concern: | |
| I enjoy reading your stuff in Phrack and I pay attention to those stuff | |
| that is writen about unix reading stuff. I am just wonder if there is any way | |
| to play tricks or hack linux 1.2.13. It also runs pine under it and I think | |
| there is a trick with .rhosts in pine and ls /tmp. Could you please tell me | |
| more stuff about this?? I could download the /etc/passwd file but then I have | |
| to use a dictionary to hack it and is there away of hacking it without using a | |
| dictionary?? And how do I delete my last login file?? Thanks!! | |
| Your Truly | |

| [ Linux 1.2.13 is one of most inpenetrable versions of Unix out there today. | |
| Not only is the Linux O/S reknown for its stalwart and inpenetrable security | |
| but the 1.2.13 kernel was where Alan, Eric, Linus and the rest of crew | |
| peaked. That kernel revision is all-but immune to every known form of | |
| attack (with the possible exeception of quantum state disassembly). Your | |
| best bet is to kill yourself now. ] | |

| How ye all doin there at Phrack, hope your all keepin well. | |
| Anyways before I say anything I'll admit it, I'm a newbie, not a lamer a | |
| newbie. I've read all the hacking files I can get my hands on. There's only | |
| one small problem...I live in Ireland. A few weeks ago I was given an article | |
| written by "Hackwind" (1992 I think) about the hacking scene in Ireland. | |
| Believe you me. It's even worse than he says it is. The main problem is that | |
| all the files written don't relate to Ireland in any way . I don't even know | |
| ONE bbs in Ireland and NO ONE I have spoken to does either. I don't expect you | |
| to know much about the hacking scene in Ireland but if you do know anything, | |
| anything at all could you please send it to me. I'm dying for information. | |
| Information that I can't get my hands on. If you don't know anything about it | |
| perhaps you know of some contacts. | |
| Please let me know. Cheers, | |
| N0_eCH0 | |
| PS. Keep up the good work at Phrack. | |

| Daemon9, | |
| Hi! I'd like to ask you a very common question. Maybe everyday you have | |
| received mails asking it. Yes, what I want to know is how to become a great | |
| hacker. | |
| [ Swing from the shoulders, not from the arms. ] | |
| I am a freshman in university. I wanna to be a hacker, not for doing | |
| damage to others, but in my own view, being hacker require a lot of | |
| knowledge and creative. I aim at knowledge and want to find out new tech, | |
| while not just using others'. In fact, I have read many articles about how | |
| to become a hacker. And I have done them. | |
| Now, I have mastered C, unix shell, and some of TCP/IP. | |
| So what should I going to learn if I want to be a great hacker like you? | |
| [ If you have mastered the aforementioned topics, you are far greater then I. ] | |
| I am learing socket programming and IP-spoofing now, do you have any resource | |
| on the net to recommend to me? | |
| Please write me back. Hoping to hear from you soon. | |

| Daemon9, | |
| Hi, I forgot to ask you another question. Should I join a hacker group? | |
| And have you joined it? If so, please tell me which group I should join. | |
| And the mailing list, which one should a hacker join in your own view. | |
| Hoping to hear from you soon! | |

| [ A few letters to nirva and I. I swear to GOD these aren't made up. I | |
| *couldn't* make stuff like this up. ] | |
| Hey Route, | |
| I was wondering if you knew what colours Nirva dyed his hair for | |
| defcon and who made the dye, I was also wondering if you had a copy | |
| of LISP lying around somewhere. Are you going to the KMFDM concert | |
| this friday by any chance? I was wondering if you have ever been bust | |
| for hacking or phreaking and how you manage to hack with the constant | |
| surveillance by the man? Also if you don't mind telling me, how did | |
| you get into hacking and did you have a mentor at any stage? | |
| Ciao and thankx | |

| Hey Nirva, | |
| I was wondering how you got Real Kitty to drink coke out of those | |
| bottles from McDonalds (or is he just chewing on the straw). I was | |
| also wondering who Mike is currently going out with, not to mention | |
| you as well? If you could do me a favour and try to convince Mike to | |
| give me some webspace as well, I would really appreciate it. | |
| Thankx and Ciao | |

| Hey Mike, | |
| How would you like to win a date win with carmen electra, if you | |
| would like to, go on over to durex.com and there's a link from there | |
| to the american site with the entry form to win the date, and being | |
| such a brilliant hacker I don't see how you couldn't manage to rig | |
| the contest ;) | |
| Thankx and Ciao | |

| Arggh , think of me what you will, but i Can't get over a pic on yer | |
| site of nirva, prolly one of the l33t3st looking individuals i've seen, | |
| in personal appearance (no, i aint gay), but anyway .. what are those | |
| things on his arms ? I saw that photo with the caption "nirva has | |
| rickets" or something, but are they implants ? ie part of his | |
| image/appearance or where they sum sort of weird disease he picked up ? | |
| [ Due to the vitaman-D embargo of 1975 - 1978 in New Mexico, nirva contracted | |
| the rare disease osteomalacia (rickets). He has it mostly licked these | |
| days thanks to heavy amounts of vitamn-D laced EMF radition treatment he | |
| undergoes 2 times a week. Every now and then, however, he lapses, as you | |
| can see from the aforementioned picture. ] | |
| tah man .. great page btw | |
