SummerCon '87; Good-bye & Good Luck! Sunday, June 21, 1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forest Ranger dropped by early to take Bill From RNOC and Ninja NYC to the
train station, Taran King went along for the ride. It would be over 24 hours
before they got home. Tuc took Dan The Operator to the airport around 7 AM
and at about 8 AM Cheap Shades and I dropped off Sir Francis Drake who was on
his way to Boston. I took Cheap Shades home and then went back to my house to
crash out.
Forest Ranger went back to Best Western to find everyone in Bill's room. Bill
and Ninja never checked out because of an excessively large phone bill that
they didn't want to pay, so everyone took advantage of this situation and
started to to order room service. Sometime later a bellboy appeared to
collect the money due for the room service and everyone left leaving Forest
Ranger behind. "Hey, I'll be right back, I left my wallet in my car, hold on
a sec, okay?" FR never returned and everyone went home except for Tuc who was
at another hotel (He took a room at Ben Franklin because he wasn't welcome at
Best Western after what happened the Sunday previous).
Around 10 AM, I decided that I didn't feel like sleeping and started playing
the tape only to find several unauthorized recordings. Dan had been taping us
all throughout the Con, but the interesting parts came later. There was part
of an Alliance teleconference on the tape where Dan tried to act like he was
some real important person (what a joke!) and a botched up social engineering
job. The BIG shocker hit when I flipped the tape over to discover 45 minutes
of a conversation with John Maxfield aka Cable Pair of BoardScan. I won't go
into details about the conversations right now, but the scary part is that the
tape ends before the phone call does. In other words we don't know exactly
how much information was passed, but we do know that it has been an ongoing
thing, perhaps for months. An actual overview and possible transcript of these
conversations will appear in PWN XV.
I was in shock. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! It especially hurt
when information was passed about people that I actually knew and had met. If
only I had played that tape the night before, this would be a different story
entirely. I didn't know exactly what to do. I had stopped calling out, but I
was willing to pay for a few calls to spread the news. The only problem was
that the majority of the people I wanted to contact were still en route home
or unreachable. I finally was able to reach Tuc who was still in St. Louis.
He dropped by and I played him the tape. Since then, Taran King and Forest
Ranger have also heard most of the tape and preliminary investigations have
begun.
We have discovered some information linking Dan The Operator to the FBI, but
more on that next issue.

===== Phrack Magazine presents Phrack 15 =====
===== File 1 of 8 : Phrack 15 Intro =====
8/7/87
So, did you miss us? Yes, Phrack is back! Phrack Magazine's beloved
founders, Taran King and Knight Lightning, have gone off to college, and the
recent busts (summarized completely in this month's Phrack World News) have
made it difficult to keep the magazine going.
TK and KL have put the editorship of Phrack in the hands of Elric of
Imrryr and Sir Francis Drake. SFD is primarily responsible for PWN. As of
yet we have no 'Official Phrack BBS.'
Due to various obstacles, the first issue under the new editorship is
rather small. Fortunately, however, the overall quality of the files
presented is among the highest ever. We've managed to keep references to
Oryan QUEST down to as little as possible and we've resisted the temptation to
include some second-rate files as "fillers." Naturally, we're still looking
for excellent, unpublished phreak/hack/pyro/anarchy files to publish in Phrack
XVI and beyond. If you have an article, we'd like to see it! Get in touch
with SFD or Elric when your file is ready for submission.
