break into computers ("hackers") and people who fraudulently obtain
telecommunications services ("freakers") are a highly sophisticated and close
knit group. They routinely communicate with each other directly or through
electronic bulletin boards.
[Note: When a Phrack reporter called Lewis Jackson and asked why after
his no doubt extensive training he didn't spell "freakers" correctly with a
'ph' he reacted rather rudely.]

26. Through my training and investigations, I have learned that evidence
stored in computers, floppy disks, and speed dialers is very fragile and can
be destroyed in a matter of seconds by several methods including but not
limited to: striking one or more keys on the computer keyboard to trigger a
preset computer program to delete information stored within, passing a strong
magnetic source in close proximity to a computer, throwing a light switch
designed to either trigger a preset program or cut power in order to delete
information stored in a computer or speed dialer or computer; or simply
delivering a sharp blow to the computer. [Blunt blows don't cut it.]
27. Because of the ease with which evidence stored in computers can be
destroyed or transferred, it is essential that search warrants be executed at
a time when the suspect is least likely to be physically operating the target
computer system and least likely to have access to methods of destroying or
transferring evidence stored within the system. Because of the rapidity of
modern communications and the ability to destroy or transfer evidence remotely
by one computer to another, it is also essential that in cases involving
multiple suspects, all search warrants must be executed simultaneously.

The Flight of The Mad Phone-Man's BBS to a Friendly Foreign Country
Using my knowledge that the pigs grab your computer when they bust
you,I got real worried about losing a BIG investment I've got in my IBM. I
decide there's a better way.... Move it! But where? Where's safe from the
PhBI? Well in the old days, to escape the draft, you went to Canada, why not
expatriate my board.... Well the costs of a line are very high, let's see
what's available elsewhere.
One afternoon, I'm working at a local hospital,(one I do telecom work
for) and I ask the comm mgr if they have any links to Canada? He says why
yes, we have an inter-medical link over a 23ghz microwave into the city just
across the border. I ask to see the equipment. WOW! My dreams come true,
it's a D4 bank (Rockwell) and it's only got 4 channel cards in it. Now, being
a "nice" guy, I offer to do maintenance on this equipment if he would let me
put up another channel...he agrees. The plot thickens.
I've got a satellite office for a business near the hospital on the
other side, I quickly call up good ole Bell Canada, and have them run a 2 wire
line from the equipment room to my office. Now the only thing to get is a
