Now let's use up this junk right away and DON'T try to store it.
Go put it outside someplace safe. In my high school, someone once sprinkled
tiny, tiny bits (like individual crystals) in a hallway. Works good, it's
like setting off a cap under someone's shoe after the stuff dries. You need
far less than 1/4 TSP for this, too.
Spread it out in the sun, let it dry. DO NOT DISTURB. If you hear a sudden
CRACK!, why, it means the wind just blew enough to set it off, or maybe it
just went off by itself. It does that too.
It must be thoroughly dry to reach max instability where a harsh look sets it
off. Of course the top crystals dry first, so heads up. Any sharp impact
will set it off, wet or dry.
While you're waiting for it to dry, go BURN the plastic cup and spoon you made
it with. You'll hear small snapping noises as you do; this is the solution
drying and going off in the flames.
After two hours or so, toss rocks at the NI3 from a long ways away, and you'll
see it go off. Purplish fumes follow each explosion. It's a sharp CRACK, you
can't miss it.
Anyway. Like I say, most people make this because the ingredients are so
easily available. They make it, say what the hell do I do now?, and sprinkle
tiny crystals in the hallway. Bang bang bang. And they never make it again,
because you only get one set of fingers per hand, and most people want to keep
them.
Or they put it in door locks (while still in the "sludge" form), and wait for
it to try. Next person who sticks a key in there has a big surprise.
(This is also why most high school chem teachers lock up the iodine crystals.)
Getting Rid Of It
If you wash the NI-3 crystals down your kitchen sink, then you have to only
wait for them to dry out and go off. They'll stick to the pipe (halogen
property, there). I heard a set of pipes pop and crackle for days after this
was done. I'd recommend going and throwing the mess into a vacant lots or
something, and trying to set it off so no one else does accidentally.
If you do this, good luck, and you've been warned.

I'm going to go ahead and skip all the stuff that's in your CDC reference
manuals.. what's a local file and all that. If you're at the point of being
ready to hack the system, you know all that; if not, you'll have to get up to
speed on it before a lot of this will make sense. Seems to me too many "how
to hack" files are just short rewrites of the user manuals (which you should
get for any serious penetration attempt anyway, or you'll miss lots of
possibilities), without any tips on ways to hack the system.
General hacking tips:
Don't get caught. Use remote dialups if possible and never never use any user
number you could be associated with. Also never re-use a user number.
Remember your typical Cyber site has a zillion user numbers, and they can't
watch every one. Hide in numbers. And anytime things get "hot", lay off for
awhile.
Magtapes are great. They hold about 60 Meg, a pile of data, and can hold even
