The LOD Communications Underground H/P BBS Message Base Project:
Information and Order Form File Revision #3, 11/30/93
Size of this File: 35 K, Distribute Everywhere
This file contains:
- Background information on the project;
- FAQ and pricing;
- Comments from people who have purchased the H/P Message bases, excerpts
from 2600 Magazine's Review of the project (Autumn 1993 Issue) and
excerpts from Computer underground Digest (CuD) Issue #5.39;
- Volume #1 Contents, Volume #2 Contents;
- The Lodcom project's list of Contributors; and
- Order form and stipulations.
This is the third version of this file. Nearly all the sections have been
updated since the last revision. Please take the time to read through the file
in its entirety. This file is approximately thirteen pages in length (35 K)
and should answer all of your questions.
The Project:
------------
Throughout history, physical objects have been preserved for posterity for
the benefit of the next generation of humans. Cyberspace, however, isn't very
physical; data contained on floppy diskettes has a finite lifetime as does the
technology to retrieve that data. The earliest underground hacker bulletin
board systems operated at a time when TRS-80s, Commodore 64s, and Apple ][s
were state-of-the-art. Today, it is difficult to find anyone who has one of
these machines in operating condition, not to mention the brain cells left to
recall how to operate them. :-(
LOD Communications has created a historical library of the "dark" portion
of Cyberspace. The project's goal is to acquire as much information as
possible from underground Hack/Phreak (H/P) bulletin boards that were in
operation during a decade long period, dating from the beginnings (in 1980/81
with 8BBS and MOM: Modem Over Manhattan) to the legendary OSUNY, Plover-NET,
Legion of Doom!, Metal Shop, etc. up through the Phoenix Project circa
1989/90. Currently, messages from over 75 different BBSes have been retrieved,
although very few message bases are 100% complete. However, not having a
complete "set" does not diminish their value.
Who Benefits From This Information?:
------------------------------------
- PARTICIPANTS who were on the various H/P BBSes may want to see their
contribution to history or reminisce about the "golden era" of hacking;
- ENTHUSIASTS who came into the "scene" after most of these boards were
down may want to see what they missed;
- COMPANIES who may want to see if their (or their competitors') phone
systems, computers, or networks were compromised;
- SECURITY PROFESSIONALS/LAW ENFORCEMENT who may want to see what
techniques were used to subvert computer security systems;
- SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES (including their libraries) who may want to
use the information for research in sociology or computer science as
well as for educational purposes in courses such as Computer Law,
Computer Ethics, and Computer Security;
- AUTHORS/PRESS who may want to finally get the facts straight about
"hackers"; and,
- THE CURIOUS PUBLIC who may want to sneak a peek into the inner realm of
the Computer Underground, especially those Restricted Access BBSes and
their Private sub-boards where only a small handful of "the best"
resided.
Were the individuals involved in the Computer Underground out to start World
War III, selling secrets to the Soviets, working with organized crime,
conspiring to do evil, or just a bunch of bored teenagers with nothing better
to do? How much did they know, and how did they find it out? Did they have
the capability to shut down phone service of Area Code portions? Could
they ruin someone's credit? Could they "move satellites in the heavens?"
Could they monitor packet switching network conversations or YOUR
conversations? The answers lie within the messages themselves.
Why is LODCOM Charging Money For The Message Bases?:
----------------------------------------------------
As happens with most projects, the effort and monetary investment turned
out to be substantially more than originally anticipated. With all of the
high-tech equipment available today, people sometimes forget that in the early
1980s, 14.4K baud modems and 250 MB hard drives were just a fantasy for the
home computer user. Most messages Lodcom has recovered were downloaded at 300
baud onto 143K disk drives, with each file usually no larger than 15K in size.
One could not call a BBS and download the complete message base in 10 minutes
and save it into one file. Literally hundreds of man-hours have been spent
copying dusty Apple ][ disks, transferring them to IBM (or typing in hard
copy versions when electronic versions were unavailable), organizing over one
thousand individual files (thus far) according to what BBS the messages were
originally posted on, and splicing the files together. Also, after consulting
with the appropriate civil liberties organizations and our own legal counsel,
a slight editing of the messages (restricted to long distance access codes,
phone numbers, and computer passwords) had to be made to ensure that there is
nothing illegal contained within the messages. Every effort was made to keep
the messages in their pristine condition: 40 columns, ALL CAPS, spelling
errors, offensive language, inaccuracies of various kinds, and ALL.
Although a fairly comprehensive collection of the goings-on during a decade
of public and private computer underground activity has been accomplished,
there are more messages out there. It is our wish to continue to document the
History of the Computer Underground. In order to do this, and in order to
break even on what resources have already been expended (it is a LOT more than
most people realize), a dollar value has been attached to the entire
compilation of message bases (ie, all Volumes combined). Without your
understanding and support, this effort may not be able to sustain itself long
enough to complete the project. A large portion of any profits will be
recycled for two other projects in the works, whose aim is to provide
additional historical background on the Computer Underground Community. That
is, no one involved is quitting their day job :-)
DONATIONS: A portion of every order will be donated to the following causes:
1) A donation will be made to help pay for Craig Neidorf's
(Knight Lightning - Metal Shop Private Co-Sysop) Legal Defense
bills (resulting from his successful campaign to protect First
Amendment rights for electronic publishing, i.e. the
PHRACK/E911 case).
2) The SotMESC Scholarship Fund. The SotMESC Scholarship is
awarded to students writing exceptional papers of 20 to 30
pages on a topic based on computer culture (ie, hacking
culture, virus writing culture, Internet culture, etc.) For
more details write: SotMESC PO BOX 573 Long Beach, MS 39560
or email: rejones@seabass.st.usm.edu
What Each "Message Base File" Contains:
---------------------------------------
- A two page general message explaining H/P BBS terminology and format.
- The BBS Pro-Phile: A historical background and description of the BBS
either written by the original system operator(s) or those who actually
called the BBS when it was in operation (it took months to track the
appropriate people down and get them to write these specifically for
this project; lesser known BBSes may not contain a Pro-Phile);
- Messages posted to the BBS (i.e. the Message Base);
- Downloaded Userlists if available; and
- Hacking tutorials a.k.a. "G-Philes" that were on-line if available.
It is anticipated that most people who are interested in the message bases
have never heard of a lot of the BBS names shown in the listing. If you have
seen one set of messages, you have NOT seen them ALL. Each system had a
unique personality, set of users, and each has something different to offer.
Formats the Message Base Files are Available in:
------------------------------------------------
Due to the large size of the Message Base Files, they will be compressed
using the format of your choice. Please note that Lodcom does NOT include the
compression/uncompression program (PKZIP, PAK, MAC Stuffit, etc.). ASCII
(uncompressed) files will be provided for $5.00 extra to cover additional
diskette (files that are uncompressed require more than double the number of
diskettes) and shipping costs. The files are available for:
- IBM (5.25 or 3.5 inch)
- APPLE MACINTOSH (3.5 inch)
- ATARI ST (MS-DOS Compatible 3.5 inch)
- AMIGA (3.5 inch)
- PAPER versions can be ordered but cost triple (due to increased costs
to ship, time to print, and messages being in 40 column format which
wastes lots of paper...save those trees!). Paper versions take twice
the time to deliver but are laser printed.
Orders are expected to arrive at the requesters' physical mail box in 3-5
weeks upon receipt of the order.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
----------------------------------
QUESTION: How many Volumes will Lodcom be releasing?
ANSWER: Three Volumes minimum, probably a fourth if additional material
is obtained. There are still a few contributors who have material
that hasn't been sent to us yet. The expected release of future
Volumes are:
Volume 1: 5700+ Messages, 20 H/P BBSes, COMPLETED.
Volume 2: 2100+ Messages, 25 H/P BBSes, COMPLETED.
Volume 3: 20-30 H/P BBSes, February 1994.
Volume 4: If there is one, March 1994.
All in all there is expected to be 12000+ Messages.
QUESTION: How long will these Message Base Files be available?
ANSWER: We cannot say for sure. This is an ongoing effort and your support
will allow us to continue until we are satisfied with having
recovered the last decent scraps of messages out there. Assuming
there is a demand for these messages, all H/P BBSes of WORTH (i.e.
NON-"codez" and NON-"warez" systems) are expected to be offered by
the first quarter of 1994. A Guesstimate of what will be offered is
60 to 90 Message Bases, half of which will be rather partial.
Orders are expected to be filled at least into the second quarter
of next year (1994) although this may change. Regardless, Lodcom
will send out notification well in advance of ceasing operations.
QUESTION: I received the first Volume and just recently the second Volume,
how come I haven't received ALL the volumes combined at one time?
ANSWER: Think of this as a Subscription of sorts. Order now and all
completed Volumes will be sent to you as they are finished. When
another Volume is finished it will be sent out automatically. If
it wasn't for all of those who have already ordered and showed
their support, we would not be able to offer ALL the Volumes for
what was paid for the first Volume. If you have already ordered
and change mailing addresses be sure to notify us so you can
receive the future volumes.
QUESTION: What if lodcom obtains more messages from a BBS or BBSes after
a Volume has been shipped to me, will I get those messages also?
ANSWER: Yes. Any additional messages to a H/P BBS that we obtain after
shipping that BBS file to you will be sent to you either via email
or via snail mail on another diskette. There has been additional
data recovered for Volume #1 which will be added soon. You will
receive a smaller file with the additions, and also a replacement
file that has the additions integrated into it.
QUESTION: I would really like to get a feel for what a few of the
boards were like before I order them. Can I get more info?
ANSWER: Yes. A Sample of actual messages is available by performing the
following, so long as you have TELNET access to the Internet:
Telnet to: phantom.com (or) 198.67.3.2
Type: mindvox [To enter the Mindvox system]
login as: guest [To look around]
At prompt: finger lodcom [To see our Sample Messages File]
OR access the Mindvox Gopher Server by using the O command while
on any Gopher Server and entering "Mindvox" as the host name. A
menu will appear, select the one referring to the LoD Message Base
Project. A separate menu will then appear with all the information
files that are available.
If you do not have TELNET access to the Internet and your host will NOT
"bounce" a 50K file, Lodcom will send you the Sample Messages File if you
specifically request it. The file has 31 fairly typical messages from Five
H/P BBSes that operated between 1983 and 1989. A second Sample messages file
is currently being put together.
QUESTION: "Can I help out? I have some old messages" (either on a C64,
Apple, IBM [best for us], or printout).
ANSWER: Contact us ASAP! We will work out an equitable agreement depending
on the quantity, quality, format, and "ancientness" of the
messages. Your contribution will not go unrecognized (see the
list of contributors later in this file). We are especially
interested in obtaining messages for The World of Cryton (414 area
code Circa 1984) and SecurityLand (sysop: Napoleon Bonaparte,
Circa 1982/83).
QUESTION: I would like another person's point of view on this project
before I decide to order. Where can I get more information?
ANSWER: See the following blurbs from people who have already ordered the
Message Base Files, the review of the project by 2600 Magazine, and
the excerpts from CuD #5.39. Note that the original CuD issue also
includes an interview and some BBS Pro-philes.
*** Blurbs and Excerpts: ***
----------------------------
Blurbs from some of those who have received the first Volume:
"I am stunned at the quality of this undertaking. It brought back that
feeling of involvement and interest." --P.P.
"I think of the release of the H/P Message Bases as an opening salvo in
the battle for the truth about fraud in the Telecom Industry." --J.J.
"Still sifting through Volume one. For now I've taken the approach of
putting all the files into one subdirectory and searching it for topics
of interest. Prime and Primos computers was my first topic of interest
and Volume I yielded quite a bit of odd and useful information." --K.B.
"...the professionalism of the Message Bases is of a superior quality.
Somehow they bring back that age of innocence. Boy do I miss those
times." --A.C.
"I've really enjoyed reading the files and can't wait for the new stuff.
Keep up the good work." --J.Q.
Excerpt from 2600 Magazine (The Hacker Quarterly) Autumn 1993 Issue,
review by Emmanuel Goldstein entitled NEVER ERASE THE PAST.
"...is this the sort of thing that people really care about? Undoubtedly,
many will shrug it off as useless, boring teenagers that have absolutely no
relevance to anything in the real world. The fact remains, however, that this
is history. This is *our* history, or at least, a small part of it. The boards
included in this project - Sherwood Forest I & II, Metal Shop Private, OSUNY,
Phoenix Project, and a host of others - are among the more interesting hacker
boards, with some classic dialogue and a gang of hacker stars-to-be. Nearly
all of these boards were raided at one time or another, which makes it all
even more fascinating."
"Had the LODCOM project not come along when it did, a great many of these
message bases probably would have been lost forever. Providing this service
to both the hacker community and those interested in it is a noble cause that
is well worth the price. If it succeeds, some valuable hacker data will be
preserved for future generations."

*** {The following excerpts are from CuD #5.39 File 1, CuD's Critique} ***
"...Lest there be any confusion, there remains only one LOD, most of its
original members are in periodic contact, they have long since become
adults, and there is no relationship between the original LOD and any
recent individuals or groups claiming the name.
But who really cares??
CuD, for one cares. The original LOD remains a cultural icon of the
1980s in computer culture, and--for better or worse--it was the most
influential and imitated group whose mystique continues into the
mid-90s. This alone is hardly sufficient reason to worry about a
label. The identity is important because the original members are
becoming involved in projects that reflects their activities of a
decade ago, and it becomes confusing when others scurry about trying
to associate with that identity. If questions of identity arise,
confusion over and doubts about the credibility of the projects arise.
One current LOD project has impressed us. The original LOD members are
compiling logs from a number of the premier "hacker underground BBSes"
of the 1980s. We have obtained excerpts from the project, and we are
impressed with the professionalism and comprehensiveness of the material.
Working collectively under the name "LOD Communications," former members have
scoured their archive for BBS logs from the mid-to-late 1980s. The logs
include BBSes such as OSUNY, Twilight Zone, Forgotten Realm, Black Ice
Private, Phoenix Project, Face to Face, Alliance, and Plover-NET, among
others. Many were the primary boards of the era, and others typify secondary
levels of the culture. Both singly and in the aggregate, the collection
provides an unprecedented view into a culture that most of us only read about
in "Cyberpunk" or "The Hacker Crackdown."
We like the material for several reasons. First, as researchers, we find even
the limited material we have seen to date as a rich source of data for anybody
who wants to understand the culture of the time. It is as if somebody had
walked though San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district with a video-cam during
the "Summer of Love" and then released the tapes years later. It's an
anthropologists dream, a sociologists data trove, and a historian's archival
orgasm. Even law enforcement and security personnel would find it helpful for
demystifying many of the misconceptions of "hackers." For others, it's
simply fun reading.
The logs are sufficiently entertaining and useful when each board is
read individually. However, the power of the collection comes in
reading them as chapters in a novel, as segments at different points
in time that combine to give the individual posters and the boards a
personality. We find ourselves wanting to know more about some of
these people: How did they resolve their problems? Who was the alleged
informant on a given board? Can we spot them from the posts? How did
that poster resolve his problems? What happened to these people later?
Many of the logs' posts are flattering, others are less so. To their credit,
the lodcom editors have left it all intact to let the readers see and judge
for themselves what occurred on the underground boards. The LOD collection
provides an authentic look into what went on, and reading them gave us a
feeling of deja vous all over again."

Hacking/Phreaking Tutorials a.k.a. "G-Philes":
----------------------------------------------
Along with the above H/P BBS Message Bases, LODCOM has collected many of
the old "philes" that were written and disseminated over the years. A list of
all of them would take up too much space here, however, we can tell you that
the majority are NOT files that were originally written for electronic
newsletters such as Phrack, PHUN, ATI, etc. (with the perhaps obvious
exception of the LOD/H Technical Journal). Those files/newsletters are
readily available from other sources. This hodgepodge includes files that
somehow fell out of widespread circulation. A Table of Contents of the
collection is included but the tutorials are all grouped together in four
large files of approximately 250K each.
NOTE: A collection of material is being compiled from the Hack/Phreak
BBS Message Bases and Files along with other sources that is an organized
conglomeration of all the writings of all the ex-members of the Legion of
Doom/Hackers group. It also includes private LOD/H Group sub-board message
bases that resided on the LOD BBS (1984), Catch-22 (1985), Phoenix Project
(1988), and Black Ice Private (1988) that were NOT included in those BBSes'
Message Bases. BBS Messages from before and after each member entered the
group along with any files they wrote will be organized, by member name,
into individual files. This is being done more for ourselves than anything
else as we are curious how much material was created over the years. Note
that this special collection of files will be sent to you around the same
time that Volume III is sent out and is free for ordering BOTH, the G-Phile
Collection mentioned above, and the Message Base Files.
