- BOOM Issue 10 - Part 3 - BOOM Introductions
-
- Welcome back to Boom. After taking more than one month off, we have
- finally decided to start up the presses once again. Since last May, many
- things have changed. Gut's Shroud of Deception was shut down. Then, Black
- Crow started up and shut down after less than a month. After Black Crow,
- Watson started Center of Darkness. This board was pretty good, but his
- parents ordered him to shut it down. Finally, Jimmy the Thief (handle:
- Zeek, more about him later) started a board called the Viper's Den. This
- pathetic piece of shit will hopefully be shut down by the State Police when
- they put him in prison for a few months (more about that later too.) Now,
- Gut and Yavo are thinking about putting up boards... oh well, Boom can
- probably survive without a local home board for a while.
- In addition, two of the more devoted readers of Boom, Sophere and
- Bladesinger have left for college. We hope they are able to get on the
- Boom mailing list wherever they are and continue to provide suggestions and
- comments as they did with issues 1-9.
- A lot has happened to the authors too. In late May of last year Shadows
- and Crimson Jihad almost killed themselves with Chlorine gas (it was an
- accident, really!) But that incident did allow us to write a very simple
- recipe for making one of the deadlier gases known to man, which will appear
- later in this issue. But most importantly, Crimson Jihad, Watson, Jimmy the
- thief, and Braindead were arrested for vandalism and larceny (the latter
- charge is completely undeserved, but they got charged with it anyway.) This
- may bring about the sale of Watson's computer and most probably the shutting
- down of Jimmy the thief's piece of shit board.
- A lot has happened in the real world too, but I figure most of you
- readers either already know about it or don't give a damn at all, so I won't
- spend too much time on that area. But there is one interesting thing. The
- Oklahoma City bombing... NOT done by an Arabian. This came to a surprise
- to me too, but it figures, in this time of uncertainty it is completely
- natural to have a country's own citizens fighting against it. But, this is
- also very bad. Our citizens are wealthier and more educated than most other
- countries. This makes their attacks all the more harmful. Other people
- realize how bad this is too. This even affected Erik Bloodaxe, editor of
- Phrack, one of the most respected hackers of our time. Just in case you
- didn't catch it here is what he said in Phrack 47:
-
- "The last controversy surrounding this issue came at the last possible
- second. In the several years that I've been publishing Phrack, we've
- received all kinds of files, but remarkably, I've never really received any
- "anarchy" files. However, in the last several months I've been inundated
- with files about making bombs. There were so many coming in, that I really
- couldn't ignore them. Some of them were pretty damn good too. So I
- figured, I'll put several of them together and put in ONE anarchy file as a
- kind of tongue-in-cheek look at the kind of stupidity we have floating
- around in the underground.
-
- Then the bomb went off in Oklahoma City.
-
- Then Unabomb struck again.
-
- Then the politicos of the world started spouting off about giving the
- federal law enforcement types carte blanche to surveil and detain people who
- do things that they don't like, especially with regards to terrorist like
- activities.
-
- Normally, I don't really give a damn about possible repercussions of my
- writing, but given the political climate of the day, I decided that it would
- really be stupid for me to print these files. I mean, one was REAL good,
- and obviously written by someone who learned "British" English in a non
- English-speaking country. I mentioned my concerns to an individual who
- works with the FBI's counter-terrorism group, and was told that printing the
- file would probably be the stupidest thing I could possibly do in my entire
- life...PERIOD.
-
- So the file is nixed. I really feel like I'm betraying myself and my
- readership, for giving into the underlying political climate of the day, and
- falling prey to a kind of prior-restraint, but I really don't need the
- grief. I'm on enough lists as it is, so I really don't need to be the focus
- of some multi-jurisdictional task-force on terrorism because I published a
- file on how to make a pipe bomb over the Internet. (Hell, I'm now even on
- the Customs Department's list of ne'er-do-wells since someone from Europe
- thought it would be funny to send me some kind of bestiality magazine which
- was seized. Thanks a lot, asshole, whoever you are.) Obviously, the media
- think the net is some kind of hotbed for bomb-making info, so I'm usually
- the first to satisfy their most warped yellow-journalistic fantasies, but
- not this time.
-
- I really hate what I see coming because of the mess in Oklahoma. If the
- American government does what I suspect, we will be seeing a major
- conservative backlash, a resurgence of Hoover-esque power in the FBI,
- constitutional amendments to limit free speech, and a bad time for everyone,
- especially known-dissenters and suspicious folk like yours truly. Be very
- afraid. I am."
-
- Phrack giving in to the authorities... my what a different world we live
- in than just a few years ago when Erik would have most probably have just
- said "fuck it" and published the anarchy shit anyway. Well, I guess
- everyone will just have to get a new favorite h/p/a mag. Oh, and thanks for
- the "kind of stupidity we have floating around in the underground" crack.
- Let me think... you clear your articles through the F.B.I. That clearly
- makes you part of the underground. Right Erik?
-
- Boom Issue 10 - Part 4 - BOOM!
-
- C-4:
-
- Materials:
- heat source
- battery hydrometer
- large Pyrex or steel enameled container
- potassium chloride
-
- Instructions:
- Take one gallon of bleach and place it in the container and begin heating
- it. While this solution heats, weigh out 63 grams potassium chloride, add
- this to the heated bleach. Bring this solution to a boil and boil until
- white fumes appear. When checked with a hydrometer the reading is 1.3, (if
- battery hydrometer is used, it should read FULL charge.) When the reading is
- 1.3 take the solution and let it cool in the refrigerator until it is
- between room temperature and 0 degrees Celsius. Take out the crystals that
- have formed and save them. Boil this solution again and cool as before.
- Filter and save the crystals. Take these crystals that have been saved and
- mix them with distilled water in the following proportions: 56 grams per 100
- milliliters distilled water. Heat this solution until it boils and allow to
- cool. Filter the solution and save the crystals the form upon cooling. The
- crystals should be relatively pure potassium chlorate. Powder these to the
- consistency of face powder and heat gently to drive off all moisture. Melt
- five parts Vaseline and five parts wax. Dissolve this in white gasoline,
- (camp stove gasoline), and pour this liquid on 90 parts potassium chlorate,
- (the powdered crystals from above), in a plastic bowl. Knead this liquid
- into the potassium chlorate until completely mixed. Allow all the gasoline
- to evaporate. Place this explosive in a cool dry place. Avoid friction,
- sulfur, and phosphorus compounds.
-
- AND I MEAN AAVVOOIIDD SULFUR
-
-
- Tennis Ball Bomb:
-
- Materials:
- A Tennis Ball
- A Knife
- Several boxes of wooden matches (not safety matches)
- Hockey Tape
- Gunpowder
- A Sparkler
- Flint
-
- Directions:
- 1) Cut a small round hole in the ball with the knife 2) Take the flint
- (the kind used for flip-top lighters) and crush it into a powder 3) Separate
- the wire handle from the sparkler and grind it up 4) Mix the flint and
- sparkler powder together with gunpowder 5) Pour the mixture into the tennis
- ball 6) Cut off the match-heads and pack the ball with them until you can't
- fit anymore into it. 7) Use the tape to cover the hole completely 8) The
- grenade will explode on contact with any solid surface, producing large
- amounts of flame and flaming projectiles. 9) [optional] For a delayed blast
- grenade, insert a dry fuse into the hole before you tape it up.
-
- These babies are easy to make, light weight, concealable and do plenty
- of damage for their size....in general, a kick-ass weapon. You can make
- dozens of them for hours of enjoyment.
-
- Chlorine Gas:
- Materials:
- Works(TM) Toilet Bowl Cleaner
- Chlorine Bleach
-
- Directions:
- You ever noticed how Works says "Do NOT mix with chlorine bleach"? Well,
- to make chlorine gas you simply do that... mix the chlorine bleach and
- Works. We're not exactly sure of the ideal ratio, we never did much testing
- after it almost killed us. Be careful with this shit, in ideal (or, wait,
- that wouldn't be ideal would it?) conditions two good breaths will kill you
- (or anyone else).
-
- Boom Issue 10 - Part 5 - BOOM Red Boxes
-
- Ah, red boxing, the art of getting free payphone calls by tricking the
- machine into thinking you inserted money (while you actually just played a
- tone). Most people, especially those dumbasses like Norm, completely ignore
- this box as bullshit, like most everything you read in the h/p/a world (i.e.
- the infamous Blotto box). Many of the others, who would like to try red
- boxing, are discouraged by the illusion that it is hard (and the lack of
- clear instructions, oh and the lack of balls). But, as we will show you...
- it's easy, it's effective, and pisses the TelCo company off real good.
- Boom has learned from many other sources (you see, we have no first hand
- experience how to do this [we've never done it ourselves {you see, we don't
- have payphones here officer}]). "Red box? My shoes came in an orange box.
- I have no idea of what you speak. I am colorblind... I wouldn't know a red
- box from a blue box officer. I don't use payphones, they cost too much.
- Besides, I've never really figured out which end the quarter goes in, and I
- don't know Morse code, so it wouldn't be of much use anyway."
- OK enough bullshit.. lets go through Boom's step by step red boxing
- tutorial. What is red boxing? Well red boxing is simply taking a li'l box,
- walking up to a pay phone, and playing pre-recorded (or generated) tones.
- These tones, which are the same ones the pay phone makes when a quarter is
- inserted, are accepted by the pay phone as quarters. Simple huh? In fact,
- to no be able to do it you have to live in New York and be named Garry (read
- on).
- Here is the 5 step process in red boxing:
-
- 1. Go to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. and purchase a digital recordable memo
- recorder. This should run you about $20. If you are unable to swing that,
- a Hallmark recordable greeting card will also work, these are about $5.
-
- 2. Record the tones. Go to a pay phone with an extra loud speaker (or use
- Blue Beep), and record the tones as you drop quarters in (of course, press
- the coin return lever so you get these back.)
-
- 3. Dial the operator. Say "fuck you." Or wait, don't do that quite yet
- (save it for when they figure out what you're doing.) Ask for information,
- and remember to say "please." Give information the number that you wish to
- call. Wait for the pre-recorded message saying "please deposit x cents to
- be connected to the number."
-
- 4. After the message has been played, hold the speaker of your red box up
- to the microphone of the phone and play your tones. Do not hold the speaker
- to close to the microphone as this sometimes causes distortion and will
- cause you to be routed to the operator. If this happens, you can then say
- fuck you.
-
- 5. Talk to the person you are calling.
-
- I hope you enjoy this free calling card. If you can't do it, then you
- don't deserve the free calling.
-
- Boom issue 10 - Part 6 - BOOM Arrested?
-
- What happens when your rip off a pop machine? Give up? A loser that you
- took along with you narcs on everybody and leaves key evidence behind, or at
- least that's the way it went with me. Crimson Jihad and I [Watson] decided
- to try to rip off a pop machine with the 'salting` technique. Crimson had
- read about it in the paper a while back, and we wanted to try it for
- ourselves. Some friends of ours were in town (people from a local BBS we
- hadn't met before) so we took them along. The one 20 year old, who we will
- refer to as dumbass informed Crimson and I that he had successfully done it
- before so we decided to put him in charge and watch. When we arrived at the
- pop machine (Notice I'm not saying Soda Machine because I'm not a freak from
- Michigan' Upper Peninsula, or the dumb ass cop who I had to make a statement
- to.) we tried to just pour the salt water (or salt solution as the cops so
- brilliantly put it) into the machine but going straight from the mouth of
- the 20 oz container we were using, into the coin slot appeared to work like
- shit. Dumbass had the idea to funnel the salt water into the machine. Ok
- good idea, but who's got a funnel ? Crimson has a funnel, ok so it's a
- glossy CPR card that he folded into a funnel. Dumbass stuck it into the
- coin slot and poured the salt water in. Wow... after about 30 mins believe
- it or not.... NOTHING happened... [wow big surprise] We decided to give up
- after receiving 35 million new mosquito bites. After taking Dumbass and his
- friend back to the place we met them we (Crimson and I) drove around and
- went home) [No he went home and I went home, not the same house don't be a
- pervert] The next day, while I was enjoying the day watching a movie with a
- female friend of mine <it's Brea, does that really count?>, in a good mood,
- Shadows pops over to ruin everything (thanks Shadows I still appreciate
- that). Shadows informed me that Crimson had just got nabbed by the cops.
- So I finished the day in paranoia waiting for the cops to come. Well my
- friendly cops decide to pop over three fucking days later. [Thank you
- lovely pigs] Apparently [I learned at the police station] Crimson's CPR card
- (with his name, address etc on it...) was left curled in the pop machine.
- The cops that had visited him the day before learned everything their was to
- know from Crimson... including my name, and the fact that I was the driver.
- Well to get right down to the point and stop wasting your time. I was
- charged with felony malicious destruction of private property, and a felony
- account of larceny. (G fun) Crimson just received malicious destruction of
- property. Gosh our cops must be really smart, ok the destruction part I can
- understand cause I guess we fucked up the machine good, but where does the
- larceny come from? We weren't even successful in ripping it off. Oh well
- live and learn. I now await my court date to see just how much I owe...
- although I'm not scared.. I'm still a minor and two felonies at age 16 is
- no reason for going ballistic. [at least my opinion]. However I guess
- dumbass was already on probation, and like I said he is 20... so I don't
- think he will be getting off as lucky. The reason why I call him dumbass is
- simply because he left the card behind. I don't know him well enough to
- form a real opinion of him. I will leave you with these words: "If you
- think your never gonna get caught your wrong, you will get caught
- eventually, if you want to let that stop you from doing bad, it might not be
- a bad thing, if your a true anarchist at heart your still gonna cause chaos,
- you are the only one that can make that choice, but always keep in mind the
- consequences, and MOST important of all..... Drink, Drive, Live, Fuck, and
- Smoke Pot" -Watson's Words of Wisdom
-
- Boom issue 10 - Part 7 - BOOM Gets Pissed
-
- There's really only one person to annoy this issue and that's (obviously)
- Jimmy the Thief. His handle is Zeek, he's 20, and he lives with his
- parents. He used to run a pathetic board called Viper's Den (although at
- one time the message menu ANSI said "Niper's Den"). He blew up a driver's
- ed car a few years ago and got busted for it. Then, within the last year,
- he stole computers from a local computer store where he worked and tried to
- sell them to the other local computer store. The owner of the computer
- store that he tried to sell the computers to told the police, but they never
- got enough evidence to arrest him. Hopefully he'll get what he diserves
- from the pop machine incident. Only a moron would leave such blatant
- evidence at the scene of a crime.
-
- Boom issue 10 - Part 8 - BOOM In The Woods
-
- ON a recent nature hike (wait, no, that's not it... let's call it an
- animal hunt, in city limits of course) Watson and Shadows discovered a shack
- in the middle of of the woods on top of a big hill. At first, Watson
- thought it would be a good place to throw a party, but the pot screwed with
- his depth perception and it actually turned out to be 5' by 5'. The shack
- was equipped with more power than both our blocks and had a 50 - 100' ham
- antenna on top of it. One can only that ham equipment lays inside, but
- Watson and Shadows have not had the time to confirm this belief, hopefully
- we'll give a full report next issue. What we can't figure out is what the
- hell it's doing up there and who the hell uses it. It says on the outside
- that it is property of the United States Government, more specifically the
- U.S. Department of Agriculture. It also offers a whooping $25-$50 reward
- for information leading to a conviction of anyone who breaks inside it.
- Anyone have any clue what it's use is? If you do, please write us.
-
- Boom issue 10 - Part 9 - BOOM Reads The News
-
- Headline: EPA seizes radioactive material from teen
- Date: July 1, 1995
-
- DETROIT - Chemical charts rather than posters of rock stars or sports
- heroes adorned the walls of the teen's hideaway. Officials say the
- 18-year-old scientist was gathering radioactive materials in a back yard
- shed used as his makeshift laboratory.
- This week, workers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency wearing
- protective gear came to remove the shed in a quiet residential area in Union
- Lake, 27 miles from Detroit.
- "He was trying to isolate all the elements on the periodic table," said
- Jack Barnette, an EPA radiation expert.
- The teen, who the EPA refused to name, found slightly radioactive
- materials from common household items that were burned and crushed until
- concentrated.
- He also had some radium.
- "It's not clear where he got that from," Barnette said.
-
- This kid rules. If anyone knows him, please ask him if he would like to
- write for Boom. Chemical geniuses are cool.
-
- Headline: Engler unveils plan For Michigan information network
- Date: July 1, 1995
-
- LANSING - Get ready to cruise the Web, Michigan!
- Gov. John Engler unveiled his plan Friday to create the Michigan
- Information Network and said his goal is to lure everyone in the state onto
- the Internet.
- "This plan - when fully implemented - will help the state of Michigan and
- our schools travel and explore the information superhighways of the 21st
- Century," the governor said.
- Engler acknowledged that he has not delved into the Internet, but plans
- to start now that his office has a World Wide Web page. That also was
- unveiled Friday.
- "We will get him cruising the Web very quickly," said a smiling Rick
- Inatome, the chairman of the Inacom Corp. Inatome will serve as the
- chairman of the MIN advisory board.
- Engler said the information network will link each public school,
- community college, state university, independent nonprofit college, and
- library. And that network will grow to include information from state
- agencies and departments.
- Some of that is available now, but much more will be added this fall as
- network links are made to the state's new integrated computer system, said
- John Kost, the state's chief information author and main creator of the MIN
- plan.
- Engler first called for the creation of the MIN in his 1993 State of the
- State address. The Legislature, as part of the Proposal A package in 1993,
- required the Department of Management and Budget to prepare a MIN plan by
- Friday.
- The governor said it is designed to be a world-class, interactive video
- and data access and exchange system. He said it is a must for Michigan's
- students, businesses, and citizens.
- "Technology is changing so fast, we can barely keep up with what's on the
- information superhighway," he said. "But while the information age is
- speeding toward us, many of Michigan's schools, libraries, hospitals, and
- businesses don't appear to see it coming.
- "And that - ultimately - will make Michigan less competitive. Make no
- mistake, telecommunications technology has the power to bring us information
- and resources from around the world instantaneously and cost effectively."
- The governor also signed an executive order to create the Office of the
- Michigan Information Network. That will consolidate different offices and
- functions in state government and carry out the recommendations of the MIN
- plan.
- Inatome said 40 percent of Michigan homes already had a home computer and
- said the world's growing computer network had a staggering potential.
- "We're talking about a complete re-invention, not just of the way we
- learn, but the way our economy moves, the way our politics relate, the way
- we heal people," he said.
- To get to Michigan's home page on the World Wide Web use this:
- http://www.migov.state.mi.us.
-
- Recently I read an editorial about this kind of shit. People who don't use,
- or even know how to use, the Internet wanting all these people who know even
- less to get Internet access. I'm sorry, the internet was not mentioned in
- the Bill of Rights. Everyone does NOT need to have it, in fact, everyone
- should not have it! I personally liked the system we had back in the late
- 80s, or even two years ago, where the Internet was shrouded in mystery; if
- you could get on, you could do anything you wanted to. The ftps were never
- crowded, telnet rarely refused your connections, and the chat was meaningful
- and interesting. Even look at America On-line. This winter, if you wanted
- to trade warez you went to private room "warez." The room was never full and
- only hit 20 users on good days. Most people at least recognized everyone
- else's handles, and it wasn't too uncommon to develop friendships. Now,
- "warez" is almost always full and on bust days one will usually have to
- settle for "warez 5." That's over 100 damned people! Modems should require
- some kind of licensing, like HAM radios.
-
- Boom issue 10 - Part 10 - BOOM Talks To Watson
-
- Ya know what bugs me, well lots of stuff, but you know what bugs me to the
- point that I'm going to write about it? Teachers! [Yes teachers in
- general, but more so teachers that have never done anything wrong in their
- life and follow the school hand book like the bible.] Well I guess they
- can't follow it because it doesn't really move except for the earths orbit
- but I guess they are (or should) be moving along with it in that case. I
- had a run in with one such teacher the other day during my joyful day at
- summer school. His name is Mr. Gofucksomeone... (Well that's his loving
- student donated nick name) his real name being Mr. Gullekson or something
- close to that. After seeing that I had slept through half of class and
- talked through a third of the remaining he called me out in the hall. The
- conversation that went on is that of the following [Almost quoting, any
- deviation is do to my failing memory]
-
- MR. G "Chris, are you high on anything today?"
- WATSON (aka Chris) "..................no?" at which point I was shocked and
- appalled to think he could even mention something like that... me Watson!
- stoned!? G's what nerve!
- MR. G "Chris how long have we been in here now"
- WATSON "You mean like .........today?"
- MR. G "No all together since the beginning of summer school"
- WATSON ".....Oh.......uh.... I dunno...... what's today?"
- MR. G "Today is Wednesday"
- WATSON "...oh.......uh... what day did school start?"
- MR. G "Chris you rely on to many people to help you, why don't you think
- for yourself"
-
- By this time I was wanting to say fuck you buddy and be done with it but I
- decided to continue appearing to be fucked in the head and replied with
-
- WATSON "Uhh... I think it's Monday .............right?"
- MR. G "[NOD]"
- WATSON "Ok... so that's.............. uuh......... 2.. no 3 days?!?!"
- MR. G "[Odd look]
- WATSON "And we are here how many hours a day?"
- MR. G "How many hours do YOU think?"
-
- Wanting to reply with "Too many", I said
-
- WATSON "Uhh I dunno what time do we get here?"
- MR. G "8:00"
- WATSON "What time do we go home?"
- MR. G "11:00"
- WATSON "Oh ok...... so that's like.................................
- .............[Very long pause wait for Mr. G to almost interrupt and then
- say]... I dunno whatever 3 x 3 is..."
- MR G. ".. [I interrupt]"
- WATSON "6! no uh.. 9!"
- MR. G "Chris I think we should take a trip down to the office."
- WATSON "Uhh... I don't think WE need to..."
-
- [WATSON goes back to class and is remarkably left alone for the rest of the
- day Well the point of this story is that Mr. G and any teacher is a prick,
- Pot is good, talking like a stoned moron is always a good thing, and most
- importantly I would make a lot more sence if I would stay on my
- medication... [Sorry this article is lacking Watsonism I will try to be
- more fucked for the next article.... ttyl... :)

- Boom issue 10 - Part 11 - BOOM Gets Mail
-
- Dear guys at Boom:
- Quick, does anybody have sixty bucks? I desperately want to become a
- super hacker like you guys at Boom (right now I'm just a normal hacker).
- But, to become a super hacker, I need to get listed in the phonebook. This
- will allow me to use the internet, but the bastards at Ameritech act like
- they don't know what I'm talking about. They will, however, set me up "real
- good" for 60 bucks. I also need $4,000 for mouse... right now I've only got
- 5 megz, I was told by my hacker friendz that I need at least 8 meggerz of
- mousie support to slip into the ppp slot at my library. The librarian at
- our library denied this and said that we don't have ppp slots here, but I
- think this is just a conspiracy between the library and Ameritech to keep me
- from fulfilling my potential and taking over the world. Furthermore, I
- believe Japan is behind it two, because they know I drive a Ford. I also
- hacked my local 911 system. Here is how you do it. Get into Windows(TM)
- terminal, then type the following just like it is shown: ATDT911 That's all
- their is to it! You just hacked 911! Am I a good enough super hacker to
- join Boom?

- -Your friend, Garry in NY

-
- Dear Garry in NY, We thank you for your interest in the mag and your
- enthusiasm about hacking. We wish that everyone had your enthusiasm (of
- course, it would be nice if they had brains too, which you seem to lack).
- However, at this time we are not accepting applications from losers such as,
- well, yourself. That 911 trick is probably pretty cool, but we haven't had
- time to test it yet. We'll put it on our list of things to do right under
- blue boxing and sniffing our neighbor's dogs ass. Again, thanks for the
- letter. We hope to hear from you soon (of course, whether or not our
- readers do is undetermined.)

- Boom issue 10 - Part 13 - BOOM Conclusion
-
- Well, he hope you enjoyed Boom 10, the issue that took 14 months to write
- (well, actually we only spent 1/2 of a month writing it, but 14 months
- sounds cooler.) Look for Boom 11 soon... it should have some more
- explosives, an updated look at Watson and Crimson Jihad's court battle, and
- whatever else we feel like putting in. If you have anything at all
- interesting to say, please write to us at NEWS@MATCH.ORG. We would love
- to have a letters column in issue 11, but that will require letters (gee,
- it's funny how that works). We hope you agree with us that Boom 10 was the
- biggest and best issue yet... Until next issue 11, take care, don't fry
- your brain too much, and stay away from any and all pork products.
