In his forthcoming book, "Masters of Deception: Gang Wars in Cyberspace, "writer Joshua Quittner chronicles the bizarre but true tale of a Harfiled-and-McCoys feud in the nether world of computer hackers. Now the hackers have extracted revenge for Quittner's attention, taking control of his phone line and voice mail and bombarding his online account with thousands of messages. To wreak their hacker havoc, they broke into computer systems run by Sprint Corp., International Business Machines Corp., and Pipeline, which provides Internet access to consumers. Billing themselves as the Internet Liberation Front, the pranksters have warned corporate America to get out of cyberspace, declaring war "on any company suspected of contributing to the demise of the Internet." The antics and break-ins underscore the security risks as companies seek a presence on the Internet, and point up how difficult it is to stop hackers from going where they please. "I don't believe I've ever been hacked to this degree," said Quittner, whose book, written with his wife, Michelle Slatalla, was excerpted in the latest issue of Wired magazine, apparently prompting the attack. The article and book tell of the Long Island hacker gang Masters of Deception and its "war" with a rival break-in group, the Legion of Doom. "People in MOD and LOD are very unhappy about the story," Quittner says. "This is what I believe prompted this whole thing." During the Thanksgiving weekend, the offended computer prowlers took command of Quittner's phone line and forwarded it to an out-of-state answering machine, substituting his greeting with a profane message of their own. One former MOD member was able to patch through a call to someone claiming to be a member of the Internet Liberation Front. He, in turn, played the messages left by Quittner's friends and family on the bogus answering machine they had set up. The messages included a call from Quittner's mother asking about her grandchildren and noting, "I think you ought to check your answering message." Another came from Quittner himself, after he realized he'd been had: "Very funny, guys." The group also zapped tens of thousands of messages to his E-Mail account, as well as about 1,000 messages to the mailbox of Wired magazine. The messages came from computers owned by IBM, Sprint, and Pipeline. Hackers had broken in and installed a script to fire off the Internet Liberation Front message to Quittner every five seconds. The "mail bombs" were "probably closely related to the Quittner article," said Ian McFarland, a Wired engineer. Sprint had to shut down several computers for about four hours, a company spokesperson said. "I don't know if it's an organized group," he said of the Internet Liberation Front. "We never heard of them before." The Masters of Deception was a notorious gang of clever New York teens whose on-line pranks landed four of them in jail. In Quittner's book, he sympathetically tells the story of young hackers who, in their quest for knowledge, go too far. "A number of them got sent to jail when they should have been sent to college," he said. In 1992, MOD was charged with tampering or stealing passwords to gain services from computers at the former Southwestern Bell Corp., now SBC Communications; British Telecommunications PLC's North American subsidiary, BT North America; TRW Inc., and NYNEX Corp., among others. The Wall Street Journal, New York GD: Internet Liberation Front.. now why can't we see more of that shit? Finally some dudes who know what they're doing. ├───∙· "Every time we try to impose order, we create chaos.." ·∙───┤ ┌─≡─ ─ ∙∙· · · ·∙∙ ─ ──│┐ · ·∙─│┐ The Intel Pentium Controversy └│─∙· · └│── ─ ∙∙· · · ·∙∙ ─\───┘ Last summer, Intel discovered a flaw in their new Pentium processor which caused errors in some floating-point calculations. Since the chances of an error were slim, with a 1 in 5 million chance of an error occurring, the famed microprocessor chip corporation decided to wait to fix the error until the fall of 1994. All they had to do was add one instruction. Intel recently took responsibility for the error and has announced a free replacement Pentium chip for all customers. The total number of Pentium processor owners worldwide tops 2 million, putting quite a burden and an expense on Intel. The biggest concern is for scientists in the fields of research and development who rely heavily on ultimate accuracy and speed in their computers. Normal games and word processor programs could not be affected in a large way by the Floating-point Division (FDIV) bug. Instead, government agencies, businesses, and laboratories are more prone to disaster due to their direct reliance on exact calculations. The fact that the Pentium processor is supposed to be the fastest and most advanced microprocessor for Personal Computers causes those who need the speed and power to rush out, pick up a Pentium system, and expect it to be inperfect condition. No one would think it would be necessary to check their calculations elsewhere. Intel has created a disaster for themselves, and in the future, who will make the chips for the PC's? For many years, there has seemed to be a monopoly of sorts in the PC world. You get an IBM or compatible system, and what often comes with it? Microsoft software and Intel processors. Due to this incident alone, the PC world may have lost their faith in the Intel products. Below is a C++ source code for a program to check a pentium chip to see if it has the FDIV bug. It has been distributed since the bug was announced, and its author is unknown. --CUT-- #include <iostream.h> #include <math.h> #include <iomanip.h> void main() { double x,y,z; x = 4195835.0; y = 3145727.0; /* Divide x by y The correct answer is 1.333 820 449 136 241.

But seeing how you wouldn't need this text file if you had the REAL manual I guess I'll have to give them to you! In order to do this right the first time your gonna have to know a few things about how the manual is setup. In order to beat the copy protection you have to click on FOUR monsters upon the initial startup of Pathways. There are more than FOUR monsters displayed, but you ONLY have to click on FOUR. Alright in the REAL manual there are sets of FOUR monsters on the right and left sides of each page starting from page #1 and finally ending on page #19. Below are a bunch of descriptions I made up for you to identify each monster, a key that I made up so you will know which monster is which, and a listing of all the monsters IN ORDER on each page of the original manual. Descriptions -- Headless - No head, only a large tongue sticking out surrounded by teeth. Ooze - The faceless dude with an open stomach that looks like a mouth. Nightmare - That fishy looking thing with wiskers and beady eyes. Ghoul - The hunchback guy that's wearing a loincloth. Zombie - The skeleton dood that looks egyptian.

Talks have circulated of updating the existing phone switching system to accomodate new customers as well as old customers. The current system has some interesting limitations "designed" into it. For example, all area codes must have a middle digit of 0 or 1. This limits the maximum area codes to 162. In a sense it is good, because it prevents the phone companies from ripping us off. Though, in a recent issue of 2600 magazine, some new area codes have been created which donot use the conventional system. Their middle digits can be any number, so it looks as though changes have begun in some areas. The actual phone number itself is limited to 7 digits, which allows for 1,000,000 possibilities per area code. This is only true if the number 000-0000 is to be used, though. The new system would probably increase the number of digits in a phone number to 8. How would this change occur though? After midnight, your newphone number will be xxx-xxxxx? Or, as they notate it in France, xx-xx-xx-xx? One thing is for sure, it will cost a lot to make the new system user-friendly. For example, if you dial a wrong number nowadays, a cyber-bitch will inform you that "That number is not in service," or maybe "The number you have reached, ...has been changed. The new number is..." Will that be set up forthe entire new system? Imagine the kind of money it will take for these kinds of changes. The fact that everyone will have a new phone number will totally cut off communications for an extended period of time. Automated phone services will have to be reprogrammed. Computer software may become outdated or useless. It's an overlooked detail as to how much we rely on the phone system to stay the same as it is. Now, think of the easy way out. Higher rates, less customers, no need to change the existing system. With the increased interest in modem communications, fax services, answering machines, and multi-line businesses, it is expected that the demand for a phone line will continue to increase, and in many cases, the demand will have nothing to do with the cost of service. On the other hand, if the government prevents the rates and fees from going out of hand, the phone system will need to be changed, but how will it be funded if the prices can't be raised? There's jobs to protect, too. It seems likely that as time goes on, the existing phone system in the USA will slowly meet its downfall. Perhaps an independent group of investors will attempt to create their own system, with some kind of access to the existing lines. Who knows what the future will bring?

Well, I got probably about 9000 numbers through it, when suddenly all the tones quit appearing... And I was rather surprised since the tones normally pick up in the high ranges. I tried to call a known working number, and was suddenly greeted by a wonderful intercept message stating that "1-800-555- 1212" was not available from my calling area... Since "1-800-555-1212" (last time I checked) was the number for information I began to wonder what was going on. I called my local phone company, they sent me to AT&T, they said call local repair. Local repair told me to call AT&T repair. I called them, and they said that the number I was trying to dial was not available (I gave them a "1-800-222" number instead of information.) The kind operator then told me to call her direct over an "800" number, I hung up dialed it, and got the intercept message. I guess this just goes to show that if you fuck with AT&T they'll be real dicks and cut your calls to FREE numbers that you can call from anywhere. Even though they never say that you CAN'T call all the "800" numbers you want, when it gets down to it, they get pissed and yank your access... (Hmm... Is that unconstitutional?) Dunno... Oh well... But until I get full access back and an explanation of why I am not able to call "800" numbers I'm switching to MCI. (THREE DAYS LATER) AT&T said they will give me my 800 numbers back after an all day run around. Said there computer figured something weird was going on when my line dialed over 79 "1-800" numbers between 3:30 and 5:00 in the morning. (Hmm... Now I need a new war dialer that slows down in the early morning.) LATE UPDATE: Here is a copy of the letter sent to me and received on June 21, 1994: <Begin Letter> AT&T Logo June 17, 1994 <Name Withheld> 46 N. Somewhere Ave. Somewhere, FU 49666 (212) 781-6012 Dear <Name Withheld>, AT&T has reason to believe that the telephone list to you has been used in violation of Federal Communications Commission - AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 2 Sections 2.2.3 and 2.2.4.C. These tariff sections prohibit using WATS to harass another, using WATS to interfere with the use of the service by others and using WATS with the intent of gaining access to a WATS Customer's outbound calling capabilities on an unauthorized basis. Accordingly, AT&T has temporarily restricted your telephone service's ability to place AT&T 800 Service calls in accordance to Section 2.8.2 of the above tariff. If the abusive calling reoccurs after AT&T lifts the temporary restriction, the restriction will be reimposed until AT&T is satisfied that you have undertaken steps to secure your number against future tariff violations. You should also note that unauthorized possession or use of access codes can constitute a violation of United States Criminal Code - Title 18, Section 1029, which carries a penalty of up to $10,000 fine and up to 10 years imprisonment for first time offenders. Any future activity from telephones listed to you may be referred to federal law enforcement officials. If you wish to discuss this restriction, you may do so in writing to AT&T Corporate Security, Dept. 19, P.O. Box 6735, Bridgewater, N.J. 08807-9998, or you may call 908-725-6973. *(What? No "1-800" number?)* <Official hand signed signature of K.

See the end of this file... Remember they said specifically: FROM YOUR LINES... <Evil Grin> The moral of this stupid fucking story: AT&T gets very angry when you war dial 9000 "1-800" numbers... So be sure to do it from a friends house... And BTW: I never used a code... Not an AT&T one... An out dial a few times... But not AT&T...

Stuff you'll need: One glass jar. One bag of pellet feed (usually green in color, used to feed pet rodents). Two tubes of modeling cement. Last but not least you'll need some gasoline. Manufacturing the bomb: Powder up enough of the pet food to fill the glass jar halfway. Empty the two tubes of model cement into the jar and mix thoroughly. Now fill the rest of the jar with gasoline. Put the cap on the jar and shake. Put a fuse through the top of the jar. Light the fuse. THEN RUN LIKE HELL!! DIVE TO THE GROUND!! This bomb will KILL you if you are not out of range of the blast. (The range of the blast depends solely on how big the bomb is. 50 feet and some cover should suffice as a safe distance for most bombs). A note from Grendel on fuses: Go to your local gun show and buy REAL fuse. Most gun shows around the country sell fuse that are safe and fail proof. In fact they may even sell different grades of fuse, some may burn quicker than others. Another note these very same gun shows will sell gunpowder to just about anyone. You may also find electric fuses and starters, they tend to be army surplus and sell for about $50.00 and up. Of course gun shows are a great place to buy rifles and shotguns. Also are the wide selections of knives, swords, rapiers, machetes and various other cutlery. In fact 60 minutes (Or was it 48 hours?) just had a feature about gun shows around the country and how gun dealers sell to just about anyone. They showed some guy buying handguns and assault rifles without a license. :) DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility on any damage or injuries the above information may cause. If some dumbshit kills 30 people with the bomb I outlined above then he's more fucked up than me and should get the death penalty. If some deranged fool blows up part of a school or takes out his enemy's house with this bomb isn't because of me. If some pissed off dude kidnaps his ex-girlfriend, ties her up, puts the bomb between her skank legs, lights the fuse, and watches from a safe distance as the explosion blows her to pieces; its not my fault that he's fucked up or that she's a slut that cheated on him then left him broken hearted.

This type fuel adheres more readily to the target and produces a greater heat concentration. Several methods are shown below for transfering ordinary gasoline into a gelled fuel using commonly available materials. The methods are divided into the following categories based on the major ingredient: Lye Systems -- Lye (also known as caustic soda or Sodium Hydroxide) can be used in combination with powdered rosin or castor oil to gel gasoline for use as a flame fuel which will adhere to target surfaces. This fuel isn't suitable for use in the chemical (Sulphuric Acid) type of fire bottle. The acid will react with the lye and break down the gel. Lye-Alcohol Systems -- Lye can be used in combination with alcohol (Ethyl alcohol would be the best choice, but Methyl (wood) alcohol or Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol can be used as substitutes; this produces softer gels though.) and any of the several fats listed below to gel gasoline for use as a flame fuel. Once again don't try using this fuel with the chemical fire bottle. A reaction will occur causing the gel to break down. The following can be used as fats to gel the gasoline: (a) Castor oil (good) (b) Any vegetable oil (corn, cottonseed, peanut, linseed, etc.) (c) Any fish oil (d) Butter or margarine It's necessary when using (b) to (d) to double the amount of fat and lye for satisfactory bodying. WARNING: Do NOT use an aluminum container when making the 2 gelled fuels listed above! If you do decide to disobey my instructions, have phun wiping an acid like substance off of your burnt face. Uhh... You see lye will react violently when mixed with aluminum and water. The result is a very hot chemical reaction which produces a flammable Hydrogen gas (Ahh... Gives you some kewl ideas huh?). Soap-Alcohol Systems -- Commonly used household soap (not laundry detergent) can be used in combination with alcohol to gel gasoline for use as a flame fuel which will also adhere to target surfaces. Unless the word "soap" actually appears somewhere on the container or wrapper, the washing compound is probably a detergent. THESE CANNOT BE USED! Egg Systems -- The WHITE of any bird egg can be used to gel gasoline. Don't get the yellow egg yolk mixed into the egg whites. If the yellow portion of the egg gets into the egg white then discard the egg. You MUST also add ONE of the following ingredients: Table salt, ground coffee, dried tea leaves, cocoa, sugar, potassium nitrate, epsom salts, washing soda, baking soda, or aspirin. Latex Systems -- Any milky white plant fluid is a potential source of latex which can be used to gel gasoline. One of the following acids must be added too: Acetic acid, sulfuric acid, or hydrochloric acid. Don't get the acids on your skin dumbfucks, it's not phun! Wax Systems -- Any of several common waxes can be used to gel gasoline for use as a flame fuel. Any of the following will do the trick when it comes to waxes: Candles, crayons, furniture and floor waxes, artificial fruit and flowers, wax paper, etc... Animal Blood Systems -- Animal blood can be used to gel gasoline. Okay all of you satanists out there go and get your devil worship groupies, kill a deer and save some of that sacrificial blood for this project! Heh. You MUST also add ONE of the following ingredients: Table salt, ground coffee, dried tea leaves, sugar, lime, epsom salts, or baking soda. Personally I have found that styrofoam works well too... A bit sticky but if your in a pinch then this might help you out! Have phun! Latz...

Material Required -- Spring type clothespin. Solid copper wire -- 1/16 in. (2 mm) in diameter. Strong string or wire. Flat piece of wood (roughly 1/8 x 1" x 2"). Knife Procedure -- 1. Strip four inches (10 cm) of insulation from the ends of 2 solid copper wires. Scrape the copper wires with the knife until the metal is shiny. 2. Wind one scraped wire tightly on one jaw of the clothespin, and the other wire on the other jaw. 3. Make a hole in one end of the flat piece of wood using a knife, heated nail or a drill. Tie the strong string or wire through the hole. 4. Place the flat piece of wood between the jaws of the clothespin switch. Basic Firing Circuit -- Attach one of your leads coming off of the clothespin switch directly to the negative terminal of your battery. Attach the other lead on the switch directly to one of leads coming off of your initiator (i.e. blasting cap). Make sure the small piece of wood is separating both jaws on your clothespin! Now connect the remaining terminal on your intiator and the positive terminal on your battery with a piece of wire. When the flat piece of wood is removed by pulling the string, the jaws of the clothespin will close thus completing the circuit. CAUTION: Do not attach the battery until the switch and the trip wire have been planted and examined. Be sure the flat piece of wood is separating the jaws of the switch. Usage -- Drive a small headed nail through the spring hole and attaching it to a stake of some sort (the clothespin MUST turn freely on the nail). Attach your trip wire to the small wooden block by means of the hole, and run it over a path, tie the other end of the tripcord to a tree or a large plant. Use your imagination!

Remove about 2 inches of insulation from one end of each length of wire. Scrape the bare wire with a knife until the metal is shiny. 2. Make a loop out of each piece of bare wire. 3. Thread each wire through the loop of the other wire so the wires can slide along each other. The loops should contact each other when the two wires are pulled tight. Usage -- 1. Seperate the loops by about 2 inches. Tie a piece of fine thread around the wires near each loop. The thread should be tight enough to support the loops and the wire, yet fine enough that it will break under a very slight pull. 2. Fasten one wire to a tree or stake and connect the end of it to a firing curcuit. 3. Tie a piece of cord or string around the other piece of wire a few inches from the loop. Tie the free end of the cord around a tree, bush, or stake. Connect the free end of the wire to the firing circuit. Initiation will occur when the tripcord is pulled. CAUTION: Be sure that the loops do not touch each other when the wires are connected to the firing circuit. Other Uses -- The switch without the fine thread may be used to activate a booby trap by attaching it between the lid and a rigid portion of a box, between a door and a door jamb, and in similar manners.

Large numbers of inexperienced users have climbed on the net, hoping to get a taste of the "Information Superhighway." They are the people willing to pay a monthly fee for access to internet services, whether direct or indirect; and in most cases, not knowing the difference. Needless to say, those who have been on the net for some time simply hate to see these people. They are a distraction, and their lack of knowledge on the Internet in general speaks for itself in saying that they shouldn't be there. The Internet was designed to rely on unreliability. It can never officially be "shut down," in case of thunderstorms, or even, as its creators carefully planned, in case of nuclear attack. Due to this, the more people that occupy the bandwidth of the Internet increases the unreliability and unstability. This also means things will work slower, in attempts to accomodate the load of users. The attitudes of the people are different. Compare the long-time Internet users, the high school and college students, playing loud music and dressing according to their own styles, with the middle-class middle-aged nine-to-fivers, family-oriented people who are climbing on the net, who have to check their computer's manuals to find out how to turn it on. A conflict of ideas and beliefs separates the Internet into a fun-loving crowd and a "I want what I paid for: information, not a bunch of kids swearing and bothering me." The Internet is a means to keep people on the breaking edge of technology and information, not a place to learn family values and preach about goodness and religion. If there is to be an Information Superhighway meant for everyone, it definately is not the Internet. I'd like to find the guy who first provided the Internet as a commercial service and give him a piece of my mind. Despite attempts to stop the rush of unexperienced crowds of users who feel they can get on the Internet and act like they own it, it is still going on everyday, and at alarming rates. As many as 2 million people will experience the Internet for the first time each month. At a growth rate like this, something will have to be done to enforce a kind of population control. It is already a fact, though, that regular services are slower and sometimes not available due to an overflow of users. Take the Internet Relay Chat service (IRC) for example. Getting onto an IRC server is much harder now, with all the users swarming in for a taste of the infamous live, worldwide, uncensored teleconference system. The IRC servers have user limits which only allows so many users on at a time. By adding more users via commercial providers, and allowing these users to use other servers, they take away from us the freedom we once had. In the future, the Internet might be up for sale, but who will buy it? What will they do with it? And who gets paid for selling it? The simple answer to the demise of the Internet: Money ruins everything. If you sympathize with the newbies and offer your helping hand to them, then maybe you're not really an Internet junkie after all. If you oppose this invasion of the worldwide realtime network where many cyberpunks call home, then do something about it. Not everyone can drive the fast, shiny cars... Not everyone can build their dream home... And not everyone can enjoy the Internet. Whether we like it or not, our world is segregated. Very much so. Segregation is not a bad thing in the way of protecting the Internet, so let's make it a goal to keep it out of the hands of those who don't deserve it.
