- Telegard & Renegade Hints (Bugs)
-
-
- Telegard and Renegade boards are the most used boards around.
- The other boards like SearchLight, Major BBS, Unix, Maximus, etc.
- aren't really that good. But Telegard and Renegade boards,
- to me, are the best and the most user friendly. Since they are
- so user friendly they should be easy to mess with...
-
- The following hints are really just bugs in the software. There
- is no way you can actually hack either of the boards by using
- this text file. This text file is just a list of a few bugs
- that were found in Telegard & Renegade that might help you in
- your way to driving a SysOp insane.
-
-
- - Telegard -
-
- 1) When logging in NEW press ALT-255 (Ascii Space) when it
- asks you for your handle. This will allow you to either
- logon twice with your same handle or using someone else's.
-
-
- 2) Use ALT-255 and use the SysOp's handle. This will make
- the SysOp a little paranoid if he doesn't know about the
- ascii space command.
-
- Many SysOps will start locking out new users and up the
- security a little bit because they think that their board
- is going to get hacked.
-
-
- 3) Rename a file that is full of ascii and name it to the
- computers clock string ($CLOCK, CLOCK.$$$, CLOCK$ something
- like that). When you upoload it the board will automatically
- think it is the real clock string and will start reading
- your ascii file. This will totally mess up the internal
- clock in the computer.
-
-
- 4) If the SysOp is stupid and hasn't taken the ARCHIVE menu off
- of his board then you can have some real fun. Upload a virus
- or a file with a .BAT file inside or something to the affect
- and make it screw his system up. Go into the archive menu
- and run the .BAT file or the virus or whatever you gave to
- him. It will do whatever you told it to do...
-
-
- - Auto Validation -
-
- 5) If the board has Auto-Validation set to ON this could probably
- be the best time you will ever have...
-
- Logon NEW with a fake account. Just start screwing around
- on the board. This is real stupid, but it's fun.
-
- Logon NEW with the SysOp's account and start posting messages
- and automessages about how the board is going to go down
- in a few days. This is very affective if the SysOp is away
- from the computer for a few days.
-
- Logon NEW with the SysOp's account. Start posting messages
- full of cuss words telling people that they are motherfuckers
- and stuff like that. The users will get real angry at who?
- THE SYSOP! The SysOp will have no users after a week of
- you yelling at them.
-
- If the board has FidoNet or some other kind of net start
- posting messages all over the place saying you have dildos
- for sale and stuff like that. It doesn't matter what name
- you use when you do this because the people who run the net
- will get real mad anyways, but if you use the SysOp's name
- it will surely get him kicked off!
-
-
- There are others like uploading LOGOFF.BAT files to run things
- and pressing things like @S@S or @A@A and locking up the
- board, but they are all stupid and almost always fail.
-
-
-
- - Renegade -
-
-
- 1) If the Renegade version is lower than 12-25-92 you can
- press the space bar when it asks you what your
- handle is while loging in NEW. This will lock up the
- SysOp's computer till he reboots.
-
-
- 2) When you post a message in versions 1-03-93 and later
- (only ones I've tested this in) you can hit E for
- edit, then F for From Who and you can put in any name
- you want in. This is good if you post a bad message
- to someone or if you post in a Net of some sort.
-
- 3) Renegade boards have a little trouble with using door
- programs. Expecially callback doors. When RG swaps
- to DOS to run a door it will make a hidden file that
- is the Swapping file. It SHOULD delete it when it
- goes back to the board, but sometimes it doesn't.
- It almost always leaves a hidden file of about 200k
- on the system's hard drive if you use a callback door.
-
-
-
- There, that's my file. It is pretty much worthless, but it might
- give some of you studs *HA* some ideas when you find a lamer
- board that is running TG or something.

- Have Fun
