- Distributed by: The Micro Master
-
- This file is dedicated to all you phreak/sysops out there who
- run those boards full of Longdistance codes, box plans, etc.
-
-
- Intro: I purpose of this file is to explain to those
- sysops in fear of FEDs that they can safly run a board
- with the above mentioned info.on it.
-
-
- The Fear of the Sysop
-
- The number one fear of a sysop is having a FBI agent get access
- to the stuff on their board that could get them busted. Today,
- the only thing you can really get busted for is the posting of
- long distance codes. Therefor, all possible steps must be taken
- to avoid the access of this information. (Steps will be
- explained latter)
-
- Due to this fear, Many sysops will NOT have these boards on
- their BBS. I find it odd that this should be true, but, from
- info from a friend, any users are against having a phreak board
- because they fear losing a BBS to call and getting them selves
- busted (even though a good sysop would delete all user info. as
- soon as he though he was busted.). I will explain the steps
- taken to stop being busted and perhaps it will bring
- understanding to those who blindly or misinformitly fear these
- boards.
-
- The first, easyest, and most inportant step comes at validation.
- Voice validate the aplicant for access and ask these questions:
- #1: Are you a programer for a company and/or do you sell
- software. #2: Do you work for the government, have connections
- with it, and share info with it? #3: Do you agree not to use
- any info. found on the board, or heard about the BBS against it?
- If you receive a no to the first two questions and a yes to the
- next then it is O.k. to validate them Any evasive answers should
- be pursued until a definate yes or no is given. Any untruthful
- answers void the right to use info in court due to illegal
- access to system laws.
-
- That is step one, if by some chance a FBI agent still gets in,
- you should still be safe if you use the next procedures.
-
- Give only people that have done the following access to the
- phreak board:
-
- Admited they are a phreak.
- Given codes.
- Admited that they will use codes for other than educational
- purposes,
-
- That together with the first security procedure and this one you
- should filter out 99.9% of all FBI attempting access. And if
- you run a BBS for 1 years you be luck if even one FBI agent
- tries for access.
-
- The final protection is this, ever time someone accesses the
- board a message should be printed that goes something like this:
-
- Your useing of any info on this board in anyway, forfits the use
- of this info. angainst the system in anyway or else be subjected
- to presucution in a court of law.
-
- By having this printed each time a person accesses the phreak
- board no one can say they didn't know.
-
- Now your system is protected if you use those steps.
-
-
- I hope to have help yoin your pusiut of phreaking.
- Any coments are well come.
