- LOD TECHNICAL JOURNAL
- ---------------------
-
-
-
- The Legion of Doom will long be remembered in the computer
- underground as an innovative and pioneering force, that
- consistently raised the collective level of knowledge and
- provided many answers to questions ranging from the workings
- of the telephone system to the structure of computer operating
- systems.
-
-
- 5. At all times relevant herein, the Legion of Doom (LOD) was a closely
- knit group of computer hackers involved in:
-
- a. Disrupting telecommunications by entering
- computerized telephone switches and changing the
- routing on the circuits of the computerized
- switches.
- b. Stealing proprietary computer source code and
- information from companies and individuals that
- owned the code and information.
- c. Stealing and modifying credit information on
- individuals maintained in credit bureau computers.
- d. Fraudulently obtaining money and property from
- companies by altering the computerized information
- used by the companies.
- e. Disseminating information with respect to their
- methods of attacking computers to other computer
- hackers in an effort to avoid the focus of law
- enforcement agencies and telecommunication security
- experts.
- - Indictment laid down by a US District Court
-
-
- It wasn't the crimes they were committing, but the danger,
- the potential hazard, the sheer technical power LoD had
- accumulated, that had made the situation untenable.
- - Bruce Sterling in The Hacker Crackdown
-
-
- Its been over THREE whole years since we last put out a TJ! May, 20th 1990 to
- be exact.
-
- The LOD TJ, will publish any acceptable and original articles, technical
- explanations, schematics or other files that deal with computer
- security/insecurity, telecommunications, data networks, physical security,
- credit, law enforcement, privacy, cryptology, restricted information,
- editorial commentary and other topics. To submit an article for publication
- simply send it to us. Freelance writers are always sought after to provide
- original articles for the TJ. Bigger is better as far as this Journal goes.
- The more information, the more instruction and the more people can benefit
- from it.
-
- The LOD also seeks qualified members to fill its ranks. You must possess a
- strong desire to both learn and teach. Those with an eleeet attitude need not
- apply. LOD's former membership was a list of some of the brightest and most
- capable individuals in the underground - names like Mark Tabas, The Mentor,
- The Prophet and others. Take advantage of your opportunity to join the ranks
- of the world's greatest underground group. Apply today.
-
- What is particularly needed right now is someone in the publishing business
- to publish all the TJ's on hard copy and make them available for mass sale.
- Not just another "hacker book company" mind you, but one that will be able to
- place the TJ in your common book store. As this will both give us legitimacy
- and make it available to the average person and not just those with modems or
- net.access. We expect to receive no profit from this so there is an added
- bonus to any potential publishers. If you are a publisher or can get us in
- contact with one that can undertake this, by all means contact us.

- The Legion of Doom is back to...
-
- o Provide free education for the public in data and telecom networks,
- operating systems and other aspects of technology. Through both our
- Technical Journal and our new Legion of Doom Technical School.
- o Turn hacking back into its former glory of technical understanding away
- from its c0de abusing state today.
- o Publish a high-quality Technical Journal available to all who are
- interested completely free of charge.
- o Give fellow hackers an organized group of similar minded individuals to
- communicate and learn with.
-
- Please be advised that we are still getting "back on our feet". So look for
- much better journals and other things to come from us in the future. It will
- take at least a couple years to get the Legion back to its former glory so
- don't expect things to happen instantly. Hopefully these journals can come
- out every couple of months, instead of our previous year odd gaps between
- releases. But as finding and writing suitable articles is very difficult it
- may be sometime before the next issue comes out. If this does happen, don't
- assume we're dead. More journals will come out, it is only a question of
- when.
-
- For one reason or another the LOD has always been surrounded by an atmosphere
- of mis-information, confusion and downright lies. Everyone has heard the
- expression "don't believe everything you hear". This is especially true with
- anything concerning the LOD. As a general rule if you didn't hear it in this
- TJ, chances are its untrue or incorrect.
-
- This TJ may be freely distributed on either hard or soft copy forms as long
- as it has not been altered.
