- The Return of "The Rebel"
- <><><><><><><><><><><><><
-
-
- Phrack Inc. reported a while ago that The Rebel was busted in the "sweeps"
- along with:
-
- Fred from RCMAC
- Ninja NYC
- Buckwald
- -and several others-
-
-
- The Rebel was not actually busted but did receive several threatening phone
- calls from either federal authorities or Bell Security. After receiving all of
- these threatening phone calls, Rebel took his all of his computer equipment
- and hid it in his uncle's basement. He later received a visit from the special
- fraud squad. It seems tht they received a letter that detailed many of Rebel's
- activities dealing with phreaking/hacking/anarchy/etc.
-
- The Rebel let them look through his house and they naturally found no computer
- equipment. Since they had no equipment, they had no case and no charges were
- brought against him.

- Private Connection
-
- (219) 956-4532

-
-
- If the Private Connection stays up, it is likely to assume that all TNS files
- will be there also.

- Marc Blitz
- High Tech II
-
-
- The group will be writing g-files. At the present time they have 5 files. The

- everything about the group is certain.
-
- They WILL be putting out a newsletter though. To contact the Foreign Legion:

- The Story on Mafia Dude:
- ------------------------
-
- Last October Mafia Dude was arrested; the cop who arrested him asked about:
-
- - his junction box activities
- - phreaking
- - if he ever "cracked" passwords for mainframes
-
- The charges were dropped but now he has run into more trouble.
-
-
- Recently Mafia Dude was arrested (as well as Cablecast 0perator). It seems
- that Mafia Dude had a stolen IBM PC compatible. More complications have
- arisen because his parents found his notes on phreaking/hacking.
-
- Someone said that Mafia Dude was going to sell his stolen IBM PC compatible
- and his school administrator (named Mr. Thompson) found out about it. The
- school administrator decided to get the cops involved and Mafia Dude was
- arrested. His bulletin board, Bellcore Systems, is currently down.
-
- Mafia Dude asks that no one erase any of his accounts on the boards that he is
- on.
-
-
- To contact him:
-
-
- bbs: 203-754-1952 mail to: NO MORALZ
-
- bbs: 414-367-4367 mail to: STYLE (sysop)
-
-
- If you urgently need to call him then call his bbs number and he might answer
- voice.

- TNS Quick/\/otes:
- <<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Doctor Quack is forming a phreak/hack group. More information later.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- A local to Mafia Dude who was busted by MCI gave out some startling news. He
- said that AT&T and MCI would be working together in some agreement. This
- contract between AT&T and MCI would help them to identify certain phreaks.
- While this is a scary idea, it is very unlikely.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Phrack files up to 16 are availiable at the following NetSys Pubaccess UNIX.
- The fee is $60.00 a year which entitles users to various things. The number is
- (301) 540-3656
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Anyone who knows a person named DIALTONE should contact the Executive Inn.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Appler recently discovered an interesting trick for Allnet. Here's
- how it's done:
-
-
- Call the 950-1044 port
-
- Enter a valid and working code
-
- Dial a Metromedia mailbox
-
- While the message is playing, hit #
-
- # will give you a fast busy signal
-
- As the busy signal ends you will hear a few clicks
-
-
- Every few times you get a dialtone. This is Allnet's dialtone. To reach
- Alliance you have to dial out of AT&T. The trick seems to work best after
- 11 p.m. Later it was found out that it works for almost any number that hangs
- up. It will work for carriers and such. It is unknown how long this little
- trick will last. .... just something interesting.
-

-
- PCP files:
- @@@@@@@@@@
-
- Around 4 months ago I wrote a series of files dealing with nfo.
- These files (known as the PCP files; PCP=Pirate Communicatons Productions)
- will be availiable. It is unknown which ones will be in Phrack but here is a
- small list of what the files are:
-
-
- - the longest list of payphone numbers ever assembled
-
- - a guide to diverters (very descriptive, full instructions, etc.)
-
- - a "Boxing Dictionary" giving descriptions of all boxes (basic)
-
- - the lists*
-
-
- *: The "lists" are a Data Directory. This is a listing of different computers
- and I'm sure will have some significance just by the size of it. It took
- me several hours to compile. They are as follows:
-
-
- Data Directory #1: Computers A-M
- Data Directory #2: Computers N-Z
- Data Directory #3: Carriers
-
-
- These are probably some of the greatest g-files that I will every write. Most
- of the material in the Data Directories came directly from my notebooks. I put
- them together in the spirit of older files such as "Harry Hackalot's" and
- of course "13th Floor Enterprises" (Am I the only person who still remembers
- these?)
-
- Although they did come from my notebooks (files/folders/folios/etc.),
- I decided not to include the passwords*logins for the systems that I have
- hacked out. This is not because I am selfish but because they wouldn't last
- if I did such a thing.
-
- Data Directory #3 contains the LONGEST list of carriers ever written.
-
- I'm sure that these files will delight all hackers (an anger several computer
- security officials).
-
- You can obtain these files at Ripco or the Executive Inn.

- Bellcore Systems Down!
- ----------------------
-
- As stated earlier in connection with Mafia Dude's bust, Bellcore Systems,
- his BBS is down due to his bust. Don't call it.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Southland Systems (a commom carrier at 1-800-248-6284) has blocked out Scan
- Man's bulletin board, Pirate-80, from receiving calls. When a VALID code is
- entered to place a call to P-80, the call does not go through. This most
- likely came about because most of the calls to P-80 are made illegally.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When will the LOD/H Technical Journal #3 be released?
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Various investigations have been looking into credit repair agencies.
-
- These agencies claim to clean up your computer credit history to get you
- credit. Most of these are fraudulent.
