- $ Final Issue $
-
-
-
- Welcome to the final issue of TNS. I know this might come as a shock to some
- people (well maybe not) but this is the last issue of TNS. There will never be
- a 51st Issue. 50 Issues is plenty and soon I will be leaving the modem world.
-
-
- (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
-
-
- The main purpose of this issue is just to wrap some things up. I will
- be leaving the phreak/hack world after this issue is distributed. I didn't
- expect that this newsletter would be so difficult to produce. All of the
- typing that I have been forced to do has taken its toll (It takes a long time
- to transcribe all of those articles). I have put a lot of time and effort into
- TNS and I hope that I made it into a good magazine.
-
- I have grown tired of all the r0dentz in the phreak/hack world and all
- of the pseudo-phreaks and 13-year olds. Most bulletin boards lack serious
- discussions and are filled with tons of r0dentz.
-
- During my time in the phreak/hack world I have gotten away with many
- things that I shouldn't have done. It's been fun and I don't regret a thing.
- I've learned a lot and have done a lot of hacking and phreaking over the past
- 4 years. I've enjoyed most of it and will miss many things.
-
-
- Right now I'd like to just wrap up some things:
-
- - Cablecast Operator was put on probation for one year and fined. TAU is
- still dead though. It lives on in the TRIAD. Black Peter is probably gone by
- now too. He's off doing field-phreaking with Lord North.
-
- - Allnet is increasing its security. There's some rumor that if a carrier is
- detected on a line, they will check out the code to see if the use of the code
- is authorized.
-
- - Don't believe that REMOBS ever existed.
-
- - Oryan QUEST never knew the first thing about hacking.
-
- - 950s don't have ANI.
-
- - and John Maxfield is an asshole.
-
- - The Syndicate Report is probably gone forever. No one knows where the
- Sensei is. He's gone.
-
-
- Other things:
- -------------
-
- There will be no more TNS is the future. 50 issues is where it ends. No
- one is taking over the magazine. If I do come back into the phreak/hack world
- (which would be atleast a year away). I will not revive TNS but would rather
- write for some other on-line magazine (whether it be Phrack, TRIAD, or some
- other magazine that might pop up in the future). Phrack is actually quite lame
- right now. Taran King was supposed to help with Phrack 17 but cancelled those
- plans.
- Some good boards in the hack/phreak world are OSUNY, ce, and Ripco International. Those are all fine boards.
-
- Files:
- ------
-
- Over the years that I have been in the h/p world I have written several
- files besides the 50 issues of TNS. They are as follows:
-
-
- - A Payphone List (the longest every assembled)
-
- - A Boxing Dictionary (with about 25 boxing definitions/functions/etc).
-
- - A Guide to Diverters (very good/describes everything about them).
-
- - A Guide to False Carriers (important information on them)
-
- - The DATA DIRECTORY
-
-
- Data Directory:
-
- This was actually three files that I released recently. Originally I
- wanted them to go in Phrack but after I contributed them, I heard nothing. So
- I decided to release them on my own. They are:
-
- Computers A-M (Computers from A-M)
-
- Computers N-Z (Computers from N-Z)
-
- Carriers
-
-
- The carrier list is the longest list of carriers EVER assembled. It is
- extremely long and will delight any true hacker. There's plenty there. I'd
- think that the carrier list is the best file I've ever written. Most of these
- files are floating around. Ripco and P-80 are two places where I know they
- both are. Check there first.
-
- The Data Directory was actually a computer version of my notebooks. Over
- the years in phreaking/hacking, I've collected a lot of information that I
- have stored in about 3 notebooks and some 5 folders. In addition to this I
- have two boxes filled with junk that I've trashed from various central
- offices (does anyone trash anymore?).
- Most of this stuff will be thrown out soon as I exit the phreak/hack world.
- I don't even plan on keeping the 2600 Magazine issues. I've decided to throw
- away all of it except maybe a notebook or two that is dear to me. The Data
- Directory is a large part of my notebooks (those files took me over seven
- hours to write dammit!!).
-
-
- $PCP$
- -----
-
- PCP was just the title under which I wrote my files. It stands for Pirate
- Communications Productions. It means nothing significant.
-
-
- My computer will be gone within the next month and, as stated earlier,
- the earliest that I would return to the modem world will be in a year. I'll
- call around and see what's happening (I'm sure P-80 will STILL be up). As for
- now, sysops should remove all my accounts from all bulletin boards that I am
- on. I'd say I'm on about 8 different boards.
-
-
- That's all I have to say now. With this issue completed I am now leaving
- the phreak/hack world... so....
