- The lastest transmittal of the Syndicate Report can now be
- found on 612-829-8509. When you call the number...have your modem
- set at 300 baud, and ANSWER. If this doesn't work...reset your modem
- to ORIGINATE just as you would call a regular BBS. And if there are any
- second parts to TSR's...they will be found on 612-829-8508. Remember...
- only 300 baud.

-
- Author's Note:
-
- Welcome to Part 2 of The Syndicate Report Issue #13. I've added this
- extra transmittal due to the extra amount of news going around. This issue
- was dedicated directly to my experience with MCI and Mpls Interstate Cops.
-
- Also, there will be an upcoming feature about Silent Assault, a local
- 612 Phreak, most likely in TSR #14. It will feature how SA's bust.
-
- Don't Be Careless Out There!

- "This is might be the last article I will write, I'm still waiting to
- here from the Secret Service."
-
- It was 1:11 pm - July 8, 1987. I had woken up around 11:00 pm from a
- busy night of scanning Bell's Test Access System in California (415 UNIX).
- That night I had gotten into the system. Nodename was 'tuuv7'. I only had a
- chance to check my privs. on the Unix when I was logged out. I just sat there
- staring at the 'CONNECTION LOST...' note on my screen wondering what I actually
- did wrong. I tried to ring the System back to continue, but all I received was
- a solid ringing. I thought that I must have tripped an alarm. I then decided
- to turn in for the night, and give a wack at it in the morning.
-
-
- As I said before, I woke up at 11:00. I booted up the terminal program,
- and attempted to log back into the Bell Unix. It gave me a carrier, but this
- time I didn't have to enter in the 'Password:', just the 'Function:'.
- And all I got this time was '>UNIX=tuu7', And nothing else. I just hung up,
- and would bring up the question on Osuny BBS.
-
- I attempted to dial Osuny Bbs, only to find I had an invalid code on
- my hands. Not willing to pay for an LD call, I picked out another one. Then
- before I could dial the local Acc Number, I heard a loud knocking at my back
- door. I wondered who the hell knocks as loud as that, and went to answer it.
- As I just walked out of my room, I seen what it looked like as a local cop
- searching for someone/something around my house. I didn't waste another
- second, and instantly ran back to my room and stashed all the illegal items I
- could into a private place. I caught my breath, and by this time they had
- stopped knocking. I thought they had gone away, but instead I found them just
- sitting in their unmarked car. I thought this was strange, since cops usually
- come in regular cops cars to haul you away for a parking ticket. Well, I
- didn't feel like letting them sit out there all day, so I walked out and ask if
- I could help them. They got out of the car quicker than thought possible and
- asked me questions..."What's your full name, How old are you, Do you have
- a computer...YES? Do you have a modem? etc...After the 101 questions about
- my life, they wanted to see my set-up because they got a call from MCI and Bell
- about codes and hacking into their computers. They said they had a trace on
- my line for about 3 days, and knew ever where I called. I brang them to my
- room easily knowing all the illegal items had been stashed. The first of the
- two Capital Police of Minneapolis (That's what their badges said), came first
- to my room, and the second didn't follow right away. The first cop was a
- moron. He looked over my set up, and asked what everthing was. I quess the
- second cop knew all about computers. The second cop picked up all my notes and
- started reading them. He first looked at Phrack World News XIV/2, then my
- 13th Transmittal of The Syndicate Report, then a list of local systems I had
- scanned out the night before. He asked what I was looking for with all these
- numbers. I just said I was looking for HLI DDS Systems, knowing he knew
- nothing about HLI's. All the documents looked over were: Various Phrack
- files, Syndicate Reports, a few TAP/2600 Mags., countless UNIX files and
- discussions (Posts with Users Names, Systems Names, Dates etc.), and an
- interview file I had for the Informant - Dan the Operator. He took all of
- these and 4 books of notes I had.
-
- I then looked at my screen, and forgotten I had a hacker loaded up,
- but I only had a listing of it. He asked me what it was, I said a word
- processor. He then asked my what my private phone numbers are. I told him my
- parents number, and the actual one I used for scanning. But I told him a fake
- number for my third line, knowing that it just rings and rings if you call it.
- The second cop looked over my modem and told me he would have to take it
- downtown for a while. I asked him when/if I would get it back, he said soon.
- I wasn't worried to much, I had two more modems put away. He then paged
- through my disks, taking all the general files, and a few utility disks etc.
- He asked me about MCI's access codes I used. I told him I just tried it a
- couple of times, and gave up. He didn't beleive me and asked if I gave out
- the following codes to anyone, and he listed a bunch. Of course the only word
- that came from me was 'NO'.
-
- They then informed me that fraudulent use of Codes and Hacking are
- illegal, and could bring Federal charges since calls where made all over
- hell. He also said the Secret Service will get in touch with me. And that
- was it.
-
- I have yet to wait for the Secret Service to call, or come over. I
- have really nothing to say about phreak/hacking, and no regrets as of yet.
- I knew the chances wadged against me, but since I'm still a minor I continued.
-
- The last issue of The Syndicate Report is Transmittal #13. I've put out
- TSR for well over a year, and had no intention of quitting. But these
- circumstances force me to stop, atleast for now. The Syndicate Report will
- continue to be published monthly.
-
- At this time I would like to thank the following people/boards:
-
- Captian's Log - Where I first learn the very basics of phreaking.
- I don't quite remember the person's name that
- explained phreaking, but I thank him.
- 2001 BBS - Bootleg's old system in the 503. A lot of great
- discussions came out of that system.
- Private Sector BBS - 2600 Magazine, Kid & Co.
- Police Station - Hours of hacking into this once great system.
- I.P.D - International Phreaks/Pirates Division - First group
- I was a member to.
- Phrack Inc. - For PWN, Support and idea for The Syndicate Report
- MCI - For years of loyal service
