-
-
- Somebody call hotel security, we're at it again! Xmas/HoHoCon '92, three
- years and running. HoHoCon '91 turned out to be the largest and most chaotic
- gathering of any other computer underground conference ever, yet it was also
- the most organized and well planned. Everything from party ball soccer to
- interhotel telegrams from Cliff Stoll to elite cYbuR-strippers, and everyone
- from Bruce Sterling to Erik Bloodaxe & Doc Holiday of Comsec to K0DE WARRI0R
- himself. It was also the first conference to produce .gifs, a definite new
- trend. How we got away with it is still a mystery, and how we'll top it,
- I just don't know. But you can bet we're gonna try! We're looking to get an
- even larger group of people from the computer underground, computer
- security, media, and telecommunications world together to discuss a variety
- of topics. Still no ego trip either, the event will once again be open to
- the public so that anyone may attend, and everyone is encouraged to
- participate in the activities.
-
-
- This is actually a pre 'official announcement', so at this point, we don't
- exactly have all of the conference itself planned. We are still in the midst
- of arranging times and confirming speakers. We would like to have a number
- of people speak on a varied assortment of topics. If you would like to
- speak, please contact us as soon as possible and let us know who you are,
- who you represent (if anyone), the topic you wish to speak on, a rough
- estimate of how long you will need, and whether or not you will be needing
- any audio-visual aids. The main announcement will probably be going out in
- three weeks, and we will be releasing updates every three to four weeks
- after that.
-
- We would like to have people bring interesting items and videos again this
- year, so if you have anything you think people would enjoy having the chance
- to see, please let us know ahead of time, and tell us if you will need any
- help getting it to the conference. If all else fails, just bring it to the
- con and give it to us when you arrive. We will also include a list of items
- and videos that will be present in a future update.
-
- We received a nice amount of media support last year in the form of
- pre-conference announcements and would greatly appreciate the same this
- year. Besides our updates, you will most likely be able to get HoHoCon
- details from CuD, Informatik, Mondo 2000, and Phrack Magazine. If you are a
- journalist and would like to do a story on HoHoCon 92, or know someone who
- would, contact us with any questions you may have, or feel free to use and
- reprint any information in this file.
-
- If anyone requires any additional information, needs to ask any questions,
- wants to RSVP, or would like to be added to the mailing list to receive the
- HoHoCon updates, you may write myself (Drunkfux) or any of the other
- HoHoCon planning committee members (uh... whoever they may be) at:
-
-
- dfx@nuchat.sccsi.com
-
- Or: Fennec Information Systems
- Attn: HoHo Con
- 11504 Hughes Rd. Suite 131
- Houston, Texas 77089
-
-
- For those without net access, we'll list a few boards to reach us on in the
- upcoming announcement, as well as a P.O. Box. Currently, your best bet would
- be to try any of the cDc systems. Mainly, Demon Roach Underground -
- (806) 794-4362, Login: THRASH, NUP: Jihad (I think).
-
- HoHoCon 92 will be a priceless learning experience for professionals (yeah,
- right) and gives journalists a chance to gather information and ideas direct
- from the source. It is also one of the very few times when all the members
- of the computer underground can come together for a realistic purpose. We
- urge people not to miss out on an event of this caliber, which doesn't
- happen very often. If you've ever wanted to meet some of the most famous
- people from the hacking community, this may be your one and only chance.
- Don't wait to read about it in all the magazines, and then wish you had
- attended, make your plans to be there now! Be a part of what we hope to be
- our largest and greatest conference ever.

- SIXTY-TWO SIGNS

- of the end of the age?" (Matt. 24:3). Jesus answered their question with not
- only one sign, but many. People today are asking the same question, and the
- Bible tells us what we can expect in this day as the coming of the Lord
- draws near.

- Using "anonymous ftp"
- ---------------------
- Using "anonymous ftp" to get files from other Internet machines
-
-
- By Mark Moraes, University of Toronto
-
-
- [Editor's Note: I realize that most of us know how to do this...however,
- many subscribers have written to me wondering how. So instead of me
- explaining it, let's let this file enlighten the less-priviliged.]
-
-
- Anonymous ftp is a facility offered by many machines on the Internet.
- This permits you to log in with the ftp program with the user name
- 'anonymous' or the user name 'ftp'. When prompted for a password, type
- your e-mail address -- it's not necessary, but it's a courtesy for
- those sites that like to know who is making use of their facility. Be
- courteous.
-
- Most ftp sites do not like people getting files from them during their
- working hours since they usually have other load on their systems --
- avoid 9am-5pm in their time-zone.
-
- Also bear in mind that countries are often connected by relatively
- low-bandwidth links, so please check local archive sites before you
- connect to some distant country to fetch something. If you think the
- item you want is popular, ask your local archive site sysadmin, who
- may be willing to set up a copy on the local archive.
-
- Different archive sites have different forms of etiquette -- if you see
- a README or README.TXT file in the ftp directory, please read it.
-
- Once you're connected to the remote site via ftp, you can look around
- and retrieve files. (Most anonymous ftp sites do not permit people to
- store files) The ftp program prompts you with
-
- ftp>
-
- and offers a few commands that are similar to Unix. "cd" changes your
- directory on the remote machine, "lcd" changes your directory on the
- local machine, "get" will get a file, etc. See the manual page for ftp
- (use the command "man ftp")
-
- Typically, a directory called 'pub' is where the interesting things
- are stored. Some sites will have a file with a name like ls-lR, that
- contains a complete list of the files on that site. Otherwise, you can
- type ls -lR and get such a listing -- for some sites, this can take
- a LONG time. This doesn't work on some sites.
-
- Usually, files are grouped in composite "archive" files, so you don't
- have to get many small files separately. The most common Unix archive
- file format for the Internet is tar, usually indicated by a ".tar"
- suffix in the file name. tar archives can be unpacked by running the tar
- command -- you may want to first do a 'tar t' on the file to see what
- it contains before unpacking it.
-
- Occasionally, people use shell archives (with .shar or .sh suffixes)
- instead. These are Unix Bourne shell scripts, with files encapsulated
- in them. Be careful when unpacking shell archives since they have to
- be run through the Bourne shell to unpack them. The simplest way is
- to use the unshar command, if your system has one installed.
- Otherwise, you have to delete all the leading text with an editor and
- then run the rest of the text through "sh" o unpack the archive. Make
- sure you're in the directory you want the files in before you try
- unpacking the archive, since there's no good way to list the contents
- of an archive.
-
- Files are often stored compressed -- for Unix, the most common form
- is the compress program, indicated by a .Z suffix on the file name.
-
- Sometimes, people use programs like arc (indicated by a .ARC suffix),
- zoo (.ZOO), zip (.ZIP) or lharc (.LZH), which are combined archival
- and compression formats. (There are lots of other archive formats -
- talk to the systems staff if you encounter them and don't know how to
- deal with them) Macintosh archives are often in StuffIt format (.SIT).
- In each case, you need the relevant extraction program. Usually, the
- archive site will also have a copy of the extraction program for ftp.
- Finally, there's the "self-extracting" archive format, popular in the
- PC world -- they look like executable programs (.EXE) and when run,
- they unpack the files they contain.
-
- When retrieving non-text files, you must use binary mode, otherwise
- the file gets messed up. To do this, use the 'binary' command. (It's
- safe to set this for text files if the other end is a Unix system,
- since Unix doesn't differentiate between text and binary file
- representation. If the site at the other end is non-Unix, you may need
- to use some other mode -- see the documents for that site and for ftp)

- An example session follows -- the commands I typed are all underlined
- with a row of carets (^^^^) and are usually typed at the % or ftp>
- prompt.
