- Welcome to issue 3 of Phrack Pro-Phile. The information herein was originally
- supposed to appear as a special issue of PWN, but instead was made this issue's
- Phrack Pro-Phile. Taran King and I have collected much information about the
- different clubs and groups of today and yesterday and compiled in the form that
- you will now see.
- \`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\
- Extasyy Elite: The story of Extasyy Elite is a sad one for the group was
- literally destroyed by its own members. The Poltergeist turned
- in all of Extasyy after he got busted for carding. This led
- the authorities to The Mentor who had stolen 30 Apple //es.
- Mentor's bust almost led to The Protestor, but luckily, The
- Mentor was able to warn Protestor in time. (See Phrack World
- News Issue III).
-
- The membership of the club included:
-
- Bit Blitz Cisban Evil Priest
- Crustaceo Mutoid Kleptic Wizard
- The Mentor The Poltergeist
- The Protestor
-
-
- Crustaceo Mutoid later joined the Racketeers, but now he and The Mentor write
- for a California newsletter called the Underground Informer.
-
- Extasyy hung out on Hack Net BBS and FWSO, a bbs in Colorado.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fargo 4A: This group was started on a conference consisting of Bioc Agent 003,
- TUC, Big Brother, Quasi-Moto, Video Warhead, and the Wizard of
- Arpanet. What they did was get several Directory Assistants on the
- conference, and each person assumed a role of some sort of telco
- agent. Now they told the DA's that all their calls were going to be
- re-routed to a different location. They got some of the DA's to
- believe them, and some of them were almost laid off because of this
- conference. By the way, Fargo is in North Dakota, that's where the
- first DA was from.
-
- It is believed that Wizard of ARPAnet was busted by John Maxfield
- and that BIOC completely retired from the phreak world. This group
- was unofficially disbanded, but several of the members are still
- active.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Five-O: A reasonably new IBM kracking group, which was formally the Imperial
- Warlords. Currently they are re-kracking software and claiming it to
- be original by themselves. They are known for placing insulting
- messages towards certain people inside their re-kracked software.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- IBM Syndicate: This group was formed around April 6, 1986. Its charter
- members included; Dark Creaper (916), Brew Associates (215),
- Major Havoc (301), and one other whose handle remains unknown
- to me at the current time. They were a new phreak/hack/pirate
- group. Unfortunately, this group (like so many others) died
- within its first month.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Icub (International Computer Underground Bandits):
-
- This is a hack/phreak group who's main emphasis is on phreaking. It is
- based in Memphis, Tennessee. It has 10 members in it, and the only
- semi-active member left is Doc Holiday. Not much else is really known
- about this group except that it is inactive and there have not been any
- announced plans to revive it.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- LOD/H: Legion Of Doom/Hackers
-
- These two groups are very closely intertwined. They both were formed
- on Plovernet. The founding member was Lex Luthor. Through the years,
- there have been LOD/H bulletin boards such as Blottoland, LOD, FOD,
- etc. Today there is Catch 22 and a new LOD bbs, supposedly being run
- by King Blotto. The current member list of the group is as follows:
-
- Legion Of Hackers Legion Of Doom
- ----------------- --------------
- Blue Archer Phucked Agent 04
- Gary Seven Compu-Phreak
- Kerrang Khan
- Lex Luthor
- Master Of Impact
- Silver Spy (Sysop of Catch 22)
- The Marauder
- The Videosmith
-
- LOD/H is known for being one of the oldest and most knowledgeable of all
- groups. In the past they have written many extensive g-philes about various
- topics. (Please forgive any mistakes in the member list since this list was
- provided by Lex Luthor approximately 1 1/2 - 2 months ago).
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- its existence. Some of the boards in its menagerie

- December, 1985. The charter members were TWCB, Inc. taRfruS,

- the Rye and the Slovak wanted to join.
-
- PAP: In resistance to PAG, Boston Stangler and Micro Man formed PAP.
- Several others sided with them but were never formal members.
-
- All of this nonsense was really started on the Dartmouth system and was mainly
- a feud between phreaks in the Boston (617) area until TWCB got involved.

- and Sunnyvale, California. It was started by TRASk and
- The Highwayman. The membership includes:
-
- BelGarion/Ogre Ogre/The Animator/The Highwayman/TRASk
-
- All of the members of the group have been busted or been involved in busts in
- the past few months. The Highwayman bit it in the Phoenix Phortress Sting
- Operation, and the others all got caught on a carding scam. Although BelGarion
- was later released with no record.
-
- One of the boards in the Nihilist Order's network is the Shattered World Elite,
- which is sysoped by TRASk. The group is currently inactive.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The P.H.I.R.M.: A somewhat new group that recently has been accused (without
- proof) of being fed invested.
-
- Not much is really known about this group as they would
- disclose very little information. Some of the boards that are
- now P.H.I.R.M operated include Thieve's Underworld, sysoped by
- Jack The Ripper, World's Grave Elite sysoped by Sir Gamelord,
- and SATCOM IV.

- membership now includes:
-
- Apple Rebel/Crustaceo Mutoid/Hot Rod/The Micron/The Warezird
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Tribunal Of Knowledge: This group was formed very recently by Blue Buccaneer
- and High Evolutionary with one purpose in mind: to get
- together to trade knowledge and information and to
- discuss this information until all the members had a
- good working knowledge of it. The final result would
- be g-philes written by the group about the topic. On
- the whole it was a good idea.
-
- The complete membership includes:
-
- Blue Buccaneer Chef Boy R Dee
- Cyclone II High Evolutionary
- Night Stalker Paradox
- Professor Pixel Slave Driver
- The Inspectre The Seker

- 2300 Club: Based in Cleveland, Ohio. The 2300 Club is now being compared and
- treated as miniature mafia by local authorities. This is mainly
- for crimes including the blowing up of cars. Two of the members
- were caught for fraudulent use of a credit card and one has been
- arrested for car theft. Which of the members that refers to, I
- don't know, but the membership of the 2300 Club included:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2600 Club/New 2600 Club: Both groups are no longer in existence. Originally
- started as a local group of friends in St. Louis,
- Missouri, it gained members quickly, too quickly, and
- as the membership grew, the unity and productivity of
- the group lessened until the group(s) finally broke
- up. However many of the members of 2600 Club now
- write (or have in the past) for Phrack Inc. Among
- them are:
-
- Cheap Shades/Data Line/Dr. Crash/Forest Ranger/Gin Fizz/Jester Sluggo
- Knight Lightning/Monty Python/Phantom Phreaker/Taran King/The Clashmaster
-
- 2600 Club had no relation to 2600 Magazine.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Warelords: There are 13 members in the Warelords and they are based in
- California, Maryland, Tennessee, Washington D.C., and Wyoming.
- Billibuster, a member of the group, said that the Warelords are a
