-
- Allow me to clear some things up. Babbs' Boy was a friend of mine a while back
- and was more of a Game Programmer than a "hacker" (or "cracker," if you want
- to be anal about it). Babbs' Boy was NEVER in MsU. He had asked me if he
- could write a file for the group. We informed him that he could if he wanted
- to, but he could in no way represent us. According to Babbs' Boy, he retrieved
- the information from a copy of the ECPA. Since we were not releasing that as a
- MsU file, we never bothered to check any of the said information out. In fact,
- MsU does not create files for public display, although individual members may.
-
- Apparently Babbs' Boy uploaded his copy of the document to Ripco, in which
- it went wideband from there. I am told that 3 other documents were released
- in MSU's name, by someone using one of my very old handles of Raistlin. I can
- assure you that these documents were not released by any legitimate (old or
- current) member of Midnight Society Underground.
-
- Again, to clear things up, Babbs' is not nor ever was a member of MsU, nor
- are there any legitimate public releases from our group.
-
- Besides, we don't let people in the group who spell Feds "FEDZ" ..the shit just
- ain't done.

- Subject: Censorship in Cyberspace
- To: Phrack Staff
-
- I have been hired to write an article about the control of information in
- cyberspace. We all know that Fidonet moderators and sysops devote their OWN
- resources for us to use. There is no question about the "right" of the sysop
- or moderator to delete messages and users. The practice of censorship is
- nonetheless newsworthy.
-
- If YOU have experienced censorship on Fidonet or Usenet, Prodigy or CompuServe,
- or another BBS or network, I am interested in learning about your story. If
- you can supply downloads of actual encounters, so much the better.
-
- If you have ever been censored, send me physical world mail about the event.

- Dear Phrack Staff,
-
- There are very serious negative consequences surrounding the use of modems
- and computers in our society. Because of this, all children under the age
- of 18 should be prohibited from using a computer in connection with a modem
- or that is connected to any computer service.
-
- Please read my attached news release and join me in spreading this message.

- NEWS RELEASE March 18, 1992
-
-
- PEDOPHILIA, COMPUTERS, AND CHILDREN
-
- If you have children in your home and a home computer complete with a telephone
- modem, your child is in potential danger of coming in contact with deviant and
- dangerous criminals.
-
- Using the computer modem, these unsavory individuals can communicate directly
- with your child without your knowledge. Just as importantly, you should be
- concerned if your child has a friendship with other youth who has access to
- this equipment in an unsupervised environment.
-
- Using a computer and a modem, your child can readily access community "bulletin
- boards" and receive sexually explicit and graphic material from total strangers
- who can converse with your children, individuals you quite probably wouldn't
- even talk with.
-
- The concern becomes more poignant when stated otherwise; would you let a child
- molester, murderer, or convicted criminal into your home to meet alone with
- your child?
-
- According to Fresno Police Detective Frank Clark, "your child can be in real
- danger from pedophiles, rapists, satanic cultists and other criminals known to
- be actively engaged in computer conversation. Unwittingly, naive children with
- a natural curiosity can be victimized; emerging healthy sexual feelings of a
- child can be subverted into a twisted, unnatural fetish affecting youth during
- a vulnerable time in their lives."
-
- It is anticipated that parents, when armed with the knowledge that this
- activity exists and awareness that encounters with such deviant individuals
- can result in emotional and psychological damage to their child, will take
- appropriate measures to eliminate the possibility of strangers interacting with
- their children via a computer.
-
- For Further Information, contact Ron Hults (209)498-4568

- Subject: Thanks
-
- Dear Knight Lightning,
-
- I would like to thank you for the message you wrote to Dale (scumbag) Drew.
- Although the fact is that he will only be slightly inconvenienced by having to
- dig up issues of Phrack on his own instead of having them delivered to his
- mailbox, his being refused to be added to the mailing list means a lot more. If
- I were him, I would consider it a slap in the face (since it seems almost as
- bad, IMO, as being blacklisted). :)
-
- May he run into 10 homosexual wrestlers in a dark alley.

- Review of Intertek Winter 1992

- by Dispater
-
- Intertek is the *SHARPEST* looking 'zine I've seen yet that directly
- addresses the world of cyberspace. It's not "high res" color or artsy-fartsy
- like Mondo 2000, but it is at least more interesting to read as a whole. I
- think it looks better and is more direct and to the point. You don't have to
- wade through a bunch of trash to get to something interresting.
-
- This issue of Intertek focused on "virtual communities." The topics
- included: "Bury USENET," "Electropolis (IRC)," "Social Organization of the
- Computer Underground" by Gordon Meyer, "Real World Kerberos," and "Mudding:
- Social Phenomena in Text-Based Virtual Realities." Every issue also contains
- the top news tidbits about some truly high-tech achievements that go unnoticed
- by the mainstream media (I guess the Mike Tyson trial gets more ratings,
- huh?). All in all, it was much more interesting to me than the last issue
- (Volume 3.2). It's magazines like this that I hope will help make the
- mainstream media obsolete.
-
- If you are looking for "how-to" techie projects or hacking tips, this is
- NOT for you! Many hackers I know don't like it and think it's boring as hell;
- 2600 and Phrack it isn't. However, if you are interested in the "big picture"
- of the cyberspace (what ever that means! :) or are, say, interested in studying
- cyberspace from an uninvolved level, this is the magazine for you. Intertek is
- full of social insight into what makes the cyberspace tick. It does this much
- better than the feeble attempts other magazines have made. For only $7.00 a
- year, I think it's worth it.

- Hacking in Australia
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- By The Cure
-
- Australia has been very sparse after my BBS (Micromation) was closed down. A
- lot of people took it as a warning, and closed up shop as well. The Amiga
- warez BBSes still continue to flourish, as do some IBM ones. Because of the
- expense of phone lines ($300 installation of a line, $250 per year rental [in
- American dollars]) we tend to have a lot of BBSes that are dual purpose, i.e.
- both warez and phreak. Devastation Phase One is a great example: huge Amiga/
- IBM/phreak/etc. I, however, was devoted to phreak/hack/etc. We did have a few
- busts actually, and the police were called in to trace all calls through Vicnet
- and some people I know were caught. We've got a few warez-monger type people
- here that have been busted for "pitting" (climbing into telecom phone pits, and
- hooking up straight to the lines) - and I had my knuckles rapped by my
- university. Phoenix's court case still hasn't been settled (he's had 35 of the
- 47 charges against him dropped). Comserve has finally made it down under, and
- they're footing the bill for the first year, allowing us to be on Comserve in
- the States for a while. Our telephone company (Telecom) is a government
- monopoly, and we've only just passed legislation to allow competition. The
- first carrier allowed will be a company called Optus. Call waiting,
- conferencing, etc. is almost standard here now.

- Censorship in Iowa
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- From: Mike Begley <spam@iastate.edu>
-
- Hi. I got your name from Erik Bloodaxe. He said you might be able to help us
- out with a minor problem we're having here. The computation center at Iowa
- State University will very soon institute a policy of censorship of a number of
- groups of questionable nature, specifically the alt.sex hierarchy, alt.drugs,
- and a few other similar groups.
-
- I wish to conduct a survey of the users of our computer system, but the
- university specificly prohibits mass mailings.
-
- I'm frightened by censorship, and I want to fight this as best I can. If you
- would be able to do this favor for us, you would be helping to fight electronic
- censorship and suppression of free expression.
