- _______________________________________________________________________________
-
- Welcome to Phrack Pro-Phile. Phrack Pro-Phile is created to bring info to
- you, the users, about old or highly important/controversial people. This
- month, we bring to you certainly one of the most controversial people (and
- handles) to ever emerge in the computer underground...
-
- Supernigger
- ~~~~~~~~~~~

-
- Personal
- ~~~~~~~~
- Handle: Supernigger
- Call him: SN
- Date of Birth: Years ago
- Age: Getting along in the years.
- Height: Medium
- Weight: Medium
- Computers owned: Commodore Vic-20, C64, Amiga, 386 Compatible
-
- How did this handle originate? Back in 1985, I had blueboxed to a bridge.
- Someone on there, for some reason, decided that he didn't like me, and shouted,
- "Get off, nigger!" He then proceeded to knock me off with a 2600 Hz tone. I
- immediately called back with something "un-2600 hz-able" and, when he shouted,
- "Get off nigger!" and blew 2600 hz, I then said, "I'm SUPERnigger, you can't
- knock me off, I've got the POWER!!" Fun, eh?
-
-
- How I Got Started
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Back in '82 or '83, I got a wonderful computer called a Commodore Vic-20.
- With that, I wrote a few irrelevant programs and played "Gorf!" a lot. Then, a
- friend suggested that I get a Commodore C-64 and disk drive for all the RAD
- WhErEz! it had.
-
- Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Then a friend showed me a
- 5-digit number you could put in after calling an access number, and it would
- put a call through for you! Imagine that! This, I thought, was the key to
- UNLIMITED WARES!
-
- Then, the new ware scene became tiresome and boring REAL quick. I had
- them all. New ones. Old ones. Middle-aged ones. I had wares coming out of
- my ass. Just when I was about to drop out of the scene, I saw a number posted
- on a board for InterCHAT (201), a multi-line chat system.
-
- That's where the cavalcade of fun and interesting endeavors began. That's
- where I met Sharp Remob, Lord_foul (DP), Dark Wanderer and other members of
- DPAK.
-
- Speaking of DPAK, the group was created when we found a glitch in the MCI
- access # that allowed any 14-digit code to work. We then made up the joke,
- "Today at 2:00 PM, DPAK Agents cornered an MCI official and said, 'You WILL
- give these people free calls!'" and proceeded to tell people about the glitch
- ("DPAK" came from Mad Hacker 312, who, when asked about obtaining non-published
- numbers, said, "Oh, you'd have to be a DPAK Agent to get that.").
-
- After that, DPAK was tracing people before Caller ID came out, finding and
- creating bridges, setting up an 800 # for InterCHAT (actually 2 if you were
- quick enough to catch the second one), putting out Sharp Remob's Social
- Engineering file, and other things that I had better not mention (I would go
- on, but I think I might frighten you.).
-
- I would have to say that I feel negatively toward "elite posers," people
- who claim to know things with the sole purpose of trying to seem "cool." These
- are the people you see boasting about how long they have been around (which is
- irrelevant), spurting out random acronyms when they have no idea how they are
- actually used, and trying to make something complicated and mysterious out of
- something mundane and simple. For example: "Hey dude, watch out, I may be
- listening in on your line right now with a DAMT," or "Oh, I'll just use the DRT
- trunk multiplexor to do a Random Interphase-seizure of the tandemized trunk."
- (Barf!)
-
- Also, I think this government crackdown really sucks. What sucks is the
- fact that the government is going after big NAMES instead of big -CRIMES-.
- Rather than stopping crimes, they just want to "show who's boss." A lot of
- innocent lives are being ruined. In fact, after this issue of Phrack comes
- out, I plan to lay VERY low because they will probably want to get me now that
- my handle was in a phreak/hack publication.

-
- Most Memorable Experiences
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- "It works! It works!!" -- when the 800 # for InterCHAT actually worked.
- If you called it, you remember. That took a lot of work...
-
- Also, at one point in time, every chat system in New Jersey was forwarded
- to InterCHAT.. That was truly hilarious. I strongly suggest, at this point,
- that everyone refrain from attempting these things. The consequences are a bit
- more serious now. But if you must, be VERY very careful.
-
- ...And, I would like to take this opportunity to clear up the "Free World
- II Incident" and other vague and unclear statements chronicled in Phrack 28.
- First of all, I -DID NOT- crash Black Ice BBS. In fact, some hick from Texas
- already stated to me that he wrote my name on the BBS when it was crashed. The
- same hick tends to lie and spread rumors a lot, so I don't actually know if it
- was him that wrote my name. Suffice to say that I didn't crash it.
-
- Secondly, and most important, Free World II BBS was forwarded to InterCHAT
- because Major Havoc was a complete and total ASSHOLE.
-
- I called his system and applied for access. When I tried to get back on,
- I found that my application had been deleted without so much as a notification,
- so I thought that the BBS hadn't saved it correctly and applied again. I found
- the BBS hadn't saved it correctly a second time, and when I tried to fill out
- the application once more, Major Havoc broke in and typed things like "Get the
- fuck off here" and "Hang the fuck up." I typed "Fine, have it your way" and
- proceeded to forward his BBS # to InterCHAT. You can't just treat people like
- that and expect nothing to happen.
-
- The opening message on InterCHAT said: "Until Major Havoc learns the
- meaning of the word TACT (dealing with people in a non-offensive manner), his
- BBS has been put to better use."
-
- (I had called the BBS in the first place to try to clear up wild rumors
- that The Blade had said were being tossed about on there).
-
- I hope this has cleared things up.
-
-
- Some People To Mention
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Sharp Remob : He showed me the wonders of Social Engineering. He is
- making the big dollars now.
-
- Lord_foul : I never realized how many people he was in contact with.
- Some pretty heavy hitters. He never let on how much he
- knew.
-
- Applehead : The best DJ in the phreak/hack world. Truly, in mixing
- records, no one is his equal. Seems to be able to
- mesmerize phone company employees into doing his bidding as
- well. Could these two things be related?
-
- Meat Puppet : "Money for nuthin, EVERYTHING for free." Why anyone would
- want 800 watts in their car I will never know.
-
- Lung C00kiez : He had the best conference ideas, like Want-Ad Fun and
- Operator Frenzy.
-
- *DETH*-2-*J00Z* : So much for political correctness. First person I know to
- theorize how to trace people before Caller ID came out.
-
- Dark Wanderer : Works for Sun Microsystems now. One of the few hackers I
- know that has a technical computer-oriented career.
-
- Krak Dealer : Takes consciousness-altering to the level of an art form.
-
- Squashed Pumpkin : The enforcer.
-
- DeeDee : The only cool bridge chick.
-
- Dr. Mike : Cool guy when he's not threatening his girlfriend with a
- knife.
-
- Gatsby : Gets the award for quick learner.
-
- orpheus : One of the true devotees of InterCHAT, and one of the few
- people I know who is actually interested in HP-3000.
-
- The whole InterCHAT crowd... Made modeming fun.
-
- I should also mention a group of NYC individuals at this time. I would
- mention their names, but certain legal situations preclude that. They showed
- me what someone can REALLY do with an in-depth understanding of many systems.
-
- Suffice to say that they are the creme de la creme, probably the only
- group up to par with DPAK.
-
- Oh, and I cannot, I MUST NOT forget to mention The Blade, who is truly a
- legend in his own mind.
-
-
- The Future
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- I see the future for hacking/phreaking as pretty bleak. Big Brother is
- watching. System Administrators are finally realizing that it is better to
- make your system impenetrable than to prosecute kids (I wish the government
- would realize this). If you combine these two things, there is not much to
- look forward to.
-
- In Closing...
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- As for the standard Pro-Phile question (are most of
- hackers that I've met computer geeks?), I have not met any phreakers or
- hackers, so I can't say if they are geeks or not. From phone conversations,
- some seem like geeks, some don't.
