What are some organizations of interest to hackers? Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CPSR empowers computer professionals and computer users to advocate for the responsible use of information technology and empowers all who use computer technology to participate in the public debate. As technical experts, CPSR members provide the public and policymakers with realistic assessments of the power, promise, and limitations of computer technology. As an organization of concerned citizens, CPSR directs public attention to critical choices concerning the applications of computing and how those choices affect society. By matching unimpeachable technical information with policy development savvy, CPSR uses minimum dollars to have maximum impact and encourages broad public participation in the shaping of technology policy. Every project we undertake is based on five principles: * We foster and support public discussion of and public responsibility for decisions involving the use of computers in systems critical to society. * We work to dispel popular myths about the infallibility of technological systems. * We challenge the assumption that technology alone can solve political and social problems. * We critically examine social and technical issues within the computer profession, nationally and internationally. * We encourage the use of computer technology to improve the quality of life.

It is a member-supported, nonprofit group that grew from the conviction that a new public interest organization was needed in the information age; that this organization would enhance and protect the democratic potential of new computer communications technology. From the beginning, the EFF determined to become an organization that would combine technical, legal, and public policy expertise, and would apply these skills to the myriad issues and concerns that arise whenever a new communications medium is born. Memberships are $20.00 per year for students, $40.00 per year for regular members, and $100.00 per year for organizations.

Some of us are programmers, who worry that such monopolies will obstruct our work. Some of us are users, who want new computer systems to be compatible with the interfaces we know. Some are founders of hardware or software companies, such as Richard P. Gabriel. Some of us are professors or researchers, including John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Guy L. Steele, Jr., Robert S. Boyer and Patrick Winston. "Look and feel" lawsuits aim to create a new class of government- enforced monopolies broader in scope than ever before. Such a system of user-interface copyright would impose gratuitous incompatibility, reduce competition, and stifle innovation. We in the League hope to prevent these problems by preventing user-interface copyright. The League is NOT opposed to copyright law as it was understood until 1986 -- copyright on particular programs. Our aim is to stop changes in the copyright system which would take away programmers' traditional freedom to write new programs compatible with existing programs and practices. Annual dues for individual members are $42 for employed professionals, $10.50 for students, and $21 for others. We appreciate activists, but members who cannot contribute their time are also welcome. To contact the League, phone (617) 243-4091, send Internet mail to the address league@prep.ai.mit.edu, or write to: League for Programming Freedom 1 Kendall Square #143 P.O.

Alt.2600 is a Usenet newsgroup for discussion of material relating to 2600 Magazine, the hacker quarterly. It is NOT for the Atari 2600 game machine. Len@netsys.com created the group on Emmanuel Goldstein's recommendation. Emmanuel is the editor/publisher of 2600 Magazine. Following the barrage of postings about the Atari machine to alt.2600, an alt.atari.2600 was created to divert all of the atari traffic from alt.2600. Atari 2600 people are advised to hie over to rec.games.video.classic. 02. What does "2600" mean? 2600Hz was a tone that was used by early phone phreaks (or phreakers) in the 80's, and some currently. If the tone was sent down the line at the proper time, one could get away with all sorts of fun stuff. A note from Emmanuel Goldstein: "The Atari 2600 has NOTHING to do with blue boxes or telephones or the 2600 hertz tone. The 2600 hertz tone was simply the first step towards exploring the network. If you were successful at getting a toll call to drop, then billing would stop at that point but there would be billing for the number already dialed up until the point of seizure. 800 numbers and long distance information were both free in the past and records of who called what were either non-existent or very obscure with regards to these numbers. This, naturally, made them more popular than numbers that showed up on a bill, even if it was only for a minute. Today, many 800 numbers go overseas, which provides a quick and free way into another country's phone system which may be more open for exploration." 03. Are there on-line versions of 2600 available? No. 04. I can't find 2600 at any bookstores. What can I do? Subscribe. Or, let 2600 know via the subscription address that you think 2600 should be in the bookstore. Be sure to include the bookstores name and address. 05. Why does 2600 cost more to subscribe to than to buy at a newsstand? A note from Emmanuel Goldstein: We've been selling 2600 at the same newsstand price ($4) since 1988 and we hope to keep it at that price for as long as we can get away with it. At the same time, $21 is about the right price to cover subscriber costs, including postage and record keeping, etc. People who subscribe don't have to worry about finding an issue someplace, they tend to get issues several weeks before the newsstands get them, and they can take out free ads in the 2600 Marketplace. This is not uncommon in the publishing industry. The NY Times, for example, costs $156.50 at the newsstands, and $234.75 delivered to your door. Section E: Phrack Magazine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 01. What Is Phrack Magazine? Phrack Magazine is one of the longest running electronic-based publications in the world. Originally founded in 1985 by Knight Lightning and Taran King, it has survived several incarnations of editors and still remains true to its underground roots. Since its inception, Phrack has been providing the hacker community with information on operating systems, networking technologies and telephony, as well as relaying human interest features of interest to the international computer underground. During its lifetime, Phrack has always been at the center of controversy. Since the magazine has always been openly available, it presented law enforcement officials with what they percieved to be a direct link into the secret society of computer hackers. Not truly understnding either the the spirit of the magazine or the community for which it was written, Federal Agents and Prosecutors began to target Phrack Magazine and those affiliated with it. "The Hacker Crackdown" by Bruce Sterling relays the details surrounding some of these events. Phrack Magazine is now in its 10th year of publication, and is registered with the Library of Congress as ISSN 1068-1035, and is protected by US Copyright Law. 02. How can I reach Phrack Magazine? You can reach Phrack by email at: phrack@well.com, phrack@fc.net or phrackmag@aol.com. These addresses are listed in order of preference. Only AOL users should email the phrackmag@aol.com. Phrack can be reached by the postal service at: Phrack Magazine 603 W. 13th #1A-278 Austin, TX 78701 03. Who Publishes Phrack? Phrack Magazine is published by Chris Goggans, aka Erik Bloodaxe. It is hobbled together, touched up, spell checked and compressed on an overworked 486-66. It is then ftp'ed over to a BSDI UNIX machine where it is sent to the masses. 04. How Often Does Phrack Go Out? Phrack goes out roughly quarterly. It is often sent out later than every three months due to other more demanding obligations faced by its editor. The regularity of Phrack is really based upon the amount of information sent in. Phrack depends solely upon submissions to get published at all. 05. How Do I Subscribe? To subscribe to Phrack magazine, merely email phrack@well.com and ask to be placed on the mailing list. Any encrypted subscriptions requests will be ignored. Phrack will not accept subscription requests from any anonymous remailers or from sites in the fidonet domain. The anonymous remailers consistently bounce our mailings causing a big headache, so we won't use them. The fidonet domain administrators have asked us not to mail Phrack to fido users, because of the huge load it places on their outgoing spools (costing them a lot of money to send). 06. Why Don't I Get Any Response When I E-mail Phrack? Because of the high volume of mail sent to the Phrack email address, not everyone gets a response. All subscription requests are saved and added to the master list, but there is no automatic reply. All other messages are responded to as they are read, with the exception of PGP'd messages. All PGP'd email is stored for later decryption, and is almost never responded to, unless it is incredibly urgent. 07. Does Phrack Cost Money? Phrack Magazine charges a registration fee of $100.00 per user for any professional use of the magazine and the information contained therein. Information regarding this registration fee is contained at the beginning of every issue of Phrack. 08. How Can I Submit Articles? Articles are both wanted and needed. Phrack only exists if people write for it. There is no regular writing staff, there is only the editor, who cannot write the entire thing himself. Articles can be sent to Phrack via email or snailmail (on paper or IBM-compatible diskette). Articles should be in ASCII text format. Do not include any clever graphics or ANSI art. You can use Phrack's PGP key to encrypt articles, but send the files in the ASCII armor format. Please try to avoid sending files as MIME-compliant mail attachments. 09.

Where Can I Get Back Issues? Back issues of Phrack are found on many bulletin boards around the globe. The only OFFICIAL Phrack Magazine distribution site is our ftp archive at ftp.fc.net in /pub/phrack. There are NO official distribution sites other than this one, nor will there ever be. We don't want to play favorites and let one particular BBS call itself an "official" site while another isn't. Therefore, there will be no "official" sites except those archived by Phrack itself. You can also get back issues on the World Wide Web by connecting to: http://www.fc.net/phrack.html This URL allows users to view issues online, or pull them down for later viewing. Any users without net access can send diskettes and postage to the Phrack Postal Address given above, and request back issues to be sent via the postal system.

UUDW Union of United Death Workers 02. How do I determine if I have a valid credit card number? Credit cards use the Luhn Check Digit Algorithm. The main purpose of this algorithm is to catch data entry errors, but it does double duty here as a weak security tool. For a card with an even number of digits, double every odd numbered digit and subtract 9 if the product is greater than 9. Add up all the even digits as well as the doubled-odd digits, and the result must be a multiple of 10 or it's not a valid card. If the card has an odd number of digits, perform the same addition doubling the even numbered digits instead. 03. What bank issued this credit card? 1033 Manufacturers Hanover Trust 1035 Citibank 1263 Chemical Bank 1665 Chase Manhattan 4024 Bank of America 4128 Citicorp 4209 New Era Bank 4302 HHBC 4310 Imperial Savings 4313 MBNA 4317 California Federal 5282 Wells Fargo 5424 Citibank 5410 Wells Fargo 5432 Bank of New York 6017 MBNA 04. What are the ethics of hacking? An excerpt from: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy Access to computers -- and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works -- should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On imperative. All information should be free. Mistrust Authority. Promote Decentralization. Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position. You can create art and beauty on a computer. Computers can change your life for the better. 04.
