-
- In reply to Swift Griggs ranting about my stupidity,
- (and disrespekt i recieved from the rest of the AOL community)
-
- Swift: the 'problem' in IP_MASQ which I reported was not meant
- to be considered a security problem, rather a notification
- of a potential problem, or at least this is what i was told.
-
- i stole this 'problem' from a evil hacker who works for the NSA.
- at the time, if i had been aware that the info i ripped from him
- was totally false, i would have said so in the letter.
- and believe me, if [named_removed] was awake more than 5 minutes
- a day i would be severely anal at him for informing me of
- this false intelligence.
-
- the main thing the hacker/phracker/aol community needs to
- learn from this event is that when giving information to be
- ripped, it should be correct. next time ill make sure
- to reword the context i have pasted with GPM properly.
-
- btw, i must apologize for the tabs in this letter, pico
- has proven difficult to use.
-
- i must go, i have to pry this gerbil off my flacid cock.
-
- thanks, and keep hackin!

- [ P51-02@0x2c: I have a question regarding a certain piece of hardware... ]
-
- It's a barcode scanner used at some terminals, such as public libraries. You
- plug it in between the keyboard and the computer, and when you want to scan in
- a barcode from a book being checked out or an item being purchased, you push
- the button on the SCANNER and it outputs the barcode in ASCII numeric just as
- if it had been typed in from the keyboard. So, now ya know.

- d00d, that's a s00p3r s3kr3t CIA, FBI g0vt. c0nspir@cY k3yb0ard f1lt3r!!@@!21
-
- Actually, your mystery device sounds more like the "box" that connects between
- the keyboard and a barcode scanner. The "SCANNER" connector is where you'd
- plug in a typical "wand" or "gun" barcode reader. Not much you can do with it
- by itself, IMO. Again, it might be something else, but that's what it sounds
- like to me.
-
- nate@millcomm.com
-
- --
-
- What this sounds like is the interface from one of the wand or
- lightgun-type laser barcode readers. These can be seen in action at
- some of the retail outlets around here for reading barcodes from
- clothing price tags or whatnot. One of those useful inventions that
- came out of turning 386's into POS terminals.
-
- It's probably useless without the accompaning wand, but you might keep
- it around and try to find the missing part.

- [ P50-03: Portable BBS Hacking by: Khelbin ]
-
- Dear Phrack,
-
- An old article of mine entitled "Portable BBS Hacking" appeared in Phrack
- issue 50 under the line noise section. In Phrack 51, a reader expressed that
- he/she was frustrated at not being able to apply the techniques that were
- described in my article. Please publish this response in Phrack 52
-
- Let me state right off the bat that "Portable BBS Hacking" was not
- written to specifically expose any one software-specific problem. Instead,
- the article introduced a potential security threat to all BBS software so that
- SysOps around the globe could check for such vulnerabilities and correct the
- problem if it was present. A 'mock' Renegade setup was used just because some
- software had to be used in order to explain the theory behind the attack.
-
- Now to address the frustrated reader who is obviously aspiring to become
- an ever-so-elite BBS-h4x0r! While I often enjoy toking on a crack pipe, this
- method was tested prior to writing this article. It was tested on Renegade
- 04-x quite some time ago (as the article had been written some time ago, but
- never published). I currently run FreeBSD 2.2.2, so I havn't been able to do
- any more testing to help you hack BBS' and become ph33red. *BUT*, I am sure
- that versions of THD ProScan (a utility to scan uploaded files for viruses and
- other problems) will foil this attack. I am also sure (just by what I remember
- of how Renegade works) that If you follow the steps that I gave you in Phrack
- 50 correctly, upload a file, and then the SysOp were to (X)tract files from
- that file into \temp that it would work. I am also sure that there are other
- packages out there other than THD ProScan that do the same thing, but not in a
- secure fashion. The methods described in "Portable BBS Hacking" will also work
- with these packages. I hope you weren't just having Renegade check the file
- integrity with pkunzip -t or just view the contents of the zipfile. Your
- response wasn't very specific so it's hard for me to be specific in this
- reply however, I can tell that you also enjoy an occasional joint of
- crack, so feel free to contact me sometime and we'll smoke!
-
- Yours Truly,

- What program do I have to use in order to read the Phrack Magazine?

- Thank you,

- Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Itai Dor-on and I am a system

-
- I got the phrack.com address from one of the subscribers on the
- firewalls@GreatCircle.COM mailing list in response to my inquiry on smtp
- exploits. (phrack 50)
-
- [ shattered:~/Phrack/50:~> grep -i SMTP * | grep -i exploit

- There are no SMTP related exploits in Phrack 50. ]
-
- I downloaded the file but it seems that it is encoded in a format which I can
- not read. I use windows 95/NT. I would like to know if there is a special
- viewer for the file.

- [ See above letter. ]
-
- Is there other informative information in the phrack.com site that is relevant
- to Security exploits in tcpi/ip

- Phrack is the best magazine of its kind I've ever seen !!! Maybe you could
- write something about tapping telephone wires in order to record data and
- fax on a portable tape recorder. I've read an article from Damnation that
- was pretty good, but maybe you could give me, and the other readers of
- course, some additional information. I'm also interested in hacking the
- E-mail server of my ISP in order to read my teacher's mail, so what kind of
- program do I need to do this ? I know his login but I don't know his
- password. I've got a terminal program called Dialog that doesn't seem to
- be very useful, but maybe you know a better one ?!? Now, my last question:
- I'm using CuteFTP to log on to my homepage's folder . One day I've found
- some write protected folders and files, so my question is how do I get
- access to these files and how do I go to other folders to which I'm not
- allowed to go (hidden,write-protected, etc.) ?
-
- Thank you very much in advance !

- put together...as a Linux user, it shall certainly be a very useful
- utility/resource for me...I just nabbed the 51st issue and it rocks thus
- far...downloading the other issues as I type this...just thought you might
- like to know ya got another reader who is overjoyed at getting off his
- lazy ass and finally reading yer mag which i've heard about in the past...
- Ezines never were something for me but i said fuckit and went for Phrack..
- your mag is the most informative and entertaining Ezine that i've seen to
- date (and i been on the 'net for 4+ years now...that might say something)

- I'd like to congratulate Narbo on his brief introduction to CCS7. I
- was begining to think that noone was interested in telecommunications
- anymore.
-
- [ Agreed. Note that we would very much appreciate further submissions of
- this kind. ]
-
- One thing I'd like to add for Phrack's Japanese audience is that they are
- the odd balls when it comes to signaling data links. While signaling data
- links are 56kbps in North America and 64kbps virutally everywhere else,
- Japan uses 4.8kbps links. Actually I guess we, in North America, are
- also a little odd at 56kbps but at least it's closer to the norm. :)

- oh yea..I know I'm not supposed to ask..but I don't have internet

- When I grow up I want to be just like you.
-
- [ Great! So, I'll see you at the next Klan-youth meeting? ]
-
- That said, can you walk the talk? If so, I have a challenge for you.
-
- [ 'walk the talk'? Note: This is email. Something you've mailed to a
- whiley bunch of knuckle-knobs. And quite possibly something that could
- be used to make others laugh at your expense. In the future, take the time
- to grammar and spell check your letters to minimize the emotional damage
- you are bound to suffer. ]
-
- I am a neophyte in the
- DarkSide,and need some help catching/avoiding a phreaker,hence the
- interest in your mag. He breaks into phone lines at home and work.
- Tapes conversations and interjects various rude noises on important
- calls. Do you have any ideas as to what I can/should do to protect my
-
- [ Sommy! ]
-
- privacy and catch this guy? If this is not within your realm of
- expertise, can you refer me to someone for whom it is?
-
- [ Try the PHONE COMPANY. ]
-
- Don't take my intial inquiry as anythng but an effort to become part
- of the hacker/phreaker world for the sake of my own protection. I
-
- [ For your own protection, I suggest NOT becoming part of *any* community.
- Live the rest of your life as a hermit inside a hollowed-out oaktree. ]
-
- understand there are many 'good' hackers in your world willing to offer
- assistance in this arena.

- Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

- First,thanks for the obvious hard work that goes into your 'zine.
- I guess I'm what you what you would call a "tryin' to be".
- I've got all the back issues and read some every day.I was just
- reading 51,and had to say that besides all the other great things in the
- 'zine,it's great to see some people still have a great f*ckin' sense of
- humor.

- Day in the Life of a Teenage
- Hacker:
-
- Story of My Current Non-Life
-
- By:
-
- Demonhawk
-
- I wake up, staring at the ceiling for ten minutes before my mother
- finally walks in and says, "Time to get up!" I stand and dress myself. Wearing
- the only thing that I can think of that I like, blue jeans and just whatever
- shirt looks best at the time.
- I go and comb my hair (walking to my mom's end of the trailer house to
- use that bathroom because mine doesn't have a mirror, nor a sink, nor more
- than 10x10 feet of space). I walk back to my room and get my books ready for
- school. The block schedual makes my backpack EXCRUTIATINGLY heavy on B days
- while on A days it is light as a feather.
- I lay down-most of the time-and go back to sleep. Others I turn my
- computer's monitor on and type something for a while (my mom says it is bad to
- leave your computer on all night, WRONG! Little does she fuckin' know it is
- better to leave it on!). It is time to go to school and my mom drives me to t
- he middle school (Connally Middle School) where I go in and play on the
- computer suntil school starts (get there 30 mins early).
- I go to my first class, still groggy from the little rest I had the
- night before while I lay awake in my bed pondering what I could do to the
- school's computer system. The recenlty installed network (Novell) was
- supposedly student proof (little do they know). I have the software and I
- could hack it easy. Crack the passwords that the teachers think they are so
- smart to have one that a student can't guess.
- I think about the consequences of hacking 'em, then realize that it
- would be stupid to hack 'em, after all, I am the only one smart enough on the
- computers to hack em. I can crack Windows passwords (easy) with a boot disk
- (or even booting into dos).
- Last year, I will remember angrily, I remember how I got a bum wrap
- for crashing a teacher's computer. I was on it then absent for a week and then
- come back to find out all fingers were being pointed at me. I got kicked off
- the annual "good kid's" Six Flag trip and that REALLY pissed me off.
- Then, as the first period teacher begins to yell something like "Get
- to work!" (I am in shop first period) I wake up and realize I had been
- thinking. Most of the period I will talk to my friends about hacking (the
- two-maybe three-friends I have in that class) and they will ask me computer
- questions and I will answer them (and if I don't know an answer I will make
- one up, after all, they have no idea how to use a computer to its full
- limitations).
- After a few more minutes of thinking I realize a virus will be the way
- to go. The only problem is putting it on the computer. How? Well, maybe if I
- can get access to a teacher's computer while she/he is out of the room. Yeah,
- that would be the only way. But the witnesses (who am I kidding the kids up
- there would LOVE to see the computers crash, in fact, I have been offered
- $$$MONEY$$$ to crash em). I think about the virus idea for a moment. Yeah,
- that is the way to do it. First period is over. I move to my second class. It
- is a no brainer (on both of the days) and I have a lot of time to plot out my
- plan. Trojan Horse. Yes, or maybe Darth Vader...as a calling card. Yeah, that
- would be the way to go. The Trojan Horse virus followed up by the Darth Vader
- virus. Yes. Well,
- I have one of those two. Now lets think here. How to gain access to the
- computer at school. The teacher looks at me and tells me to "get to work!"
- and I look at him/her and reply, "But I am already finished!" and they leave
- me alone. But, maybe I should wait until I am in High School (when the entire
- district will have the internet) and I could port in and leave the virus.
- Yeah, that would work, I couldn't be blamed since I wouldn't go to the Middle
- School any longer. That is a possibility.
- I cheat at my math for a while (copying the back of the book for some
- easy answers) not because I am dumb, hell no, I am in Algebra I in the 8th
- grade for Christ's sake! No, I am just lazy, except when it comes to the
- computers. Second period is over.
- I walk to my third class of the day, an hour till lunch when I get to
- talk to my ENTIRE 5 friends at one time (there are some almost friends in this
- group, people I get along with and, yes, on occasion like to hang around with).
- You see, I am a "nerd" and proud to be one! Now, this is the thing. I am not
- just ANY nerd, I am a nerd with RED hair and fairly THICK glasses with THICK
- frames (I want contact lenses that have mirrored silver on the outside but I
- am not allowed to have them for some fucking unknown reason).
- I do my work, hoping that lunch will come, and eventually it does. I
- walk down the halls meeting a friend or two along the way, getting pushed by
- hicks that don't think computers are "cool". (Just as something that made
- people think I did a speech in Drama class on how computers are gonna crash in
- 2000 because of the Millenium Bug. One kid almost pissed in his pants when I
- told them safty systems on Nuclear power plants might go offline and how that
- all cars with electronic timers that shut down until an inspection won't run.
- Plus power might go out, I think that made them appreciate computer freaks
- like you and me just a LITTLE more since WE are the only ones that can save
- them from that hideous fate!!)
- I am laughed at because I run and internet Star Wars club (The
- Conflict at www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/9875 ). But they don't laugh when I
- tell them I can hack into the school's computers. They look at me dumbfounded
- and then make some smart ass remark. I look at them for a second and walk away,
- I know they don't understand how much of a computer GENIUS I am. Well, to tell
- the truth I am NOT really a computer GENIUS. Well, in some ways I am. I mean I
- CRAVE knowledge like I CRAVE food when I am hungry and water when I am thirsty.
- I can't get enough computer knowledge, I ALWAYS need more (currently I
- am learning C, C++ JAVA, JAVAScript, Visual Basic, and QBasic <----I forgot
- most of what I used to know on that one)
- I eat my lunch (usually Nachos but sometimes Lays potato chips and an
- ice cream) and then go outside where I get an RC Cola. The bell rings and we
- are all herded back inside the main building where we suffer out the rest of
- the day.
- I make it past the rest of 3rd with no problem. Then comes fourth. It
- is a little nerve racking to sit there while time slowly slips by, waiting for
- that bell to ring so that you can be set free of this hellish place.
- The bell rings and I leave the school, heading outside where the buses
- load. Mine is the last and after an hour or waiting it arrives (thank GOD I am
- the first one off) and I go inside my nice, cool house. I turn my computer on
- (if it is off) and begin my homework (I lie about having homework so that I
- can play on the computer without being touched by my mother). I wash the
- dishes and water the dogs. Then I sit down and play on the computer a little
- bit.
- I get on the internet a little while later. I learn a LITTLE more
- hacking and play some games over the internet (ain't technology wonderful???).
- I am far from being an 31337 hacker, but I am doing some good a little. I am
- basically a newbie but I can still hack Novell (childs play).
- After a while of this I take a shower and lie down in bed, dreading
- the next day (unless, of course, it is a weekend).
-
- And that, is my Non-Life.

- Dear sir,
- First off, i think phrack is a wonderful publication, the best of its
- kind and better than most, if not all, of the computer related
- commercial publications. You and your staff are doing a great job and
- please keep up the excellent work :)
-
- [ So, we're better then 2600. Thanks! *That's* the validation we needed! ]
-
- That said, i have a request. I'm writing a paper on the hacking
- subculture and such a project would be, to say the least, severely
- lacking without the inclusion of groups like Phrack Inc., 10pht, and
-
- [ Phrack is not incorporated. And you mean `l0pht`. ]
-
- r00t. So i would greatly appreciate it if you could fit it into your
-
- [ You are already severely lacking. You failed to mention the guild. You
- even forgot b0w. ]
-
- doubtless busy schedule to send me a history of Phrack. It can be as
- brief or as in-depth as youd like. From just the date of creation and
- pivotal events in Phrack history to a summary of every passing member's
- contributions to the publication.. anything you can send will be an
- asset to me. Also, if you or any of your staff members would be so
-
- [ I'll get some of my interns right on that. Alhambra! Get to it! ]
-
- gracious and godly-wonderful as to answer the few questions below that
- would also be greatly, GREATLY appreciated.
-
- Q: What is your most commonly used handle and why did you choose it?
-
- [ `route`. Cos I thoroughly route my foes. And also cos I route through all
- my girlfriends' purses when they are in the bathroom. ]
-
- Q: What is your position at Phrack?
-
- [ I AM PHRACK. ]
-
- Q: When did you realize you were a hacker(or phreaker, cracker,
- whatever applies to you)?
-
- [ It is something you are born with. It is not something you learn. There
- is no single moment of realization. It is something you just `are`. It
- is this unexplicable and inexorable pursuit of knowledge. To learn. To
- break. To fix. To push. To optimize. To learn. To hack. ]
-
- Q: What do you think hacking is Really about?
-
- [ Oh c'mon man. Chicks and Money. That's what it ALL boils down to. ]
-
- Q: How do you think the 'scene' has changed, and where would you like
- to see it go?
-
- [ See P48-02a ]
-
- Q: If you could say anything to the community at large about hacking,
- what would it be?
-
- [ Um. Most of what you people consider hacking is simply a justification or
- shield for doing illegal acts. ]
-
- One last thing, do you know where(email, www address, whatever) i
- could contact current or former members of 10pht, r00t, or any real
-
- [ Um. Let's see. http://www.l0pht.com. http://www.r00t.org. And so on.
- You're not a very smart person. ]
-
- group (ie: not one of the lame new groups trying, unsuccessfully, to
- copy the greatness of the older groups)?
- Any response, including negation so i can search elsewhere, would be
- greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

- I recently read about the ancient ftp bounce attack. I have tried it and
- it works on versions of ftp that are lower than wu-2.4.2. Here's what I
- do.
-
- [Receiving Machine no system req's except write access]
- TYPE I
- PASV (Give's IP then port)
- STOR
-
- [Sender Machine w/ver 2.4 or lower]
- TYPE I
- PORT <reciever's IP and port that was shown in the PASV command's output>
- RETR <filename>
-
- [Receiving Machine]
- Binary Mode Transfer Started
-
- It then goes on to get the file.
-
- But...
-
- If it is a wu-2.4.2 ver computer, the sender machine says Illegal PORT
- Command, when you type the IP and port of the receiving computer. You can
- only do a PORT command that includes the IP address that I am coming from.
- Sorry to say I don't know how to do any kind of source route or IP
- spoofing, although I'd be interested to hear if this was the only answer,
- and am not sure if there is a way to get around this.

- Hello there :)
- Probably u don't know who I am ...
-
- [ Definitely. ]
-
- well, I'm an italian boy and I wish to say ya one thing ...
- You're Great.
-
- [ Oh. C'mon now... Really? ]
-
- I've just start to reading Phrack (the last issues) and I guess that it's
- a very cool wonderful zine.
-
- [ Get out. You think so? ]
-
- Why am I tell ya this ??
- Well, since I think that one person is as ya ... well he's great.
-
- [ Now stop that. I'm really getting embarassed. ]
-
- I'm trying to learn something from ya (and I shall overcome .... I hope :) )
- I'm interesting in hacking .. but I'm not like some other ppl that always ask
- "How can I be an hacker ??" "where I can find something to became root"
- I guess that they haven't understood nothing
- The REAL HACKER (for me) is an expert, has an etic and he hack to learn
- The knowledge is one of the thing most important in the world (the other ones
- are the GIRLS =) )
- So I won't ask ya how to be an hacker ... (even cause you'll propbably say me
- FUCK YOU ;) )
- we're so far but maybe one day we could meet :) to share our knowledge
-
- [ Wait a minute. Are you coming on to me? ]
-
- Well, Thanx a lot and excuse me for all the time you spent to read this letter
- Excuse me also for my terrible english
-
- [ NP. Luckily Aleph1 was over, so he translated for me (`course, then I
- needed someone to translate that, too). ]
-
- Cool and great stuff has Phrack =)

- Hi, i noticed that you fixed up your web page, and thats nice, but my
- probelm is, that when i downloaded the phrack 51 issue, it came like this :
- " phrack51.tar.gz " so,....what kind of program do i use to open it?
- Can you just put all issues in zip format? That would help us all!

- Hi,
-
- I sent you an email a while back asking you to forward a message to
- an author of one of your articles, since he wanted to remain anonymous.
- However I never got any reaction either from the author or from you.
- It's really important for me that I find him to discuss some
- techicalities.
-
- The article was; "How to make your own telecards"
- Volume Seven, Issue Forty-Eight, File 10 (and 11) of 18
-
- Did you manage to send the email off to him successfully?
-
- All I want is for him to contact me on this address (raven@swipnet.se).
- If he wants to remain anonymous he could easily create an email account
- on www.hotmail.com or another service of that kind.
-
- It would be very nice of you to forward this email to the author of
- the article and reply to me wether it was sent successfully or if it
- bounced back.

- Hi,
- I've been reading a-lot of phrack zines lately and seeing your name
- in most of them, I thought your the best to answer my questions ???
-
- To become a hacker where do I start ?
-
- [ New Zealand. Or at least as far away from CA as possible. ]
-
- What books should I read ?
-
- [ Anything by Stevens/Knuth or any of the millions of smarter-then-you people
- out there. It's a safe bet that, if they wrote a book, they're smarter then
- you. Very safe bet. Like, Fort Knox safe. ]
-
- What languages do I have to learn ?
-
- [ English is a good start. ]
-
- Which sites are the best to go to for information on hacking
- (including newsgroups) ?
-
- [ Anything in the alt.* hierarchy is a good plan. It's ALL *choice*
- material. ]
-
- I've only started hacking and that's into applications on my
- computer and my friends computers.

- Hello!
-
- Sorry for borring you, but I've some problems with L2 on FreeBSD-2.2.1R
- and decide to ask you about some tech details.
-
- The problem is that 'loki' unable to receive ICMP_ECHO packets from
- 'lokid'. I dig through kernel netinet sources and AFAIK, there is no way
- to pass ICMP_ECHO packets to userland. In ip_icmp.c we have:
-
-
- ICMP_ECHO->icmp_input()->icmp_reflect()->ICMP_ECHO_REPLY->icmp_send()->net
-
- So, there is no chance to receive ICMP_ECHO in application program, isn't
- it?! Unfortunately, I've no access to Linux box, so I can see what's
- hapen there.
-
- [ You are correct. In the accopmanying paper I allude to this problem. Net/3
- based stacks will not pass ICMP request packets to userland. ]
-
- Is there are any workarounds? I can patch my kernel, but I think this is
- not right way. What do you think about this?
-
- [ Running the client and daemon on Net/3 boxes is a problem. ]
-
- p.s. The idea of patch is simple - create copy of packet's mbuf via
- m_copy(), send it to rip_output() and only after that pass original packet
- to icmp_reflect().
-
- [ Cool! Write the patch up and I'll publish it in a future issue. ]

- After reading Phrack for years and being in the computer industry for
- 18+ years, I thought it was time that I write in. I have been reading Phrack
- for about 6 years now. Even talked to Erik Bloodaxe a few times in
- regards to Banyan Vines a couple of years ago when I was in the military.
- The scene seems to have changed so much now. It used to be full
- disclosure for the most part. Now everyone is so paranoid of sharing what
- they know, since everyone will rush a patch out for the latest exploit.
- How do you think others learned? Hacking is and always will be about
- exploring the limits of systems and networks. As you learn and share,
- others can expand their knowledge base. I started back on Atari 400s
- years ago coding in BASIC. I know many will laugh at that very thought,
- but it was a start. The groups back then were very tight, but also
- willing to help each other. If you showed a willingness to learn, and
- took the time to learn, instead of just leeching, it was amazing what
- others would do to help you.
-
- I have been digging through tons of sites lately, most are outdated hacks
- from what I have seen. Most places patch as fast something hits the `Net.
- But at least you can learn from the code if you take the time. I want to
- sends congrats out to Phrack. You guys along with a handful of others make it
- a point to keep sending things out to us in the community. One of the
- comments I am sure to hear is, then why don't you contribute things? I have
- not to Phrack directly, but that will change soon. I don't have a lot that is
- that great, that hasn't been patched for already. Mine is more tinkering and
- learning. Anyway, I am sure I have rambled enough for now. Just thought I
- would give my $.02 worth. Keep up the good work at Phrack!

- I am looking for a REALLY good telenet software and an also REALLY good
-
- [ I like the telnet software that comes with 4.4BSD. ]
-
- scanner software. Can you refer me anywhere?
-
- [ Scanners was a terrifiing movie! Why would you want to scan someone?!@ ]
-
- I also would like to know how you decode the password in the passwd
- file.
- For example it writes:
-
- john: x :9999 :13: John Johnson:/home/dir/john:/bin/john
-
- [ 'x' is a shadow password token. It cannot be decrypted. Futhermore:
- Unix passwd encryption is based on a modified version of DES. The user
- enters her login and password at the prompts. The user entered password is
- used as a key to encrypt a 64-bit block of NULLs. The first seven bits of
- each character are extracted to form a 56-bit key. (The other eight are
- used for parity.) This implies that only eight characters are significant to
- a password. The E-table is then modified using the salt, which is a 12-bit
- value, coerced into the first two chars of the stored passwd. The salt's
- purpose is to make precompiled passwd lists and DES hardware chips
- ineffectual (or more difficult to use). Then, DES is invoked for 25
- iterations on the block of zeros. The output is 64-bits long, and is then
- coerced into a 64 character alphabet (0-9, A-Z, a-z, ".", "/"). This
- involves translations in which several different values are represented by
- the same character. Unix passwd crypts are the product of a one-way hash.
- Information about the key is dropped in every iteration. Bits are LOST in
- the process. crypt(3), therefore, CANNOT be decrypted, reversed, or
- otherwise subverted from any type of scrutiny of it's output. ]

- a story of adolencent revenge..by a not so adolencent at 3:37 am
-
- [ Be warned. This is long. ]
-
- So here i sit surrounded by an ashtray full of butts, empty beer cans, empty 2
- liters, a giant pile of papers, a stack of cd's, dirty dishes, tangled cords,
- red and green lights, the ticking of the furnace and blurred vision. Just got
- back from the pool hall and pissed off. why? because an old friend is getting
- married tomorrow and I was not invited. Well WAS a friend is more to the point.
- Betrayal in any form is a great primer for hatred. I am a twenty something
- (hate that fucking phrase) loser with no clue on what the future holds..but I
- find pleasure in figurative masterbation with MY processor. Match wits with
- this bitch, tell IT what to do and make it my slave...cheap thrill. Having
- power over something or someone is great while it lasts..as long as you do not
- have a concience. But I was wronged, so it is justified..my actions I mean...
- right? My girlfriend is asleep upstairs and thinks I sit up a nights doddeling
- to porn sights. I tell her that my pc is not working right, so that is why I am
- always working on it...that fucker bill gates. If he was a smart as the world
- beleives he is, these activities would not be so easy. Back to the point.
- (sorry! had a few too many). So I sign on...search for allies, find them among
- other assholes that have somehow learned one of my handles. My buddies are up
- to some funny shit, not total anarchy, but funny none the less. So what do I
- do...I tell them that I am in a bad state of being at the moment..they ask why,
- "Time for pain!" is what I read. You know how it is. A friend since first
- grade on through college just fucked you for the 100th time. I feel sick about
- it, but none the less it's time to put to work the tricks of the trade. I give
- my TRUE friends the skinny on my intentions, they ablige with laughter and
- frothing mouths. I cough up his SS#, home, phone, bank, work, license, and
- online accounts. Too late to turn back now. It's funny how one will actually
- take the gas pipe for virtual strangers that one has formed an online bond
- with, and will enlist them in a sceme to fuck a real time friend. (ex-friend).
- Number one, divide up the tasks. Number two, failure is NOT an option. N!umber
- three, ruin wedding. So here we go...secretary of state was a blow off, no
- brainer. PhoneCo a bit tougher (but been there before). Bank..oh the bank..
- online banking 24/7 was such a good idea. My collective cohorts and I were
- like pitbulls fighting over the neighbors cat. Giggeling like schoolgirls. HEY
- we are elite! or so we think..most of our shit (not all) was built by others
- before us. We did modify code, but the backbone was not our own. Now it is
- 4:30 am and the shit is flying...after reading the "underground" being a
- martyr seems cool. My head is spinning, but I have to remain focused at all
- times..it is hard. Account activity...money is due to the banquet facility
- tomorrow. At least the balance of the shindig after the initial deposit. Check
- numbers and cleared transactions. He has no fucking clue! The best part was
- that he had mentioned writing a check for his balance only one day before....
- but the amount owed was not cleared yet on his account. So time to insert!
- --0.00 balance. Too easy. OK, fine. Just a bounced check to deal with. Phones
- turned off (schedualed termination for lack of response to notices sent). Oh
- yeah..did I mention Utilities? Bank takes care of payment...how convenient.
- Car payments, insurance, mortgage the whole nine. Zip, Zero, Zed. A repeater.
- Constant (0.00). I am an asshole, I know, but being fucked by a 'FRIEND" is
- troubeling and unforgivable in this situation. One more thing..Company Voice
- mail...fucked. Left a text to speech recording to boss, too funny and
- implicating to dillhole. It's like giving beavis and butthead a small piece of
- gray matter that works for only bad things. I should of been invited to this
- wedding, but never the less, he is marrying a whore. This may sound vindictive
- or like sour grapes, but totally true. So actaully we are doing him a service,
- he just does not know it. The "ruin the wedding" part is actually out. It will
- happen and the avalanche of our actions will not start until the following
- week. But at least i did something, right? What a stupid thing to concentrate
- on. I am an idiot with things I should not have. Most of my collective friends
- are striking political targets...I am bouncing a check. But I am over it now.
- Time to sit back and wait...wait for the phone call from a mutual friend to
- give me the dirt. I guess I am the type of guy that would get a boner if I
- reset his sprinkler timer to go off when he is trying to get in his car.
- Totally retarded, but I would laugh for days. Whats wrong with me? I am now
- sitting here in my self-made dungeon scratching my head saying to myself "boy
- that was way harsh". I know some people would pose the question, "what did he
- do to desrve this type of retaliation?". You know what it's like, you have
- been there at one time, and everyone reaches a point where counter measures
- are warranted. Case closed. What we did was but an inconvenience, but will be
- remedied. Nothing was left beyond repair. It's at these times! (no matter how
- trivial) you find out who is willing to take a bullet for you. And in some
- fucked up way, that is important. At least it is to me. it's 7:49 am and time
- for the sandman.

- Where can I find ways to make Long Distance phone calls without getting
- billed (and prefferably without making any boxes?)
-
- [ A phone line for which you do not pay the bill. ]
-
- I'm not an idiot, I just thought I'd ask. :)
-
- [ Is that open to conjecture? ]

- To Whom It May Concern:
-
- I enjoy reading your stuff in Phrack and I pay attention to those stuff
- that is writen about unix reading stuff. I am just wonder if there is any way
- to play tricks or hack linux 1.2.13. It also runs pine under it and I think
- there is a trick with .rhosts in pine and ls /tmp. Could you please tell me
- more stuff about this?? I could download the /etc/passwd file but then I have
- to use a dictionary to hack it and is there away of hacking it without using a
- dictionary?? And how do I delete my last login file?? Thanks!!

- [ Linux 1.2.13 is one of most inpenetrable versions of Unix out there today.
- Not only is the Linux O/S reknown for its stalwart and inpenetrable security
- but the 1.2.13 kernel was where Alan, Eric, Linus and the rest of crew
- peaked. That kernel revision is all-but immune to every known form of
- attack (with the possible exeception of quantum state disassembly). Your
- best bet is to kill yourself now. ]

- How ye all doin there at Phrack, hope your all keepin well.

- Anyways before I say anything I'll admit it, I'm a newbie, not a lamer a
- newbie. I've read all the hacking files I can get my hands on. There's only
- one small problem...I live in Ireland. A few weeks ago I was given an article
- written by "Hackwind" (1992 I think) about the hacking scene in Ireland.
- Believe you me. It's even worse than he says it is. The main problem is that
- all the files written don't relate to Ireland in any way . I don't even know
- ONE bbs in Ireland and NO ONE I have spoken to does either. I don't expect you
- to know much about the hacking scene in Ireland but if you do know anything,
- anything at all could you please send it to me. I'm dying for information.
- Information that I can't get my hands on. If you don't know anything about it
- perhaps you know of some contacts.
- Please let me know. Cheers,
- N0_eCH0
-
- PS. Keep up the good work at Phrack.

- Daemon9,
- Hi! I'd like to ask you a very common question. Maybe everyday you have
- received mails asking it. Yes, what I want to know is how to become a great
- hacker.
-
- [ Swing from the shoulders, not from the arms. ]
-
- I am a freshman in university. I wanna to be a hacker, not for doing
- damage to others, but in my own view, being hacker require a lot of
- knowledge and creative. I aim at knowledge and want to find out new tech,
- while not just using others'. In fact, I have read many articles about how
- to become a hacker. And I have done them.
- Now, I have mastered C, unix shell, and some of TCP/IP.
- So what should I going to learn if I want to be a great hacker like you?
-
- [ If you have mastered the aforementioned topics, you are far greater then I. ]
-
- I am learing socket programming and IP-spoofing now, do you have any resource
- on the net to recommend to me?
- Please write me back. Hoping to hear from you soon.

- Daemon9,
- Hi, I forgot to ask you another question. Should I join a hacker group?
- And have you joined it? If so, please tell me which group I should join.
- And the mailing list, which one should a hacker join in your own view.
- Hoping to hear from you soon!

- [ A few letters to nirva and I. I swear to GOD these aren't made up. I
- *couldn't* make stuff like this up. ]
-
- Hey Route,
-
- I was wondering if you knew what colours Nirva dyed his hair for
- defcon and who made the dye, I was also wondering if you had a copy
- of LISP lying around somewhere. Are you going to the KMFDM concert
- this friday by any chance? I was wondering if you have ever been bust
- for hacking or phreaking and how you manage to hack with the constant
- surveillance by the man? Also if you don't mind telling me, how did
- you get into hacking and did you have a mentor at any stage?
-
- Ciao and thankx

-
- Hey Nirva,
-
- I was wondering how you got Real Kitty to drink coke out of those
- bottles from McDonalds (or is he just chewing on the straw). I was
- also wondering who Mike is currently going out with, not to mention
- you as well? If you could do me a favour and try to convince Mike to
- give me some webspace as well, I would really appreciate it.
-
- Thankx and Ciao

- Hey Mike,
-
- How would you like to win a date win with carmen electra, if you
- would like to, go on over to durex.com and there's a link from there
- to the american site with the entry form to win the date, and being
- such a brilliant hacker I don't see how you couldn't manage to rig
- the contest ;)
-
- Thankx and Ciao

- Arggh , think of me what you will, but i Can't get over a pic on yer
- site of nirva, prolly one of the l33t3st looking individuals i've seen,
- in personal appearance (no, i aint gay), but anyway .. what are those
- things on his arms ? I saw that photo with the caption "nirva has
- rickets" or something, but are they implants ? ie part of his
- image/appearance or where they sum sort of weird disease he picked up ?
-
- [ Due to the vitaman-D embargo of 1975 - 1978 in New Mexico, nirva contracted
- the rare disease osteomalacia (rickets). He has it mostly licked these
- days thanks to heavy amounts of vitamn-D laced EMF radition treatment he
- undergoes 2 times a week. Every now and then, however, he lapses, as you
- can see from the aforementioned picture. ]

- tah man .. great page btw
