In this issue, he contributes info on some phun terroristic things to do. Take it away....! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Jungle Survival --------------- By: Digital Destruction (604) Hello once again, ATI freaks, it's me again with some more hints to get you through those pesky situations which always manage to mess up your dinner reservations...This time, Jungle War Tactics. Has there ever been a time when you were taking a leisurely walk through the Amazon jungle only to realize by way of a note pinned to a tree by a spear that you were being stalked by headhunters? At that moment I'll bet most of you said to yourselves 'Gee, I wish I knew some Jungle war tactics!'..Well Here's the break youve been looking for. Knife trick: ------------ To kill your enemy by way of excruciatin pain, use this method. Sharpen many hardwood sticks, and plant point-up in a patch of land -on a trail, for instance- and cover in fesces. Then cover it all with leaves or something and when Bongo and Umgala come after you, they will step on the sticks, get driven into their feet (And if they fell their bodies), and if that dont kill em then blood poisoning from the feces will. Pond Trick ---------- If you can find a very still pond, you can plant the sharp sticks in this, but you dont have to, and then cover with grass, leaves etc. They will think it is land and SPLOOSH. Well, those two tricks should do it. (I cant think of any more!) So until next time, Hasta! 'Good Time' Tear Gas -------------------- By: Digital Destruction (604) Okay everyone, it's time to cook! It seems to me, that an insurance seminar just wouldnt be any fun without some good potent tear gas. Am I right? Well anyway, As I was walking through my local K-Mart I was approached by the King, Elvis himself who instructed me by divine intervention to write this file so here goes. To make real potent tear gas, it's relatively simple. Ingredients: ------------ 2 lbs. of red pepper seeds A handy-dandy Popeil Percolater A perfume bottle or Binaca Blaster Procedure: ---------- Place seeds, 1/2 pound at a time and perk (perk?) for an hour or two. Scoop the seeds out and you will have about 2 tablespoons of the most potent resin I've seen. Put this with a little Tabasco in a squirter and there ya go. The seeds can also be reused for fun... The next time you go see 'Camille' in the movies, toss a few off the balcony! Hee Hee....Anyway, this is Digital Destruction telling you, when the earth collides with the sun, try to stay out of the backblast. The Calcium Carbide Grenade --------------------------- By: Digital Destruction(604) Ya know, one of the things I like about this country is that anyone can build their very own anti-personell grenade using store bought everyday materials. In this file I will discuss how to build one of these babies. It should be known that when this grenade is exploded it produces a cloud of thick grey smoke 40 feet in diameter hovering 3 feet above the ground in which nobody can see or breathe with just a hint of shrapnel to top off the event, so I wouldnt go throwing it at your local boy scout parade for a 'good laugh'...Procede with caution... There are still a lot of angry Indians left over from Bhopal. Ingredients needed: ------------------- 250 grams of Calcium Carbide (You can buy this stuff in any hardware store as lantern fuel) 1 Coca-Cola can (Washed and dried) 1 100ml test tube (pyrex) 1 rubber cork Duct tape Procedure: ---------- Funnel 180-250g of Cal. Carbide into the can so it is about 1/4 full. Then, remembering to keep it AWAY from water, put aside. Fill test tube to 100ml and cork. MAKE SURE the outside of this is COMPLETELY dry. Any excess water on the cork or outside of the tube will make YOU an instant victim! Then, carefully insert test tube into hole in top of can so it rests on bed of C.C.. Drop dots of wax around opening to hermetically seal opening, and wrap the whole thing in duct tape. When thrown, upon impact, the test tube will break, scattering water all over the C.C. creating a gaseous reaction resulting in 600lbs per square inch of pressure which will last about 5 seconds. the can will explode, shrapnel will fly and the gas will go. Here is a picture of how it should look. ------ffff--- ! ff ! ! !! ! ! !! ! ! !! ! !WATER>!! ! ! !! ! ! !! ! ! !! ! ! () ! !CCCCCCCCCCC! !CALCIUMCCCC! !CARBIDECCCC! ------------- Remember. Carbide gas is a cancer causing toxin and is fatal. Now you have your own anti-personell grenade! Won't Mom be surprised! Have fun.....And be careful. Until next time, VIVA REVOLUTION! Mall Terrorism -------------- ..Phun things to do in the vast malls of Suburbia, by The Happy Hacker and Digital Destruction 1. Get 500 mg gelatin capsules and fill about 100 of them with high- potency suds. Also fill about 30 capsules with red Jello mix. Dump all the capsules into the large fountain that is the central part of many malls. The time necessary for the capsules to dissolve and wreak their havoc will be sufficient for you to make a non-hasty exit from the area. 2. Take a penny, and wrap a (1/4") strip of litmus paper. Wrap that in a foil gum wrapper, making sure the penny, litmus paper and the foil all touch each at some point. You now a crude version of an electronic theft device! Place it in a plant next to the security "towers" at the exit of the store. The alarm will keep going off, and no one will be able to figure out what's setting it off!! 3. Phun with Mannequins! Try these! a. Put Groucho Marx glasses on them. b. Switch wigs on male and female mannequins. c. Make them hold signs with revolutionary quotes on them. d. Stand next to mannequins and stay still. Pretend to be one! 4. If you are male, go to the women's makeup counter and demand service. 5. Put comdoms over security cameras, of course avoiding being seen by them before/while doing so. 7. Computers! Write a short BASIC program that spews obscenitites or other annoying propaganda across the screen of a display computer in a store. Here's an example of one for a Commodore 64: 10 PRINT"(CLR HOME)" 20 POKE 53281,0:POKE 53280,0 21 INPUT"PRESS ANY KEY FOR DEMO!":A$ 22 IF A$="" THEN 22 23 PRINT"(CLR HOME)":PRINT:PRINT:PRINT: PRINT 24 PRINT"(CNTRL-2)THERE ONCE WAS A GIRL FROM VERMEETH" 25 PRINT"THAT LIKED TO CIRCUMCIZE GUYS WITH HER TEETH" 26 PRINT"NOT FOR THE MONEY" 27 PRINT"AND NOT FOR THE GLORY" 28 PRINT"BUT JUST FOR THE CHEESE UNDERNEATH!!" NOTE:Where the prg says "(CLR HOME)", you will actually type SHIFT and the CLR HOME key. A symbol of a heart encased in a box should be displayed. Where the prg says "(CNTRL-2)", you hold down the CNTRL and the 2 key. Run the program, and watch the unsuspecting comsumer become apalled at the off-color limerick! 8. Phun in the parking lot! a. Redirect traffic with orange traffic cones. b. (You need a few people for this one) Go past all the newer model cars, giving each a healthy shove while passing. This should result in an infinite number of car alarms going off at once! 9. Pranks in the Electronics Dept! a. Put porno flick in display VCR. some other very offensive commedian in a cassette deck. 10. Mix smut books in with other books being sold at the bookstore. Also, if they have a display window, replace one of the displayed books with the most bizarre smut book you can find. 11. Pay F0ne Phun! a. See a crowd of annoying mall rats congregating around a pay phone waiting for one of their buddies to call them and tell them their parents have gone out and it's ok to have the troop of degenerates over for a Megadeath listening party? No problem! Go to the pay phone across the hallway and watch them curse angrily with screams of "What da fuck?!?" as you direct an SSCU to constantly call that number and say "Hello, Hello, Hello..." b. Pull underneath rubber covering by the handset of a pay fone and locate the red wire. Strip it, then cut it. The pay phone will accept coins, but won't connect any call after someone has paid for it. Go back the next day and twist the spliced ends of the wire together. Voila! You have hit the jackpot, and should receive every coin that has been insereted into the phone since the red wire was cut. c. Put a rubber spider, or something equally disquieting in the coin return slot of a pay phone. Stay nearby and watch your surprised victim retrieve it!! 12. Here are some standard names you can have paged in a depeartment store: a. Connie Linkus b. Dick Hurtz c. Mike Hunt d. Ben Dover e. Jack Meoff 13. Take a powerful magnet, preferably a bar magnet, and hold it in your hand as inconspicuously as possible. Walk over to a video game in progress in the mall-rat infested arcade and hold the magnet in back of the machine. The screen of the video game will be disrupted, to the suprise and dismay of the players and spectators, until you remove the magnet. That's all the terroristic pranks we can think of at the moment. But be on the lookout for Mall Terrorism, Part 2 in the near future! ###################################### And now, on a more cheerful note, a poem from Ground Zero in my room ---------- i lie alone the world speeds on victimized alone i lie hope's not here i've no reprieve the walls preach doom the walls deceive but do they lie? my mind's awry in discontent i wonder why the darkened night removes my sight i face my doom alone in my room %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% News From the Front.. **** POSSIBLE DATA LOSS 00 21J **** (Hehe, just kidding, there was no Telenet packet-switched-induced data loss. Just GZ's sense of humor..) Doc Telecom/Raider update: They are going for another Superior Court Review this week, where a "deal" will be offered to Doc and Raider by the prosecution. With any luck, they will be offered 1 year's time, with the chance for parole in a short time. By the way, Doc and Raider were featured in an article about hackers that appeared 6 weeks ago on the front page of the New York Times. A hacker from New Jersey called The Wasp was busted in connection with the Livermore Labs breakin. The feds paid him a nice friendly visit. More on this in future issues. Be kind to your children: The news tonight had a piece regarding Yuppie- type parents who push their children too hard. One mother mentioned made her son participate in about 8 after-school activities, which took up at least 2 hours of after-school time each day. The activities were curtailed only when the 9-year-old boy displayed strange physical symptoms such as headaches, and constant colds, which are typical symptoms for overworked children. A psychologist descibes how parents who overwork their children feel: that their chldren are status sysmbols, and they should be pushed to "succeed" so that the parents can boast of their childrens' endeavors. AT&T, MCI, British Telecommunications LC, France Telecom and Western Union are all co-owners of TAT8, the first fiberoptic trans-oceanic cable. TAT8 went operational last month, support- ing a capacity of 560M bit/sec. Look forward to better international connections! ;) Smart Cards: How Smart? Smart cards are wallet-sized plastic cards with microprocessors built into them, and they are on the rise. They are widely used in France and Japan, and it is reported that Visa and MasterCard are making deals for millions of dollars worth of cards. Smart cards are so widely used in Japan that the country's Minister of Finance is investigating how their widespread use is affecting the nation's money supply. Since the microprocessors built into the cards contain information on the cardholder, there is no need to access a network to verify transactions. This makes the smart card useful in credit card and calling card applicaions. However, they are beginning to be applied to other uses. The National Security Agency recently signed contracts with three companies for devices that utilize smart cards to protect government computers against hackers. The devices, called low-cost encryp- tion/authentication devices (LEAD's) utilize a smart-card system in which the microprocessors on the cards contain a large amount of personal data on the user, logon sequences and security data which specifies the level of access the user has. The user would logon to the computer system by inserting the card into a reader attached to the terminal in use, then enters his password when the machine validates his card. Neat, huh? These measures are designed to screen out unauthorized users and encrypt data passed across the Defense Data Network (DDN). It seems that the jingoistic blood is starting to stir again. Our gov't is openly threatening to bomb Libya.. ..again! Threatening to violate international law, and thumbing its nose on world opinion, our gov't prepares to once again commit a terroristic act in an attempt to stir up a faltering nationalism in our country. But how many more innocent Libyans must pay for this if it is to be carried out? @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ The AIDS Info BBS - Worth A Call..
