Sysop/Co-Sysop of: RACS III (TUCBBS), Phreak Advisor: Sherwood Forest II------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuc started out in the BBS world in July 1980 when he first got hismodem, a Novation Acoustic. In August of 1981, Connection-80 of Stony Point,his first bulletin board, was launched into the BBS world. It started on aTRS-80 Model I, Epson MX-80 printer, 2 single density disk drives, a NovationAcoustic modem, and a home built auto-answer module. At the time, he didn'teven know what phreaking was, so it was a general public board. A softwareswitch to RACS III occurred on January 10, 1982, running until January 10,1985. The hard drive arrived a few months ago to build it to the board that itcurrently is. Members of the elite world which he has met include King Blotto,Lex Luthor, Dr. Who, Crimson Death, The Videosmith, Jester Sluggo, TheSprinter, Mark Tabas, BIOC Agent 003, Agrajag, Telenet Bob, Big Brother,Cheshire Catalyst, Egyptian Lover, Magnetic Surfer, Paul Muad'Dib, LordDigital, Sir Knight, 2600 Editor (Emanuelle Goldstein [sp.]), Susan Thunder,Modem Rider, Sharp Razor, Hertz Tone, The Flying Avocado, and The Ace. Hisphreak experience began in March of 1982 through the new board's softwarehaving a section called "Phreak-80". People started calling and payingattention to it, including one caller by the name of Susan Thunder, which ishow he personally began to phreak. She lead him around the scene whichincluded the infamous 8 BBS and to other people such as Larry Kelly. Some ofthe memorable phreak boards he was on included 8 BBS, MOM, OSUNY, The Private414 Board (as in THE 414's), Blottoland, The Connection, L.O.D., Plovernet,Pirate 80, Sherwood Forest I, II, and III, WOPR, IROC, Pirate Trek, Pirate'sI/O, Datanet, Stalag 13, A.I. Labs, and Hell Phrozen Over. He gives creditfor his phreak knowledge to Susan Thunder and the people that she put him intouch with. Tuc's work is as a computer and communications security freelanceconsultant. He's done lots of programming in basic for the TRS-80, andassembly language for the IBM 370. Tuc does hack and phreak, but with his employer's consent. Tucattends the Tap meetings in New York occasionally, but in the past he was aregular. He's attended all Phreak-Con's, he was an assistant editor of theoriginal Tap, and was a pioneer in the phreak world before blue boxing andAlliance Teleconferencing was common knowledge. Besides that, he was the oneon West 57th Street labeled "Scott Jeffrey Ellentuch". He was hard to find onthat particular program. Tuc has been involved with various groups in his lifetime including(in the order that he joined them) The Warelords, The Knights of Shadow, AppleMafia, and, at the same time as Apple Mafia, Fargo 4A.------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interests: Telecommunications (modeming, phreaking, hacking), martial arts (weaponry), radio controlled cars and airplanes, and video games.Tuc's Favorite Things--------------------- Women: A quiet evening with the girlfriend. Cars: MG-TD Kit Car. Foods: Anything vegetarian. Music: The Hooters, and any band he worked for. Leisure: Having just a "good old time".Most Memorable Experiences--------------------------Car ride with 8 phreaks in Tuc's VW Super Beetle at a Phreak Con.The Fargo 4A stunt (getting all Fargo, N.D. DA's to go home).Some People to Mention----------------------Susan Thunder (for getting him started)All those that helped him while he was coming up in the world (too many to mention)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuc is 150% against credit carding. He thinks that is out and outcriminal activity, something that is totally against the code of ethics ofphreaking and hacking. He also doesn't appreciate the fighting between phreaksthat occurs so often in the phreak world today. He thinks the modern communityis crumbling.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming inthe near future. And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees.Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider mostphreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? No names mentioned, but yes, a few ofthe ones he has met are computer geeks. Thank you for your time, Tuc. Taran King Sysop of Metal Shop Private
