But with Defcon, my trip to Hawaii, and my procrastination, it almost had to come out this late. So this issue is for both July and August, but by next month we'll be back on track with our normal issue-a-month goal, hopfully. This issue is mainly Defcon stuff, but maybe you'll find some other interesting stuff in here for you. Yet another three more articles by Jolly Spamhead. The guy just won't stop. But all in all, this is a terrible issue and you should stop reading right now! Go! Save yourself! --- linear (linear@phonelosers.net) ______________ ______________ < ______________ > We Came, We Saw, We Were Escorted Out < ______________ > \______________ > linear's Review of DEFCON8 < ______________/ \_____________< by linear >_____________/ There I was. Friday, 11:59, and I was in Summer School. Dammit! If it wasn't for my dumbass failing Algebra (yea, i failed Algebra. Shut up.) i could have left Thursday and been partying at Defcon by now! Ah finally, 12:00 hits and my ass is out of there. I go home to get my shit together, and then it's over to Tuttle's. I pick him up at about 12:30, say bye to his dog, and we're on our way. Ah, Las Vegas. At temperatures of 112 degrees and up, it's not the ideal place for a convention held in the middle of the Summer. But I guess it's not up to me. We check into our hotel room, a pretty shitty place, and go out looking for Alexis Park, home of Defcon2000. It wasn't hard to find, we just had to follow the trail of pasty white kids with cool hair. As we walk our way through the pool area, Tuttle notices a guy wearing a Phone Losers of America shirt and points him out to me. I recognize him as el_jefe (zak) from PLA fame. I decided that if it was that easy to spot el_jefe, finding rbcp would be a breeze, and don't bother asking el_jefe about him. el_jefe has no idea who I am anyway. That was a mistake. We pay our $50 each and get our official Defcon passes. Oh how I wish I still had my pass so i could scan it and show you all my neato name on the super-cool Defcon pass. But unfortunately, it will never be seen again (I'll get to this later). Now that we're in, we should find rbcp. We look, and we look, and we look. He's no where to be found. But we did run into Jc and StrLit (his girlfriend) in the "Haxor Speaking Room". He was a dumbass though. He didn't want to do anything cool. He stayed for a few speeches and then left for the day. What a jackass. After watching some speaches we decide to wander around the place. The rave room was cool, but pretty empty, The Capture The Flag/People Sitting Behind Tables Selling Their Shit (TM) room was the happening place to be so it seems. We hung out in there and bought a few things, then on our way out I ran into Short Circuit. I had never seen the guy before, had no idea what he looked like, but for some reason I knew instantly it was him. He a certain aura to him I guess. We talk to him about Noam Chomsky, Zines, Abbie Hoffman, and what-not for a while and get some food. On are way through the convention, we get a discussion going about Linux, BSD, and BeOS with some guys sitting at a table. One of them is burning a bunch of CDs (anything you asked for, he could get it) for everyone. I start talking to him and request a few CDs, and look down at his pass to see what his name was. It was LiNERR0R! I had talked to this guy a few times in the PLA Discussion list, and always hated how everyone confused the two of us because our handles are so similar. We talk about that for a while and kinda hangout. Then 11:00 rolls around and it's time to watch Hacker Jeopardy. Some guys from attrion.org made up one of the teams. All throughout the show I was yelling out things like "attrition sucks!" and booing them, even though I actually like attrtion. I had the idea of throwing the cup of water I had on one of their faces, but it was just a joke. Then we realize it would be cool to do a prank like that, and we remember that Cult of the Dead Cow would be speaking the next day. If there was a prank to be done, surely, these are the people to do it to. We would silly string cDc during their speech on saturday! The plan was made. At 3:00 the convention was pretty much dead, so we gave Short Circuit a ride to his hotel, and me and Tuttle stopped to get breakfast at Denny's or some such similar place. The food sucked, and we were tired. We went to the hotel and crashed. After little sleep, we were at Subway to get a bite to eat. After That we drove all around Las Vegas looking for a place that sold Silly String. After finally finding some at a Wal*Mart, we bought four cans and headed to the convention. The anticipation was terrible. It would be a few hours before cDc was to speak. We watched a few other speakers give insanely boring speeches on such dull topics as spoofing IPs in Linux and what not. Finally, we found ourselves frontrow of the cDc speech. "We already know there is no way we can beat last year's show, so we're not even going to try. So this should be rather uneventfull" And then two losers pop up and spray down the cDc with Silly String. We run for the doors, only to be stopped by Security, kicked out of the convention, and stripped of our Defcon passes. We hung around the pook area (this was not an official part of the convention so we couldn't be kicked out of there) until the speech was over. Short Circuit (who got to stay since he refused to help us out, the bastard) told us that the cDc told everyone that they payed us to do it once we were kicked out. Damn. Then I saw Death Veggie of cDc walking are way and asked him where my payment was. He just kinda smiled and said, "come with me guys". So we followed. I wasn't too sure if he was pissed or not, until he started saying how cool it was that we did that! He took us back to the cDc room at the convention and he gave us cDc embroided patches and some COLAVision.com shirts (?) and all the other guys there told us how cool it was and how unexpected and all. Then they asked if we wanted to sign the "Cult of the Dead Cow Bible". It was crazy, cDc, a group that's never ceased to amaze or inspire me, was telling ME that I was cool, and asking ME to sign the cDc Bible! We took a few pictures with them and left. We never got our passes back, but did manage to sneak into the convention. As Tuttle and SC hung out around LiNERR0R, I decided to walk into the Capture The Flag room. Some guy noticed I was wearing a PLA shirt and offered me some free PLA stickers. I looked at him and recognized that he was Logic Box of System Failure (retired PLA-influenced zine) and friend of rbcp! "Logic Box?" "...Yea?" "I'm linear!" "whoa! rbcp has been looking for you all day!" He leads me to rbcp, and I get to meet the father of all things Phoneloser for the first time. We talk for a while and I take him over to Tuttle, SC, and LiNERR0R. We all hang out for a little bit and get pictures of rbcp and Logic with that weirdo Carolyn Meinel of HappyHacker.org, just because she's dumb. We didn't get to hang out long with rbcp because me and Tuttle had to leave that day (too bad we couldn't stay all three days). We said goodbye and were headed back to boring old Upland, California. And that was that. Soon I should have some pictures of the event posted on the site, so watch for those. See you at DEFCON9! --- linear (linear@phonelosers.net) ______________ ______________ < ______________ > Hacker Jeopardy, cDc and Silly String < ______________ > \______________ > A Newbie's Review of DEFCON8 < ______________/ \_____________< by Harry Tuttle >_____________/ Day 1: The Journey Well well well. Where to begin. It all started when linear came to pick me up that fateful Friday afternoon. We started out on the road to Las Vegas at about 12:30, though I can't really remember because it's been a week since Defcon and I've probably forgotten a lot. Anyway after a few hours of Jerky Boys (who suck I might add. rbcp is much better.), Rudimentary Peni, and Noam Chomsky cd's, we were there. Las Vegas in all it's hot and sleezy glory. One especially memorable thing was the sign at our hotel advertising the amazing "XXX Hypnotist." Wow! The first wonderful thing that happened was when I spilled the remains of linear's strawberry milkshake on my hand. So now it's 112 degrees and I've got sticky milkshake on my hand. Defcon had better be good dammit! We drive around for a while looking for the hotel and then we spot some nerdy people with what look like name tags around their necks walking around. We must be on the right track. So we find the Alexis Park Hotel and pull up. I can imagine what the mainstream media would say (actually I've read some articles and they did say things like this). "Hacker convention full of multi-colored hair, piercings, and laptops." I felt right at home. On our way over to the main table I hear "Hey Emanuel!" and this guy with a hat and long hair turns around to talk to someone. linear says to me "Hey, that's Emanuel Goldstein...media whore!" Anyway were standing in line to pay and there's some activity next to us. "Hey, I don't care if you ARE speakers and are on in 5 min. You have to get a pass" Hehe, sooo organized. Once we had our passes we went off to check out exactly what was going on. The pool was surrounded by hot and sweaty people (well it was in the 100's) many of them wearing all black. Only a few were swimming. Then we realized we should also be looking for rbcp because he should be here. Were about to go back in and I see a guy with a PLA shirt on but we don't ask him if he's seen rbcp. Damn. Once inside we see dozens of people with their lap tops plugged into the walls. We have to watch our step as we creep down the hall. Since we have no idea where we are going - we open the first door. Wow, full of even more nerdy people with computers (well that is the point of defcon). Tables were set up around the walls of the room while capture the flag (trying to hack into the other guys computer without getting hacked yourself) took place in the middle. Lock picking booths, subversive literature like _How to Steal an Identity_ and _How to Break and Enter_. The room next door had a speaker talking about how to get your privacy back from corporations by making a new identity. His name was John Q. Newman and I took notes and ended up buying one of his books. A little farther down the hall was the ‘rave' room. Now when I think of raves, although I've never been to one, I think of drug induced orgies of loud techno and chaos. This had the loud techno but hardly anyone was in there. Except for the few hardcore guys who knew how to dance with glow sticks most people just stood around. I guess people don't come to Defcon for the music. Well at about 11:00 Hacker Jeopardy started. I knew some of the questions. The ones that didn't have anything to do with hacking. The way it went was that whenever someone got a question wrong they had to drink a cup of beer. Another plus was that the Vanna White role was filled by Bad Kitty from badkittycam.com. Every time a contestant got a "daily double" right they got to take off an article of kitty's clothing. Unfortunatly there were only 4 daily doubles that night and the people from attrition.org got one wrong. So linear had the idea of throwing water in their faces. Actually he had that idea before they messed up the daily double. So we started thinking about a prank like that. Then linear though "hey, Cult of the Dead Cow is talking tomorrow, they're a lot more well known then attrition. Lets do something to them.....Something like silly string....hmmmm." So the idea was born, we were going to silly string cDc. Day 2. After about 5 hours of sleep we were up, out the door, and on a journey for silly sting. Finaly after about 3 stores Wall Mart had some. Once we got to Defcon we began plotting our prank. We thought that we would probably get kicked out but we had to leave that day anyway. Also, there was going to be the media there and we could get publicity for our site so it would be worth it. cDc was gonna talk at 2:00 in the Haxor room so we went in there at 1:40. It was packed. Once that speaker was done they told everyone to get out so they could set up. Fuck, now what are we going to do. I know, lets just walk around like we are leaving but not actually leave. So we made are way up to the floor right in front of the stage. By that time they stopped caring if people left. It was perfect, we were as close as we could get. We saw this lady who was with the media who had wanted ideas for pranks from us last night. So we told her what we were going to do and she filmed us while we discussed the plan. The guys who were setting up kept saying "if you guys are going to sit here you have to be ready to get wet." We also heard that cDc threw blood into the crowd at H2K and that they have pyrotechnics. By that time silly string didn't seem like a big deal anymore. But it still had to happen. So then they start coming up and sit down. One of the guys says "we can't beat last time so we won't even try, this will be uneventful." Right after he said that we jumped up shook the bottles and sprayed them with two bottles each. Then I took a hand full of UPL cards(who's the media whores now? We are!!!) and threw it into the crowd of media people. We made a run for the door and were stopped by some lady. "Hey, shouldn't you be kicking us out? Why are you stopping us?....Aren't you part of the show?....No....hey, you should get us out of here....Don't worry, we will...you're out of the convention...Get these guys out of here" So we were escorted out of the room and had to give up our badges near the pool. We went inside the lobby because it had a tv showing what cDc was talking about. One of them was pulling pink silly sting out of his hair. We were saying stuff like "wow, we did it...look at them....cool" This guy behind us probably figured out that we had done it and wasn't very impressed. "Whatever" he said. Then we went to the door to see if cDc was gonna come out. Short Circuit (who was carrying a broken laptop that a guy in a gurilla suit had thrown on the floor. There were also guys in Grim reaper suits throwing fake meat into the crowd) told us that they said they paid us to do it. There was this guy who was covered with fake blood walking out. Now I'm kina glad we left the room. So when one of them came out we asked for out money. He said he would give us some stuff. So we talked with him (his name was Death Veggie) and he gave us cDc patches, a shirt and had us sign the cDc bible. I can't believe it, they wanted OUR signature. They were really cool and thanked us for spraying them. Later we would stop by and ask if they knew where our Passes were. Apparently Count Zero from cDc had them but he disappeared. So no souvenirs for us. Then we snuck back into the convention a few times to talk to LiNERR0R and kept getting kicked out. But the security guards were cool. Everyone was cool, except that lady who kicked us out. She was the only lame one there. We brought out our red boxes and tried them on the phones. LiNERR0R whipped out his kick ass custom lineman's hand set and tired to beige box the wall because one of the payphones was ripped out (and some urinals were taken out because they were filled with cement...hehe). As all of this was going on I noticed that this guy kept staring at us. I had seen him earlier, he always kept to himself and didn't talk, just worked on his lap top. We thought he might be a fed. I was a little scared so I deleted the red box tones on my recorded. I asked LiNERR0R if he knew the guy. He didn't but said the guy asked him for something, something hacker related, so he was probably cool. Phew. Then it was time for linear to call his dad at the hotel to pick us up. He kept calling and calling but no one picked up. Finally I saw his dad at the other side of the room looking at us and snickering. He motioned to not let linear know he was there. But finally I told him. His dad had been doing pranks on us the whole time, too. Damn Him. Well wondrous Defcon was over for us. The next day I was on the net looking for articles on Defcon that mentioned us. None. God damn it. Oh well the prank was still fun. But this guy we met did have an article all about him with his picture so that was cool. So here's the review part. It was cool. You should go. Yah. What a shitty article. Now you know that you should never read an article with the word "newbie" in the title. --- Harry Tuttle (tuttle@phonelosers.net) [note from linear: hrm, i think tuttle totally remembered things incorrectly and out of chronilogical order. Most the stuff he described happening on the second day (aside from all the cDc stuff) happened on the first day, at least that's how I remember it. Well, read my review. ] _____________________ ____________________ < _____________________ > This Thing Called Defcon < ____________________ > \_____________________ > rbcp's Review of DEFCON8 < ____________________/ \____________________< by RedBoxChiliPepper >____________________/ So I went to this thing called DefCon and now I'm going to write about it. We were stupid enough to book our flights with PriceLine.com which got us better rates but really crappy flight times and days. My flight left Illinois at 10:30pm on Thursday night and arrived at 1:00am Friday morning. LogicBox was supposed to meet me at the airport but he was 20 minutes late so I ended up leaving with these two old people who were there. Well, actually they were my parents. See, I had never met them before and this DefCon was my first time ever meeting them (long story). So I'm proud to say that I'm probably the only person who's ever met their parents for the first time at a hacker conference. I arrived at the Alexis Park Hotel on Friday morning and was lucky enough to get there before the registration line started wrapping itself around the hotel. I paid my money, got my badge and walked around in the lobby. I walked 2 full circles around the sitting area. Then I ventured outside and walked up to the pool. It got hot so I walked back inside for awhile and got a Coke for the low low price of $2.00, tax included. Then I walked around the eating area in circles and back into the lobby. I walked over to the pay phones and slapped some PLA stickers on the phones. Then I walked around the lobby some more for a few minutes. Much later I walked out the front doors and discovered that I could hang a right, walk along the side of the building and get into the lobby through the side doors or from the pool area. So I did this a few times and then did it again in reverse. Then I walked around the pool area, through the courtyard and to another pool, around that pool and turned around, then repeated the process. From there I walked a few more circles in the hotel lobby. This is where I started to get kind of bored. I walked up to a guy standing by a wall. "Hi, are you here for Defcon?," I asked. "Yeah." "Cool." I walked back down the hall towards registration so I could walk around the registration lines and see if I knew anybody and a DefCon Goon was like, "You can't go in there!" and I said "It's okay, I'm RBCP!!" and he threatened to take away my badge and throw me out. So I had no choice but to go down the street to Subway and have something to eat. I got a footlong sandwhich on white bread, turkey, lettuce and mayo and a large Pepsi. It was really good. On the way back some nerdy kid beat me up for looking stupid. That really sucked but only lasted for a few minutes because I pretended to be unconscience. I went back to the hotel and made a bunch of phone calls to people who were supposed to be there but none of them answered their phones. After sitting around in the lobby for awhile, The Public and Nekid Amy approached. We walked around for awhile, went up to his room and I got to meet Zens who I hadn't heard from for awhile. Just an hour or so later I got a call from LogicBox who told me to come into the con room and find their table. Funny, because I'd already passed by his table a few times and had a look at the shirts they were selling but I guess we didn't notice each other. I went up to the table and stared him down until he said, "Oh, hi!" Pesto was there and broke into tears and started telling me how much he loved me and how cool I was and stuff. Then he jumped up onto a table and started dancing for me and that's when I left the con room forever. Okay well, that didn't really happen. Awhile later I met up with el_jefe and Apok0lyps and I walked around with el_jefe for awhile and finally told him that he was really boring and I was going to go find someone else to hang out with. That night we geared up for a huge party in barkode's room! We got all kinds of booze and black lights and a big-ass sound system. Then el_jefe came in and started dancing this scary jig in front of me and soon after that some dude's girlfriend puked all over the floor. Just as things were getting crazy I noticed that it was after 10:00pm which is way past my usual bedtime so LogicBox said I could stay on his floor at the Excalibur so I went there and went to sleep, however I DID stay up to nearly 11:00pm watching dumb 80's movies. Man I'm nuts sometimes. Throughout the weekend, me and Logicbox caused as much trouble as we could on the FRS frequencies. The FCC thought these channels would be used by a few family members at a time to keep in touch at the malls or while camping or whatever. I bet they never thought that a few thousand hackers would all be using the same channel at once. This made for some interesting conversations with people we didn't know. We kept yelling at everyone to get the hell off OUR channel. They would yell back that it was THEIR channel. We would tell them that we bought the channel from the FCC just last week and we had the receipt to prove it. They would start yelling obscenities and playing tones at us. It was like being on a conf. only on a much larger scale. We also yelled at girls when they came on the channel, told them that girls didn't know how to use radios, girls belong in the kitchen and not at hacker cons, girls shouldn't be wasting time on the radio when they could be pleasing a man. Needless to say, the girls didn't think this was very funny. Hmm, so that's about it for my DefCon experience. I finally got to meet linear but it took so long to find him that by the time we met it was almost time for him to leave. Damn you, linear! By the time you read this review I should have my DefCon pictures up so visit my home page at www.phonelosers.org/rbcp and follow the links. --- RBCP (rbcp@phonelosers.org) _________________ ________________ < _________________ > HOPE2k - HACKERS ON PLANET EARTH < ________________ > \_________________ > RTF's Review of H2K < ________________/ \________________< by Rufus T. Firefly >_______________/ Yes! HOPE 2k. 2600 Magazine's very own hacker con. Running from Friday, July 14, through Sunday, July 16. The east coast's answer to Defcon. It was easy for me to get there, what with living an hour away from the city (New York,) and since I'm the only UPL guy out here I was representin' on my own. And represent I did.. DAY ONE ~~~~~~~ Okay, I was looking forward to H2K for months. I had never actually gotten up off my ass and went to one of these before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew that if nothing else, I wouldn't miss a minute of it. So, of course I overslept by about 4 hours. At any rate, I got there at around noon on Friday. The con was at the HOtel PEnnsylvania, right across the street from Penn Station. (Nostalgic types note: this is the place you get if you dial PEnnsylvania 6-5000, in the 212 AC.) I had been planning to meet up with some of my pals from the NYC 2600 meetings, but I didn't recognize anyone right away so I went straight in. There were 3 different tracks of panels and events, so I took in a couple. Soon I bumped into my pals Compudroid, Nitephreak, and Zenostrifer, and we milled around a bit. In addition to the panels there was a terminal room with a bunch of dumb terminals running on a T3 line round the clock, a combination network room and flea market where everything from t-shirts to stickers to security stuff were being sold, as well as an impressively jury-rigged network containing just about one of each kind of computer made since 1982, and a big conference room where the movies and such would be shown, as well as some panels, and music and DJs when nothing else was going on. At this point, my pals and I were sitting in the big conference room while they were setting up some lighting and DJ equipment, and we became really interested on what was on the magnetic stripe that was on all our H2K badges. Bizarrely, nobody at the con had a magstripe reader, so Compu and Zeno acquired an armload of parts from Radio Shock and set about building a piece of broken equipment to try and read something off the stripe. Later, we were in an elevator with well-known previously incarcerated hacker Bernie S. Upon hearing that we were interested in the stripes, and had just expended a chunk of spare time and energy trying to get something together to read it, he calmly replied, "Oh, there's nothing on them." How did he know, we aksed? "I made them." Grrr... Around this time we met DeadRinger, a cool fellow with fangs who happens to live in the same town as me. Small world! DeadRinger, it turned out, had actually sprung for a hotel room at the Pennsylvania. (I hadn't taken a room, planning instead to hop a train home and back when necessary.) So we hung out there for a while, playing with his scanners and his big souped-up Beige box he installed in a plastic toolbox. Later, I broke off from the group to take in some air (they all smoke, I don't) and some more panels. I met up with my pals Gonzo and Simon Magnus, and later my pal Sergey. Soon, we lost Simon, who had to split for some reason, and Sergey hadn't arrived in time to register so he had to investigate a way to get a pass (he didn't sneak in at all, no sir) so Gonzo and I hung around on line for 2600's film premiere, Freedom Downtime. This premiere will live in infamy in the scene for many years to come. After the big room was filled to capacity, the line was diverted to another, smaller conference room where panels had taken place. It took something like an hour for them to get the movie started, since they were having trouble getting the patch through to the other suite. Spirits were high regardless, and random songs and shadow puppets broke out occasionally during the wait. I snapped a cool photo of a big movie screen showing taskbars and error messages. It didn't come out that great, though. And then there's this movie... to say it kicked ass wouldn't begin to do it justice. For those who don't know, it's a documentary 2600 has been making for the past 3 years or so on the high-profile hacker cases involving Bernie S. and Kevin Mitnick, as well as just hacker-dom in general. For info, hit http://freedomdowntime.com as I just don't have room to satisfactorily go into it here.. After the flick, Gonzo, Sergey, and I went for some fine dining at Chez McDonalds, and we split up for the night. I hung around out front for a while. (The con pretty much owned the sidewalk in front of the Pennsylvania for the duration, with all us weirdos hanging out and scaring the locals. This is where I gave away most of my UPL business cards.) Then I went to the terminal room, the idea being that instead of hanging out at home on Friday like a loser and IRCing all night, I could go to a once-every-few-years social event, filled with hundreds of people who share my interests, and IRC all night. I then retired to the big room, where the lights were low, a DJ was bustin' out a killer mp3 playlist, thin stage smoke hung in the air, and Winamp dominated the big screen. A few ravers were curling around the screen and swinging phosphorescent tubes. I might have joined them, but I was sure I'd somehow make waving my arms around in front of my face and curling in odd directions whilst swinging snap-n-glo sticks on strings just look stupid. So, I stretched across some chairs and turned in for the night. I have always prided myself on my ability to sleep in any position, under any conditions. Some huge speakers and a flickering Winamp skin two rows away were no match for me, but the next morning nobody would believe I didn't have chemical help. DAY TWO ~~~~~~~ After waking up around 8am in a nearly abandoned conference room, I wandered around for a bit, brushed my teeth in the men's room (with a toothbrush I grabbed earlier and snapped in half so I could keep it in my vest pocket, phear me. Of COURSE you wanted to know that.) I ended up back at DeadRinger's room for a bit, where Compu, Niters, and Zeno had crashed (and I mean crashed.) DeadRinger and the guys in the next room over were hanging out in the single room created when Compu, from what I gathered, had busted down the connecting door in a Jackie Chan inspired moment. (Why he felt the need to do this I'll never know, since there were only males in the next room.) Most of the combined residents of the two rooms were asleep save for me, DeadRinger, and Compu, and we threw stuff out the window and watched that action series with Hulk Hogan and some infomercials for a bit (DeadRinger's a big infomercial fan. I liked the one with the weight-loss guy who classifies overweight people into shapes. "You, lady, are a classic 'spoon,' while this guy is a 'funnel.'") I grabbed another hour of sleep on the floor, since everyone else passed out. That was the last I saw of DeadRinger, Compu, Zeno, and Nitephreak as they were kicked out the next day, reportedly for throwing stuff out the window. That's their story and they're sticking with it. After waking up I went upstairs to the conference room, met up with Gonzo, and we caught the "Old Timers" panel, featuring Captain Crunch and The Cheshire Catalyst. This was easily one of my favorite panels, and I had a flashback or two to the days of BBSing and PKZIPing text files under minimum compression to tweak my upload ratio. Crunch and Cheshire couldn't have been cooler. Later (or was it the next day? I forgotted) Cheshire even posed for a picture with me, which is cool for me but isn't saying much for him. He then took one of my business cards, which says even less for him. Later, we went to see keynote speaker and former Dead Kennedy Jello Biafra. This was in the big conference room, and again we had to wait a while as Jello was late. The room once again filled to capacity, and they once again ran a link to the other panel room to compensate. In fact, the room was so full I wondered if there would still be room for Jello. (Fill the rest of the joke in yourself.) He finally arrived after regular crowd-pacifying announcements ("Jello is in traffic." / "Jello is around the corner." / "Jello is in the elevator." / etc.) Still, spirits were high, and so were some of the attendants. Jello gave a pretty good speech, about current legal crap, politics, copyright law, free speech, and all that kind of goings-on. It was definitely worth it. Some time later, Sergey found a P-touch labelmaker in the terminal room, and we started playing with it. I printed up a sticker proclaiming "RTF is a jackass" and burned some film in my disposable by snapping photos of this sticker on various things around the hotel until the adhesive wore off. I tried to get a civilian lady in an elevator to hold it up for a photo, to which she and her guy laughed and replied in perfect Ebonics, "Y'all ain't from New Yoke, is you?" After returning to Le Chateau du McDonald for a light lunch, and hanging out chatting to random people about random stupidity (real-life IRC!) Gonzo, Simon, Sergey and I headed back to the big room for the Cult of the Dead Cow extavaganza. The place was definitely overpopulated, and it was all in the big room (which wasn't quite big enough, so they drew back the folding elementary-school-gym partition that separated the network room from the big room so the audience coul bleed farther back, standing on chairs and tables and ATX minitowers.) The crowd was too much for my pals, but I persisted, since it was cDc, dammit! It started with a perfectly respectable playlet adaptation of Romeo and Juliet involving cows, aliens, anal rape, and two girls in lingerie (a surefire hit in any roomful of computer geeks,) went on to a discussion by BO2K author Dildog to the effect of "Stop asking me for BO support, I have better things to do so I set up a discussion board somewhere to keep you all busy, and stop asking me how to get someone's IP from their ICQ number," and descended into a cheezy lip-synched rap thing. But hey, I got two of the stickers that they chucked into the audience, so phear me. Later, in the network room, Bernie S. drew H2K badge numbers out of a hat for a few radio things. By the time the grand prize of some sort of $300 pirate radio station thing came up, a crowd of anxious folk were gathered around Bernie, nervously grasping their badges. Simon and Gonzo just happened to wander toward the drawing when Bernie called the grand prize number, and it was Gonzo's. "I shit you not," he proclaimed. And is he into pirate radio at all? "I am now," said he. One adventure I had twice during the course of the con involved the hotel staircase. Most of the con was happening on the 18th floor. The top floor. And there were so many hackers coming and going in a constant stream that the elevator cars were almost always filled to capacity whenever a panel or event was starting or ending. This overcrowding sets of a grating alarm whenever the weight limit is breached, which was every single trip. So me and my pals chose on two occasions to take the stairs to the grond floor. Down eighteen floors. This must have seemed like a good idea at the time... er, times... but my calves still won't speak to me for this. Owch. That night I went home, emailed a bit, and slept in my own bed. Just for the occasion, though, I put my speakers up near my bed, stuck on an Information Society disc, and cranked Sonique way up. DAY THREE ~~~~~~~~~ Most of this last day was spent hanging out. I only saw one panel, and that was Emmanuel's Social Engineering panel (this time I was in the other room watching the live feed.) The video went out for a bit, but it was still funny as hell listening to Emmanuel call telco security asking about a memo mentioning something called "social engineering" and "what's that all about?" It was also funny when Kevin Mitnick joined the panel via telephone, and a fellow called Rebel (you may have heard him calling in on "Off the Hook" on.. erm.. any episode) asked him how to get unlisted numbers. At Mickee' le D's later I continued what had become a quick H2K tradition of calmly spending a large amount of the meal with a straw sticking out of my ear. There is truly no place like NYC, as almost nobody ever took notice. I had to resort to going up to random people with this straw sticking out of my ear and politely asking them if they've seen my straw anyplace. Oh well, if nothing else it amused my friends and one elderly Asian lady by the bathroom. As things were splitting up, I gazed forlornly toward the Hotel in all its splendor, and silently wished I could get together more often with a large group of my fellow phreaks, hackers, and others who share in my interests and get at least half of my jokes. Then I remembered, the 2600 meeting is in a couple weeks. See you all next time!

Firefly (r_t_f@phonelosers.net) ______________ ______________ < ______________ > Destroying Arcades For Fun and Profit < ______________ > \______________< by Rufus T. Firefly >______________/ Ah, the humble arcade. For some of us hopelessly ancient phonelosers (those of us over, like, 20) the word may bring forth images of darkened, mysterious rooms filled with a vast array of glowing screens, each beckoning you... challenging you. Pac-man... Asteroids... Space Invaders... a simple quarter being the only sacrifice demanded of you... Jesus Christ, I'm old. Of course, with the wisdom of age I can't help noticing how much arcades have declined over the years. Nowadays, they just suck, plain and simple. Any and all decent arcade games are available in a just-as-good (if not better) version for your home console or PC, and that's if your local arcade has taken enough of an interest to get anything newer than Street Fighter 2 anyway. And let's not forget the prize redemption games, where you need only spend ten dollars on Skee-ball to accumulate enough tickets to get yourself a neato plastic ring worth half a cent. In this article I will discuss a few ways to even the score. FREE STUFF ~~~~~~~~~~ There are a few ways to scam free stuff from arcades. For free games, the most common and easiest method it to simply go up to an attendant, and say you lost your coin(s) in a game. Most of the time, the attendant will go over to the game, plop in his/her own coins, and there you are. Arcade games that run on coins of any kind jam up or skip coins all the time, so you may well be telling the truth. Or, "accidentally" kick the game's plug out of the wall, and then say you didn't notice it was off before you put in your coins, or that some bastard unplugged it on you. Don't worry about looking like an idiot, since 90% of customers are idiots anyway. Prize tickets are easily scammed. Most places have a system where you can turn in some tickets, and get back a coupon or a voucher of some sort worth that amount, so you can take it home and save up for the really good cheap shit. Get one of these for any stupid amount. If it's a hand-written form as opposed to an electronically printed receipt, you can bring it home and erase the writing. If you have a really really good printer, you could do some funky scanning and photoshopping to accomplish this. Or, you could go all low-tech and simply use white-out and a xerox. Either way, you should be able to make yourself a perfect blank voucher, assuming you use the right paper. (Ticket counter attendants handle hundreds of these things a day, so they probably WILL notice if it's a different type of paper.) Now that you have a blank, mimic the handwriting from a genuine one and scribble in any big number you like. (Although for some reason, writing "a million bajillion" never seems to work.) Some places have to get a manager to endorse vouchers worth over a certain amount of tickets before giving them out, so try to find that out as well. Save it for a week or so, and then return to claim your prize. Now you can finally get that three-foot tall sawdust-filled Pikachu doll you've had your eye on! Woo-hoo! ANARCHY IN THE ARCADE!!!^%@$& ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So you've had a little fun at the arcade's expense, now it's time to have FUN at the arcade's expense. Here are a few ideas to get you started... * Unplug a game while someone is playing it, preferably when they're on a high level or racking up a high score. * Use a small pin to poke holes in the basketballs from the basketball machines. Or, just steal them. * Find some of those stupid ticket games where you have to roll rubber handballs down a chute, and steal the balls. * Start a skee-ball game, and throw all the balls into the next lane over. * Start a skee-ball game, and coat the balls in vaseline before rolling them back in. * Steal the balls from the skee-ball lanes, leaving one ball in each. Use them wisely, as stray skee-balls have been known to kill. * Put the skee-balls into the basketball games, and the basketballs into the skee-ball games. * Bring some apples and oranges, and roll them into the skee-ball games. * This one works on the really old yellow and brown skee-ball lanes... If you can get around to the right side of the machine, look where the balls sit in the chute. Feel around underneath, and find the small pin that keeps them sitting there. Pull downward and the balls will roll out for free. You won't score points or anything, but it kills time, and what else is an arcade for? * Stick anything you can think of into coin slots. Classics include gum, folded up prize tickets, french fries, sugar packets from the coffee shop, raisins, body parts, etc. Elmers glue can do especially well (it'll dry really fast, since those little lights will warm it up.) * After these, try doing the ticket vending slots, so nobody will win their prizes. Boo-hoo. * Cheat at whack-a-mole by pressing down repeatedly on the submerged head of one ugly gerbil in its hole for the entire game. It works on older machines, try to get the score up to 999 points so the machine will either freeze up or blow its load of tickets for you. * Stick wads of gum on every pedal of every driving game. Next, the seats. * When it's really crowded at the ticket counter, bring up a few hundred prize tickets, and spend an hour picking and choosing carefully from the cheap 1-ticket or 5-ticket prizes, changing your mind often. * Bring a huge wad of prize tickets to the counter, but don't let the attendant count them. Insist on doing it yourself. Count one by one, really slowly, and lose count often. When (if) you finish, insist on a recount, as you were positive you had more than that. * Win a wad of prize tickets, stand out in front of the place, and scalp them. * Wait near a popular, visible driving game. When someone sits in the seat, drape a smock over them, fire up your clippers, and start giving him or her a haircut. For a less risky yet more surreal version, use an accomplice who trusts you with hair clippers. I've always wanted to try this one. * Play a driving game, and when you crash into something in the game, act like you just crashed in real life. Go flying out of your seat, land screaming on the floor with your leg oddly bent, demand a lawyer, etc. * Sneak up quietly behind someone playing Mortal Kombat, and when the defining moment of the battle arrives, shout "FINISH HIM!!!!" in your loudest, best Mortal Kombat voice. * Do the above at a game that's nothing like Mortal Kombat, i.e. pinball. * Die in some game, then complain to the attendant that the game wasn't fair because everyone was trying to kill you. * Wait by a fighting game for a really big scary dude to start playing, then quickly insert your coins and challenge him. Be really obnoxious, getting in his face every time your character lands a successful blow. If you win the game, shout "DUDE, I JUST KICKED YOUR SORRY ASS!!!," "YOU SUCK!!!" etc. at the top of your lungs, and do a victory dance, with a little "Go, me.. go, me.." chant for good measure. Then, ask him what he's gonna do about it. If you lose the game, immediately accuse him of cheating, and demand he buy you a free game to compensate. * Do the same as above, but with a sweet little girl instead of the big scary dude. Furthermore, if during the game she lands a successful blow, immediately seek out her parents and complain that their vicious little daughter just hit you. * A sharpie marker or a little bit of nail polish remover on a q-tip can make short work of any painted-on game instructions. Try getting rid of certain letters to spell out something naughty. * If there are stickers on the games saying how many coins to insert, switch them around. The attendant will soon be hearing it from angry cusomers who were "ripped off" because the coolest, most expensive game in the place didn't start up when they put in their one coin. * Shooting games are fun! Using a small screwdriver or similar, scratch the bejeezus out of the lenses in the guns. Or, just stab through the lens, popping it. * Most video games have a protective layer of clear plexiglass an inch or so in front of the monitor. Write nasty notes, phone numbers, sexually graphic personal ads, or "http://phonelosers.net" on sheets of paper, and slip them behind the plastic for all to see. Or, use some free horse porn from usenet. * If you're with a large group of people, see how many of you can physically pile onto one of those coin-operated kiddie cars at once. Then, start the ride. Listen to the cool screeching noises the little motor makes under stress. * Get all the high scores on a game, and arrange it so all the high score table initials spell out one long demonic message. "1...KIL 2...L_Y 3...OUR 4...FAM 5...ILY" * Most games have an on-off switch somewhere, and if the attendant isn't smart s/he'll never figure out why the ame isn't working even though it's plugged in. It's usually in the back near where the power cord goes in, sometimes on the top, or underneath the front for pinball. * Most arcade games use the same three-holed removable power cord your home computer equipment uses. Need a free spare or three? * Here's the only tip involving an easter-egg... If they have the game "Gauntlet Legends" (the original, it's a big ugly purple and yellow machine) then start a game on player 2,the BLUE side. Enter your initials as "NUD," and the password "069." Choose the blue valkyrie as your character. She will show up naked in the game, with black "censored" rectangles over her naughty bits (and, bizarrely, her eyes.) Now, you can act deeply and morally offended and demand to see the manager about the filthy pornographic game. Or, you can just check out her polygons for the duration of the game. * (As seen in PLA issue 8) You have a soda with you, don't you? Of course you have. Accidentally pour it into the vents on a game for some cool smoke and sparks. For those curious among you, a normal arcade game can cost anywhere from $500 for an old crappy Tetris or something to $10k or more for the biggest newest hot shit. Even more for a big sit-in game. * Spill a soda all over the glass on a pinball machine. For something more permanent, get some glass-etching compound from an art supply shop. * Find a game with a small piece of a ticket sticking out. Light it on fire. With luck, the flame will travel along the strip to the five or ten thousand tickets sitting inside the machine. Fire bad!! FIRE BAD!!!! * Go into a photo booth. Draw the curtain, and leave some wrinkled porno magazine pages on the seat. For effect, sprinkle the pages and the inside of the booth liberally with a mixture of Jergens hand lotion and water. For even more effect, mix pages from the latest Kids-R-Us clothing catalogue with the porno. The parents will love finding this one! A few of the arcades I've worked at over the years have been the type of place where in addition to the games they have food, rides, birthday parties, and such. In this setup, there are a few more ways to have fun... * Sneak into a random birthday party. Eat some free pizza and birthday cake, and hit on the hostess. Then, hit on the party kid's mom. Then, hit on the party kid's friends' moms. Then, hit on the party kid. * If they have a stage show with stupid singing robot puppets, remember that all the furry coverings are easily removable in case someone has to repair the animatronics, and furthermore remember that there are precious few things in life more fun than watching a furry mousey or bunny or something sing happy happy songs while half its skin is torn away, revealing its Terminator endoskeleton. * I don't think I have to tell you what to do if they send out the jackass in the big furry cartoon character costume. Just remember, you'll have to kick extra-hard due to the padding. * However, if for some strange reason you're not inspired to violence when exposed to a big costumed character (who the hell isn't?) a cool alternative is to suddenly look panic-stricken, and shout into the area of the mask the human can see out of that the head is on fire and for chrissake take it off! Watch the kiddies scream in abject terror as their beloved mascot brutally yanks his own head off. (This isn't as far-fetched as it sounds, most of these have cheap electric cooling fans wired inside.) * If you're the type to mess with credit fraud, and you have an enemy's credit card info, call the party place and se up a birthday party for 30 - 50 guests. Those things can get seriously expensive. And the funny thing is, the charges for a surprising amount of parties were contested by the cardholder in my time at such a place. Are this many people carding parties for their kids? Yeesh, parents these days.. * Get into the ball pit. If they won't let you in, sneak in. Then push the other kids around and make them cry, to get revenge on the world for when you were little and some big bully did that to you in the ball pit and made you cry. Who's king of the ball pit now, huh??? WHO!! WHO RULES THE MOTHERFUCKING BALL PIT NOW!!!! .....I need to go lie down. * This one is a guaranteed show-stopper if you've got the stomach for it... eat as much ice cream as you can possibly stomach at one time, maybe with some nuts and stuff added. Wait around a while, then take some syrup of ipecac (a first-aid vomit inducer available in pharmacies) immediately before going on a ride. You'll throw quite a respectable gusher, and since all you ate was ice cream it won't be too rough on you. See how many strangers you can hit. This is even more effective if it's a wussy 2 MPH kiddie ride you're on. Got any more? Mail 'em on up.. --- Rufus T. Firefly (r_t_f@phonelosers.net) _______________________ _________________________ < _______________________ > RedBoxing in 2000 < _________________________ > \_______________________< by hal0 >_________________________/ I just thought that I would write up this little text file to clear up some of the rumors I've heard going around about whether redboxing does or doesn't work anymore. To answer the main question, yes. Redboxing does still work in the year 2000, and I expect it will continue to work for quite a while. I can verify that it does work from first-hand experience. Here are the details I have. Redboxing only works on Bell phones!!!!! Ninety-nine percent of the emails I get about people complaining that their redbox doesn't work is because they did not try it on a Bell phone. The other one percent was because the phone the person tried it on, while it was a Bell phone, used the uncommon "mic-mute", security. This is where the microphone for the payphone is disabled until money is deposited into the phone. One common way around this is to deposit the initial nickel and then box the rest of the tones as most of the phones will un-mute the mic as soon as a single coin is deposited. They other way around this is to just clearbox the phone instead of redboxing it. However, clearboxing is more difficult and risks completely destroying the phone, so it's best to just find another payphone. So as a rule of thumb, if you try to box a call on a payphone and it doesn't work, TRY A DIFFERENT PHONE!!! Preferably one not within a mile of the one you just tried. Eventually, you WILL find a phone that will work. I haven't paid for a call from a payphone in over 4 years now, and considering my youth, that is a long time. What type of redbox should you use? Phreaks have many differing opinions on what type of redbox works the best and provides the best quality, features and ease of use. Many swear by the old, home built completely from scratch design. Still others prefer a modified tone-dialer design. There are even some phreaks out there that use whistles to generate the tones necessary to redbox a call. I have only known one person ever to be able to blow the tones at the right frequency for the right length per tone, but that was one of the coolest damn things I ever saw!!! (thanx red0n3, miss ya) And then there are the new-age phreaks who don't have time to play with hardware and just use a mini cassette or IC recorder to record the tones from a source such as a "phixed" tone-dialer, or a redbox program from the internet (this is the method I use the most and will be covered in detail later). Anyway, the point is there are many many ways of making a redbox, and personally I don't think that any of them work any better than the others, so we'll stick to ease of use, features and reliability for this part of the lesson. And one last note: The features of a home-built redbox are almost, if not, identical to those of a modified tone-dialer, so from now on we will treat them as equal. Ease of Use, Reliability, and Features The modified tone dialer and IC recorder definitely come out ahead in this area for two main reasons. 1. Both are capable of holding files with combinations of tones for certain amounts of money. For example, a tone-dialer typically has a number of programmable buttons. These buttons can be used to record a series of tones played in a row. By recording the necessary tones for say, $3.50 into a single file, you save yourself from having to press all those buttons. Plus, with the multiple files, a different file for each of the most common amounts can be made, 1 - 35 cents 2 - $1.00 3 - $3.00, and so on. Most IC recorders have this same ability, but implemented slightly differently. The ICR has the ability to hold a number of different recordings, to get a file for each of the amounts you want you would use a redbox program (or modified dialer) to record the tones for the first amount into the ICR, then you would stop it. To create another file, you just hit the record button again, play the necessary tones, then stop. Most IC recorders will hold a maximum of either 50 or 99 files. This gives the ICR a slight advantage over the tone-dialer, although there are only typically three sets of tones you need.... 35 cents, $1, and $5. Some people just like to get technical and not give the phone too much money, so they make more exact amounts (this also comes in handy for another reason which I will discuss later). Separate files can be made on a cassette recorder also, although its really only one long recording with a gap of silence between each of the "files". This is not reccommended because of the amount of wear put on the cassette, due to fast-forwarding and rewinding so often, degrades the sound quality. I can't say much about the whole whistle-blowing thing, but hey, if you are capable of doing it...blow on phellow phreak!!!! As far as reliability, they are about the same assuming one thing....always have extra batteries around! It sux to be in the middle of nowhere trying to be a safe distance from anything resembling law enforcement, and then running out of batteries for your redbox. In ease of use, it definitely has to be either the tone-dialer or the ICR once again. You just can't beat a one-touch $5 tone sequence that stops automatically when its done. Which type of Redbox does hal0 use? I just happen to be fortunate enough to have gotten my hands on a very expensive (about $80), very high-quality ICR. I use the Panasonic RR-QR80 Integrated Circuit Recorder. It has two different folders (not files...folders), each capable of holding 99 files. It has three diferent sound quality settings and in high-quality mode will hold about 35 minutes of audio. Unfortunately, I don't have a damn clue how much it will hold in long-play (lowest quality) because I've never used anything except high-quality. Anyway, I've had this recorder for probably 2 months now and I haven't had one problem with it. Before I had it I used a home-built redbox inherited from a neighbor that was also a phreak. Unfortunately the redbox I had didn't have memory capabilities, so you had to push the buttons a whole bunch of times to get $5 and a long distance call to my girlfriend when I was out of town got pretty frustrating...hehehe. Anyway, my new ICR has 6 files on it: 25 cents 10 cents 5 cents $1 $3.50 (it's usually what the operator asks fro when she comes on in the middle of a long distance call...you know "Please insert (amount) for the next five minutes.") $5 Those are the only tones I've ever needed. You may have different preferences, and for most purposes, you don't need the single coin tones unless you make local calls, in which case you can still just record a 35 cents combo and use it. Tips On Not "Boxing Out" a PP (not getting caught) First, let me stress that unless you are stupid enough to box a call from the payphone inside of a police station, there is practically NO DANGER in redboxing. I have had reports of groups of phreaks hanging out at the same phone all night and boxing prank calls all over town, and then getting busted. However, these are either just wannabees, or the stupidest muthafuckers I've ever heard of. So, here's some tips: #1 - Limit the time/frequency of your calls. This is the most important. The longer the call is, the better a chance of a real operator coming on, and the better the chance she's gonna realize that you are boxing the call. Also, the more calls you make from the same phone in a period of time, the better the chance of the phone being monitored. #2 - Vary your tones. NO ONE...I repeat NO ONE walks around with $20 in quarters in their pockets. And it is highly illogical that people even have $5. Operators KNOW THIS. So, don't always use the same tones for the same amount of money. Try using $1 tones that are a combination of all different coins instead of just 4 quarters, etc. using $5 in quarters every time the operator comes on during a long distance call will almost guarrantee that your call will not last more than 10 or 15 minutes...if that. #3 - Vary the amount of time between tones. This is the most common reason phreaks get busted. They always record the tones as fast as they can so that they don't have to wait so damn long to get the call through. I an operator comes on and asks for a dollar and you box the tones befroe she can even finish her sentence, your busted. Try recording tones like you are actually having to put the money in the phone, with a different space of time between each tone. #4 - Avoid/Ignore live operators at all costs. If at all possible, avoid all live operators, they are the first (and only) line of defense between a phreak and his happiness. If its is not possible to avoid the operator, ignore her or him. I have had many an occasion where I would box the tones in the middle of a long distance call, and the operator would come on and say something like "Try using real money." Or "I don't think so.". I just ignored them and didn't say anything and the phone system automatically let me continue talking (its safer to stay quiet for a few more seconds in case the operator stays on the line a little longer, about 15-20 secs is usually enough). Here's why this works. When the operator comes on to tell you you are caught and you don't say anything, she thinks you've hung up already, so she clicks off the line. However, the phone system knows you haven't hung up and connects your call. The operator must disconnect your call manually to kill it, she just can't hang up. So if you just stay quiet, they will usually just hang up and figure that you thought you were caught and already gave up. This is a life saver sometimes! As a note...sometimes it's a blast to phuck with the operators anyway, so if one comes on, and you're not in the middle of an important call...don't ignore them. My phavorite thing to do is ask them if they want to be a millionaire, and then if they say yes, startplaying quarter tones into the phone over and over until they get pissed and hang up...its hilarious. #5 - Stay out of site (if possible) I know I know, it's a bitch to find a payphone out of the public, but look around, they're there. The one I love is at my local Wal-Mart (boy, when I go to Wal-Mart, its one helluva phun philled day!), in the little entrance area where the coke machines and stuff are. Its hidden beside one of the machines and up against a corner on the wall. I can pick up the phone and lean back against the coke machine and be completely out of site. If you can't find a phone out of site, don't worry. Just act like boxing is natural. Walk up to a phone, pick it up and do your stuff. Don't act all nervous and jittery. Don't keep looking around and trying to hide the headset and redbox in front of you. The best way is to hold the phone up to your ear, then put the redbox against it with your other hand, so that it just looks like you're holding the phone with two hands. The cool thing about my ICR is that its about the size of a credit card in length and height, but about a half-inch thick. I can hide it completely in my hand. If someone walks up to you and asks what you're doing, just tell them to mind their phucking business (unless it happens to be law enforcement, then just say you're recording the phone call if you are using an ICR, but if you're using a tone-dialer......"everybody has bad days...hehehe":( Well. I think I have covered just about everything that I intended to. If you want more redboxing info, just do an internet search and read the older stuff (or visit my site when I get it finished and online), its mostly all still good. Hope this was helpful and appreciated, if not....phuck you, I was bored anyway, so phuck it. UPDATE: I just got back from a trip to Arkansas (all the way from GA) and am proud to announce that I boxed at least 3 calls from each state along the way...GA(of course), Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. I even managed to find a "female" :) :) :) phreak while boxing a call inside a Waffle House in Arkansas (unfortunately I was calling my girlfriend, but hey, it was a rare find anyway).

Keep it up and stay PHREE!!! :)hal0 Have Phun and Happy Phreaking, --- hal0 (hal0@hushmail.com) [note from linear: last thing I'll ever publish about stupid red boxing stuff! I swear! really!] ________ _________ < ________ > Top Ten Signs Your Son/Daughter is a Phone Loser < _________ > \________< by Phractal >_________/ 10) AT&T calls you and demands $80,000 for fraudulent teleconferences. 9) His/Her 'science project' involves midnight adventures climbing up telephone poles. 8) You now get the premium channels, when you didn't order them, and don't recieve bills for them. 7) There is a fiber-optic line from his/her local school going directly into his/her computer. 6) You recieve mail that is addressed to Roy Gerbil. 5) You hear *67 automatically being dialed whenever you pick up the phone. 4) He/She insists that BlueBeep is a game that is the latest fad, and everyone plays it. 3) Your local phone company calls and asks why last night, there was over 800 calls placed in less than 1 minute. 2) You find a magazine that has a National Geographic cover, and then, inside it has a pornographic cover, but it's actual contents are logs of harrassing calls to some poor sap named Dino Allsman. 1) Your son/daughter prefers going to the local payphone at 3 am with their 486 laptop, and signing on to the internet under some operating system you've never heard of, instead of using AOL at home with a cup of warm coco. --- Phractal (mr_phractal@hotmail.com) __________ ___________ < __________ > Grand Theft Auto 2 Explosion Overflow Expoit < ___________ > \__________< by Phractal >___________/ I really don't advocate this activity, becuase it's cool like the first time you do it, but you become an annoying person when you continually do it. OK, here's how the ultra-lame0 exploit works. You need to have a copy of Grand Theft Auto 2 and start playing with people over the internet. What you do is get away from everyone else in the game, so they won't disturb you. You crash into a few cars, and form a fence made out of cars to block oncoming traffic. As you do this, a multi-car pileup is created. Make this pileup as large as possible. Ok, now get some weapon, and blow up one car in the pile up. What will happen is that, all of the cars will catch ablaze and blow up themselves, making a huge large explosion. Too big for many computers, so big, that it will result in two things if you or someone else playing has 32 MB or RAM or less. One thing that will happen is the computer will simply freeze, and they will be forced to reboot. Another thing that will happen is the game will overflow and dump you to a "this program has preformed an illegal operation" error and the game dies. Either way, the player gets ticked off, especially becuase Grand Theft Auto's only allows you to save games in only a few places. Do this to piss off someone playing over the internet, just make sure you have over 32 MB of RAM, unless you want to have your GTA game 0wned as well --- Phractal (mr_phractal@hotmail.com) _____________________ _____________________ < _____________________ > Simple Port DoS Attacks < _____________________ > \_____________________< by Jolly Spamhead >_____________________/ Denial of Service (DOS) is simply rendering a service offered by a workstation or server unavailable to others. The most common is an OOB attack, which is fairly simple and basically involves sending an out-of-band message to a winblows operating system. Port 139 is typically used, and WinNT's Service Pack 3 included a patch for this, although it is apparently possible to get around this with a little manipulation of the source code. Another simple attack involves a telnet to port 53, 135, or 1031, and then typing in about 10 or so characters and hitting enter. If DNS (port) 53 is running, DNS will stop. If port 135 answers, the CPU utilization will increase to 100%, slowing performance or knocking it out. And if you hit port 1031, IIS will be knocked down, hanging or effectively slowing the server in such a way as to render it useless. Typically the only fix is to reboot the system. So use ostrosoft tools to scan for these ports..... Remember, having and using programs does not make you a "hacker", studying operating systems and learning how to manipulate them is the only way you can ever really consider yourself a "Zer0cool" hacker (if that's what you want to be in the first place I guess). --- Jolly Spamhead (http://get.to/homi) ________________________ _______________________ < ________________________ > Internet Port

Jolly Spamhead apologizes in advance to Kevin Mitnick (I even bought a "Free Kevin" sticker and a tshirt!..geez get off my nutz kev!), and anyone else that I may draw false attention and perception too. (The Real Jolly Spamhead) Sung to the Tune Of The Real Slim Shady --------------------------------------- May I have your attention please? "You damn kids stop calling me!" Will the real Jolly Spamhead please stand up? I repeat will the real Jolly Spamhead please stand up? We're going to have a problem here (Verse 1) Ya'll act like you never seen a black hacker before bieges drop to the floor like abene and kevin just burst in the door and started babbaling about the Mod Lod war I heard about 50 million times before It's the return of the "Oh wait, no way, your kidding, he didn't just type up another fucked up article for UPL, did he?" And RedBoxChilliPepper said ....Nothing you idiots RedBoxChilliPepper is dead, OCI finally caught up with him and cut off his fuckin head! Suicidal S&M IRC bitches love Jolly Spamhead Chicka chicka chicka Jolly Spamhead I'm sick of him look at him, sniffing ip's, brute forcing NT's typing ctty nul in your autoexec.bat, just for show...."yeah, but he's so evil though" Yea I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose but no worse than what's going on at 3:30 in the morning when I cut your NUI box the fuck loose Sometimes I just wanna exploit Network Solutions and just let loose (Spoken: KKK.com was my work nigga!), but can't anymore, since redboxchillipepper's article for UPL made the news My exploit is on the way, My exploit is on the way and if I'm so lucky (Spoken: Yeah Right) once its published, you kiddies might just give it a longlife of a day, before its abused so much I wonder why I submitted it anyway? And that's the message that JS is here to deliver to you little script kids and expect them not to know what a nbsession is. Of course they gonna know what a nbsession is (Spoken: They should?") by the time they hit 4th grade, they got the internet and UPL zines don't they? We ain't nothing but phonelosers, well some of us are just plain losers with stolen pins, waiting for our free cd's at mailbox etc to come in But we can buffer overflow and overload then there's no reason that mitnick and another man can't elope But if you feel like I feel I got the antidote. Colleen wave your panty hoes, sing the chorus and it goes... (Chorus) I'm Jolly Spamhead Yes I'm the real Spam All you other Jolly Spamheads are just imitating So won't the real Jolly Spamhead... Please stand up, Please stand up, Please stand up becuase I'm Jolly Spamhead Yes I'm the real Spam All you other Jolly Spamhead are just imitating So won't the real Jolly Spamhead... Please stand up, Please stand up, Please stand up (Verse 2) The 2600 readers don't gotta install linux to exploit root Well I do, so fuck them and fuck you too! You think I give a damn about how I break in? (Spoken: Fuck That!) The ops in #2600 can't even stomach me, let alone stand me. "But Spam what if u learn to hack wouldn't it be weird?" Why? So yall feds can arrest, call me Coolio, swap some spit about dare.org and watch spam shed some tears? Shit, fuck that I have been in the game for too many years I wanna goto defcon this year and sit next to RBCP and Goldstein And hear 'em argue over which fed kevin gave head to in jail first to get out Praise the lord! Mitnick is finally free! (Spoken: Yippie!) "Where were the free Jolly spam stickers when the cops came and raided me?" (Huh) I should load up adobe And show the whole world through a jpg how you gave Jolly Spamhead VD (scream) Yo im sick of you spam wannabees So I've been sent here to annoy you or better yet destroy you And theres a million of us just like me Who exploit like me Who just don't give a fuck like me Who write like me Walk, talk and think like me It just might be the next best thing But unless your black, and go by the name of JS with a nekkid amy fetish Your just playing lost skitszo roulette with one of PLA's best (chorus) (Verse 3) I'm like a cannibal corpse acidtrip to listen to Cause I'm only giving you UPL articles you only joke about with your friends inside your living room The only difference is I got the balls to type it all And I don't gotta be false or suck up to linear for him to print it all I just load up edit and spit it Im sorry you never heard of edit, im sorry you had to admit it I just shit it better than 90% of you phonelosers out there Then you wonder how can kidz eat up my articles like valiums. Its funny cuz at the rate im going when I'm 70 Ill be the only person in the OCI office Pinching op asses when I'm jackin' off with Kevin and I'm suppose to be working Trying to figure out why my damn ANI isn't working And every single person is a Spamhead lurkin' I could be workin at Walmart opening modems, replacing the boards with crushed Jolt cans and programing the SOB to catch on fire at a flick of my hand Or outside in the parking lot looking for my redbox I lost when I was drunk screaming I don't give a fuck Until mall security comes and chases me around the whole fuckin lot So will the real Spamhead, please stand up and put one of those fingers on each hand up and to be proud to be outta your mind and outta control and one more time, scream as you can, how does it go? (chorus) --- Jolly Spamhead (http://get.to/homi) _______________________ ________________________ < _______________________ > Letters To UPL < ________________________ > \_______________________< by various losers >________________________/ From: gench@texas.net To: linear@phonelosers.net Subject: correction, um, or something Greetings from the Dork side of the moon! Just a couple minor details in UPL019 you might want to tell your readers about: The keypad telephone Twisted Faith refers to (Cat No. 940-0763) is $50, not $19. However, Cat No. 43-892 is basically the same thing (about the size of a pack of cigarettes, uses a headset), but it's $30. Also, I think the "Quarter-sized" phone TF was talking about isn't made by RadioShack. There IS one made by Northwestern Bell (www.nwbphones.com), the model 28000, that fits his description (round, about the diameter of a golf ball, uses a headset). It's about $15 at the Target store near my place, and comes in several fr00ty colors! (or if you're lazy, www.nwbphones.com/28000.htm) Laters! -Brad aka Gench the Burping Cheetah! "I am Dyslexic of Borg. Your ass will be laminated." -LearJet of EFNet's #MacFilez ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Chad Yaggie To: linear@phonelosers.net Subject: upl article was reading your article about the family plan for scamming free airtime from certain cell phone plans. one hole i found in this plan is the fact that, in our area at least, everytime you get the operator to dial a number for you, you get charged about two dollars. i know this because i have used the operator to place calls for me after getting call blocked from dialing some number. noticed the charges when i got the phone bill a few weeks later. my provider is southwestern bell btw. if your area has access to a simple divertor that can only place local calls, this idea would work flawlessly. we used to have one years ago, but it died a horrible death. [d'oh! I had no clue some people get charged for op diverting local calls at the time of writing that article. I only learned later when a few people like this guy informed me. Lucky for me though, it's free in my area. You guys will just have to find away around it if you get charged when you try this. sorry. ] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Colleen Card To: linear@phonelosers.net Subject: Hacking girls the cyberpunk way Um I don't care if that article was supposted to be a joke, the only people who find that stuff funny are probably groups of retarded high school boys. I know that's who probably reads your 'zine, but that article was still in poor taste and probably shouldn't have even been published. There are tons of guys into h/p who suffer from mental illinesses, whould if be funny if I wrote articles about how to 'Social Engineer the Depresses Computer Nerd into Killing Himself'. I've come across far more guys online that have 'problems' them women so maybe an artile like that would help you reach a larger target audience. Neither subject is funny. Colleen Card www.phonelosers.org/colleen www.alton-online.com/mab [ linear gets serious for a minute.... I agree completely. Honestly. When I received the article, my initial thoughts were too ignore it, and avoid publishing it all together. Then there was a battle with myself on the basis of "I shouldn't have to censor to my writers". As you can see, the wrong side one. Usually if someone sent me an email like this on nearly any other article I've published through UPL, I would have simply replied "Fuck you, if it has offended you, then it's doing its job," but because I totally agree that this article was better off ignored, I am apologizing (for the first and no doubt last time in UPL history) for publishing something I as an editor should have known not to. ] _____________________________ __________________________ < _____________________________ > disclaimer < __________________________ > The United Phone Losers are not role models.
