HACKING IN HOLLAND
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In Holland, hacking started out late. The first real hacks were
|
|||
|
|
done in the early eighties. Among these hacks was the 'RIVM hack',
|
|||
|
|
hacking the computer of the dutch health-inspection (FDA). Because
|
|||
|
|
even patient names were listed here this got a lot of publicity.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Around 1984/1985 the movement grew rapidly because of the movie
|
|||
|
|
'Wargames' and publications in the "Volkskrant", the country's major
|
|||
|
|
left-wing newspaper. It was around these days two students hacked the
|
|||
|
|
'008 computer', the directory-assistance system, owned by our local
|
|||
|
|
Ma-Bell clone, the PTT. Because hackers had access to a lot of
|
|||
|
|
unlisted phone numbers this was front-page news in all of Europe.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Shortly after this hack, Jan Jacobs published the book 'kraken en
|
|||
|
|
computers' (hacking and computers), about the uprise of the hacker
|
|||
|
|
movement in The Netherlands. Jan Jacobs is also a free-lance reporter
|
|||
|
|
for the 'Volkskrant' which explains their scoops on major hacking
|
|||
|
|
events. In those days, he himself was a hacker.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Things remained relatively quiet, although the CCC kept scaring
|
|||
|
|
everybody with their marvelous hacks all over the world over the
|
|||
|
|
packet-network. X-25 hacking in Holland is relatively new, not because
|
|||
|
|
the net was not there, but because it was still to easy to use the
|
|||
|
|
telephone. Only recently dutch hackers discover that the X-25 net
|
|||
|
|
offers them the opportunity to make low-cost global hacks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Another group had sprung into life in the early eighties, phreaks.
|
|||
|
|
These phreaks concentrated on mobile phones however, because our ATF1
|
|||
|
|
(car-phone 1) system is as leak as a basket. Using a CBM-64 or other
|
|||
|
|
simple hardware and an FM-tranceiver, every weirdo could make free
|
|||
|
|
calls all over the world. This lasted until there were so many illegal
|
|||
|
|
car-phones that the costs began affecting the total PTT turnover.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The PTT then made it impossible for car-phone users to make
|
|||
|
|
international phone calls automatically and told their international
|
|||
|
|
operators to check for fraud carefully. By that time all the phreaks
|
|||
|
|
were rich from selling their technique 'to friends only', and bored
|
|||
|
|
stiff, because the PTT had taken their toy away. There was a new
|
|||
|
|
system, ATF2 (compatible to the scandinavian NMT system), but this was
|
|||
|
|
to complicated (in those days) to hack (considdering these people were
|
|||
|
|
not computer minds but mainly high-frequency experts).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The phreaks met the hackers and they decided their goels were the
|
|||
|
|
same.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The PTT phreaked out when the world found out that some of the leading
|
|||
|
|
hackers had switched to phreaking. When Personal Computer Magazine
|
|||
|
|
published an article about phreaks making free calls all over the
|
|||
|
|
world through an old exchange in Denmark (which could be reached free
|
|||
|
|
of charge), all hell broke loose. The magazine contained our list of
|
|||
|
|
frequencies for the CCITT-4 system, so suddenly everybody was a
|
|||
|
|
phonephreak. The free lines to Denmark were rerouted, some other gaps
|
|||
|
|
were closed, but no action could be taken against the phone phreaks
|
|||
|
|
(The Key and me among others), because no phone-fraud legislation
|
|||
|
|
exists in Holland. Can you imagine what it's like to live in a country
|
|||
|
|
that has NO phone-fraud laws?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Since then things have cooled down (there are only about 40 real
|
|||
|
|
active hackers in the entire country, so things tend to get quiet
|
|||
|
|
every once in a while), but as soon as anything happens, we'll let you
|
|||
|
|
know.
