Issue Number: 50
|
|
Release Date: June 3, 1988

$ Final Issue $
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the final issue of TNS. I know this might come as a shock to some
|
|
people (well maybe not) but this is the last issue of TNS. There will never be
|
|
a 51st Issue. 50 Issues is plenty and soon I will be leaving the modem world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main purpose of this issue is just to wrap some things up. I will
|
|
be leaving the phreak/hack world after this issue is distributed. I didn't
|
|
expect that this newsletter would be so difficult to produce. All of the
|
|
typing that I have been forced to do has taken its toll (It takes a long time
|
|
to transcribe all of those articles). I have put a lot of time and effort into
|
|
TNS and I hope that I made it into a good magazine.
|
|
|
|
I have grown tired of all the r0dentz in the phreak/hack world and all
|
|
of the pseudo-phreaks and 13-year olds. Most bulletin boards lack serious
|
|
discussions and are filled with tons of r0dentz.
|
|
|
|
During my time in the phreak/hack world I have gotten away with many
|
|
things that I shouldn't have done. It's been fun and I don't regret a thing.
|
|
I've learned a lot and have done a lot of hacking and phreaking over the past
|
|
4 years. I've enjoyed most of it and will miss many things.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Right now I'd like to just wrap up some things:
|
|
|
|
- Cablecast Operator was put on probation for one year and fined. TAU is
|
|
still dead though. It lives on in the TRIAD. Black Peter is probably gone by
|
|
now too. He's off doing field-phreaking with Lord North.
|
|
|
|
- Allnet is increasing its security. There's some rumor that if a carrier is
|
|
detected on a line, they will check out the code to see if the use of the code
|
|
is authorized.
|
|
|
|
- Don't believe that REMOBS ever existed.
|
|
|
|
- Oryan QUEST never knew the first thing about hacking.
|
|
|
|
- 950s don't have ANI.
|
|
|
|
- and John Maxfield is an asshole.
|
|
|
|
- The Syndicate Report is probably gone forever. No one knows where the
|
|
Sensei is. He's gone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other things:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
There will be no more TNS is the future. 50 issues is where it ends. No
|
|
one is taking over the magazine. If I do come back into the phreak/hack world
|
|
(which would be atleast a year away). I will not revive TNS but would rather
|
|
write for some other on-line magazine (whether it be Phrack, TRIAD, or some
|
|
other magazine that might pop up in the future). Phrack is actually quite lame
|
|
right now. Taran King was supposed to help with Phrack 17 but cancelled those
|
|
plans.
|
|
Some good boards in the hack/phreak world are OSUNY, ce, and Ripco International. Those are all fine boards.
|
|
|
|
Files:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Over the years that I have been in the h/p world I have written several
|
|
files besides the 50 issues of TNS. They are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A Payphone List (the longest every assembled)
|
|
|
|
- A Boxing Dictionary (with about 25 boxing definitions/functions/etc).
|
|
|
|
- A Guide to Diverters (very good/describes everything about them).
|
|
|
|
- A Guide to False Carriers (important information on them)
|
|
|
|
- The DATA DIRECTORY
|
|
|
|
|
|
Data Directory:
|
|
|
|
This was actually three files that I released recently. Originally I
|
|
wanted them to go in Phrack but after I contributed them, I heard nothing. So
|
|
I decided to release them on my own. They are:
|
|
|
|
Computers A-M (Computers from A-M)
|
|
|
|
Computers N-Z (Computers from N-Z)
|
|
|
|
Carriers
|
|
|
|
|
|
The carrier list is the longest list of carriers EVER assembled. It is
|
|
extremely long and will delight any true hacker. There's plenty there. I'd
|
|
think that the carrier list is the best file I've ever written. Most of these
|
|
files are floating around. Ripco and P-80 are two places where I know they
|
|
both are. Check there first.
|
|
|
|
The Data Directory was actually a computer version of my notebooks. Over
|
|
the years in phreaking/hacking, I've collected a lot of information that I
|
|
have stored in about 3 notebooks and some 5 folders. In addition to this I
|
|
have two boxes filled with junk that I've trashed from various central
|
|
offices (does anyone trash anymore?).
|
|
Most of this stuff will be thrown out soon as I exit the phreak/hack world.
|
|
I don't even plan on keeping the 2600 Magazine issues. I've decided to throw
|
|
away all of it except maybe a notebook or two that is dear to me. The Data
|
|
Directory is a large part of my notebooks (those files took me over seven
|
|
hours to write dammit!!).
|
|
|
|
|
|
$PCP$
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
PCP was just the title under which I wrote my files. It stands for Pirate
|
|
Communications Productions. It means nothing significant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
My computer will be gone within the next month and, as stated earlier,
|
|
the earliest that I would return to the modem world will be in a year. I'll
|
|
call around and see what's happening (I'm sure P-80 will STILL be up). As for
|
|
now, sysops should remove all my accounts from all bulletin boards that I am
|
|
on. I'd say I'm on about 8 different boards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's all I have to say now. With this issue completed I am now leaving
|
|
the phreak/hack world... so....
