Xx EDITORS COLUMN
|
|
|
|
Welcome to another edition of Zmag!
|
|
|
|
This week I welcome back Larry
|
|
Mihalik, who has been hard at work
|
|
getting his BBS system going.
|
|
|
|
I am going to complain this week
|
|
about our Atari Magazine's on the
|
|
HOT SPOT this week is ANTIC!!!
|
|
|
|
Last weekend, I went to my local
|
|
computer store to check out whats
|
|
new and saw the October issue sitting
|
|
on the rack. The price tag was 12.95
|
|
with a double sided disk. Well
|
|
I thought about it and decided to
|
|
go for it. (By the way, next week
|
|
I will expand on the computer
|
|
store). Anyway, to continue this
|
|
story....
|
|
|
|
When I got home and peeled the
|
|
plastic off the mag, I booted the
|
|
disk and boy was I surprised!!
|
|
Side one contained the drab file
|
|
list the comes every month, not
|
|
such a bad thing I suppose, but
|
|
when I turned the disk over to find
|
|
ST files, I was a little annoyed.
|
|
Complete with instructions on HOW
|
|
TO PORT OVER files to an ST.
|
|
|
|
I wonder why??? Since the populus
|
|
getting the disk are 8 bitters, WHY
|
|
include 70% ST stuff on the disk??
|
|
|
|
If ST users want the stuff, Why cant
|
|
Antic supply them with their own
|
|
disk??? Why should the 8 bit user
|
|
even have to be exposed to software
|
|
that cant run??? Why should an STer
|
|
have to go through the process of
|
|
PORT OVER when the can be supplied
|
|
with a disk that is ready to run.
|
|
|
|
Excuse me if I sound annoyed, But I
|
|
am and really dont understand the
|
|
logic behind it?? If you are
|
|
reading this and can provide me with
|
|
a different light, Please do???
|
|
|
|
Now for the Second Attack!!
|
|
|
|
On the last page of the mag they
|
|
listed New Products or whatever they
|
|
call it this week. I saw a tiny
|
|
little thing about CARINA!! Sheesh
|
|
guys give me a break!!! You are
|
|
pushing BBCS II like it was the
|
|
best thing on earth!! I ran it and
|
|
had nothing but problems, so already
|
|
you not on my good side!! But why
|
|
even bother putting in a shabby
|
|
little thing when more information
|
|
could have been gathered!! I think
|
|
putting it in the back of the issue
|
|
and the lack of info supplied is
|
|
poor judgement.
|
|
|
|
My third attack goes to both Mags
|
|
ANALOG AND ANTIC!! I understand
|
|
that you guys prepare most of your
|
|
issues weeks ahead, but looking through
|
|
the last few issues of both mags,
|
|
I find information which had already
|
|
been covered in this measly mag
|
|
called ZMAG!! Sheesh again!! Some
|
|
of the articles are out dated!!
|
|
|
|
I suppose I could go on and on and
|
|
I am sure there is fault with what
|
|
I am doing every week. There are
|
|
some people who might even feel I
|
|
have over stepped here, But I
|
|
think about it this way! I subscribe
|
|
to Analog monthly, I pay for each
|
|
issue. Zmag collects no funds yet
|
|
we cover more topics and news each
|
|
week. I feel I am not getting what
|
|
I pay for. If the issues were dated
|
|
properly, instead of getting DECEMBER
|
|
1986 issue in late October, the
|
|
information in each magazine might
|
|
be more interesting. I wouldn't
|
|
mind getting October's issue in
|
|
October??
|
|
|
|
Any views are welcome and will be
|
|
published. What is your thoughts??

----------PHREAKING!--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I am finally back, and I
|
|
see that Zmag continues to survive
|
|
without me! Anyway, on to the subject
|
|
at hand=> Phreaking! For any of
|
|
those that don't know what it is,
|
|
it's a leeches way of placing phone
|
|
calls for -free-. They are parasites
|
|
that prey on our convenience
|
|
services provided by long distance
|
|
phone companies.
|
|
|
|
The phone companies have promised
|
|
to wage war on these -code-users-,
|
|
but I decided to write this column
|
|
on not what it is, or how they do
|
|
it, or even the financial losses to
|
|
the phone companies. Instead on
|
|
what it is doing to the users.
|
|
|
|
Recently, I recieved a message
|
|
from a potential -new-user- to my
|
|
BBS. Oh, I have been around and
|
|
seen a lot, but this one struck me
|
|
in such a way as to get me to
|
|
finally speak out.
|
|
|
|
This -new-user-, I will call him
|
|
MISGUIDED, logged on and left me a
|
|
message. Here it is, but I have
|
|
corrected the spelling and deleted
|
|
the obvious portions of the message,
|
|
but you will get the idea.

THIS IS A COOL BBS

NAME IS

|
|
|
|
I AM 11, BUT DON'T HOLD THAT AGAINST
|
|

|

|
|
Well, I don't want to analyize
|
|
the message, but I am sure you can
|
|
see why I was sort of set back by
|
|
this youngster.
|
|
|
|
Obviously, MISGUIDED is an 11 yr.
|
|
old BOY, who has been a victim of
|
|
an enviroment that has lead him to
|
|
believe that it is a -free- ticket
|
|
to entertainment.
|
|
|
|
This is far from the reality of
|
|
the situation, but I promised myself
|
|
not to preach why it is wrong, we
|
|
should all know that by now. I very
|
|
much doubt that this individual
|
|
will ever take the time to read
|
|
this article, or Zmag, so how do we
|
|
get the message to him that what he
|
|
is doing is wrong?
|
|
|
|
Well, I hate to tell you this,
|
|
but it falls on YOU! [EVERY last
|
|
one].
|
|
|
|
We have to take a stand and open
|
|
our mouth's to these -code-user's-.
|
|
Not for thier sake, but your's. If
|
|
the phone co., the FBI and every
|
|
other agency can't put a stop to
|
|
this parasite, what laws will be
|
|
enacted to restrict tele-communications.
|
|
It has happened before, those that
|
|
make up a small group of people can
|
|
cause enough of a problem that
|
|
tele-communications maybe regulated
|
|
in the future.
|
|
|
|
So SPEAK UP!. If you see a message
|
|
from anyone who refers to use of
|
|
codes, or promotes the use, then
|
|
hit that [R] button and reply. Let
|
|
them know how you feel. Tell them
|
|
that this is not -a standard practice-
|
|
as most believe.
|
|
|
|
You will be surprized at the
|
|
final outcome, you will find that
|
|
quite a number of other board users
|
|
will back you up and reply in
|
|
similar fashion. But, now that you
|
|
read this, you are obligated to
|
|
start the ice breaking. Stretch
|
|
that finger and hit [R] and dig in.
|
|
|
|
Don't rely on: -someone else will
|
|
do it-...They won't!
|
|
|
|
Until next time.

|COMPUTER CRIME BILL HEADS TO|
|
|
| REAGAN'S DESK |
|
|
|
|
When it comes to high-tech issues,
|
|
the 99th Congress has taken a firm
|
|
stance on electronic privacy and
|
|
computer crime.
|
|
|
|
With a bill to protect electronic
|
|
privacy sent to the president just
|
|
last week, the Senate and House of
|
|
Representatives have now agreed on
|
|
a computer crime measure and sent it
|
|
off to the White House.
|
|
|
|
Titled the Computer Fraud and Abuse
|
|
Act (S 2281 and HR 4562), the
|
|
legislation passed by voice vote in
|
|
the Senate and was then accepted by
|
|
the House with the Senate amendments.
|
|
The House originally passed the bill
|
|
in early June.
|
|
|
|
Introduced in the Senate by Sen.
|
|
Paul Trible (R-Va.) and in the House
|
|
by Rep. William Hughes (D-N.J.), the
|
|
measure expands the protections
|
|
against computer crime currently
|
|
governed by the nation's only
|
|
computer crime statute (18 USC1030).
|
|
|
|
-This bill will clarify the 1984
|
|
statute to make clear that acts of
|
|
simple trespass by unauthorized
|
|
users of government computers are
|
|
punishable,- said Sen. Strom
|
|
Thurmond (R-S.C.) in support of the
|
|
measure. Thurmond is chairman of
|
|
the Senate Judiciary Committee,
|
|
which guided the measure through
|
|
hearings and onto the floor for a
|
|
vote.
|
|
|
|
-It will also proscribe acts of
|
|
fraud via computer or intentional
|
|
destruction of computer data. Both
|
|
fraud and destruction of property
|
|
will be covered by S 2281 when they
|
|
are committed against computers
|
|
belonging to the federal government
|
|
or to federally insured financial
|
|
institutions. The same offenses will
|
|
be covered when the crime itself is
|
|
interstate in nature. Finally, S.
|
|
2281 will permit prosecution of
|
|
those who traffic in computer
|
|
passwords belonging to others.-
|
|
|
|
Noting that federal crime laws
|
|
lagged behind the technology, Trible
|
|
told his Senate colleagues during
|
|
debate on the measure that state and
|
|
federal prosecutors have had difficulty
|
|
adapting older criminal law statutes
|
|
to computer crimes.
|
|
|
|
-In the government's race to protect
|
|
computer data against crime, the
|
|
hour is late. Quite simply, the
|
|
criminals have the technological
|
|
edge,- he said. -It is time to
|
|
dispel the notion that computer
|
|
crime is a game or a challenge to
|
|
be overcome. The fact is, the
|
|
computer criminal is a lawbreaker
|
|
just like any other and deserves to
|
|
be treated as such,- Trible concluded.
|
|
|
|
The president is expected to sign
|
|
the bill.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|FREE LAW BBS OPENS IN CALIF.|
|
|
|
|
If you're an attorney in the LA
|
|
area, take note: A new free computer
|
|
bulletin board system has opened in
|
|
Beverly Hills.
|
|
|
|
Called Legacy/The Law Network, it's
|
|
operated around the clock at baud
|
|
rates up to 2400.
|
|
|
|
According to a statement from the
|
|
operator, attorney Robert H. Kohn,
|
|
online lawyers may participate in
|
|
discussions on computer law,
|
|
entertainment law and telecommunications
|
|
law, or may enter the -Lawyers
|
|
Lounge- for a free-for-all discussion
|
|
on any topic.
|
|
|
|
Kohn is associate general counsel
|
|
of Candle Corp., one of the major
|
|
mainframe software publishers and
|
|
former corporate counsel for software
|
|
publisher Ashton-Tate.
|
|
|
|
The board is accessible with a
|
|
modem call to 213/553-1473.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|VIDEO GAMES GOOD FOR KIDS|
|
|
|
|
Parents, the word from one expert
|
|
is not only to let your children
|
|
play video games, but also make sure
|
|
they do. According to Daniel Gopher,
|
|
a professor at the Technion-Israel
|
|
Institute of Technology, video games
|
|
impart the kinds of skills needed
|
|
in a modern, technological society.
|
|
|
|
-They can fill an important void in
|
|
training pilots, computer scientists
|
|
or anyone else called upon to operate
|
|
complex, technological systems,- he
|
|
explained.
|
|
|
|
Because video games are fast-moving
|
|
with players forced to pay attention
|
|
to five or six simultaneous actions,
|
|
they require concentration, visual
|
|
acuity, hand-eye coordination and
|
|
decision making. These are the same
|
|
skills need for flying modern aircraft
|
|
or operating the control room in a
|
|
nuclear power plant.
|
|
|
|
-The present working environment in
|
|
high-tech industries is not much
|
|
different from that of a complex
|
|
video game. It is not too far-fetched
|
|
to think that skills learned and
|
|
acquired in a game environment can
|
|
be translated into real-life situations,-
|
|
Gopher said.
|
|
|
|
He encourages parents to -stand
|
|
over their children and make sure
|
|
they practice on the computer, just
|
|
as our parents stood over us to
|
|
practice the violin or the piano.-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|BBS 'NEWS SERVICE' OFFERED|
|
|
|
|
A Topeka, Kan., organization
|
|
called the BBS Press Service is
|
|
offering sysops of local bulletin
|
|
boards a weekly computer news
|
|
electronic magazine called Info-
|
|
Mat, containing reports on
|
|
computers, software and consumer
|
|
electronics and more.
|
|
|
|
Info-Mat is distributed free to
|
|
BBSes that pay a $10 registration
|
|
fee. For the fee, the sysops are
|
|
authorized to download the weekly
|
|
files from the Kansas board and
|
|
post them in their areas. BPS also
|
|
sells advertising which is
|
|
displayed in each issue of the
|
|
publication.
|
|
|
|
So far some 45 boards in the US and
|
|
Canada are carrying Info-Mat.
|
|
|
|
A sample copy of the magazine is
|
|
available on the host system at
|
|
913/478-9239 which operates at baud
|
|
rates up to 2400. The operators,
|
|
Alan Bechtold and Bill Barton,
|
|
suggest sysops get this old issue
|
|
and post it on their boards to get
|
|
reactions from callers.

|
|
|
|
|
|CRACKER INVADES UNIX SYSTEMS AT|
|
|
| UNIVERSITIES, BUSINESSES |
|
|
|
|
A computer cracker who calls
|
|
himself -Pink Floyd- has eluded
|
|
authorities for six weeks and invaded
|
|
computer systems at dozens of
|
|
universities and businesses across
|
|
the country.
|
|
|
|
At least one computer specialist
|
|
believes the intruder may be trying
|
|
to -prove something about Unix
|
|
security,- noting that most of the
|
|
break-ins have occurred in systems
|
|
running under that multi-user
|
|
operating system.
|
|
|
|
The raider has been brazen about
|
|
his success so far -- he makes
|
|
taunting phone calls to systems people
|
|
while cracking their security.
|
|
|
|
According to The San Francisco
|
|
Examiner, the cracker began his
|
|
intrusions Aug. 25 and has since
|
|
broken into computers at Stanford
|
|
University, Lawrence Berkeley
|
|
Laboratory, the University of
|
|
Illinois, Massachusetts Institute
|
|
of Technology, Mitre Corp. in
|
|
Reston, Va., and at least three
|
|
unidentified Silicon Valley
|
|
companies.
|
|
|
|
Authorities say there has been no
|
|
detected damage to the online data,
|
|
but the raider has made subtle
|
|
alterations to some systems to make
|
|
detection more difficult.
|
|
|
|
Stanford University apparently
|
|
sounded the alarm, calling police and
|
|
phone company officials for help.
|
|
The Examiner quotes university
|
|
spokesmen as saying the cracker may
|
|
have tapped into as many as 60
|
|
campus computers, some of which
|
|
include systems that contain non-
|
|
classified, Pentagon-sponsored
|
|
research data and programs.
|
|
|
|
One computer scientist said the
|
|
cracker fits the profile of a
|
|
computer-science graduate student,
|
|
because of his skill at maneuvering
|
|
the systems. One theory is that he
|
|
gained control over equipment
|
|
monitoring Stanford's local area
|
|
network, and thus was able to
|
|
capture legitimate user passwords as
|
|
they were sent over the network.
|
|
|
|
The Associated Press quotes a
|
|
computer researcher at a Silicon
|
|
Valley think tank from a message on
|
|
the US UNIX computer network:
|
|
|
|
-At one point, an intruder spent
|
|
two hours talking on the telephone
|
|
with a Stanford system manager,
|
|
bragging about how he had done it,
|
|
but there was no way that the call
|
|
could be traced to him. A few days
|
|
later, I sat there and watched the
|
|
intruder log onto one Stanford
|
|
computer, and I watched every
|
|
keystroke that he typed on his keyboard,
|
|
and I watched him break into new
|
|
directories, but there was nothing
|
|
that I could do to catch him.-
|
|
|
|
Lester Earnest of Stanford's
|
|
computer science department, told the
|
|
Examiner, -It is hard to say what
|
|
the motive was. It would not surprise
|
|
me at all if it was someone who was
|
|
trying to prove something about UNIX
|
|
security.-
