INTRODUCTION: Welcome to another issue of the Damage, INC. Newsletter. The
|
||
quote for this issue "Phun for h/p d00ds" is obviously meant
|
||
as a joke. So, lighten up all of you big l33t hax0r d00ds. ;)
|
||
No offense is intended to those that consider themselves to be
|
||
l33t hax0rs, and feel insulted by my comment. Haha.
|
||
|
||
Onward... Have you ever thought about mind over matter? As in,
|
||
telekinesis? What about, mind over time? Or perhaps, mind over
|
||
mind? Do you ever think about the potential power that our
|
||
minds might hold? Have you ever wondered about how far thoughts
|
||
can travel? Is it possible that our minds can go beyond the
|
||
limits of space and time? My main point is that possibilities
|
||
exist that should be explored. As a race, there are still many
|
||
questions that we don't know the answer to, or cannot explain.
|
||
However, that doesn't prevent us from continuing to learn more,
|
||
progress and find the answers. Meaning, don't dismiss something
|
||
and assume that it's impossible because you don't understand it
|
||
or can't explain it. Open your mind. Become aware of the things
|
||
that science avoids investigating. Seek out the truth. Try to
|
||
find your own answers. Rely on yourself, and not what you are
|
||
told to believe. Think about the unthinkable. Consider all of
|
||
the alternative, strange perspectives. Don't just conform and
|
||
take "society's" mainstream point of view for everything.
|
||
Develop your own individual beliefs and opinions. Destroy the
|
||
barriers of thinking that are hidden deep within your mind.
|
||
|
||
At this stage, you may be wondering how this relates to this
|
||
issue of the Damage, INC. Newsletter. I'll attempt to clarify
|
||
and explain the reason I wrote the above paragraph as part of
|
||
the Introduction. I want our readers to expand their minds,
|
||
think about possibilities, consider alternatives, strengthen and
|
||
improve their level of knowledge. Why? Well, think logically.
|
||
If you manage to do that, you will be able to learn vast amounts
|
||
of new information, evolve as a person, and advance. The mere
|
||
capacity to learn doesn't necessarily mean that someone *will*
|
||
start learning. Therefore, it takes more than being interested
|
||
to learn about hacking and phreaking. You must think. In order
|
||
to think freely, you must clear your mind and remove its useless
|
||
limitations, misconceptions, lies and stereotypes.
|
||
|
||
The expression "I think therefore I am" can be modified to read
|
||
"I think therefore I hack/phreak" without destroying the meaning.
|
||
Hopefully you understand why that saying is just as valid as
|
||
the first. In reality, it hasn't actually been changed.
|
||
|
||
We are creatures that are capable of pondering our own existence.
|
||
Even though we are animals, we can create and use technology.
|
||
Personally, I don't believe that we are the only "intelligent
|
||
lifeforms" in the universe but at least on this planet our
|
||
intellect is unmatched. The human brain has been developing for
|
||
millennia. It's the greatest piece of technology of all. Don't
|
||
waste its power. I suggest that you use your mind and use
|
||
technology to your own advantage. My definition of h/p is
|
||
thinking. You can form your own opinions and try to define it
|
||
differently, but I challenge you to dispute "h/p is thinking"
|
||
and find a way to disprove that statement. Its simplicity is
|
||
what makes it complex and meaningful. Unfortunately, to many
|
||
h/p only means "hacking/phreaking". For me, it carries a much
|
||
greater meaning.

BIG BROTHER BASHING - {BIG BROTHER}
|
||
Censorship: Big Brother's secret weapon:
|
||
|
||
How many works of art, songs, movies and books have been destroyed by
|
||
censorship? Obviously, there's no way to provide accurate statistics to
|
||
show how widespread censorship is. But censorship can be found everywhere.
|
||
I'm sure that you've personally encountered censorship, and experienced how
|
||
it totally degrades and ruins the censored item in question. The censorship
|
||
machine keeps on rolling. Its momentum is created by the weak minded zombies
|
||
that protest if they disagree with the content of something. If they find a
|
||
school book to be offensive, they get people to sign a petition, call the
|
||
school board etc. until it's banned reading material. That just robs students
|
||
from being able to read classic books that would benefit them intellectually.
|
||
It shelters and censors them from seeing the real world, as it really is.
|
||
|
||
Have you ever wondered why there's so much censorship? The reason is that
|
||
many people *want* to be censored, thus forcing it on everyone else. That just
|
||
gives government agencies power. It also gives them an excuse. Big Brother
|
||
loves being able to say that a song or movie is "below community standards".
|
||
What does that actually mean? Well, it simply means that people (sometimes a
|
||
very small number) call or send letters to an agency, such as the CRTC in
|
||
Canada and say that they find something offensive. However, they have choices
|
||
available to them. If they are offended by a TV show or movie, they can change
|
||
the channel. If it's a song on the radio, they can listen to another station
|
||
etc. That isn't what they want to do though. They want to make sure that
|
||
*nobody* else can watch, read or listen to something unless it's censored.
|
||
So, they run to Big Brother for assistance. And of course, Big Brother is
|
||
there to "help" them by making sure it becomes censored or banned material.
|
||
|
||
Why does Big Brother enjoy censoring and banning various material? It's their
|
||
secret weapon. It gives them control over us. Each time they are allowed to
|
||
censor something (with public support and excuses) they gain a little more
|
||
control over what we have access to. Using censorship as a weapon makes
|
||
Big Brother feel strong and powerful. Censorship in the hands of Big Brother
|
||
is a very subtle and effective weapon. It's one of their favourite mind control
|
||
techniques. As in, they limit what type of information is absorbed into our
|
||
minds and therefore maintain control. That's the very reason that mainstream
|
||
publications and movies are so shallow and lack aggressive, raw opinions etc.
|
||
They've been censored to prevent anything deemed "too offensive" from being
|
||
included. It's sickening. If you've ever watched movies shown on television
|
||
then you already know exactly what I'm talking about. Words are removed, entire
|
||
scenes are cut from the movie and it's altered so much that the actual movie is
|
||
almost completely unrecognizable. That's why censorship is so harmful. Why
|
||
should Big Brother be allowed to modify someone else's work at will? In my
|
||
opinion, they shouldn't. It isn't their creation and doesn't belong to them.
|
||
|
||
In closing, nothing should be censored...but obviously countless things are.
|
||
There's no easy solution. There is no quick fix. There is no advice that
|
||
I can give you to fight this problem that is corroding away at our creative
|
||
works. The only advice that I can give you concerning censorship is to avoid
|
||
supporting any medium that supports it. That simply means, read uncensored,
|
||
underground publications whenever you can get access to them. Seek out
|
||
book stores that sell books that are banned elsewhere. Listen to music that
|
||
doesn't have words "beeped out" whenever possible. Look for information on
|
||
the internet regarding censorship, and learn how it can personally affect you.
|
||
You can also find underground magazines, text files etc. on internet sites.
|
||
Use it as an instrument and utilize its resources. You might be amazed at some
|
||
of the material available that Big Brother doesn't want you to have access to
|
||
or know about. Don't let them stop you from accessing *any* information.

BLACKENED'S TIP OF THE MONTH - {BLACKENED}
|
||
List of h/p sites and how to find them:
|
||
|
||
Q: How can I find some h/p sites?
|
||
|
||
A: Look at the list of sites below. Many of them have links to other sites.
|
||
Download lists of h/p sites. Write down the ones that are written in
|
||
h/p magazines that you read. Try using search engines (like Altavista etc.)
|
||
Do a search for hack, phreak, virus, security, unix, underground, exploits,
|
||
cryptology etc. That should give you a nice list of sites to check out.
|
||
Then try to find the specific sites that you want to visit by narrowing down
|
||
the search. (Examples: Phrack or cDc to find their sites).
|
||
|
||
Internet www and ftp sites are unpredictable. Some of them are very unreliable
|
||
in that they're up one week and down the next. Therefore, some of the sites in
|
||
the following list might not exist anymore... even though we've done our best
|
||
to personally check as many as possible. Also, they aren't all h/p sites.
|
||
There are some sites like Sun, AT&T, Cryptology, Privacy, Anonymous Email etc.
|
||
as well that might be of interest to you. If you know of any good h/p boards
|
||
(dialups/telnet) from any area code, then make a list and send it to us. We
|
||
want to create a large h/p bbs list and include it in a future issue.

CONSPIRACIES AND COVERUPS - {COVERUPS}
|
||
PSYCHIC WARRIOR:
|
||
|
||
Keeping with the theme of this month's newsletter, this article reveals
|
||
the US Government's coverup of a secretive group of people, whose daily
|
||
activities are mind boggling, and bone chilling.
|
||
Operating under the codename STARGATE, in the Defense-Intelligence
|
||
Division, members of this group practiced things that less than 1% of the
|
||
US Government, CIA, and FBI knew about. One thing that can be learned from
|
||
this somewhat chilling tale, is that most of the time, most of the army has
|
||
no idea what the rest of the army is up to. The dawning of the 60's produced
|
||
an era of defense officials never before seen in the army; intelligence had
|
||
taken over brute force methods of attack, and now new, more intricate plans
|
||
of attack were being concocted. This article describes one of those such
|
||
"new age" plans.
|
||
Sergeant David Morehouse was just your average joe. He had pursued a
|
||
career in the armed forces, as had his dad, and his. He had a lovely wife,
|
||
and two healthy children. For some reason though, David's path was "chosen"
|
||
for him. Whether you believe in fate or not is entirely up to you, but this
|
||
man's life changed so drastically that I myself cannot believe it was
|
||
accidental, or "coincidence." The year was 1979; Morehouse and his platoon
|
||
"The Rangers" were stationed in a remote East-European country, training
|
||
Palestinian soldiers about war techniques. Nothing was out of the ordinary,
|
||
until one day on a routine village raid, a stray bullet struck Morehouse
|
||
square on the forehead. Instantly he was transported into another realm.
|
||
What he describes as "angels" (simply an archetypal symbol IMO), visited him
|
||
and gave him the message "What you are doing is wrong. If you want peace,
|
||
seek peace, practice peace. You have seen death, now bring life." In one
|
||
instant his life as he knew it had changed. The bullet had luckily hit his
|
||
helmet, and not done any severe physical damage. The psychological damage
|
||
though, was shattering. For years after the incident he was plagued with
|
||
nightmares, "visitings", visions, voices, and other bizarre experiences such
|
||
as sleepwalking, spontaneous trances, and more.
|
||
David battled with the experience. The main focus of his life had become
|
||
how to deal with the newfound consciousness. It was as if the bullet hitting
|
||
his helmet had opened up some sort of blackhole in the fabric of space-time,
|
||
and consciousness. He hoped with time it would go away. It did not; but
|
||
instead got worse. Maybe a change was needed. He decided to switch divisions,
|
||
into the intelligence-agency despite warnings from Commanding Officers that
|
||
"what goes on in there is sick, and immoral." Before being allowed into the
|
||
Defense-Intelligence-Agency (DIA) Morehouse was required to undergo numerous
|
||
physical and mental tests. Using these, the army built a "psychological
|
||
profile" on the new recruit, standard procedure for the DIA. The army now
|
||
knew more about David Morehouse than he knew about himself. They would later
|
||
use this to their advantage.
|
||
Based upon his bizarre experience, our plagued hero was placed in a
|
||
covert operation now known as the STARGATE project. Knowledge of its
|
||
existence was limited to very few individuals. Morehouse was asked to lie to
|
||
his wife and family; no one was to know about what went on during the long
|
||
days he was at work. Members of this unit were trained to develop psychic
|
||
abilities to be used in the application of defense-intelligence. Another
|
||
thing that can be learned from this man's experience is that the psychic
|
||
phenomena is a very real, and powerful tool. Specifically, these people
|
||
induced altered-states-of-consciousness (ASC's), and used astral-projection
|
||
(out-of-body travel) to remote-view enemy sites, gather information, and
|
||
learn things that were not supposed to be known outside of very tight circles.
|
||
The techniques they had developed were sound, and could be reproduced by
|
||
individuals who had the propensity towards this "sixth sense." David
|
||
happened to be one of these people, that is why he was chosen and trained to
|
||
be a psychic spy for the US Army.
|
||
The experiences however, had very definite side effects that nobody could
|
||
explain. Morehouse was prone to going into trance at random, sometimes while
|
||
driving his car. Also he had vivid dreams of his family being brutally
|
||
murdered, and the face under the murderer's mask being his own. Frequently
|
||
he woke up screaming. It was starting to get out of control; he was
|
||
losing his family, and his sanity. He continued working however, hoping and
|
||
believing that what he was doing would lead to the answer to his problems,
|
||
for there were benefits to being able to travel out-of-body. He saw the
|
||
potential for mankind, given this knowledge. Unfortunately he did not realize
|
||
that the answer to his problems lay within him. The mental stress began to
|
||
take its toll. His behaviour now exhibited that of a mental patient. He
|
||
couldn't sleep, for fear of lucid nightmares that left him sweating with fear.
|
||
Around this time he also realized that hiding the knowledge of the army's
|
||
remote-viewing practices was wrong. The information could greatly benefit
|
||
society (or so he believed), and he began a plan to expose the whole unit.
|
||
His family was the first to learn about what went on in the unit. They
|
||
shared his belief that the knowledge should not be kept secret any longer.
|
||
Little did they know what awaited them on this path of government exposure,
|
||
for if they did, they perhaps might have rethought the whole thing.
|
||
Officials eventually got wind of his desire for publicizing the events that
|
||
took place during the 20 years that the STARGATE program was in operation.
|
||
Small threats inevitably lead to death threats, and it was when somebody
|
||
tried to kill him and his family that David Morehouse clearly saw the US Army
|
||
for what it was, and what it had become. They used their knowledge about him
|
||
in attempts to stop his actions, and their ruthlessness was unforgivable.
|
||
It was bigger than them though. Morehouse had selected himself as the
|
||
one to make public the knowledge of the army's remote-viewing experiments.
|
||
Because of his one-track mindedness, Morehouse succeeded in his desire to
|
||
expose the activities that went on during those fateful months he was in the
|
||
unit. The army denied 95% of his claims, also denying the validity of
|
||
"remote-viewing" for defense purposes. Their tactics went straight from
|
||
hiding the truth, to manipulating it. Not once did it occur to them to simply
|
||
admit their actions, and take responsibility. Most would sooner have died,
|
||
than admit to a conspiracy/coverup.
|
||
The events described here within are all true, and can be verified by
|
||
newsmedia, books, and some government documents. The tale is a fascinating
|
||
one, combining elements of science fiction, suspense, and conspiracy. David
|
||
Morehouse was a person who dared to be more than what society expected. He
|
||
rose above the law, conquered space-time, and lived to tell the story of both.
|
||
He no longer works with the army in any way, and spoke at the 1996 world
|
||
conference on issues of peace, and nonviolent ways to solve disputes.
|

CORRUPTION AND GREED - {GREED}
|
||
The IRS, death and taxes:
|
||
|
||
Of all of the bureaucracies in the Unites States, one of the most corrupt and
|
||
cold-hearted is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS has tremendous
|
||
powers in which they use to rape and pillage Americans. Without a hearing, or
|
||
any other form of due process, the IRS can seize property, pay checks, homes and
|
||
shut down businesses. It is because the IRS is the absolute judge, jury, and
|
||
executioner during a tax audit, it is no wonder that they are capable of
|
||
financially, or even physically destroying the lives of many Americans.
|
||
|
||
IRS managers keep track of citizens that they consider to be `tax protesters'
|
||
and `political dissidents' that disagree with the government of the day. It is
|
||
no coincidence in my mind that people like Paula Jones have been audited by the
|
||
IRS. They'll make someone's life hell on a request from a corrupt politician,
|
||
or will independently act on their behalf. In addition, the culture within the
|
||
IRS encourages the exploitation of taxpayers that don't have the resources to
|
||
fight back. Former IRS employees have revealed that IRS managers compile a list
|
||
of individuals and small businesses that are what they consider to be `easy
|
||
prey.'
|
||
|
||
It is said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and that is precisely
|
||
what has happened within the IRS. IRS managers foster a culture of greed
|
||
and powertripping. Despite what the IRS says, it is a fact that IRS agents are
|
||
rewarded by bonuses or promotion in direct relation to the amount of tax,
|
||
interest, and penalty money they can seize. At the heart of their schemes
|
||
is the fact that they can claim any amount of back taxes, with penalties and
|
||
interest, and it can't be contested. If their actions destroy a person or
|
||
family's quality of life, it's a bonus to those sick bastards. One example of
|
||
hundreds of abuse by IRS agents that I have read, an agent told a man he was
|
||
auditing that he was "worth more dead" so that the IRS could seize his life
|
||
insurance policy. When the man reported this, the agent denied it and his
|
||
manager accused the man of lying. In my opinion, he will be harassed by the
|
||
IRS for the rest of his life.
|
||
|
||
The tactics IRS agents use during an audit are cruel and appalling. When
|
||
they have selected their target, they attack with no mercy. And if an
|
||
American actually cooperates fully with the IRS, they are digging their own
|
||
financial grave. In one case, a married couple that ran a small business
|
||
paid a penalty of $6000 because the agent told them "well, it appears that you
|
||
paid these returns correctly, but understand, we are paid to bring in money. If
|
||
you don't pay us something now, I'll just come back with another list of
|
||
requests." Approximately six years later, the IRS required that they had to
|
||
prove that they paid taxes the previous seven years. At that time a heavy lien
|
||
was put against their home as an added "bonus" for their earlier assistance.
|
||
|
||
Another corrupt tactic that the bastards in the IRS use to inflict mental
|
||
stress upon their victims is known as the "whipshaw technique." This technique
|
||
is used to coerce a taxpayer to `pay up' by punishing innocent relatives through
|
||
liens, levies, seizures, etc. Yet another example of the corrupt use of their
|
||
unbridled power. The IRS intentionally developed this tactic to humiliate and
|
||
isolate their victims from their family and friends.
|
||
|
||
Another convenient way for the IRS to destroy the lives of their victims is to
|
||
lie and claim that they didn't received forms, or payments on outstanding taxes.
|
||
This goes far beyond recovering taxes from those that owe the Treasury
|
||
department... it is a blatant and unprovoked attack against Americans that
|
||
can't afford to fight them in court. And that is when the IRS really twists the
|
||
knife. Their follow-up tactic is to charge late payment penalties and interest
|
||
*and* to pocket the payments they have already received. Then it's up to the
|
||
taxpayer to prove that the IRS received their forms, payments, etc. The reason
|
||
they do this is simple; greed. In one reported case, two years after the fact
|
||
the IRS told a taxpayer that they didn't have a man's 1992 tax return. They
|
||
demanded back taxes *plus* a penalty of $6000. How could the man prove that the
|
||
IRS didn't have the tax return when it is a fact that they do? It is
|
||
contemptible that the IRS is able to lie, or claim that they "lost files" and
|
||
put it all on the back of the taxpayer.
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, not every American is strong enough to handle the oppressive
|
||
shadow that the IRS casts upon their lives. The corrupt and evil ways in
|
||
which IRS agents act have driven people to suicide. However, not even suicide
|
||
and the destruction of families will stop the IRS from their relentless greed,
|
||
and their need to exert their powers. I read a report from a widow suffering
|
||
from severe mental stress. She reported how the IRS took advantage of her
|
||
husband's suicide (his escape from the hell they were putting him through) by
|
||
placing liens on both of her husband's life insurance policies that were
|
||
intended to provide for her and her daughter. And the IRS is not done yet.
|
||
IRS agents are stalking her by telephone and unannounced house visits,
|
||
revelling in their power that they use without any accountability.
|
||
|
||
I hope that this article has given you a small glimpse into how corrupt
|
||
government bureaucracies truly are. Instead of serving the citizens of their
|
||
country, they prey upon them... destroying their hopes, dreams, and lives.
|
||
Breaking up families, and driving people to suicide is the result of their
|
||
corrupt use of the absolute power they wield without fear of recourse. It is my
|
||
opinion that this kind of abuse is only the beginning as our civil rights and
|
||
liberties are eliminated and ignored. Remember that knowledge is power. If a
|
||
bureaucracy as greedy and corrupt as the IRS comes after you, fight back. Don't
|
||
give up destroyed and say "what can I do about it?" That is when they have won.

came across a web site in which victims of the IRS were gathering testimony in

preparation for a class-action lawsuit. The IRS Abuse Reports relate their

horrible experiences much better than I can. You may wish to see first-hand

Americans. The website address of the IRS Abuse Reports is:

DRUGS DISCUSSION - {DRUGS}
|
||
An introduction to the newest section:
|
||
|
||
This commences a new section that will continue throughout several
|
||
Newsletters. Drugs are mind-altering substances; for this reason, I feel it
|
||
important to discuss the current drug situation in our society. There are
|
||
too many aspects of this topic to limit it to one article; as such, this is
|
||
merely an introduction to which perspectives I will be covering, and my views
|
||
on them.
|
||
|
||
-Legality issues must be addressed - should drugs be legal/decriminalized?
|
||
-Personal experiences will be shared and discussed.
|
||
-Drugs in different cultures, eras.
|
||
-Types of drugs, classes of drugs, and effects of drugs will be covered.
|
||
-True facts and events will be looked at, and commented upon.
|
||
-The drug war in North America/the globe is an issue.
|
||
-Focus on Hemp/Cannabis and its advantages/disadvantages
|
||
-Drugs and life, drugs and consciousness, philosophical aspects discussed.
|
||
-Hallucinogens, cosmic-consciousness, religion discussed.
|
||
|
||
Some discussion will be serious, while others more humorous, and others
|
||
still, a mixture of both. I hope you look forward to reading this section
|
||
as much as I look forward to writing it. Those who know me know that life
|
||
is a very interesting subject to me. To blindly think that all drugs are bad
|
||
is such a detrimental belief it astounds me. Drugs fascinate me; and I don't
|
||
necessarily mean experimenting with them. Theoretical discussion of the
|
||
effects of DMT for example can be quite fascinating, without having to do the
|
||
drug oneself. That is not to say I haven't done a lot of drugs. Of the most
|
||
popular drugs available, it would be faster for me to tell you that I have not
|
||
done Crack, Cocaine, or Heroine. I have tried most others however, thus do
|
||
not consider myself a "newbie" to drugs by any means. Because drugs are
|
||
illegal though, I have a hard time believing that what pill I am buying is
|
||
really what it is supposed to be. See what I mean? How can I put my trust
|
||
into something that was probably concocted in a bathtub?
|
||
|
||
These and many more interesting thoughts coming soon. If you care to leave
|
||
me feedback with any comments/experiences you have, I will gladly incorporate
|
||
them into my articles. Otherwise, look for the new Drugs Discussion section in
|
||
the next issue of the newsletter.

H/P INFORMATION AND NEWS - {H/P}
|
||
Tips on scanning 1-800s:
|
||
|
||
This article won't teach you everything that there is to know about scanning
|
||
1-800s. Also, it will not give you any instructions on how to hack them.
|
||
The purpose of this article is to teach you some intelligent scanning methods.
|
||
If you're asking yourself, "What does intelligent scanning mean?" then you
|
||
definitely need to read this section very carefully.
|
||
|
||
In order to scan intelligently, obviously you first need to know what that
|
||
means. In brief, it means scanning efficiently, stealthfully and finding the
|
||
desired targets quickly. Sometimes speed can be of the essence. You can't
|
||
find anything fast if you try to randomly scan all of 1-800-555-XXXX. It
|
||
would take forever to scan and log it all, not to mention the fact that many
|
||
of the reachable numbers would prove to be absolutely useless to you. So,
|
||
instead of wasting your time and putting yourself at risk, learn how to scan
|
||
intelligently. Every single method won't be discussed in this article. The
|
||
reason being, you cannot rely on a text file as your only source of learning.
|
||
You must experiment and develop your own techniques using your own ideas.
|
||
However, since I'm in a kind and generous mood, I will give you a few tried
|
||
and tested tips to try out. :)
|
||
|
||
First, there's the ToneLoc (or THC-Scan etc.) approach. I don't recommend it
|
||
unless you're beige boxing or only going to dial less than a hundred 1-800s
|
||
per session/day. If you're out beige boxing, then you don't have to worry
|
||
about scanning randomly. Try scanning sequentially, unless you're paranoid.
|
||
As an example, you could use a mask of 1-800-555-5XXX and allow it to scan for
|
||
an hour or two. You can sit there watching and listening as it's scanning, or
|
||
leave. Just don't forget to go back to retrieve your trusty laptop. :) Also,
|
||
always create different data files for separate exchanges. It keeps your scans
|
||
much more organized that way. Plus, then you can exchange them with other
|
||
phreaks in your area. If a group of people work together to scan a 1-800
|
||
exchange, it'll go a lot faster. Just assign one person to scan 1-800-555-1XXX
|
||
and the next to do 1-800-555-2XXX and so on. Eventually all of 1-800-555-XXXX
|
||
will have been scanned, and you can share your findings. Plus, if you use
|
||
separate data files, you can upload them to h/p boards in exchange for codes
|
||
etc. That's another benefit to scanning intelligently, you'll find a lot more.
|
||
Just remember, only upload scans that are worthwhile. In other words, not ones
|
||
that are 90% voice/busy's with the rest shitty carriers. If you upload shit,
|
||
there's a great chance that you'll lose your access to those h/p boards.
|
||
|
||
Second, there's the manual dialing approach (pressing the little buttons on
|
||
your phone). :) By using this method, it's much safer since it's more
|
||
randomized. By that, I just mean that the delay time between dials will be
|
||
different, the amount of time between each button being pressed will vary,
|
||
the amount of rings won't be the same, the amount of time "connected" won't
|
||
either etc. Therefore, it is safe to use this method from home. However, you
|
||
must make sure to limit the number of 1-800s that you scan each session. A
|
||
good tip is to have multiple scan sessions per day. In each session, dial 20
|
||
or 30 1-800 numbers. Don't just "pick anything". Scan intelligently. Try
|
||
1-800-XXX-2255. (2255 is CALL). That's just an example. You can also try
|
||
something like 1-800-XXX-0400 or 1-800-XXX-0500 etc. There are patterns that
|
||
you can pick up on. Sometimes the patterns are intricate, and other times they
|
||
are simple and easy to discover. If you find a useful code that's
|
||
1-800-999-1110 then try dialing 1-800-999-1120 etc. Sometimes you can find
|
||
multiple codes that way very quickly. :) Just as, you can try 1-800-225-5XXX
|
||
(1-800-CALL-XXX) and try random last 3 digits. Once you find some codes in a
|
||
1-800-XXX exchange, then sometimes you might want to scan it all. Other times,
|
||
you might only want a certain code that you found scanning intelligently. It
|
||
all depends on what you're into, and how much time you have to spend scanning,
|
||
how many codes you want or need etc. The point is that you don't always have
|
||
to scan the entire exchange to find the codes that you want.
|
||
|
||
Here's another tip. If you find a code (like a 1-800 VMB or ANI or something)
|
||
that's 1-800-222-2020 as an example, scan around it. By that, I mean do the
|
||
same thing as you'd do if you found one end of a loop. To find the other end,
|
||
you have to scan above or below it depending on what end of the loop you found.
|
||
With 1-800s, you should scan above and below the found code. The reason is that
|
||
you can usually find multiple codes that are the same that way. For example,
|
||
if you found an ANI that's 1-800-222-5000 there might be another ANI that's
|
||
1-800-222-4000. Even though that is just an example, I have seen that many
|
||
times before... The reason that I'm not listing usable 1-800s is because I don't
|
||
know what ones are reachable from other area codes, Canada etc. Some 1-800s
|
||
work for all of North America, others are limited to the United States and some
|
||
are only dialable from that state, area code etc. There's a great range, so
|
||
it would be pointless for me to list valid ones that might only work in my area.
|
||
Also, don't write off or ignore an entire 1-800 exchange just because one or two
|
||
numbers can't be dialed for free from your calling area. That's definitely not
|
||
intelligent scanning, since you could miss out on a lot of cool codes. I hope
|
||
that you enjoyed reading this article, benefit from the methods that I've
|
||
discussed and the tips that I've shared. In conclusion, you should be creative,
|
||
use your imigination and learn how to scan intelligently. If you follow that
|
||
advice, then you will soon have more useful codes than you can imagine... More
|
||
importantly, you'll have the ability to find the ones that you need quickly
|
||
without scanning entire exchanges for days.
|
||
|
||
On a personal note, I'm moving again. This time, it looks as though it'll be
|
||
permanent. I am going out to Montana. I don't want to mention the town, for
|
||
several reasons. At any rate, I don't know how active I'm going to be in the
|
||
h/p scene anymore. I've considered unofficially "retiring". I'll still remain
|
||
in contact with a few people, and I'm not quitting Damage, INC. However, it
|
||
is very unlikely that I'll be able to contribute as often to the Damage, INC.
|
||
Newsletter. I still want to write articles etc. but the extent of my
|
||
involvement in the group will be severely limited. I won't have nearly as much
|
||
free time after I start work at my new job. I just want to thank everyone that
|
||
has ever helped me out, and thank Damage, INC. for the experience and knowledge
|
||
that I've learned because of the group. Also, thanks to anyone that reads and
|
||
enjoys my articles. Lastly, have fun scanning and don't forget to phreak
|
||
safely. :)

We're proud to announce that Fatal Vision is the newest Damage, INC. Member.
|
||
He's going to contribute to future issues of the Damage, INC. Newsletter.
|
||
In a relatively short period of time, he's managed to learn a fair amount about
|
||
h/p and what it means. Everyone in the group is pleased with his progress and
|
||
we're looking forward to seeing him become an active member.
|
||
|
||
The Damage, INC. FAQ should be complete and ready to release with the next
|
||
issue of the Damage, INC. Newsletter in April. It will contain information
|
||
about the group, past, present, future plans as well as answer frequently asked
|
||
questions etc. However, it won't be an ordinary FAQ. It will be unlike any
|
||
other FAQ that you've read, or exists for that matter. Damage, INC. is about
|
||
uniqueness, individuality and going against the grain... Everything that we
|
||
release proves that statement to be true. So, look for the FAQ of all fucking
|
||
FAQs to be released soon and available on a quality h/p board near you. ;)
|
||
|
||
Also, I spoke with Blackie Lawless after he submitted the above article on
|
||
scanning 1-800s. He assured me that it won't be his last, but it might be a
|
||
few months before he has time to write and contribute anything else. I know
|
||
that he isn't planning on "retiring" from the scene forever. He told me that
|
||
he wants to take a break from it though, even after he's moved and settled in
|
||
Montana. I fully understand that, as I've often thought about doing the exact
|
||
same thing... Plus, it's not good to stay in the scene for 'too long' if you
|
||
are very actively involved, as it might catch up with you eventually. So, I
|
||
don't blame him if he feels that taking some time off will help him avoid
|
||
being busted for something. However, I have no knowledge of his activities,
|
||
or what's going on, so that's just a hypothesis at best... ;)
|
||
|
||
In other local (519) news, The Crypt Keeper is back. He plans to setup his
|
||
board (The Crypt) again... and wants to resurrect a.t.i. We'll have to wait

|
||
Artistry's interrogation of Topsoil:
|
||
|
||
This interrogation was done by Artistry. He captured this chat and sent a copy
|
||
of it to Damage, INC. His intention was that we would include it in this issue
|
||
of the Damage, INC. Newsletter. Artistry's wish was granted. So, all of the
|
||
credit goes to him. Don't thank me for this hilarious interrogation, thank
|
||
Artistry. ;)
|
||
|
||
<A> = Artistry
|
||
<T> = Topsoil (previously known as Coolguy)

|
||
|
||
the sysop has broken in to chat
|
||
|
||
<T> - yeah?
|
||
|
||
<A> - hey.. are you into hacking? 1-800s?
|
||
|
||
<T> - ... ... uhhh.. i wanna be, but i know nothin...
|
||
|
||
[ Look...He admitted that he's a wannabe that knows nothing. What a shock. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - oh.. I thought someone said you were making a list of them...
|
||
|
||
<T> - i was.. they were like.. not computers or nothing.. and umm.. i lost that
|
||
list now, forgot to back it up before i formated my HD...
|
||
|
||
[ Topsoil is always formatting his hard drive. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - okay. do you know what the validation pword on foi is? I applied but
|
||
can't get access.
|
||
|
||
<T> - no clue... he just validated me ... about a day or two after i called so..
|
||
|
||
[ Even Topsoil doesn't know why he was validated on FoI. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - ok no problem. uh, do you know of any other h/p boards around here that
|
||
are local?
|
||
|
||
<T> - heh..i hardly even read my own mail on my own board.. i don't call out at
|
||
all anymore so...
|
||
|
||
[ But he doesn't call boards anymore, except to leech h/p files from FoI. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - Oh... umm... you don't call foi?
|
||
|
||
<T> - nah... haven't in.. oh.. i dunno.. since november or so... not sure
|
||
exactly...
|
||
|
||
[ That's strange since I remember reading posts by Topsoil on FoI after that. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - i read about a board called the crypt and some group called ati.. should I
|
||
join it?
|
||
|
||
<T> - umm.. i dunno.. i've heard a lot of crap about ati, and well, it sounds
|
||
kinda like it sucks.. and besides, i don't really like the crypt keeper.. i was
|
||
on his board a while back.. and well, he had lots of viruses and stuff... not a
|
||
whole lot of h/p or anything like that... but that was a while ago.. and
|
||
umm.. i'm not even sure if his board is still up..
|
||
|
||
[ But The Freezer is a great h/p board right? Haha. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - alright.. so then are there any *good* h/p groups in this area? I'm still
|
||
kinda new... but want to join one really bad.
|
||
|
||
<T> - heh.. yeha... i'm still sorta new too.. and well.. umm.. i'm not sure of
|
||
one.. damage inc is cool.. 'cept for blackened.. i don't like him.. but the
|
||
rest of the group is cool..
|
||
|
||
[ Oh no, Topsoil doesn't like me. ;) ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - hmm... why don't ya like him? hehe
|
||
|
||
<T> - heh... actuaully, i think i've no wiped out my hard drive more times than
|
||
he's wiped out mine.. heh.. that's hard to accomplish. but ahg well.. ehh/.
|
||
|
||
[ You can't blame anyone else when you nuke yourself with trojans Topsoil. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - hehe.. so how abouts would I go about joining damage inc? talk to him?
|
||
|
||
<T> - ... not sure... just talk to the journalist, his board is a member board..
|
||
so he should know...
|
||
|
||
[ FoI is a Damage, INC. Dist. Site. Before you give advice, make sure you know
|
||
what you're talking about. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - ya.. okay.. cool. I noticed you've got some of their releases online
|
||
here.. have ya read any of them, and are they any good?
|
||
|
||
<T> - .. well, i read the first few.. (2 or 3.. forget how many..) and well,
|
||
the one had a trojan's source code at the end.. and i wanted to try it out.. and
|
||
i did.. and wiped myself.. and well, blackened is honest in those and stuff..
|
||
and for the utils that damage inc. has released.. i've never tried them, but
|
||
apparently they do what they say they do...
|
||
|
||
[ Wow. We're all impressed that you were able to use TASM on the source code.
|
||
However, source code isn't executable. Again, you're responsible for nuking
|
||
yourself. Yes, I am honest. Apparently? You execute trojans but are afraid
|
||
to use Damage, INC. Utilities? <shaking my head> ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - hmm.. cool. hey, do you program? I read a message about something you
|
||
were working on...
|
||
|
||
<T> - ... i know turing... and well, can't really do a whole lot in there...
|
||
examples.. you can't use the com port, you can't edit an .EXE file or
|
||
anything like that (at least not that easily) and umm.. well, it's a cheapo
|
||
beginner language.. i started to make a BBSList program for the board.. but
|
||
kinda got stuck not being able to use the modem.. heh...
|
||
|
||
[ Turing? <G> ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - hehe... yeah, it was the bbslist thing that I read about. sounds cool
|
||
though. I'm starting to learn pascal. is that language any good? like will
|
||
I be able to program some utilities eventually with it?
|
||
|
||
<T> - oh yeah.. if you learn it... i'd probably say that it's.. .. either the
|
||
BEST or the second BEST programming language out there... probably best though..
|
||
C/C++ is cool.. but i don't know..i tried it, and got totally confused so..
|
||
most programs are written in pascal though.. eg. this bbs software was
|
||
written in pascal..... or something.. wait.. it was written in turbo
|
||
pascal... and i THINK their the same.. not sure though.. ah well..
|
||
|
||
[ Turbo Pascal is the best programming language out there? <SH> again. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - yeah, that's what we're learning in school... but I'm just starting to get
|
||
the hang of it. hehe. I should check out some of those utilities that you
|
||
have on your board... and see what they're like. do you know anything about
|
||
how to get started, like learning how to program stuff like viruses and
|
||
trojans?
|
||
|
||
<T> - well.. .. no..:) .. umm... for viruses and stuff.. i think.. assembly is
|
||
best for that..and well, that seems easy to learn.. just grab a program like
|
||
VCL, and it will make source code for you.. and you just compile it.. easy..
|
||
|
||
[ VCL will generate assembly source code, as will any other virus generator.
|
||
That isn't programming a virus though. That's called running a shitty program
|
||
that creates .asm source code for viruses that are detectable by any virus
|
||
scanner. Nothing more. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - what's assembly? a language?
|
||
|
||
<T> - yup..
|
||
|
||
[ <applause> Good answer. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - okay.. cool.. so are they usually made in assembly?
|
||
|
||
<T> - yeah.. it makes the files real small.. like.. 3k.. and well, to do the
|
||
same thing in turbo pascal or c/c++ it would be like.. ... i dunno.. 10k or
|
||
something.. so .. assembly is smaller.. but not as powerful...
|
||
|
||
[ Haha. You really have a way with words. You have a talent for explaining
|
||
things that you know nothing about to people. Assembly is smaller but not as
|
||
powerful? Wrong again man. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - cool... also, I wanted to ask you about carding. I posted a message
|
||
asking about it but just got bashed..
|
||
|
||
<T> - uh-huh.. question?
|
||
|
||
[ You should consider changing your alias to the Guru. ;) ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - What is it? How can I learn more about carding? Is it like.. using VISA
|
||
cards or something like that? or am I thinking of something else..hehe
|
||
|
||
<T> - .,, nah, that's it.. umm.. i dunno.. if you wanna learn some stuff about
|
||
it... like.. good methods and stuff, since a lot of them don't work, umm.. in
|
||
the file areas, there's PLA*.ZIP... those have a lot of ... carding stuff in
|
||
... mostly calling cards .. but you can use the same type of stuff for visa
|
||
etc. ... and well, they have some phreaking stuff in too... they're no ratio
|
||
so.. get whatever you want... umm.. and well, you can read the descriptions
|
||
too..
|
||
|
||
[ Yeah, the Phone Losers of America issues are excellent sources of information
|
||
man. The only thing I don't understand is why they don't use a 1-800 VMB and
|
||
have a few boxes. I mean, their leader used to pay monthly for a box... for
|
||
a shitty local VMB in his area code. Haha. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - cool.. I will.. and I don't know much about phreaking yet either but I
|
||
want to learn. do you know much about PBXs, VMBs, ANIs? I also read about
|
||
firewall hacking in the bases here, but don't really know much about that...
|
||
or how to remove firewalls. there's one at school that prevents us from
|
||
going to h/p sites. hehe
|
||
|
||
<T> - hheh.. yeah.. i've gotten pissed of at that firewall too.. .. umm.. i
|
||
tried getting around it by going to.. www.anonymizer.com...; which will just
|
||
copy the page onto their server, and then send it over to you, so your computer
|
||
never actually goes the page at all.. but they firewalled that server. damn..
|
||
and umm.. well.. then i tried converting the .. domain name
|
||
(www.anonymizer.com) over to the IP address (209.xxx.xxx.xxx or osmething
|
||
like that) and well.. that is firewalled too.. so not sure about that.. as
|
||
far as.. PBXs go... i forget what the stand for again so.. :) umm.. VMBs,
|
||
iknow that i have one on my cell phone, and ,.. ANIs, i have call display on
|
||
my cell phone, so for that i just call up my cell phone which is usually in
|
||
my hand, and i just read off the numbe.r.:)
|
||
|
||
[ Read a text file on firewalls d00d. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - cool.. do you have a laptop and beige box? also, i need an extender.. to
|
||
call like Guelph and Toronto...
|
||
|
||
<T> - ... yeah... umm.. laptop, nah, i can't afford everytrhing.. heh.. umm..
|
||
beige box.. .i wanna make one.. but well,i haven't got the cash right now.. damn
|
||
phone companies.. i had $150 in phone bills this month.. heh... umm.. but
|
||
yeah, soon i'm gonna try and build a red box, and beige box... umm..
|
||
extenders.. i don't got any... if i felt like it, i'd consider using toneloc
|
||
or something like that, but since i don't call guelph any more, i don't
|
||
really care about it...
|
||
|
||
[ Quit paying $150 to Bell and you might have more money. ;) Oh, forget about
|
||
trying to build a red box and beige box. That's too difficult for you. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - ya.. i just want to call some ld boards... like in Toronto.. hehe.. but
|
||
don't wanna pay ld to Bell. :)
|
||
|
||
<T> - yeah.. in the pla files, they'll tell you about third number billing.. and
|
||
how you can do that.. so then you don't have the ld, some other guy in..
|
||
oihh.. b.c. has it.. and he won't bother to call you back, since it will just
|
||
cost more money, and if he does call you back, just hang up.. if bell calls
|
||
you.. you know nothing about that... easy..
|
||
|
||
[ That's an excellent method to use. Thanks for the great information. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - hehe... yeah, that sounds like a good idea. do you know how to hack ISPs
|
||
and get free internet accounts? I can't afford to pay for one.. :)
|
||
|
||
<T> - yeah.. i can't afford the net either... so i just got my friend to get an
|
||
unlimited account, and the provider just happens to let up to 100 people use
|
||
the same account, at the same time.. ehh..
|
||
|
||
[ 100 people. Keep that number in mind and read the excuse Topsoil uses next. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - hehe.. can you give me the login and pword? :)
|
||
|
||
<T> - nah... i'm not alowed to give it out.. cuz well, there's 10 people who
|
||
already have it, and well, he doesn't want the provider billing him for all
|
||
10 of those people when they notice they're being ripped off.. heh..
|
||
|
||
[ That shouldn't matter if they allow 100 people to use the same account, like
|
||
you said previously. ;) ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - hehe.. okay... umm.. do you know how I can get access to some other h/p
|
||
boards, like foi and ajfa? I keep seeing people posting about boards like
|
||
that...but can't seem to get access... hehe.
|
||
|
||
<T> - heh.. umm.. well, once you get on foi, .. e-mail blackened from there
|
||
about ajfa.. umm.. .. foi.. well, hopefully you're on that now.. umm.. and well,
|
||
those are the only h/p boards i know of.. anyways, i've gotta go now ..
|
||
getting tired.. and i got to surf the net first period tomorrow in schjool...
|
||
|
||
[ Nah, my board is invite only. That won't work. Go surf the net d00d. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - hehe.. okay...but uh, I applied to foi and he has a validation password
|
||
for new users, so I can't logon yet... :( and ummmm... so blackened runs ajfa?
|
||
I didn't know that... hmm... does he like run damage inc or something?
|
||
|
||
<T> - .. you'll be validated by.. .. the journalist on foi, in the next day or
|
||
two.. and ... umm.. yeah, blackened runs ajfa, and ,.. damage inc, i'm not
|
||
sure who runs that, but ajfa is the WHQ of.. damage inc..
|
||
|
||
[ Become informed before you try to answer questions. ]
|
||
|
||
<A> - okay... now I understand.. :) cool. thanx for the info then man.
|
||
hope to chat again sometime...
|
||
|
||
<T> - yup, ok, l8rz..
|
||
|
||
[ The above line says it all. ]

|

Editor - I wish to take this opportunity to thank you man. The interrogation
|
||
of you done by Fatal Vision was simply hilarious. It contained your
|
||
own words and answers to his questions. I had to publish that and
|
||
share it with our readers. ;)
|
||
|
||
As for the lesson you claim to have learned, I am skeptical to say
|
||
the least considering the amount of false statements that you've
|
||
blatantly made on boards in the past few months. Always remember that
|
||
anything you post on boards can be captured. Learn from your
|
||
experience.
|
||
|
||
Also, you were never a Member of a.t.i. So, you're lying yet again.
|
||
Did you honestly believe that you could fool everyone? The fake
|
||
a.t.i releases that contained ripped off Copyrighted Damage, INC.
|

material impressed nobody. Did you do that in a pathetic attempt to
|

OBJECTIVE OPINIONS - {OPINIONS}
|
||
The existence of intelligent alien life in the Universe:
|
||
|
||
Does intelligent life exist elsewhere in the Universe? If there are alien
|
||
races on other planets, are they technologically advanced enough to know of
|
||
our existence? Have this visited this planet before? Is it possible that
|
||
they have been evolving for millions or billions of years before life began
|
||
on Earth? These are just a few interesting and valid questions that you should
|
||
spend some time thinking about.
|
||
|
||
The Universe consists of billions of galaxies. In those galaxies, there are
|
||
many stars, planets, moons etc. of varying ages. The Universe is a vast place,
|
||
and is so extremely large that it's difficult to comprehend. We do not
|
||
understand it. In fact, we don't even understand the complexity of gravity yet.
|
||
Therefore, how can *anyone* say that there isn't intelligent life on other
|
||
planets? Have we explored them? No, of course not. The fastest machines built
|
||
by humans were the Voyager space probes. They gave us the first "close" looks
|
||
at planets such as Jupiter. Obviously, that planet is within our own solar
|
||
system and not a tremendous distance away from Earth. Recently, we've started
|
||
exploring planets such as Mars and manned missions are planned to investigate
|
||
further. They've looked at rocks from Mars that show (and prove in my opinion)
|
||
that there was life on Mars, albeit primitive "bacteria-like creatures" at one
|
||
time. Scientists such as the late Carl Sagan and others believed that more
|
||
exploration is necessary. They also believed that there's a great chance of
|
||
intelligent life on other planets and that we shouldn't just categorically rule
|
||
it out. I agree with that point of view. It'd be idiot to ignore the
|
||
possibility that life exists on other planets. To assume that life only exists
|
||
on this planet would be both arrogant and ignorant. It would also be the
|
||
biggest, worst assumption that anyone has ever made.
|
||
|
||
Let's say that out of the billions of galaxies and countless planets... that
|
||
there isn't any intelligent life in the entire Universe, except on Earth. Do
|
||
you know what the odds of that are? The odds of that are "astronomical" to
|
||
say the least. So, why place an uneducated guess or bet that there's no life
|
||
out there? It's not only possible, it is very plausible that intelligent life
|
||
could exist (or could've existed in the past) on other planets. If the only
|
||
life in the Universe is on Earth, what is the purpose of the billions of
|
||
lifeless planets? Why are there so many galaxies and stars? Why were they
|
||
all created? Wouldn't that mean that life evolving on Earth was a fluke?
|
||
Or perhaps, it's a cosmic joke. Haha. That possibility seems unlikely to me
|
||
for many reasons. The biggest reason is that I don't consider human life to be
|
||
just a fluke of nature. Why not? Well, if that were true it'd mean that fluke
|
||
after fluke after fluke happened on this planet since it's filled with living
|
||
creatures. Consider the diverseness of this planet for a second and you'll
|
||
understand my logic.
|
||
|
||
Also, the Universe is much older than we are. Did it take human evolution for
|
||
there to be intelligent life in this enormous space? We'd be very egotistical
|
||
to think that we are the only intelligent species in the entire Universe. Or,
|
||
is there more than one Universe? The answer to that question relies upon your
|
||
own beliefs. I cannot answer it for you. What if the truth is that we *are*
|
||
the only advanced life in this Universe though. What if every other planet in
|
||
the Universe is lifeless? What if that theory could be proved to be correct.
|
||
That would make everything meaningless. If life forming on this planet happened
|
||
by a fluke, then there is no meaning to life. There is no point in anything.
|
||
Everything would mean nothing. At least, that's how I would personally feel.
|
||
|
||
On the other hand, if we could prove that intelligent life exists on other
|
||
planets, that would change everything. That would give us new meaning. That'd
|
||
mean our existence isn't the greatest fluke ever. It might also mean that we
|
||
are their seed, that the aliens visited earth long ago. It could also mean that
|
||
there was life on other planets before Earth. They could've been evolving as
|
||
being for millions of years before Earth could even sustain and support life.
|
||
;) Of course, the possibility exists that there is intelligent life on other
|
||
planets that started evolving after us... and that they aren't quite as advanced
|
||
yet. Indeed, the possibilities are endless.
|
||
|
||
I'd also like to comment on Terra-Forming. We have the knowledge, ability and
|
||
technology to turn a suitable lifeless planet into one that evolves... and
|
||
eventually can support life. Essentially, we can change the environment over
|
||
time and "create" life that otherwise wouldn't have developed naturally. The
|
||
chosen planet has to endure drastic changes in its biology, but it is possible.
|
||
Terra-Forming is a very long process that requires hundreds of years in order
|
||
to change a planet. However, we could use the process to change a planet that's
|
||
reachable from Earth into a new world for mankind to inhabit and manage. If we
|
||
can successfully accomplish that, (Terra-Forming involves changing and/or
|
||
creating the atmosphere using different methods including the formation of
|
||
oceans by releasing water from ice or rock, the removal of harmful gases etc.)
|
||
then why wouldn't there already be planets that are capable of supporting life
|
||
throughout the Universe? If we can transform or convert a "dead planet" into
|
||
one that future generations can live on, then it's only logical that out of
|
||
billions of galaxies there would be at least a few "living planets". ;)
|
||
|
||
Yes, that is my opinion and you have the right to disagree or choose to ignore
|
||
that logic, form your own opinion and live by your personal beliefs. Basically,
|
||
I just think that if we can manage to find a way to explore other regions of
|
||
the Universe, are able to change planets through terra-forming, and make
|
||
discoveries that would have been unimaginable less than 100 years ago... then
|
||
it's very possible that alien beings know about and can do the same things.
|
||
Perhaps they know more about space, time, the Universe, propulsion, technology
|
||
in general etc. than we do. They could've been travelling and exploring space
|
||
long before our evolutionary process began (or our creation). They might have
|
||
known of us from the beginning, and not think of humans as being advanced

List of LASS *## codes:
|
||
|
||
This list was extracted from the alt.2600/#hack FAQ. It was included at the
|
||
request of several readers... 2600 deserves the credit for making this list.
|
||
There's no point in duplicating something that's already been done, so that's
|
||
the reason 2600's quality list is being used. The complete FAQ is available
|
||
to download from AJFA (and was also in the list for newbies).
|
||
|
||
|
||
What are all of the * (LASS) codes?

Notes:
|
||
|
||
[C1] - Means code used for Cellular One service
|
||
[1] - for cellular in Pittsburgh, PA A/C 412 in some areas
|
||
[2] - indicates that you are not local and maybe how to reach you
|
||
[3] - found in Pac Bell territory; Intercom ring causes a distinctive
|
||
ring to be generated on the current line; Hold keeps a call
|
||
connected until another extension is picked up
|
||
[4] - applied once before each call
|
||
[5] - A.C.R. blocks calls from those who blocked Caller ID
|
||
(used in C&P territory, for instance)
|
||
[6] - cancels further return attempts
|
||
[M: *xx] - alternate code used for MLVP (multi-line variety package)
|
||
by Bellcore. It goes by different names in different RBOCs.
|
||
In Bellsouth it is called Prestige. It is an arrangement of
|
||
ESSEX like features for single or small multiple line groups.
|
||
|
||
The reason for different codes for some features in MLVP is that
|
||
call-pickup is *8 in MLVP so all *8x codes are reaasigned *5x
|
||
|
||
|
||
*** Note from Damage, INC. - Bell's Call Screening can be defeated by using a
|
||
good diverter, contrary to popular belief. I just
|
||
wanted to dispel the commonly held misconception
|
||
that Call Screening stops a person from calling
|
||
you from the line/number you try to block/reject.
|
||
Hopefully, this short note clears that up for
|
||
everyone that falsely believes that it does. ;)

SOURCE AND SCRIPTS - {SOURCE}
|
||
Damage, INC. Directory Trojan Source Code:
|
||
|
||
This trojan nukes files in every directory off the root of the current drive.
|
||
Then it creates directories to replace the files that were nuked. Once that's
|
||
finished, it changes to the root directory of the current drive and creates a
|
||
directory named NUKE. You can't RD it or CD into it normally from a DOS prompt.
|
||
Lastly, the "Nuked by Damage, INC." message is decrypted and then displayed.
|
||
The first type of encryption used (for NUKE) is a very simple XOR method. The
|
||
second type uses SUB (subtract) for the damage message. Both types used should
|
||
be easy enough to understand.

THE JOURNALIST'S TOP TEN LIST - {TOP TEN}
|
||
"Think of the possibilities..."
|
||
|
||
We are quickly approaching the dawn of a new millennium. The Age of
|
||
Aquarius - love, peace, and enlightenment. With it come new responsibilities,
|
||
and new freedoms. I believe the true nature of existence will emerge as the
|
||
hidden answer everybody is waiting for.
|
||
This month's top ten list is a little different. I am a firm believer
|
||
in the idea that man is not limited by his physical body. Arm yourself with
|
||
the knowledge necessary to survive in the coming new age world. The only
|
||
knowledge that when put into practice, truly will set you free.
|
||
|
||
1. Meditation.
|
||
This marks the beginning of a journey that will lead you closer to
|
||
yourself and the underlying reality available to everyone. Diligent
|
||
exercise of clearing your mind always results in the attainment of
|
||
higher states of consciousness. Zen Buddhists have known the potential
|
||
of this art for many centuries now. Pick up a good book on meditation
|
||
if you are seriously interested in beginning the mystical life most
|
||
people only dream about.
|
||
|
||
2. Lucid Dreaming.
|
||
In our dreams we are orchestrating those events which we cannot readily
|
||
act out in everyday life. Dreaming represents the mind's
|
||
interpretation of activity far beyond the conscious level. As you
|
||
notice upon wakening, the dream often is as "real" as daily life - that
|
||
is because it *is* real! Just not in the same way you are used to.
|
||
Lucid dreaming occurs when in a dream, you become aware that you are
|
||
dreaming. It is exciting! You can now control your dream, direct it
|
||
the way you want. The simple suggestion before you fall asleep of "I
|
||
am going to have a lucid dream" will put into motion the desire to
|
||
wake up in your dreams. Try it!
|
||
|
||
3. Astral-Projection.
|
||
Entering into trance, you feel the familiar buzzing throughout your
|
||
body characteristic of regular meditation. Your body feels lighter
|
||
and lighter, and suddenly you are free. Free from gravity, free from
|
||
solid matter, and free from the incessant activity of everyday
|
||
society. Your thoughts lead you on an adventure unknown to most.
|
||
Thinking of your deceased Aunt, you are immediately transported to a
|
||
face-to-face meeting with her. The exhilaration associated with this
|
||
technique is *unparalleled*.
|
||
|
||
4. Remote Viewing.
|
||
This was the subject of my earlier article. With enough practice
|
||
in meditation and astral-projection, remote viewing can become an
|
||
entirely viable activity for any student of the psychic phenomena.
|
||
When you remote-view, your body stays in one place, while your mind
|
||
traverses the universe, unbounded by space and time. Simply by
|
||
wishing yourself somewhere you can be instantly transported there.
|
||
You can see past events as if you are right there while it happened.
|
||
It is as if you are at a huge library of everything that ever occurred
|
||
in the universe, and you can pick any experience you want. When the
|
||
army attempts to utilize transcendental experiences like this for
|
||
military gain, you can understand why certain disaster occurs!
|
||
|
||
5. Hypnosis/Mind Control
|
||
Hypnosis is something which, for the most part, is readily accepted by
|
||
society. Its full power is not yet realized though. Hypnosis is the
|
||
process by which one person, well-versed in the subject, uses his/her
|
||
abilities to transport another person into an ASC. From this point,
|
||
the "subject" is in a very suggestible state, and can be made to do
|
||
anything, believe anything that the hypnotist desires! The fact that
|
||
one human can control another like a puppet should scare the living
|
||
shit out of us. But it doesn't. Why do you think that is?
|
||
|
||
6. Channeling
|
||
I have read books channelled from entities beyond our dimension.
|
||
Sound like science fiction? Think again. As indicated, channelling
|
||
is essentially when a human being "lends" his/her body to a separate
|
||
entity for the purpose of communicating a message. Usually the
|
||
channelled being is of much higher awareness than we can know. But
|
||
that is why they visit. To bring us closer to awareness. To put into
|
||
words information which is not currently known to our consciousness.
|
||
This is similar to automatic writing, whereby a writer experiences a
|
||
force "taking control" of the pen, and writing whole books while the
|
||
writer is under trance. Consult the list at the bottom if you are
|
||
interested in reading a channelled book.
|
||
|
||
7. Parallel Universe Theory
|
||
Without totally confusing you, I want to enlighten you as to some of
|
||
the current ways modern science has accepted the existence of psychic
|
||
phenomena. One of these is the parallel universes theory. This
|
||
describes our physical universe as but one of an infinite amount of
|
||
universes, each one unique. Every action is broken down into choices,
|
||
and the different outcome of each choice is manifested as a new,
|
||
"potential" reality. On the sub-atomic level, it is believed that at
|
||
every instant a photon has the option to go one of two different paths,
|
||
two different universes will be created, each identical except that in
|
||
one the photon went left, and in the other it went right (for example).
|
||
The basis is that *every* possibility, every permutation of events must
|
||
exist in a separate universe, each independent of the observer, (the
|
||
person perceiving the events).
|
||
|
||
8. Holographic Universe Theory
|
||
This is similar to the parallel universe theory, with some minor
|
||
differences. The idea of infinite universes still holds true, but
|
||
the concept of "macrocosm-microcosm" comes into effect. What that phrase
|
||
refers to is the oneness of everything. If you know how a hologram
|
||
works, you'll be on your way to understanding this new belief. A
|
||
hologram reflects images in 3D. An interesting characteristic of
|
||
holographic plates though, is that when you shatter one, each piece
|
||
still shows the whole picture. The *whole* picture is stored in every
|
||
tiny fragment of the hologram. With one minute particle of the
|
||
hologram you could reproduce the entire picture, in 3D. Take that
|
||
principle and apply it to our universe, and you'll start to appreciate
|
||
the validity of these newfound perception's on life.
|
||
|
||
9. Synchronicity.
|
||
I thought I would put this in here. Some of you may have heard of it,
|
||
are familiar with the principles of synchronicities (The term was
|
||
originally coined by Jung). Those who are not, have at the very least,
|
||
had one experience with it. A synchronicity is kind of like a bizarre
|
||
coincidence. Sometimes it is more easy to recognize. For example,
|
||
lets say you learned a new word at school one day; you'd never heard
|
||
this word used ever before. That night you hear it twice on TV, then
|
||
the next day the book you're reading has the word in it. Most people
|
||
would hopefully see the "coincidence" in that experience. I am telling
|
||
you it is not a coincidence, but actually a simple example of the
|
||
forces at work in our universe. Synchronicities occur because true
|
||
information exists beyond the physical world. Every thought, every
|
||
word you say has its own electromagnetic reality. The reoccurrence of
|
||
the word is nature's way of telling you "Wake up! Life is incredible!"

THOUGHTS, POEMS AND CREATIVE WRITING - {WRITING}
|
||
"A Few Simple Questions":
|
||
|
||
|
||
There are those around us that are ignorant and lost,
|
||
That won't offer an opinion, no matter what the cost.
|
||
They turn a deaf ear to the most logical suggestions.
|
||
They are too scared to answer a few simple questions...
|
||
|
||
"A Few Simple Questions"
|
||
|
||
Big Brother and his cameras are all over the place,
|
||
tracking all motions, and recording your face.
|
||
Why is our right to privacy dead?
|
||
In the name of crime, which the frail people dread.
|
||
|
||
Why are those in power always suspicious,
|
||
assuming that we are doing something malicious?
|
||
And yet in their integrity we are told to trust?
|
||
Ignoring their scandals, kickbacks, and lust?
|
||
|
||
Who are the victims of "society's" greed?
|
||
The hungry and tired, the people in need.
|
||
What do the affluent say with great glee?
|
||
"By making them suffer, there's more for me."
|
||
|
||
Why is that when good workers are fired,
|
||
the stock market bulls its way higher?
|
||
Do you feel this practice is sick and depraved?
|
||
For man is not a commodity or slave!
|
||
|
||
Why do most people put up with corruption?
|
||
Not seeing that it leads to destruction.
|
||
Maybe it is because they are gullible and naive?
|
||
Or is it perhaps they just don't want to believe?
|
||
|
||
Do you believe in everything you've been taught?
|
||
Never to question, or have a free thought?
|
||
To make you conform, they will wash your brain.
|
||
Your only defense is to go against the grain.
|
||
|
||
Don't those that have absorbed "society's" goals,
|
||
realize that they've given up their souls?
|
||
They are like ants in a colony, or an expendable soldier.
|
||
Unquestioningly following every edict and order.
|
||
|
||
For those honest men whom believe in what's right,
|
||
must find their deep courage, stand up, and fight.
|
||
Will virtuous free thinkers answer the call,
|
||
before this diseased "society" imprisons us all?

BLACKENED's Vicious Closing Comments:
|
||
|
||
With large networks, new types of systems and new technology emerging rapidly,
|
||
we have the opportunity to learn and do more than the early hackers and phreaks
|
||
ever dared dream of. They were only limited by what was at their fingertips.
|
||
However, the only limit that we have is our minds. There have been massive
|
||
changes in h/p since the 1970s and 80s but the basics remain the same. There
|
||
has been an influx of newbies, an internet explosion (FTP, Web Sites, IRC
|
||
channels, newsgroups etc.), faster systems, modems, more operating system and
|
||
software choices etc. and countless other changes directly relating to hacking
|
||
and phreaking. The only constant is that there are still many people involved
|
||
in the h/p scene... and that will never change. In fact, there's more h/p
|
||
support and better distribution than ever before. Information is easily
|
||
accessible. Plus, there are more Unix systems now than in the past, with ISPs
|
||
popping up all over the place. I've heard newbies bitching, crying and
|
||
complaining about "not BBSing in the early days of h/p when everyone shared
|
||
information, text files, codes etc." Haha. They don't even realize that much
|
||
more information is available to them right now than what existed back then.
|
||
Newbies can leech from the internet (for free), h/p boards (no ratio) etc. They
|
||
can read text files and magazines that were written by h/p groups from all over
|
||
the world... and they don't even have to phreak to be able to download them.
|
||
There is a tremendous difference between "now" and "then". Newbies can now
|
||
leech some excellent utilities that weren't previously available or distributed
|
||
worldwide. In 1998, we have systems that are powerful enough to use decryption
|
||
programs etc. without taking days to complete the task... as an example. ;)
|
||
We can even dial h/p boards via Telnet. Technology is constantly evolving
|
||
right around us. Don't just sit back and be a passenger that's along for the
|
||
ride. Participate, become actively involved and contribute to the h/p scene.
|
||
|
||
Explore your mind. Develop its power. Experiment and discover the true meaning
|
||
of h/p. It's an art. You must be creative, talented and artistic. You can't
|
||
rely solely on pure intellect, memorization or the ideas of others to learn.
|
||
You can't wait for someone else to take the initiative for you. You shouldn't
|
||
expect others to teach you what they know. Eliminate your linear, structured
|
||
way of thinking. Instead of just examining objects of technology that you don't
|
||
yet understand on the surface, look closer and try to learn ways to use it
|
||
that aren't known. Culture your knowledge like growing, multiplying bacteria.
|
||
Immerse yourself in information and absorb it through osmosis. Then associate
|
||
with people in the scene that are enlightened and have the same level of
|
||
knowledge. I hope that you've enjoyed reading this March issue. If you've
|
||
managed to learn something new, that's cool. If not, phreak off. ;)
