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