to ATI34. Don't mind me, I'm in a bad
|
|
mood today.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, we have lots in store for you
|
|
in this issue. We're going to make
|
|
this one a long one, as we've got lots
|
|
to say.
|
|
|
|
But first, a few words on the state of
|
|
ATI. Right now, there are a few BBSs
|
|
that regularly receive ATI issues.
|
|
But, I can't do all the uploading
|
|
myself, so we need a few volunteers to
|
|
help distribute ATI. We would like
|
|
ATI to be uploaded to as many boards as
|
|
possible, so start sending it to your
|
|
local boards, if you feel that they
|
|
can handle the fresh, biting, contro-
|
|
versial style of ATI (Yes, we have
|
|
come across some BBSs that prefer to
|
|
censor the views expressed in ATI from
|
|
their users! More on this in future
|
|
issues..) Also, I am putting up a BBS
|
|
in the next few days. As soon as I
|
|
get the software working properly, the
|
|
board will be up. Call 201-748-4005,
|
|
and if it isn't up when you call, try
|
|
again in a day or so. But it should be
|
|
up by the time you are reading this.
|
|
|
|
Also, note this: Tales Gallery's board
|
|
is back up. But he lost all the ATI
|
|
issues in a disk crash. Also, Audobon
|
|
in 703 is down, so don't kall it..
|
|
Here are the boards that regularly
|
|
receive ATI:
|
|
|
|
The Pheonix Project 512-441-3088
|
|
At-Tel 812-446-2881
|
|
F/X Animation 201-368-0573
|
|
Ry-Lor's Den 201-759-2066
|
|
Edge of Existence 201-746-9095
|
|
Limelight Technologies 203-834-0367
|
|
The Red Phone 201-748-4005
|
|
(my BBS! Yay!!)
|
|
|
|
The list grows regularly, as more and
|
|
more people upload ATI to their local
|
|
boards. If you are uploading ATI to
|
|
any boards, let us know, and I will
|
|
publish a more detailed list of boards
|
|
that have ATI online in a few weeks.
|
|
|
|
And also, from now on we will have a
|
|
BBS spotlight in just about every
|
|
upcoming issue as a regular feature.
|
|
We will either feature a BBS, or have
|
|
a brief article pertaining to BBSing.
|
|
If you know of a BBS you'd like to see
|
|
featured, let us know..
|
|
And here we go!!

The Public Greenpeace BBS
|
|
=========================
|
|
>> What are those maniacs up to NOW!?
|
|
Climbing smokestacks, hanging from bridges, diving into pools of
|
|
toxic waste, washing their sox in public, Greenpeacers engage in
|
|
direct actions around the world to raise public consciousness
|
|
about the environment.
|
|
Greenpeace has offices in 17 countries, a fleet of 5 ocean- going
|
|
ships, a river boat (which just completed a tour of the Great
|
|
Lakes and the Mississippi calling attention to water pollution
|
|
there) and several sailboats. Hundreds of Greenpeace volunteers
|
|
and employees use these tools daily to help protect the planet.
|
|
|
|
If you're interested in environmental issues and would like to
|
|
keep in touch with the latest Greenpeace actions around the
|
|
world, EnviroNet is for you.

And now... A rare treat. Ever wish you
|
|
could check out some of the many chats
|
|
that go on between people in the
|
|
phreak/hack world? Well, now we bring
|
|
you a chat that we are sure will bring
|
|
you chuckles, courtesy of an anonymous
|
|
uploader to my board. To protect the
|
|
"innocent", we've edited out names.
|
|
hopefully we'll have more of these
|
|
chats for your viewing pleasure.
|
|
Read on!
|
|
|
|
ok.. written down... So anyway, need any new members in your group????
|
|
|
|
Uh, well, knowledgeable ones. I'm not
|
|
trying to be a jerk, but you have a lot
|
|
to learn.
|
|
|
|
no prob ... I'll translate that: "Yes,
|
|
but not you!!!!!!!!!!!" heh! :) .. I
|
|
kinda figured that ... Owell, it was
|
|
worth a shot.. heh!
|
|
|
|
uh, you keep interrupitn me when I am
|
|
typing! pls stop. anyway, as I was
|
|
going to say, we are also looking for
|
|
people who are not only knowldegable,
|
|
but who have the same ideology as us,
|
|
and I do vbelieve that it might be
|
|
difficult. me abnd XXXXX are very
|
|
similar in a lot of ways, we think
|
|
very much alike..
|
|
|
|
|
|
owell .. :( .. So.. you have NOTHING
|
|
other than your discovery??!?! (I had
|
|
an amazing discovery not 2 long ago 2.
|
|
it lasted for a good 3 - 4 months ..
|
|
I gave it to XXXX and a local friend
|
|
of mine.. no probs.. But when XXXXXXX
|
|
got it, THAT WAS MISTAKE #1 ... He
|
|
gave it out too too many people, and
|
|
NOBODY but me was allowed 2 give it
|
|
out .. And I WAS PISSED TO HELL.. but
|
|
hey, 3 months on an alliance, and
|
|
worldwide supporting accidental
|
|
discovery ain't bad ..
|
|
|
|
|
|
uh huh, and what was this "discovery"?
|
|
|
|
It was some military base kind of
|
|
thing.. their phone system.. it had
|
|
extensions and wierd shit.. kind of an
|
|
exotic PBX ... It had uh.. 6570 - 6579,
|
|
6581 - 6589, 6591 - 6594 were possible
|
|
last 4 digit phone #'s of the 800 # ..
|
|
when calling the # (which all of 'em
|
|
are now disconnected :( ), dialing 20
|
|
would give an AT&T dialtone that could
|
|
reach out and touch the world .. Then
|
|
after they finally caught on to that
|
|
(after 2.5 months), I noticed that 9
|
|
would also give a 2nd dialtone .. if I
|
|
tried 2 dial a 1 + # .. it would give
|
|
3 fast dialtones and another normal
|
|
dialtone 2 enter a 5 digit code.. but
|
|
these people were stupid .. if
|
|
i called up, dialed 9, and then instead
|
|
of 1 + ac + ph, but instead 0 + ac +
|
|
ph, 2 things would happen:
|
|
|
|
A. I could enter an AT&T calling card
|
|
B. Just dial 0, bullshit operator that
|
|
my phone is broken and she would dial
|
|
the phone # for me! I used that method pletny!
|
|
So did a few friends of mine!
|
|
AND .... Most hilarious of all.. when
|
|
dialing the 9 for the dialtone, it
|
|
could be used as an extender, or it
|
|
could reach ALLIANCE without any code
|
|
BS!!! Dialing 0-700-456-1000 wouldn't
|
|
get you an AT&T calling card tone OR
|
|
the operator, so soooo many conferences
|
|
were made off of that trick WE really
|
|
did damage to that company phonebill
|
|
wise.. But we weren't trying to
|
|
purposely do that, we just wanted
|
|
conferences ... So I gotta admit,
|
|
screwing around with 800 #'s and
|
|
KOOK's handle from ddial got me 3
|
|
months of heaven!! Now you may type:
|
|
|
|
how does kook come into play here?
|
|
|
|
The 800 # had his name in it .. I was
|
|
just looking at the ddial, and on my
|
|
other line I was dialing #'s with
|
|
people's handles.. I was trying for
|
|
1-800-456 .. And 56 is KO .. The OK
|
|
for KOOK is 65 .. and then I just hit
|
|
77 for some unknown reason .. I heard
|
|
a dialtone .. And within 10 mins, I
|
|
hacked out 21 + 9 for an
|
|
outside dialtone .. it wasn't a great
|
|
quality tone .. only a few days later
|
|
did I realize 20 w/o a 9 after it gave
|
|
a clean AT&T line that was almost as
|
|
clear as US SPRINT
|
|
|
|
|
|
i see. you dialed 1-800-456-XXXX from
|
|
ur house?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah.. Sometimes thru an extender ..
|
|
But I'm not worried.. this was a dumb-
|
|
fuck company .. I know it's MCI ..
|
|
|
|
I thought you said that it was owned
|
|
by the military?
|
|
|
|
It was some military installation shit.
|
|
not the army .. just some office or
|
|
some crap.. no big deal.. A really
|
|
stupid company .. if they can't figure
|
|
out in their phone system that I can
|
|
reach alliance, the most expensive
|
|
form of calling I make without the
|
|
help of the operator or w/o a calling
|
|
card, THEY ARE DUMB .. It's too serious
|
|
to be careless.. Trust me, they were a
|
|
lame company ..
|
|
|
|
i see..ah well..
|
|
|
|
so how much GREATER is your discovery
|
|
in magnitude? (Mine was pure LUCK)
|
|
|
|
i am not into head trips. it doesn't
|
|
matter, what matters is that it works
|
|
and is very simple. I discovered
|
|
another thing that every 15 yr old
|
|
would *kill* to have..actually,
|
|
*everyone* would kill to have this
|
|
other discovery. the 2nd discovery is
|
|
ten times better
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can you tell me ONE of the discovery's?
|
|
I told u mine ... Exactly what I knew
|
|
on the system ... Oh.. the system had
|
|
one more thing I forgot to mention..
|
|
When calling the 800 # and hearing the
|
|
initial dial tone, dialing 199 would
|
|
give a SPRINT like TONE .. or an MCI
|
|
tone, whatever.. I couldn't figure out
|
|
how many cdigits the codes were
|
|
|
|
if I told you, everyone would be beggin
|
|
me for it. i would never have any
|
|
peace!
|
|
|
|
Well, the only way I can answer that
|
|
is "I won't tell ANYBODY AT ALL that I
|
|
even have this discovery" .. And if
|
|
people somehow manage to find that
|
|
much out (which they WON'T cause I
|
|
WON'T TELL), I'll never EVER EVER
|
|
mention your name .. EVER
|
|
|
|
sorry this is my favorite toy. im not
|
|
done playing wiyth it yet. when i get
|
|
b0red with it i will give it to you.
|
|
|
|
Ok.. How 'bout the 2nd discovery? (and
|
|
for either or both, can you just answer
|
|
me if they are on 800 #'s?)
|
|
|
|
the 2nd one is my toy. the 1st one, I
|
|
need..
|
|
|
|
ok.. but are they on 800 #'s??
|
|
|
|
one is, one is not
|
|
|
|
hmm.. the 2nd one is NOT I take it..
|
|
from the way you make it sound.. it
|
|
sounds like you figured out a back door
|
|
in a local 950 or something ..
|
|
|
|
perhap, but perhaps not..
|
|
|
|
well.. no biggie.. I'll wait 4 ya 2 get bored .. heh! :)
|
|
|
|
hehe. so do you have a new c0de line
|
|
up?
|
|
|
|
Not yet.. haven't checked if my other 2
|
|
boxes still work ..
|
|
|
|
Hmm. hang on a sec.
|
|
|
|
Both boxes still work ... so I can put
|
|
up another codeline at will .. but all
|
|
the lamer f*cks who call it don't
|
|
leave codes, so what's the point?
|
|
|
|
i wil get u some stuff to start it and
|
|
give the # to /<-rad people
|
|
|
|
the last time you did that, I had tons
|
|
of stuff from you on my line.. what
|
|
happened?? People said "Hey, thanx a
|
|
lot for the codes! But I don't have
|
|
anything now, but I'll get stuff soon
|
|
and post it".. a week goes by, 2 weeks
|
|
a month, a year, a decade .. NO CODES
|
|
from these lamers.. They're just me,
|
|
er uh LEECHES ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
uh, u interrrupted me again,. that's
|
|
annoying, but anyway, i will give the
|
|
# to cool people this time.
|
|
|
|

|
|
were done this time ... Well, I won't
|
|
let it out on ddial then if you can
|
|

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
ok... no prob.. I'm setting up my
|
|

=======================================

And here's a bit of info you might find
|
|
useful, contributed by my good buddy
|
|
THE SNETSMEISTER (203):
|
|
|
|
FRIENDLY INWARDS ????
|
|
|
|
Operators can be friendly, if you
|
|
say the right words. Dial 0 on a non-
|
|
coin fone and say "Hello,this is HOBIC,
|
|
would you please connect me to Rate and
|
|
Route ?" Rate and Route is an inward
|
|
operator for the 716 area code. The
|
|
TSPS operator will dial KP716121 no
|
|
ama(no charge) and release the call
|
|
from his or her console. you can then
|
|
ask the operator to dial any number in
|
|
the 716 area code and she will think
|
|
that you are an operator and you will
|
|
take care of the billing. You have just
|
|
made a free call to any 716-XXX-XXXX.
|
|
REMEMBER TO SOUND LIKE AN OPERATOR,
|
|
SAY ASSISTANCE IN DIALING 716-XXX-XXXX
|
|
ON A NO RING. AS SOON AS THE FONE IS
|
|
RINGING, SHE WILL RELEASE THE CALL
|
|
FROM HER CONSOLE AND AS FAR AS THE
|
|
OPERATORS ARE CONCERNED, SOMEONE IS
|
|
PAYING FOR THE CALL.
|
|
|
|
SNETSMEISTER

(But what if you don't know anyone in
|
|
716? Hehehe... -GZ)

*college-type stuff*
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was walking about my campus
|
|
one morning when a rather disquieting
|
|
sight greeted me: An advertisement
|
|
from a fraternity seeking pledges
|
|
called TKE displaying a 6 ft tall
|
|
smiling blonde woman in a very scant
|
|
bikini. The text of the ad read:
|
|
"Tau Kappa Epsilon" at the top of the
|
|
page, and the words "Consider the
|
|
Possibilities" were printed next to the
|
|
picture of the woman. How blatantly
|
|
sexist. Naturally, I tore down
|
|
the ad, and patrolled the campus in 20
|
|
degree weather and tore down any other
|
|
copies of the ad I saw. I even saw
|
|
another girl tearing down one of the
|
|
offending ads, and another female
|
|
student wrote a letter to the editor of
|
|
the campus newspaper protesting the
|
|
ads before I got a chance to.
|
|
Also, the director of the Women's
|
|
Center wrote a letter stating, "The
|
|
offering of a disrobing woman by a
|
|
fraternity to its pledges suggest many
|
|
possiblities that could involve actions
|
|
that women find unwelcome.....In a
|
|
social climate that allows people to
|
|
tolerate, even accept, violence against
|
|
women, it is not only offensive but
|
|
also potentially dangerous to women
|
|
to present them as objects to be used
|
|
by the men who join a particular
|
|
organization".
|
|
Right on, ladies!
|
|
Another interesting development:
|
|
A new organization has popped up on
|
|
my campus. A "New Age" club. Jeez.
|
|
It calls itself "The Amethyst Unicorn".
|
|
How catchy. A poster advertising the
|
|
club lists subjects it deals with:
|
|
mysticism, herbalism, crystals, and
|
|
even the topic of nuclear disarmament
|
|
was listed along with the other
|
|
hairbrained items. I wonder.. Would
|
|
they use crystals to achieve nuclear
|
|
disarmament? Yeah, that's the ticket.
|
|
This reminds me of a line from
|
|
a British movie I saw called "Sammy
|
|
and Rose Get Laid". Sammy and Rose were
|
|
a married couple with a circle of
|
|
radical/gay/just-plain-weird friends.
|
|
When Sammy's father (who was from
|
|
India) visits, a flaky, shallow female
|
|
friend of Sammy's asked his father
|
|
if he meditates. The old man sighed
|
|
and just said, "The world is like a
|
|
cultural department store to you
|
|
people. You just aimlessly travel to
|
|
each floor, taking something from each
|
|
floor to satisfy your egos". Sounds
|
|
like that this "New Age" junk is all
|
|
about. Just totally phony to me.
|
|
But hey.. I'd better not rile
|
|
these "New Agers" up too badly. Maybe
|
|
they'll cast a spell on me (*gasp*)..

* News From the Front.. *
|
|
|
|
The Enforcer (502) was busted
|
|
along with 2 other teenagers local
|
|
to him. The three were busted for
|
|
making a total of over $40,000 worth
|
|
of fraudulent calls using a local TMC
|
|
dialup. The local telco had a trace
|
|
of incoming calls to the dialup, and
|
|
the outgoing calls on the service were
|
|
recorded with a pen register. FBI
|
|
agents visited homes of the three and
|
|
confiscated all their computer equip-
|
|
ment, disks and notebooks.
|
|
The local TV stations in
|
|
Kentucky had a ball reporting this
|
|
development, as this was the first of
|
|
its kind in that area. In their
|
|
report of the story, they showed note-
|
|
books belonging to the three, as well
|
|
as some of their disks. The camera
|
|
made an emphasis on a disk belonging to
|
|
The Enforcer labeled "Fast Hack'Em",
|
|
making the viewers think that it was
|
|
some diabolical program used for
|
|
hacking. Fast Hack'Em is merely a file
|
|
copy program for the Commodore! Also,
|
|
that TV station is in a lot of trouble,
|
|
as one of the notebooks they shown had
|
|
the real name of one of the three
|
|
teenagers. This is illegal, for all
|
|
three are minors, and their real names
|
|
are not supposed to be released by
|
|
the media. Parents of the teen in
|
|
question are considering a lawsuit.
|
|
Skyy King (317) was busted
|
|
recently, the main charge against him
|
|
being credit card fraud. He used
|
|
credit cards to set up a Phone Base
|
|
account, for which MCI is pressing
|
|
charges. He is also being charged with
|
|
toll fraud.
|
|
Bill The Cat (317) was busted
|
|
for hacking codes on the recently-
|
|
abused Rockwell International PBX
|
|
(800-247-1028), and also for hacking
|
|
codes on his local MCI radius.
|
|
The Arizona Kid (602) and Joe
|
|
Friday (918) were busted for toll
|
|
fraud as well. The Arizona Kid was
|
|
caught using a variety of LD services
|
|
including SouthernNet and Sun,and
|
|
faces up to 7 1/2 years of prison.
|
|
A lot of busts out there. Keep
|
|
your noses clean. They're out for
|
|
blood.
|
|
And here's an interesting thing:
|
|
I received a mailing from AT&T asking
|
|
me to select their long distance 1+
|
|
service, saying that after 60 days
|
|
they would reimburse me for the cost
|
|
that NJ Bell would charge me for a
|
|
PIC change. And I noticed an inter-
|
|
esting thing: My name and address was
|
|
formatted on their mailing exactly
|
|
the same way it appears on my NJ Bell
|
|
telephone bill when I get it. Also,
|
|
my telephone number appeared on the
|
|
mailing as 201 748 4005 with a 3-digit
|
|
code (called the "customer code", used
|
|
by NJ Bell only for records) next to
|
|
it, also identical to the way it
|
|
appears on my phone bill. I wonder
|
|
why NJ Bell is providing AT&T with
|
|
this information? I thought it was
|
|
illegal for them to favor one LD
|
|
carrier in its marketing like that. If
|
|
it's not illegal, it's at the very
|
|
least unethical.
|
|
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
|
Well, well, well. We still have a lot
|
|
more stuff for you, but we decided
|
|
to release it in the next ATI, as we
|
|
don't want to make this one TOO long.
|
|
|
|
So look for ATI35 in a few days. It
|
|
will have my article on Doc
|
|
Telecom's and Raider's time in prison,
|
|
plus a few other surprises that I'm
|
|
sure you'll enjoy. We have a 2-part
|
|
series on voice mail coming up,which
|
|
will probably appear in ATI35/36
|
|
or 36/37.
|
|
|
|
But anyway.. Take care, stay out
|
|
of trouble, and be creative. And
|
|
we'll leave you with a song:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(tune: 'safety dance')
|
|
|
|
we can hack if we want to,
|
|
we can commit computer crime
|
|
we can transfer money from one
|
|
bank to another on the
|
|
president's private line
|
|
|
|
we can phreak if we want to,
|
|
call long-distance all the time
|
|
with access codes and touchtone phones
|
|
we'll never pay a doggone dime!
|
|
we can hack, we can phreak
|
|
hackers are taking control
|
|
we can hack, we can phreak,
|
|
phreaking from a telephone pole
|
|
|
|
ma bell will try to trace us,
|
|
but we'll stay one step ahead
|
|
but don't call too much or
|
|
you'll run out of luck
|
|
and get busted by the feds!
|
|
|
|
we can crack if we want to,
|
|
getting wares before they're out,
|
|
posting them on local ae lines,
|
|
and every bbs in town
|
|
|
|
we can hack, we can phreak
|
|
hackers are taking control
|
|
we can hack, we can phreak,
|
|
phreaking from a telephone pole
|
|
|
|
|
|
