LOD
|
|
|

Legion of Doom
|
|
|
|
*IS* Back!

[Yes, the LOD is alive and well. Please ignore any other message
|
|
that makes contrary claims. Regardless of whether they appear to
|
|
come from this account or any other. If you wish confirmation of
|
|
this write to us. No other messages besides modified versions of
|
|
this original release will ever be posted by the LOD. ALL other
|
|
messages claiming to represent the LOD should be dismissed as the
|
|
obvious hoaxes that they are! Unfortunately though anyone can
|
|
easily post a message and make it appear to come from anyone else.
|
|
A sad flaw, that ruins the integrity of the net. We regret any
|
|
possible confusion, but again due to the nature of the net there
|
|
is nothing that can be done about it.]
|
|
|
|
THE LOD IS, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT QUESTION, OR BASIS IN ANY DOUBT
|
|
**BACK**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IGNORE ANY MESSAGE CLAIMING
|
|
OTHERWISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
|
No, that has not been a mis-print... the LOD has returned! The
|
|
world's greatest hacking group has formally been reinstated to
|
|
bring back dignity and respect to a scene that has rapidly
|
|
deteriorated since its departure.
|
|
|
|
The LOD is not just another "Group" that goes around with
|
|
upper/lower case names, trading in PBX's and VMB's and wouldn't
|
|
know COSMOS if it hit them over the head. It's a sad day indeed
|
|
when the term hacker is used to refer to every code and credit card
|
|
abusing rodent in the nation. We intend through our presence and
|
|
many innovative projects, not to mention the technical journal to
|
|
restore the original values of technical exploration and knowledge
|
|
that the term hacker was founded on.
|
|
|
|
The LOD imbodies the pinnacle of understanding that comes from
|
|
relentless exploration of the "system" backwards and forwards. It
|
|
is an organization dedicated to understanding the world's computer
|
|
and telephone networks. Enabling everyone to progress forward in
|
|
technology. The accumulated product of this - the Technical
|
|
Journals, full of information unavailible anywhere except from
|
|
telco manuals represents something to valuable to lose.
|
|
|
|
It is a true tragedy that after the great witch hunt that was
|
|
Operation Sun Devil that the former LOD died. If the powers that
|
|
be, think they can shut down real hackers by undertaking
|
|
unprovoked, uneeded not to mention unconstitutional draconian acts
|
|
they are mistaken. We will not be kept down!
|
|
|
|
We are a segment of society that enjoys what others label difficult
|
|
and technical. Exploration into the uncharted reaches of
|
|
technology is our calling. Information, learning and understanding
|
|
is what we are made of. As the technology revolution impacts us
|
|
all, it is the hackers and not the medieval statutes of the land
|
|
that will lead us forward.
|
|
|
|
This will be the primary of purpose the new, revived LOD - the
|
|
assembly and release of a Technical Journal. The previous 4
|
|
issues, now several years old BADLY need updating. If you don't
|
|
have the first 4 TJ's, and would like them (they are highly
|
|
recommended for anyone interested in learning more about this
|
|
field) they may can be found on ftp.eff.org and numerous other
|
|
sites that carry underground files. Or of course on any large BBS
|
|
or hack/phreak board.
|
|
|
|
The Journal will rely heavily on reader submitted articles and
|
|
information, so anything you wish to contribute would be GREATLY
|
|
appreciated. Acceptable submitions would include ORIGINAL articles
|
|
on various systems, services, security discussions, technical
|
|
specifications and doccumentation. Computer and telephone related
|
|
subjects are not the only ones acceptable. If you remember the
|
|
former journals had articles concerning interrogation, physical
|
|
security among others.
|
|
|
|
The next LOD Technical Journal will comprise almost entirely of
|
|
freelance or reader submitted articles. So without YOUR
|
|
contributions it can not proceed! Solid progress is being made in
|
|
the next Technical Journal by both freelancers and group members.
|
|
But bigger is better, as you can never have too much information or
|
|
instruction. SEND UP ALL ORIGINAL ARTICLES FOR PUBLICATION!!!
|
|
|
|
If you wish to hold the wonderful honour of being an LOD Member
|
|
(Won't this look good on the resume), you may apply by contacting
|
|
us. The qualifications should need no elaboration.
|
|
|
|
Regardless of the unbased claims made by others, the LOD is as
|
|
strong and capable as it ever was. Legendary groups like the LOD
|
|
are not born this way. They take time to form, and restarting
|
|
almost from scratch almost 3 years later, time is obviously needed.
|
|
We say to all the skeptics, hang on to your premature judgements
|
|
until we're on our feet and judge by actions not opinions.
|
|
|
|
To set the record straight once and for all, and to convince the
|
|
skeptics that doubt the validity of all this, the Legion of Doom
|
|
>IS< BACK. Next month, a full-fledged Technical Journal will be
|
|
widely released, and you're doubts and questions will be once and
|
|
for all answered with uncontestable fact.
|
|
|
|
In addition to needing articles for the upcoming Journals, some
|
|
sites on the net to aid in distribution would also be welcomed.
|
|
Someone willing to donate the resources necessary to operate a
|
|
subscription type mailing list service is also needed. Send all
|
|
offers and articles to our email account or P.O. Box...

(Closing date for article submittions to the LOD Technical Journal
|
|
Number 5 is: Monday 14 June, 1993.
|
|
Release date: Friday 18 June, 1993.
|
|
|
|
Since we have no monetary or contractual obligation to anyone,
|
|
these dates are of course tentative. But since or at least
|
|
initially we will rely almost entirely on reader submitions a date
|
|
is needed to get potential writers into gear.
|
|
|
|
Note that the LOD does not engage or condone illegal or criminal
|
|
activities. This would cover, but is not limited to, theft of long
|
|
distance services, credit fraud or data destruction/alteration.
