1. Introduction
|
||
|
||
Welcome to the Consortium. This is the premier issue of a new
|
||
electronic "newsletter" that was formed with one purpose in mind, the
|
||
free exchange of information. Over the years, there have been many
|
||
such publications, Phrack, 2600, cDc, etc. We are in NO way trying to
|
||
compete or even COMPARE to these publications. We're here to offer
|
||
information, amusement, knowledge and practical skills to anyone who
|
||
has the ability to obtain and read this newsletter.
|
||
|
||
The Consortium is not about hacking, phreaking, anarchy, explosives,
|
||
music, pirating, credit card fraud or any of the other "underground"
|
||
hobbies, although it is highly likely that you'll find articles on
|
||
almost all of the above in the months (and hopefully years) to come.
|
||
|
||
Throughout the years, the world of telecommunications has changed
|
||
drastically. When I first entered the scene back in 1983, things were
|
||
different. People were using BBS systems and the telecom world as a form
|
||
of communication, a form of education, and a hobby. It wasn't a lifestyle,
|
||
it wasn't a medium to give everyone an alternate "fake" personality. It
|
||
was just there. In the more recent years, it seems the "newbies" have
|
||
gotten the idea that the whole invention of BBS systems were to allow them
|
||
to all log on an act like prepubescent assholes and get away with it.
|
||
Hopefully, we can educate them otherwise, or the entire ideology of
|
||
telecommuncations as we know it may go down the tubes.
|
||
|
||
Well, you've gotten the introduction, you know what the Consortium
|
||
is about, and you know what we're attempting to do. You MUST excuse me if
|
||
the "look and feel" of this publication isn't up to par for the first few
|
||
issues, we've got to get the writers going, and some ideas flowing and
|
||
work on our entire appearance. In any case.......

2. You, UNIX and Password Security
|
||
|
||
UNIX is very possibly the most secure operating system in existance...
|
||
if the administrators of a UNIX system are educated in the ways of proper
|
||
UNIX administration and security, that is.
|
||
|
||
When a UNIX system is first set up, there are several different accounts
|
||
that come stock with the system. It's the responsibility of those setting the
|
||
system up to change the passwords of those accounts, remove those accounts,
|
||
or in some other way remove the accounts from public access. There are,
|
||
however, those uneducated system administrators, who are either unaware of
|
||
these accounts, ignorant that there are information-seekers who would take
|
||
particular intrest in the access these accounts would provide, or just plain
|
||
lazy and are unwilling to bother with disabling access to these accounts.
|
||
Whatever the case may be, their loss is our gain. And what do we have to gain?
|
||
Information, education, and knowledge.
|
||
|
||
Here is a listing of typical default accounts on UNIX systems. This
|
||
listing is bound to change from flavor to flavor. Some may work, none may
|
||
work, or every one may work. If you've got the patience (or ability to code)
|
||
then you're BOUND to find a crack or two if you try enough systems. (Username
|
||
and password are the same, unless specifically noted otherwise.)
|
||
|
||
adm, admin, ann, anon, anonymous, backup, batch, bin, checkfsys, daemon,
|
||
demo, diag, field, ftp, games, help, install, listen, lp, lpadmin, maint,
|
||
makefsys, mountfsys, network, news, nobody, nuucp, nuucpa, operator,
|
||
powerdown, printer, pub, public, reboot, rje, rlogin, root, sa, setup,
|
||
shutdown, startup, sync, sys, sysadm, sysadmin, sysman, system, tech,
|
||
test, trouble, tty, umountfsys, user, user1, uucp, uucpa, visitor,
|
||
guest/guest, guest/anonymous, sysbin/sysbin, sysbin/bin
|
||
|
||
Once inside the system, be it with your own account or with one of the
|
||
ones listed above, you should probably scan for accounts that lack passwords.
|
||
The password file is in the /etc directory. The name of the file is passwd.
|
||
Every user has access to read this file, yet select few have access to write
|
||
to it. For our purposes, you only need to be able to read it.
|
||
|
||
A typical account entry would look something like the following:
|
||
|
||
two:wfllbtdq:100:100:Two Face:/usr/two:/usr/ucb/csh
|
||
(1) (2) (3) (4) (4) (5) (6)
|
||
|
||
It may help some to explain exactly what the line above means. To help,
|
||
each field has been numbered, and will be explained.
|
||
|
||
The first field is the username. The second field is the encrypted
|
||
password. The third field is the user id (file ownership is based on a
|
||
user number that is unique to each user, as opposed to the actual username.
|
||
While it's an impersonal method of file ownership, it's rather effective...)
|
||
The fourth field is the group id (which works the same way as individual
|
||
file ownership, except for that it applies to all users in a particular
|
||
group...) The fifth field is the user's home directory. The sixth field is
|
||
the startup program. We only need to be concerned with the first two fields,
|
||
however.
|
||
|
||
As you can see, each field is sepperated by the : symbol. If this account
|
||
was not password protected, the line would look like this:
|
||
|
||
two::100:100:Two Face:/usr/two:/usr/ucb/csh
|
||
|
||
UNIX comes with a program called grep. What grep does is search any given
|
||
file(s) for a user-specified string. In this case, we want it to search for
|
||
any occurance of :: in the passwd file. Once logged into the system, run this
|
||
command:
|
||
|
||
grep :: /etc/passwd
|
||
|
||
Any line(s) that grep outputs for you are accounts that lack passwords.
|
||
Some SysAdmins don't allow for null passwords, though it IS worth the effort
|
||
to at least check to see if any unprotected accounts work.
|
||
|
||
If you know of any other interesting tricks involving password security
|
||
on UNIX based systems, or happen to have a listing of what function each
|
||
telnet port serves, please send mail to ed@gnu.ai.mit.edu

3. The Misrepresentation of Telecommuncations Enthusiasts.
|
||
|
||
It is not a new thing, nor is it something that will go away
|
||
anytime soon. For years we have been subject of many "attacks"
|
||
coming from mainstream media sources. Many major magazines like
|
||
Time, and many television programs such as Dateline have given
|
||
telecommunications a bad name. They have done this by allowing
|
||
small factions of "concerned citizens" to use their shows as a
|
||
medium for their own over active imaginations. These shows and
|
||
others are explaining to the already clay-like entities watching
|
||
them that there are many bad types on large networks, and even
|
||
some smaller BBSes. These shows have come up with every
|
||
conceivable person that COULD be accessing a modem from a
|
||
pedophile to Neo-Nazi's. This is not a joke. These shows always
|
||
seem to air late at night, when any respectable computer user is
|
||
hacking away on a new program working out the latest bugs.
|
||
However, as most computer users find no time to get to their
|
||
T.V. sets during the day, their parents however, may be glued to
|
||
it. For it is truly the media of their generation. When an
|
||
advertisement appears for a show stating something about what
|
||
THEIR child may be party to, they WILL listen. These shows like
|
||
all T.V. shows have a captive audience. These shows can tell
|
||
people whatever it is they wish them to believe, and the
|
||
uninformed WILL believe it. These programs and articles do not
|
||
even take the time to allude to the fact that these "bad people"
|
||
are a very small faction of users. Most users in the BBS world
|
||
have never been a subject to this.
|
||
|
||
Another annoying article I read in Time Magazine a month ago
|
||
was called 'Scribes on the Internet'. This explained that with
|
||
the onslaught of new users making their way to the internet, most
|
||
of these users were spelling, and grammatically challenged.
|
||
This is a fact that most Bulletin Board Users have to deal with
|
||
constantly. The 3l33t3 d00d speak like this that annoys almost
|
||
all BBS users with a clue, is portrayed as the new way of the
|
||
virtual world. I am insulted. Whereas I am not the greatest
|
||
grammar freak, I *NEVER* spoke in the K00L, or KEWL manner. I
|
||
thought it was completely stupid. If you even tried this on a
|
||
Bulletin Board in this area you would most likely lose access if
|
||
you did not and I quote "Get a clue."
|
||
|
||
If I am wrong about this then I am living a sheltered life.
|
||
I have never used AOL, why WOULD I? I have however used the
|
||
original AOL, Q-LINK, which was much the same. Neither I nor
|
||
anyone I know that does access pay on-line services has seen this
|
||
type of thing happening. Though, with the large on-line services
|
||
around, I believe it occurs. It does not however occur on any
|
||
local bulletin boards that I have access to. As you read this
|
||
article think to yourself, If you are a real user then you
|
||
probably use on-line services very little. If you do, or do not,
|
||
have you ever seen or been victim to such acts? Are there any
|
||
local Neo-Nazi BBSes in YOUR area? The on-line world is NOT a
|
||
new frontier, it was almost completely plotted when I joined it,
|
||
and that was 10 years ago. These people do not take the time to
|
||
see how the real Telecommunications world works. Most of the
|
||
users on my BBS know who I am, and vice versa. In fact, I hang
|
||
out with most of the Bulletin Board users I know. We have formed
|
||
many friendships on-line, and broken many also.
|
||
|
||
If you are a young user, under the age of 18, think about
|
||
this. If you think I am right, take the time to educate your
|
||
parents. How can they understand something of this magnitude?
|
||
NEVER in their lives has anything such as this on this scale
|
||
happened. I applaud all attempts of the older generation to
|
||
learn about computers and the on-line world. We should help them
|
||
to understand it is not a haven for punks, and criminals.
|
||
However, to quote probably what your parents think, we have to
|
||
raise them OUR way. We cannot allow them to take their own paths
|
||
in this new area for them, if they do they will mess up. They
|
||
will start to form groups such as Prodigy, AOL, CompuServe,
|
||
things that have no place in the on-line world. I am not
|
||
against having pay services, and even to make some money off
|
||
them, but do not take every bit you can get from it. The on-line
|
||
world is here for one purpose, and one purpose only, "The free
|
||
exchange of information" -RBBS.
|
||
|
||
This type of show is typical of the news media. They will
|
||
try to discredit all forms of media that are not in the
|
||
mainstream media. Bulletin Boards are very much media in many
|
||
ways. News can be found on-line, along with information on
|
||
movies, bands, new albums, etc. There are also many, many forms
|
||
of entertainment that just cannot be equaled by an outside force
|
||
like media. T.V. ratings dropped when computers started offering
|
||
games, and other miraculous toys to play with. Why would the
|
||
media want that? Power, and ratings are the two driving goals
|
||
of media. With the arrival of the modem, and widespread
|
||
telecommunications we are now able to get news immediately.
|
||
Also, who are you more likely to trust? The news that states a
|
||
movie is the best thing since The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Or,
|
||
your on-line friends who watched it and told you it sucked beyond
|
||
belief? You tell me...

4. My Life At The Revival Tent:
|
||
|
||
Safe Sex, Cereal, and Subliminal Islam
|
||
|
||
By Iesu Christe Dominae
|
||
|
||
It was far too early for any soon-to-be high school junior to have to
|
||
wake up in the foggy midst of summer . Seven O'Clock A.M. was a time that had
|
||
long since slipped into obscurity by one August 3rd, 1994, the summer in full
|
||
swing and myself destined at that ungodly hour to shit, shower and shave for
|
||
Lollapalooza '94, where I would dazzle the masses alongside my poetic con-
|
||
temporaries in the enigmatic Revival Tent.
|
||
|
||
We had planned it all out: us poetry people would all meet at roughly
|
||
8:30-9:00 outside Fellini's cafe on Wickenden St. in East Providence, where
|
||
we would have a quick strategic conference and cement our general lack of
|
||
knowledge as to the procedure we would follow once we actually got to
|
||
'Palooza. That portion went off almost without a hitch, with the possible
|
||
exception of our leaving a half hour later than we planned. Things could
|
||
have been much, much worse.
|
||
|
||
We all broke into our little car pools. I was riding with Dawn Gabriel
|
||
(a member of the infamous telcom-havoc-wreaking Gabriel clan) and Ray Davey,
|
||
host of the Providence Poetry Slam Series at AS220 (and accomplished
|
||
performance poet in his own right,) with local legend Derrick Prosper
|
||
(veteran of innumerable slam championships) following us to Quonset State
|
||
Airport in his dilapidated Honda. Also hauling ass into North Kingstown were
|
||
Worcester hellraisers Otis Galloway, Bill MacMillan (host of the Worcester
|
||
slams at Eleni's cafe), and Diane "Bucking Hips" Brown: The Virgin Poet,
|
||
Sean Shea: fellow minors Mary Geisser and Mark Krauss: and some other
|
||
people whose names I always seemed to miss.
|
||
|
||
Our car arrived at Quonset to be greeted by the most submoronic
|
||
security staff ever to don blue shirts. After being deftly pointed on our
|
||
way by R.I.'s finest (a small gaggle of State Troopers whose concentration
|
||
was rather inefficiently split between shooting the shit and directing
|
||
traffic) we set out in search of Gate 7, the fabled Vendor's gate. Luckily,
|
||
the planets were correctly aligned and we found it (with a little help from
|
||
the white-shirted 'Palooza touring security.) Here's a little hint: if you
|
||
wanna get into a show like Lolla (with spoken word) for free, ask around
|
||
about the Vendor's gate and attempt entry by saying "We're poets." They're
|
||
apparently some kind of magic incantation, because it got us through with
|
||
nary a question. We created our own parking space some distance from
|
||
backstage and set out in search of our passes.
|
||
|
||
Saints be praised, we eventually found our contact - after being
|
||
consistently misguided by the same security guard. (I've advanced the
|
||
theory that they just hire one or two actual security guards and clone
|
||
them. The fuckers all look alike.) As Ray went into the exceptionally large
|
||
Greyhound bus discreetly labeled "Mindfield Production Office", something
|
||
happened.
|
||
|
||
A woman (about 5'4", with shoulder length brown hair) was making her
|
||
way toward the bus. As she opened one of the side compartments and began
|
||
retrieving luggage, I realized who this was - possibly one of my favorite
|
||
spoken-word performers alive, Maggie Estep. Rather than behaving like a
|
||
gibbering fanboy, I decided that I would take the quietly respectful
|
||
approach.
|
||
|
||
As she was dragging a large flight bag across the dew tip'd grass, I
|
||
worked my way in front of her. "So this is the sex goddess of the 20th
|
||
century," I said, grossly misquoting a poem of hers. She grinned a
|
||
half-cocked grin at me. Slowly, I extended a fist toward her.
|
||
|
||
"Po-TA-to," I said.
|
||
|
||
"WHAT?" she replied incredulously.
|
||
|
||
"Po-TA-to," I insisted.
|
||
|
||
"I'm tired. Don't confuse me."
|
||
|
||
I briefly and akwardly illustrated "potato."
|
||
|
||
"Now what?" she inquired.
|
||
|
||
"That's it." I walked away, strangely pleased with myself.
|
||
|
||
We got our neato little patches and rejoined the rest of our caravan,
|
||
who were already congregated with the Boston people at the enigmatic Revival
|
||
Tent. We were greeted by the soothing sounds of one of the road poets, Uncle
|
||
Shappy, doing impromptu Karaoke to to some hideous 70's music playing over
|
||
the tent's sound system. Meanwhile, the crowds at the gates were swelling
|
||
like a cancerous tumor on this formerly peaceful airstrip. After a half hour,
|
||
some tangoing, and more Karaoke than is ordinarily humanly bearable, we had
|
||
a brief strategic meeting and then went about corraling an audience from the
|
||
masses now milling about Quonset. To this end, Bill took the cordless
|
||
microphone and went out into the crowd, promising that "If I get a hundred
|
||
people in this tent in the next 10 minutes, I will walk from here to the
|
||
main stage naked!" I must confess, I haven't seen any kind of tent fill up
|
||
that fast since Guantanamo the last time Castro opened the borders. Liz, a
|
||
road poet, pulled people out of the audience and asked them "What band are
|
||
you here to see?", "Can you recite some lyrics from that band?", etc. And
|
||
while Bill never had an opportunity to make good on his previous promise,
|
||
an audience member had that same general idea - he walked onto the stage,
|
||
completely naked, to be interviewed by Liz. Most of the neo-alt preppies
|
||
there gawked embarassingly as he wandered back out into the crowd, while
|
||
two security guards laughed their asses off not 30 feet away from him. We
|
||
didn't see him again.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Bill opened a round of "Round Robin" (poets pass the mic, read a poem,
|
||
pass the mic to someone else). I took that chance to read "My name is Henry"
|
||
and the infamous Fabio poem to the expectant crowd. Otis followed my porno-
|
||
graphic tirade with a poem about using a condom, during which I fished some
|
||
out of the big prop box and passed them out. Eventually, however, the Bore-
|
||
doms won out over the tent for me, and I went off stageward to groove to
|
||
their funky Japanese hardcore beat (the three words that they know in English
|
||
are "Fuck" and "Thank you") under the influence of a free Smart Drink that
|
||
Dawn, Mary and I coaxed out of a bombed Mindfield employee (who looked un-
|
||
cannily like Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots fame.) When next I saw the tent,
|
||
the road poet posse were rocking the mic (verily, fuckin' shit up. (That's a
|
||
good thing.))
|
||
|
||
After some wandering the in the pretentious, overpriced "Mindfield," I
|
||
found my buddy Jubb (in addition to running into an ex-girlfriend - something
|
||
I can never seem to avoid doing.) We hung out for a long time, and I brought
|
||
him back to the tent where we watched some more road and local poets jam.
|
||
By some freakish chance, I was selected to participate in some travesty called
|
||
a "Dating Game." Well, the unfortunate thing about that is that, though blind-
|
||
folded, I recognized the voices (and/or clothing/physical accessories) of all
|
||
the "bachelorettes", and most of them were either complete warthogs or raging
|
||
morons. I got a free T-shirt, though.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The next attraction of notice was a performance artist named Gorby, who
|
||
did a bizarre act involving a length of rope, a Sprite can, and a story about
|
||
his ex-girlfriend of seven years. What he did, in effect, was slowly strangle
|
||
himself with the rope while talking about her obsession with control. When
|
||
the story hit a lull, he kicked the can into the audience where it spewed
|
||
warm Sprite in all directions. It was beautiful.
|
||
|
||
Next that I remember, Uncle Shappy did a performance (piece with Sean
|
||
on flutophone) detailing the harrowing, angsty tale of a nightmarish break-
|
||
fast of Captain Crunch with John Tesh. One would have to see it to truly
|
||
understand it. Afterwards, random attractions came onstage, including a
|
||
staggeringly brilliant urban slam poetry/rap combo from N.Y.C called the
|
||
Boom Poetic, whose sole source of rhythm (or "Boom", if you prefer) was the
|
||
man named Razelle, who could make noises with his mouth that no drum machine
|
||
weighing down the face of the planet could ever duplicate.
|
||
|
||
Finally, it came down to the reason that I was there. The poetry slam.
|
||
Prize: 100$. Result: Getting completely shafted. First of all, there were
|
||
only two rounds - one of which had apparently happened while I was with Jubb
|
||
in the Mindfield or avoiding Nick Cave's horrible mushy renditions of his
|
||
mediocre volume of album material. Secondly, they would only pick the absolute
|
||
top score of both rounds, and pit the winners of each against one another.
|
||
This is not a sound plan with sixteen competitors. I obviously didn't win.
|
||
After they closed down the tent, I stashed my belongings with some Anti-
|
||
Woodstock independent publishers, watched some more Boredoms on the second
|
||
stage, and then shipped off to beat on people during the Beastie Boys. It was
|
||
endless fun.
|
||
|
||
During the next break, I found Jubb and hung out with him and Gorby to
|
||
help him sell what Gorby termed "tacky shit." "Come get your tacky shit here!"
|
||
"Real USDA approved tacky shit!" That type of thing. Come to think of it,
|
||
Gorby looked almost exactly like Jeff Fahey in The Lawnmower Man. Bizarre.
|
||
Then: Smashing Pumpkins.
|
||
|
||
The Pumpkins were a wee bit disappointing for a few reasons: playing far
|
||
too many Siamese Dreams songs far too fast, and far too much apologizing for
|
||
"sucking." I have to say that "I am one" and "Rhinocerous" were almost redemp-
|
||
tion. Almost. But I still had a damn good time with some guys who I kept run-
|
||
ning into there, who always seemed to have pit following on their heels.
|
||
|
||
Next time, Part Two: The Ride Home.

5. Introduction / LOCNet Application
|
||
|
||
How did LOCnet begin?
|
||
|
||
Nearly 2 years ago, RS-232 and I spoke on the phone plotting
|
||
our plans to take over the universe as a whole. When we decided
|
||
that wouldn't work, we turned to the idea of starting a small
|
||
network to solve some of the activity problems on his board.
|
||
|
||
Neither of us had the slightest clue as to HOW to start a
|
||
network up. I decided it would be best to ask the resident expert
|
||
on WWIV and the net related issues involved. His name was Sarik
|
||
Malthus.
|
||
|
||
Early that afternoon, I logged onto the Imperium, Sarik
|
||
Malthus's abode. After fruitlessly attempting to chat with the
|
||
Dark Lord, I decided to leave Feedback. Contained within were
|
||
words that were much like the following.
|
||
|
||
Hi Alex. Could you tell me how I could set up a
|
||
net?
|
||
|
||
I waited. A few hours later, I called back and met a most
|
||
frustrating reply.
|
||
|
||
Read the DOCs.
|
||
|
||
Read the DOCs? I waited all this time for "Read the DOCs"?
|
||
So, being the stubborn person I am, I replied :
|
||
|
||
Fine. Thanks.
|
||
|
||
I then logged off. Alot of good THAT did. Little did I know
|
||
that those words were some of the wisest words ever written to me
|
||
in the BBS world.
|
||
|
||
By now, it was late. I decided to print out the WWIVnet
|
||
documentation and read it. Hell, why not? It didn't seem like
|
||
anyone was actually going to come right out and tell me what I
|
||
needed to know. So I read. I screwed around. I read some more.
|
||
I screwed around some more. Eventually, I got the LOCnet
|
||
information files to compile correctly. In the process, I learned
|
||
more about the net software than I thought possible. I slept.
|
||
|
||
The next day, RS-232 and I decided to attempt to get his
|
||
board hooked up. He was running VBBS. It was WWIVnet compatible,
|
||
it just needed a little tweaking. It was also horribly slow.
|
||
Eventually he figured out how to get it to work and LOCnet was
|
||
born. 2 nodes, both at 2400 baud.
|
||
|
||
LOCnet has since grown a bit. It's gained and lost boards
|
||
here and there. There are currently 9 boards that span a decent
|
||
sized portion of Rhode Island.
|
||
|
||
Following this rather dull article is a short network
|
||
application for LOCnet. You can E-Mail it to any of the addresses
|
||
listed at the bottom of the application.
|
||
|
||
If you're interrested in joining LOCnet and you run (or plan to run) a WWIVnet
|
||
compatible BBS, fill out the follofing application and E-Mail it to one of the
|
||
sites listed in the end of the application.

6. Boxing Tone Reference Guide
|
||
|
||
|
||
Red Box, Blue Box, Green Box, Blotto Box... Half of them have
|
||
turned into telecom novelty items. This is a simple list of the
|
||
frequencies needed for a few of the more popular boxes that are still
|
||
workable in areas of the country today. A lot of people out there
|
||
are not technically inclined enough to make an actual red box out
|
||
of a Radio Shack dialer or convert a white box to a blue box, yet
|
||
they have the talent to write a program to generate the same tones.
|
||
|
||
These tones can be recorded and used just as a normal box would
|
||
be used. However, the actual application of this information is
|
||
illegal, and we wouldn't want anyone breaking the law.
|
||
|
||
The timing durations used on these tones are as follows. One
|
||
second is represented as a duration of 18.2. The durations are fractions
|
||
of this 18.2 cycle second.
|
||
|
||
Red Box:
|
||
|
||
Nickel: 1700Mhz + 2200Mhz

|
||
|
||
Well, that's all I have for you now. Maybe i'll do my own
|
||
dictionary of what all the box types are. (The worthwhile ones that
|
||
actually worked at some point in history). Stay tuned.
