Section [1]: Local Lamer Update
|
||
By: Mercenary
|
||
|
||
As promised in Phantasy Issue 16, here is a partial transcription of a tape
|
||
supplied to the IIRG by an anonymous donor thru an IIRG member.
|
||
Now I've reviewed the entire tape, and this is the only area of it that I
|
||
find relevant to the story or truly interesting.
|
||
The mentality of the person recorded on this tape, (Player #3) leaves
|
||
something to be desired.
|
||
Now (Player #1) has sent me e-mail which I provided to you in Phantasy 16.
|
||
By the contents of this tape he seems to be innocent, and I would hold blame
|
||
against (Player #3) in this sordid little tale of jealousy and back-stabbing.
|
||
The hacking world should be based upon the ideal of free information and the
|
||
free exchange of ideas for all.
|
||
If any sysop has this user on their system and you can identify Him, I
|
||
would urge you to delete his account as this individual does not deserve
|
||
any form of access and could not be trusted in the hacking community.
|
||
The IIRG takes care to protect everyones Identity, so we've only used the
|
||
culprits first name. I know this may seem like more than he deserves, but
|
||
alas how can one preach ethics If he doesn't practice them.
|
||
If the individual who was responsible for this incident reads this, I would
|
||
urge you to reconsider your values, take some time to grow up, and most
|
||
importantly of all - Sell Your Computer - We don't need your kind in
|
||
cyberspace.
|
||
I know our judgement may seem harsh to some, but we'll let you decide
|
||
for yourselves after reading this little play constructed for your
|
||
enjoyment by the human values of jealousy,envy, and mental unstability.
|
||
|
||
PS: Many thanks to the individuals who sent this our way, it caused
|
||
much merriment and hysterics at several IIRG meetings.

A TALE OF JEALOUSY IN (203)
|
||
(Transcribed from a Recording of a Phone Converstion among the Players)
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
The Players:
|
||
1. Lou
|
||
2. Rocky
|
||
3. Jason
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3: I didn't Fuckin do that
|
||
|
||
1: The only thing...
|
||
|
||
3: How the fuck would I know everbodys handle on the pirate....
|
||
|
||
1: The only thing that I....
|
||
|
||
2: Alot of people don't know who...
|
||
|
||
1: Jason,Jason I will swear to God right now, the only thing that I posted
|
||
that was accusatory to you was what you had Ok'd on the phone that didnt...
|
||
|
||
3: What do you mean that I'd Ok'd...
|
||
|
||
1: Listen the thing that I'd typed up...
|
||
|
||
2: You had said it was Ok
|
||
|
||
1: Listen, the thing that I'd typed up that night when we were on the phone
|
||
and when you were talking about it, that thing, after I read the whole
|
||
thing to you you said oh-hoh, you didn't say you didn't want it posted,
|
||
You didn't give any negative feelings towards it whatsoever.
|
||
So I posted it, it had nothing to do with trying to get you in trouble,
|
||
it was merely, it was like a newspaper article, it had, it wasn't look
|
||
"Oh everbody go kill Jason because he did this."
|
||
|
||
3: The next day fuckin Stargazer called me up with Eddie, thinking....
|
||
|
||
1: Well now the whole things blown out of proportion. Because what started out
|
||
as an informing article has become..
|
||
|
||
2: Something else. something that has nothing to do with Lou, Lou's now
|
||
fucked entirely.
|
||
|
||
1: Well the thing is here, since um..., Rob and AJ were on the phone at the
|
||
time that you were talking about this along with me. They have a,...
|
||
They've talked to sysops and they've gotten sysops to listen and they're as
|
||
you know they're very credible in the modem world and they got sysops to
|
||
listen. And sysops now believe, for the most part anyway.
|
||
But the, the damage isn't completely undone.
|
||
But most sysops now believe, based on what AJ and Rob tell them, and from
|
||
their accounts of listening, that I am innocent in every respect to this
|
||
and that I had nothing to do with it other than taking it down and posting
|
||
it.
|
||
|
||
2: You didn't do anything...
|
||
|
||
1. I only posted..
|
||
|
||
2: Other than talking to them on the phone and that was stupid
|
||
|
||
1: Right
|
||
|
||
1: I only posted what you had said was Ok, the night that I had wrote it.
|
||
|
||
3: I never said that was Ok,I thought it was funny,but I never said it was Ok.
|
||
|
||
1: Well if you thought that, you should have said, well thats great Lou, don't
|
||
upload it anywhere or don't post it...You Know??
|
||
But I mean...
|
||
|
||
2: You have a mouth, you use it alot. If you really objected you would have
|
||
said something. Your a Bullshitter.
|
||
|
||
1: And if you were afraid of being caught, then you would have told me..
|
||
"Oh, No-No, Don't,Don't Don't..." You Know??
|
||
So that just...
|
||
|
||
2: Hey smartmouth, you always hear what you think. If that was true, you would
|
||
have said something.
|
||
|
||
1: Exactly, now listen, I'm doing the best, I'm doing the best to get my name
|
||
cleared up. In this case I think the best thing to do is just tell, if
|
||
you wanna get un-blacklisted if you think you are, or if you just want to
|
||
get back in the good graces of local sysops. The best thing to do is just
|
||
tell them exactly what you told me, exactly what you said to the S.P.A.
|
||
Sure...
|
||
|
||
2: Tell them you did it as a joke, maybe that will help.
|
||
|
||
3: Thats because I didn't give them anybodys name.
|
||
|
||
1: Well...
|
||
|
||
2: I thought you gave them like everybodys.
|
||
|
||
1: Well, Listen if you post that, if you post that, then ah.., then things
|
||
will be Ok. I mean I know. I'm gonna tell you right now, thats not the
|
||
whole truth.
|
||
|
||
2: Yeah, because Jason, you have'nt said anything lately.
|
||
|
||
1: Because I heard, I.....
|
||
|
||
3: Well thats because, I have'nt been able to get on the fuckin boards, every
|
||
local board. Deathstar hasn't answered for me, its been busy the last half
|
||
hour. I've been lettin it ring.
|
||
|
||
1: I,I,I, will stake my ah.., I will,I will,I will risk my life right now, I
|
||
will swear on my life that you,that you gave Vinnies board number to the
|
||
SPA, Because I heard you do it. I was on the phone when you did it and you
|
||
can't deny it, because you did do it.
|
||
Now if you post that to sysops because that is the truth, if you post that.
|
||
First of all the SPA never got back to you did they??
|
||
|
||
3: NO
|
||
|
||
1: So if you post that to sysops, look I gave the the number but the SPA
|
||
never called me back anyways, so it doesn't matter. Because if they were
|
||
going to take any action they would have called me back.
|
||
They probably thought it was a little prank. From what I understand, some
|
||
users heard about it and then they called up the SPA and said that you were
|
||
their little brother playing a joke. Ok so that....
|
||
|
||
3: Which users??
|
||
|
||
1. That probably prompted the SPA to say, "Oh this is bullshit, will just
|
||
ignore it and throw the number out. That is what probably happened, because
|
||
thats what I heard some kids did.
|
||
Now....
|
||
|
||
3: Like who??
|
||
|
||
1: They Saved your ass by doing that, because if they hadn't done that.
|
||
The SPA wold have taken your call "Seriously" and would have taken some
|
||
action and we would all be screwed.
|
||
|
||
2: Especially you.
|
||
|
||
1: Now listen...
|
||
|
||
3: Why me??
|
||
|
||
1: Because your the one that did it. Now listen....
|
||
|
||
3: SO
|
||
|
||
1: If you post...
|
||
|
||
3: I didn't do it...
|
||
|
||
1: Oh My God!! Just don't deny it Jason
|
||
|
||
2: Jason
|
||
|
||
1: If you, If you deny it, then things will just get completely worse.
|
||
|
||
2: Jason, I think you can say it to us, we know...
|
||
Jason, I was on the phone....
|
||
|
||
3: Im glad, I hope it gets worse.
|
||
|
||
2: Jason, I was on the phone, AJ was on the phone,Lou was on the phone.
|
||
You can say it in front of us. Were not gonna go "OOOooo Guess what
|
||
happened". Like I dont give a shit.
|
||
|
||
1: We all thought of it as a joke.
|
||
|
||
2: The only thing Im worried about is my Board stays up.
|
||
|
||
3: Now I don't

Section [2]: SIN CITY BBS: Valgamon's Story
|
||
Written and typed by Valgamon on May 9, 1993
|
||
|
||
Now I have tried to clear my mind before I wrote this...
|
||
to ward off all outside influences. Because I want the public
|
||
to know the TRUTH about the demise of the Sin City BBS, so
|
||
they can do away with all the HYPE and DIS-INFORMATION.
|
||
The basic story is, I was a user on this BBS. I had an
|
||
agreement with the SysOp (The Plague) that I would supply him
|
||
with "0-day 'zines," (electronic magazines given to the
|
||
Plague on the same day that they were published) in exchange
|
||
for unlimited download access. Now, granted, some of you out
|
||
there are scratching your heads and wondering, "How could the
|
||
Plague be so dumb? That deal's not fair!" Well here's why...
|
||
The Phantom, SysOp of the Legion of Doom BBS (also in
|
||
Waterbury), was also after my 'zines. He wanted to get them
|
||
before the Plague. (Apparently the two boards were in heated
|
||
competition). But Phantom made no offers to me... he just
|
||
wanted them and that was it. So obviously I turned to the
|
||
Plague to see what his setup would be. He offered me the
|
||
aforementioned plan. But a crucial factor of this plan (which
|
||
I adhered to even up to the HOUR of Sin's expiration) was
|
||
that I make my 'zine supply EXCLUSIVE to The Plague. This
|
||
prospect infuriated the Phantom, who immediately lowered my
|
||
access on his BBS. But I didn't care, I had no ratios on Sin!
|
||
Things went well for a few weeks. Under the handle
|
||
"Dolph Lundgren," (yes the guy from Universal Soldier and
|
||
Masters of the Universe and Rocky 4, etc), I kept a steady
|
||
stream of 0-day 'zines coming in to the City, and I flexed my
|
||
downloading muscles as well. But I NEVER leeched beyond what
|
||
I felt was a reasonable amount, based on what I sent up. I
|
||
did what I would have wanted the Plague to do for me if the
|
||
situation was the other way around (do unto others, bla bla).
|
||
So things are going great. I get the files I want and he
|
||
gets the 'zines he wants. NO PROBLEM. If left uninterrupted,
|
||
this setup would have probably continued to this day.
|
||
Unfortunately, this was not the case.
|
||
JASON L*****, a high school junior from Wallingford,
|
||
takes a major role in this case starting now. You all
|
||
probably shudder at the mention of his name, and
|
||
subconsciously start hiding boxes of floppies and preparing
|
||
to nuke your hard drives. I am not surprised. Even before
|
||
this whole incident, Jason had a track record of turning in
|
||
boards (Thunderstorm/Vampire Connection 2, Firezone, Brigade,
|
||
etc) and the sysops of those boards will confirm this. Before
|
||
he ever came into the picture, Jason was ALREADY a HATED SPA
|
||
informant. Audio tapes of tapped phone conversations (in
|
||
which he boasted about busting boards and uploading viruses)
|
||
were made into Soundblaster .VOC files and played on speakers
|
||
across the state. In fact I personally called up some Sysop
|
||
friends of mine and made sure that they heard these tapes.
|
||
There was no doubt as to whether or not it was Jason doing
|
||
the talking; they had all spoken to him before (some had even
|
||
been prank-called and threatened by him). So let's just
|
||
establish that Jason's credibility was already PROVEN to be
|
||
LOW, if not NONEXISTENT, before this whole thing started.
|
||
Now, what he did in relation to Sin...
|
||
Jason and I were acquainted before this incident. I
|
||
hesitate to say that we were friends, but we did talk
|
||
occasionally. I had very little respect for this bastard of
|
||
an SPA informant, who worked in conjunction with them to
|
||
further his own personal goals and desires. (Something which
|
||
even the SPA condemns). He did it for the MONEY, not out of
|
||
some great desire to help software publishers. He was NOT a
|
||
do-gooder, he merely wanted to get CASH REWARDS, cause
|
||
anarchy and chaos and ruin peoples' lives. Jason THRIVED on
|
||
HATE and MISERY, a fact which several of my Sysop and user
|
||
friends will confirm. He loved to see people squirm. But he
|
||
was very crude and barbaric about making them do so. For
|
||
instance, he would call up people at 2 in the morning and
|
||
have his soundblaster shout swears at them. He got even more
|
||
joy out of doing this if the people were senior citizens! He
|
||
preyed on the weak for sheer enjoyment. He even mentioned to
|
||
me one time that when his basketball team was losing, he felt
|
||
a "deep inner warmth" because his teammates felt bad. THIS IS
|
||
JUST A SAMPLE TO SHOW YOU WHAT KIND OF A PERSON JASON IS. He
|
||
is the kind of kid who kicks you when you're down, whether
|
||
you're friend or foe. And incidentally, and OBVIOUSLY,
|
||
friends are one thing Jason L. had no great surplus of.
|
||
Now, in one of our few conversations, Jason mentioned
|
||
to me how he was surprised that I was getting all these great
|
||
new files. Frankly, he was amazed, and a little bit jealous.
|
||
He wanted them too, but didn't have the access to get them.
|
||
So he asked where I got them. I refused to tell and changed
|
||
the subject. But Jason didn't stop there. He PAID a user
|
||
(who I won't mention here to protect his identity) ten
|
||
dollars to get one of the files that I got from Sin and had
|
||
uploaded somewhere else. He then looked at the info file
|
||
contained within that archive and found the Sin City ad. But
|
||
the phone number was [wisely] written over with X's. So that
|
||
put a stop to Jason's greed... or so I thought.
|
||
Soon after, a new version of the Connecticut BBS list
|
||
(at the time written by Kevin B***** who I'm sure you've all
|
||
heard of thanks to the SeCT news file) was released. Now,
|
||
just a quick side-note on Kevin... the SeCT file (which I'll
|
||
explain more about later) incriminates him as having been the
|
||
MASTERMIND behind the busting of Sin City. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
|
||
SeCT is mistaken. Kevin merely included Sin's number on his
|
||
BBS list. He had NO CLUE what kind of a BBS it was, he didn't
|
||
even call it. He had just received word (from who I don't
|
||
know) that Sin existed, and since it WAS a BBS and it WAS in
|
||
Connecticut, why not put it on the CT BBS list? THAT IS ALL
|
||
KEVIN IS GUILTY OF, spreading information innocently
|
||
with no malicious intent.
|
||
Anyway, this version of the list came out with Sin's
|
||
number on it, and of course, (you're way ahead of me) Jason
|
||
got a copy of it. Now Sin is LD to Jason, but he didn't
|
||
care. He immediately dialed it up and applied for access,
|
||
with FALSE personal information. He portrayed himself as a
|
||
blue-collar worker in his thirties who had recently been laid
|
||
off from Pratt & Whitney. He claimed to have a lot of
|
||
references which were completely BOGUS. He CONNED the Plague,
|
||
or at least made an attempt to. Well the Plague must have
|
||
seen right through Jason (who gave a fake phone # too)...
|
||
because he put him in the GENERAL NEW USER VOTING section,
|
||
which was essentially a death sentence for NEW USER LAMERS.
|
||
Their personal information would be seen by already-validated
|
||
users, and when it was found out that they had NO legit
|
||
references and not much to offer, they'd be voted down and
|
||
eventually DELETED. That is what SHOULD have happened to
|
||
Jason's fake account. But it never got the chance. Here's
|
||
why... Upon discovering that he was being voted down (new
|
||
users being voted on can call and check their status), he
|
||
went into a fit of rage. Everything he'd worked for was going
|
||
down the tubes. His jealously of me and his sheer hatred and
|
||
desire overwhelmed him. Once again, HE CALLED THE SPA.
|
||
Now this may or may not be true, because Jason had been
|
||
known to use this as a scare tactic on sysops who won't grant
|
||
him access. He even TOLD me that he did it. But that is
|
||
irrelevant. Because as soon as the Plague found out (through
|
||
a tip off by ME), he immediately jumped the gun and took
|
||
action. Now I even told him that Jason MAY BE lying about
|
||
calling them, but he didn't care. He started deleting all his
|
||
stuff systematically. He nuked his tape backups, his 1.7+
|
||
gigs, EVERYTHING. His justification for doing this (which I
|
||
found to be completely reasonable PROVIDED there was proof
|
||
that Jason actually called) was that he had a hell of a lot
|
||
to lose if he DID wind up getting busted. A family, a career,
|
||
a house, kids, and possibly facing stiff fines and jailtime.
|
||
He didn't want that, and I wouldn't have either if I were in
|
||
his position. But amid all the chaos of the situation, the
|
||
Plague's rationality and logical behavior escaped him. He
|
||
literally went nuts for a time. And in this bewildered state
|
||
of paranoia, he went looking for people to blame. And he
|
||
found ME. He claimed that since I knew about Jason having
|
||
called, that I was an accomplice and had helped the vile
|
||
informant. Now as you know I found out from Jason TELLING me
|
||
by his own free will, and I was so disgusted that after he
|
||
told me I just hung up and ripped the cord out of the wall. I
|
||
had a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, how could anybody be
|
||
such a JERK and not have a guilty conscience?! But anyway,
|
||
back to the story... the Plague turned against me, even
|
||
though throughout this whole thing I had been trying to help
|
||
him. He threatened to make my life miserable for months to
|
||
come. (Which he has partially succeeded in doing if it gives
|
||
him any comfort). He threatened me with violence, harassment,
|
||
and more. He had, in his state of shock, convinced himself
|
||
that I was plotting against him with Jason. I even offered
|
||
to give him Jason's phone number and address, to see if that
|
||
would calm him down and get him to think straight... but he
|
||
didn't want to hear it. As far as he was concerned it was
|
||
written in stone. I WAS GUILTY. And this is what he professed
|
||
to all his friends and associates (which led to the creation
|
||
of the SeCT SPA news file which you'll hear about VERY
|
||
shortly if you haven't already). So essentially, Sin City was
|
||
dead, and I was to blame as well as the truly guilty one.
|
||
Well now I was ticked. I no longer could get the files I
|
||
wanted, and on top of that, I had been framed! Now all I
|
||
needed was some icing on the cake of death. That came in the
|
||
form of a text file that I got from Misty Mountain...
|
||
|
||
SECT-SPA.ZIP -- DESCRIPTION: News about SPA action in CT
|
||
Local users incriminated!
|
||
|
||
As soon as I saw that I freaked. I didn't think the plague
|
||
would actually go out and TELL people that it was ME! It was
|
||
basically a file that painted Kevin Brook as having been
|
||
behind the whole thing, with me and Jason helping as his
|
||
lackeys. It also encouraged Sysops to delete the three of us
|
||
from their BBS's. It was awful... and what's even worse,
|
||
there was nothing to contest it. It was my word against
|
||
theirs. And I had NO evidence... (or did I)?
|
||
Now as far as the creation of the file goes, I have
|
||
heard 2 stories. 1) There really IS a group out there called
|
||
SeCT who goes around broadcasting warnings of FED BUSTS to
|
||
all those involved (and to those who aren't) and 2) the user
|
||
ALABASTER and a friend of his FABRICATED the file (which I
|
||
wouldn't doubt because Alabaster already held a grudge
|
||
against me and the file only showed up on ONE BBS, the one he
|
||
had sent it to). Now whichever story is true, it doesn't
|
||
matter. If story 1 is true, then I congratulate SeCT for
|
||
being the lookout for FED activity. Just get your stories
|
||
straight in the future. And if story 2 is true, then I feel
|
||
sorry for that balding fortysomething Alabastard, if he has
|
||
that much free time to take his revenge out on a 15-year-old
|
||
kid then he is really PATHETIC.
|
||
Let's review the situation. Here's what Joe Sysop knows:
|
||
|
||
1) Sin city has been BUSTED by the FEDS.
|
||
2) Valgamon helped the guy who did it.
|
||
3) Joe Sysop has been advised to delete Valgamon on his BBS
|
||
NOW HOW DO I GO ABOUT CHANGING THAT?! 1 and 2 are NOT
|
||
TRUE... as far as I know (i read the papers and watch the
|
||
news) NO BULLETIN BOARDS IN WATERBURY (or in any other CT
|
||
city for that matter) HAVE EVEN BEEN INVESTIGATED, LET ALONE
|
||
BUSTED! No action was taken! Which means that Jason never
|
||
made that call, and I was right. And I know that 2 is false,
|
||
but how can i prove it? Like I said before, I have no
|
||
evidence to support my story! Ahhh... but I do!!
|
||
|
||
|
||
Remember those TAPES I mentioned earlier? The ones on which Jason BRAGGED
|
||
about busting boards and infecting sysops with viruses? Well I had THOSE.. plus
|
||
a few NEW ones I had made (particularly of Jason lying to me that he made the
|
||
call to the SPA). So upon remembering that I was in possession of those I
|
||
immediately called up the plague. BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT! He was
|
||
oblivious to the truth.
|
||
|
||
What NOW?!
|
||
One of the 'zines I had been giving the Plague was PHANTASY Magazine,
|
||
published by the IIRG in Bristol. I decided I would use PHANTASY as a medium
|
||
for proving my innocence, since it seemed to have a very large reader base
|
||
(and since CuD probably wouldn't care). So I gave the tapes to a very good
|
||
friend of mine who has connections with the IIRG. Well they got ahold of the
|
||
tapes and listened to them. MY SALVATION CAME when (Volume 4 Issue 16)
|
||
of Phantasy was released on April 15... IT STATED THAT JASON WAS THE
|
||
ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEMISE OF SIN CITY... and that the IIRG
|
||
was going to TRANSCRIBE the tapes in the next issue! I was overjoyed!
|
||
But would people believe it? Of course! The IIRG is no small-time group..
|
||
they have been around since '82 and are VERY credible people. Their leaders,
|
||
Anubis (Sysop of Dark Shadows) and Mercenary (Sysop of The RuneStone) have LOTS
|
||
of friends in the modem world and are VERY respected. So I had been saved!
|
||
My name had finally been cleared!
|
||
I am going to pause at this point to personally thank Anubis,Mercenary and the
|
||
IIRG for helping me out in my time of need. Without you and PHANTASY I would
|
||
still be guilty in the eyes of the modem world. Thank you for proving me
|
||
innocent.
|
||
So this file draws to a close... I am eagerly anticipating the release of
|
||
PHANTASY issue 17. I can't wait to read the transcriptions... they will serve
|
||
as further evidence that I had nothing to do with Sin City supposedly getting
|
||
turned in. I hope the plague will see that I am not guilty and that Jason
|
||
probably never even made the call. Not that that makes him any less guilty,
|
||
I mean, he still caused the Plague to delete over 6 years of work!
|
||
I learned an important lesson from this whole thing. The golden rule doesn't
|
||
always apply. I tried to be friends with Jason L., I tried to be nice to him...
|
||
and look what happened! I tried to help the Plague, I let him know that he
|
||
should take precautionary measures (NOT delete all his stuff) and look what he
|
||
did to me! He blabbed to everyone and their Mother that VALGAMON IS GUILTY,
|
||
HE BUSTED MY BBS! So just keep in mind that "Do unto others as you would have
|
||
them do unto you" doesn't always hold true. I know we'd all like it to, but you
|
||
really can't trust anyone other than yourself in this day and age. It sickens
|
||
me that at 15 years old I should be discovering this but I guess that's just a
|
||
lesson to me about the way the world works. Society is really screwed up.
|
||
I apologize for the unprofessional style of this file. But I hope you all got
|
||
its message. I also made it a point not to swear. I thought that would make it
|
||
a bit easier to read this. And I want EVERYONE to read this, to hear the TRUTH!
|
||
SO SPREAD THIS FILE AROUND, UNCHANGED, TO EVERY BBS THAT YOU CALL! IT NEEDS TO
|
||
BE READ!
|
||
If you need to contact me, I can be reached on most New Haven and Waterbury
|
||
area bulletin boards. My Internet email address is YUNSANJ@YALEVM.YCC.YALE.EDU.
|
||
My Prodigy email address if RFTN56C. I am not going to bother with "greets,"
|
||
I feel that they would spoil the informative nature of this file. But I do want
|
||
To reiterate my utmost thanks and gratitude to the IIRG.. I am deeply in their
|
||
debt.
|
||
So this is the end. If you have any questions, contact me via one of the
|
||
above-mail addresses that you call. Thank you for taking the time to read this,
|
||
and good-bye.

Section [3]: Reply to Comments
|
||
By: The IIRG
|
||
|
||
Since re-opening our public node to the Rune Stone BBS, we've recieved quite
|
||
a few inquiries as to the nature of our groups purpose and direction.
|
||
The IIRG has basically been operating since around 1982, when Mercenary and
|
||
several others started the guild on the Commodore 64.
|
||
Mercenary is the only remaining Original member from the Commodore 64 guild.
|
||
All of the other current members were merged into the Guild when the guild
|
||
converted to the IBM platform during the mid 80's.
|
||
The guilds basic purpose is to provide what we consider the true concept
|
||
of hacking to be. The distribution of free information.
|
||
In a world full of cash-and-carry groups that charge for file distribution
|
||
or just to use thier name on your system, we think of ourselves as the
|
||
renegade of groups.
|
||
The IIRG does however screen out systems now. We never used to, but
|
||
conditions in the hacking community forced us to screen systems.
|
||
One of the reasons we've been forced to do this is individuals were
|
||
claiming affiliation with us or with Mercenary (SEE RUMOR MILL) and we
|
||
had no affiliation with them what-so-ever.
|
||
Our basic plan for the 90's and beyond is to increase our size, further
|
||
our file distribution network, and bring more individuals around to the
|
||
original concept of hacking, FREE INFORMATION FOR ALL!!!!

Section [4] : John C. Dvorak Hype
|
||
By: Saint Anarchy
|
||
|
||
I think the "Hype" about the Rusty-N-Edies's BBS bust is finally starting to
|
||
fizzle out. But lets look at a few things I find interesting in this whole
|
||
little farce.
|
||
In the May 11,1993 issue of PC Magazine we see some comments from a name
|
||
in the computing world we should all recognize, John C. Dvorak.
|
||
In his article John claims that "one intelligence-gathering service has found
|
||
over 2,000 BBS's specializing in pirated software, out of the 25,000 it
|
||
monitors".
|
||
Well I'm no mathematician, but to monitor 25,000 BBS's it would require you
|
||
to call 68.5 BBS's a day for one year.
|
||
Assuming that you applied for access on the first call, this would mean to
|
||
call 25,000 BBS's it would require you to call 137 BBS's per day for one
|
||
year.
|
||
I don't know about the rest of you out there, but this seems a little
|
||
far-fetched to me.
|
||
Have you ever tried logging onto a real quality pirate BBS??, some systems
|
||
I have had to speed-dial for hours before I finally get a connect.
|
||
I also find it amusing that Mr. Dvorak didn't site his source for this
|
||
information in his article! Why not inform the public of this terribly gross
|
||
infringement of Sysop's rights.
|
||
|
||
What secret agency monitors BBS's in some dark secluded Washington office??
|
||
|
||
What Secret conspiracy is some sysop dreaming of when trading the latest
|
||
copy of "Ultima 3 Million" to his users??
|
||
|
||
In my opinion, only an author who's looking for magazine sales
|
||
would make a statement like that. And lo and behold look who made it.
|
||
Only the mindless stooges who read PC Magazine would buy a line of total
|
||
disinformation like that.
|
||
I think a more extremely entertaining article could be done, if John could
|
||
actually substantiate his claims, I know I'd buy a copy if they could prove
|
||
it beyond the hype that it is!
|
||
And say for a minute, it was true. Whats the EFF Doing about it? Whats the
|
||
CPSR doing about it?, I've read all their press releases and have spotted
|
||
nothing. Could such a gross infraction of a sysops rights actually be
|
||
going on. I personally don't think so.

Section [5]: How to Waste a Perfectly Good Friday Nite!!
|
||
(Or attending the Danbury,Ct. 2600 Meeting)
|
||
By : Mercenary and Anubis
|
||
|
||
On May Seventh, Anubis and myself headed down to the Danbury mall to check
|
||
out the advertised meeting in 2600 Magazine. We were not expecting a large
|
||
crowd but we had visions of at least say 8-15 people possibly attending.
|
||
We'd prepared for the evening by getting the malls rent-a-cops frequency
|
||
and programming it into my scanner. On an earlier trip to the we noticed
|
||
that the payphones listed in 2600 were directly across from the malls
|
||
security office and we didn't want any situation like what happened at the
|
||
Pentagon Mall 2600 meeting.
|
||
After picking up Anubis, we headed out on the highway for the 45 minute
|
||
trek. We were already running slightly late because I had to work late,
|
||
and Anubis was dragging his feet like usual.
|
||
Now the ride was going well and we had some speed metal jamming on the
|
||
car stereo when all of a sudden around 1 curve the traffic came to a complete
|
||
stand still, Now I don't mind driving, but I absolutely hate waiting in lines.
|
||
So after wasting another 1/2 hour for the rubber-neckers to see some guy
|
||
over heated on the side of the road we finally arrived at the mall.
|
||
Now after checking the scanner on the way in and doing a quick visual scan
|
||
of the area, we approached the meeting site.
|
||
There was one person on the payphones, but somehow I didn't envision a 65
|
||
year old chain smoking gray-haired female hacker.
|
||
After waiting about 10 minutes I noticed 2 individuals approaching the
|
||
payphones, one was carrying a copy of 2600 magazine. Great we thought
|
||
here comes start of the crowd.
|
||
But after approaching them and identifying ourselves we learned that these
|
||
2 individuals were just attending for the first time also.
|
||
Needless to say we were the only individuals to show up at the mall
|
||
and the trip was a complete waste of time.
|
||
To the individuals who originally may have organized the Danbury meetings
|
||
we would ask why you didn't contact 2600 to inform them that you were no
|
||
longer having meetings.
|
||
And to 2600 magazine, why dont you confirm the meetings you list??
|
||
We even contacted your 700 Number to confirm the meeting.
|
||
PLEASE STOP LISTING DANBURY, or Contact the Individual responsible for
|
||
the meetings and ask him whats up..
|
||
Fed up and Disgusted....

Section [6] FOR THE PEOPLE

Supplied By: Those Wacky Secret Service Agents
|

Edited by: Mercenary
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
We've decided to change the format of For the People to bring you news from
|
||
your favorite buddies, and mine, The United States Secret Service.
|
||
Since the "Established Media" likes to keep the men in shades out of the
|
||
spotlight as much as possible, we'd like to turn ours on.
|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
THE WE CAN'T KEEP A SECRET SERVICE
|
||
|
||
Well it seems the ole' boys in shades are ticking off the Prez and his First
|
||
Lady. It seems that some of the Secret Service Agents are revealing some
|
||
personal Information that the Clinton's would like left personal.
|
||
As a matter of fact, it seems that an Official of the Treasury Department
|
||
has delivered an ultimatum: if the SS Agents can't keep their mouths shut
|
||
another Agency will be found to protect the Presidential Entourage.
|
||
Just what we need, more SS Agents to harass innocent Sysop's and
|
||
their Computing Users.
|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
WHO's THE WIERDOS IN SHADES??
|
||
|
||
It seems that some Secret Service Agents are complaining about service they
|
||
recieved in a Rural Southern "Denny"s" Restaraunt.
|
||
Particular the Black agents are claiming discrimination because the White
|
||
agents recieved faster and more polite service.
|
||
However, regular Black patrons of the Denny's in question say the have
|
||
always been treated well and with very good service.
|
||
Underground Rumor has it that a Computer Hacker was on the floor that day
|
||
and recognized the Boy's in Shades for who they were and gave all the
|
||
Agents very shitty service. Our hats off to the employee if its true and
|
||
our hats off to Denny's to providing the Boy's in Shades with what they
|
||
deserve. Remember Boy's, What goes around comes around.
|
||
And What was that Green Shit in your eggs????

Edited By: Mercenary

|
||
|
||
A Message From The Phantom :
|
||
|
||
The Following person has tried to use Mercenary/and the IIRG as a reference
|
||
in attempts to logon to respected private systems, in this case I will
|
||
describe the incident that happened on my system.
|
||
|
||
A user going by the alias of "NEW MANNING" , claiming to be from a group
|
||
called "MASSDES" told me that "Me" sent him to the bbs for access and
|
||
wanted to know if I wished to be a MASSDES site. I nonchalantly asked him
|
||
exactly what MASSDES was and he said it is a group of people that hack out
|
||
warez from Company Unix/Vax systems and release them. Strangely I have never
|
||
seen a release by them and since I have even seen 95% of the one time release
|
||
groups, I know this guy was a lamer. I asked him what he could do about
|
||
Strike Commander,(this was on April-2nd, and hence it was not released yet)
|
||
and he said he has had it for a week and that it was already released by 'a
|
||
noname group that did a home-cracking job'. I let well enough be alone and I
|
||
asked him if he had anything interesting and he told me 'I am working on Dark
|
||
Sun II'. This was quite amusing since Dark Sun I (from SSI of course) is
|
||
being beta tested as we speak and plans for a sequel have not been implemented yet.
|
||
After asking him who "Me" was, he responded Mercenary' of the IIRG.
|
||
I asked him if Mercenary would vouch for him and he said sure.
|
||
I asked Mercenary myself and his response was to delete this person since he
|
||
has never heard of him.
|
||
I asked the guy where he was from and he said 'I can not say since
|
||
I am using a box', fine, but he said he was from area code (415) I believe
|
||
near Springfield, MA . (415) 234-8899 was the supplied number he gave
|
||
my PC Board so when I was bored I tried it for my interests and apparently
|
||
a secretary answered and said 'Law Offices', I promptly went <CLICK>.
|
||
This was probably just a bogus number, but just in case.
|
||
|
||
Other aliases he says that he may be recognized as: KAOS
|
||
|
||
I asked him what other (203) systems or anywhere in New England he
|
||
called and he said he could not reveal bbs names even. How odd...
|
||
|
||
This was a lamer report on NEW MANNING.

FREE BIRD CRASHES TO THE GROUND
|
||
|
||
This is a very long and sad story .
|
||
|
||
As Im writing this online .. Ill try to make it short .. although Free Bird
|
||
the Sysop of the excellent TDT BBS... deserves much praise and more time.
|
||
Some school kids, (maybe local College kids) were caught hacking into
|
||
their school computer. To cop a plea they turned in the Lite House BBS.
|
||
This is in FLorida, so the local pigs decided to make an example of
|
||
Free Bird. They Busted down his door and ARRESTED his Hardware, and took
|
||
Free Bird down to the Station, questionned and then released him.
|
||
He says he is facing 120 years in Jail and many THOUSANDS of dollars in
|
||
Fines.
|
||
The Pigs have already TAKEN his about 4-5 node, 4 Gig BBS, + Gig BACKUP
|
||
Tapes etc etc... and ALL info on his BBS is now in PIG Hands...
|
||
at least the FBI has NOT been called , they think ,, so far..
|
||
|
||
****IF YOU WERE A USER ON THAT BBS.. AND USE THE SAME HANDLES AND
|
||
PASSWORDS ON OTHER BBS'S... ***CHANGE THEM IMMEDIATLY !!!!!******
|
||
|
||
Note this fact... in CLintonian AMerica in the Free 1990's..
|
||
|
||
THE HAVE FROZEN FREE BIRDS CHECKING ACCOUNT .... !!!!
|
||
|
||
DO THEY DO THIS WITH **CONVICTED MURDERERSS??? I dont think so !!!
|
||
|
||
HE HAS NOT been TRIED OR CONVICTED .. and ALREADY .. FREE BIRD has LOST
|
||
his SYSTEM Sysops YOU Know how much a BBS like that costs??? What...$10,000
|
||
with all the computers, nodes, Cards, LAN, HW etc,etc,modems.
|
||
AND WITH HIS BANK ACCOUNT FROZEN He's got some explaining to do to his
|
||
WIFE and KIDS and PARENTS and FAMILY and maybe EMPLOYER !!!

Well that should cover you for a Crystal source, now some of you have been

asking about hooking 2 Crystals at once......

This is a very simple and crude representation but you should be able
|

to see the easy implementation of using both crystals.
|

We suggest yo download Sanctuarys Red Box File to get the full idea
|
||
of implementing these plans.

ALPHA AXP SYSTEMS AVAILABLE ON INTERNET
|
||
|
||
On Thursday April 29, 1993 -- As a service to the Internet
|
||
community, Digital Equipment Corporation has made two DEC 4000 AXP
|
||
systems available for evaluating the Alpha AXP architecture and
|
||
testing the functionality of the supporting operating systems,
|
||
compilers, tools, and utilities.
|
||
|
||
Application developers who have access to the Internet can use
|
||
these two systems to test, qualify, or port their software for the
|
||
Alpha AXP architecture. Other Internet users interested in Alpha
|
||
AXP computing are invited to log on and evaluate these systems.
|
||
|
||
In the first two days of availability, initial Internet
|
||
response resulted in well over 1000 accounts from about 500
|
||
organizations being set up on these Alpha AXP systems.
|
||
|
||
One DEC 4000 AXP system (Internet address: axposf.pa.dec.com)
|
||
is running the DEC OSF/1 for AXP V1.2 UNIX operating system. The
|
||
other AXP system (Internet address: axpvms.pa.dec.com) has the
|
||
OpenVMS AXP V1.5 operating system installed. These systems can be
|
||
reached either via telnet or rlogin.
|
||
|
||
To register for an account, Internet users connect to the
|
||
desired machine, log in as axpguest (no password), and answer the
|
||
short qualifying questionnaire. Users are asked to read all
|
||
information in the motd/login banner and comply with all rules for
|
||
machine usage/restrictions. Customers with questions about their
|
||
accounts should send mail to Internet address:
|
||
axposf-root@dec.pa.com for the DEC OSF/1 for AXP system and to
|
||
Internet address: axpvms-system@pa.dec.com for the OpenVMS AXP
|
||
system.
|
||
|
||
The Internet system -- linking more than 1.7 million host
|
||
computers on 11,000 networks in 50 countries -- has more than 5
|
||
million users. The system is tied into most public and private
|
||
electronic messaging services, expanding the user population able to
|
||
exchange electronic mail to about 15 million people. The system is
|
||
doubling annually in users, networks, hosts, and traffic.

TAIWAN QUICK TO REACT
|
||
|
||
The government of Taiwan (under pressure from the U.S.) passed the final two
|
||
bills providing copyright protection for the United States.
|
||
This was done to avoid possible trade sanctions under the special 301 Section
|
||
of the Omnibus Trade Act.
|
||
The U.S. had given Taiwan until April 30th to pass the bills, which have been
|
||
a matter of friction between the U.S. and Taiwan.
|
||
As of third week of April, the U.S. had not removed Taiwan from its list of
|
||
countries that sanctions may be imposed against.
|
||
If Taiwan is not taken off the "301 List", there will be a 100% tariff on all
|
||
Taiwanese computer and peripheral equipment.

VLSI BEHIND CLIPPER CHIP
|
||
|
||
VLSI Technology Inc has added a new manufacturing process and a library of
|
||
electronic building blocks that will provide data-encryption capability.
|
||
The new manufacturing process and design support has been developed by VLSI
|
||
to build the "Clipper" chip for Mykotronx in Torrance California.
|
||
The "Clipper" chip will be used by Mykotronx for secure communications
|
||
equipment applications.
|
||
Any data that is designed-in through VLSI's proprietary FSB library and tools
|
||
will offer protection from visual and electrical probing techniques.
|
||
VLSI sees their process being used in telephones,video games, and cable tv
|
||
with a possible market share of 100 million by 1996.

COPS SEIZE HOME COMPUTER IN RUDE SIGN CASE
|
||
|
||
Connecticut State Police from the Westport,Ct. barracks raided a house in
|
||
Stratford,Ct at 64 Bowe Avenue on Tuesday April thirteenth.
|
||
The police armed with a search and seizure warrant confiscated a computer
|
||
belonging to one Keith Blodgett.
|
||
It seems Keith was responsible for those darling messages on Interstate-95
|
||
that we reported to you in Phantasy Issue 16.
|
||
Apparently Keith hacked into the Connecticut State Department of
|
||
Transportations computer and re-programmed the electronic sign on I-95 to
|
||
display "Weiker Blows,You all have a Nice Day" and "You All Suck" on
|
||
different occasions.
|
||
We admire Keith's political views, but he shold have known better than to
|
||
keep hacking into the system after all the publicity.

IM SORRY SIR, WE CAN'T LAND, BILL'S HAIR IS A MESS
|
||
|
||
On May 20th,1993 the ultimate in stupidity occured at the L.A. International
|
||
Airport. Several flights were denied clearance to land because Slick Willie
|
||
was having his hair done in Air Force One on the tarmac.
|
||
Beverly Hills hairdresser Cristophe spent about an hour primping and poofing
|
||
Bill's thinning locks. Meanwhile wayward travelers were kept in limbo circling
|
||
the airport.
|
||
HEY BILL, You don't look any Better and you just lost a shitload of
|
||
re-election votes. I hope your hair was worth it.

ATM SCAM - A TEXT BOOK OPERATION
|
||
|
||
As many of you may have heard, a succesful ATM scam was pulled off at the
|
||
Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester,Ct.
|
||
Of course the media had an Over-Hype field day claiming this was a first
|
||
in ATM history.. Give us a break I've seen this scam portrayed on tv shows
|
||
its so old.
|
||
At last check the crooks have made away with $60,000 dollars plus and
|
||
despite Secret Service claims of an arrest within 48 hours on May 17th,
|
||
none have been made as of a week later.
|
||
Basically the scam was this, the thieves placed an ATM inside the courtyard
|
||
of the mall with enough seed money to entice shoppers into complacency.
|
||
After sabotaging 1 of the malls 2 legitimate machines the thieves racked
|
||
up hundreds of card information and PINS after shoppers used the bogus
|
||
machine.
|
||
With this information they've been running around the country with
|
||
forged copies of the cards and withdrwaing cash.
|
||
We'll bring you a complete story in Phantasy Issue #18.
