DnA 2-2: Stuff (Monthly Update)
Written by Pazuzu for DnA
May 11, 1993
Well, Pholx, we're back with Volume I, Issue 2. This issue will build on stuff from the last issue, and also introduce new concepts. Our initial releases are aimed at the beginner, since there's no one else - the experts are already experts, so what's the point... We want to educate newcomers and encourage them to get active in the Underground.
In this issue, we are introducing a new group who will be releasing some articles through DnA Magazine. They figured that with our already far-reaching distribution, they could reach more people faster than by trying to build their own distribution. They're called The Sixth Column, and they gather and distribute information on SERIOUS abuses by Government agencies, such as the IRS, the NSA, and the CIA. These abuses include: the whole income tax system (it's BOGUS!), spying on every aspect of our lives, and more Big Brotherian horrors. Read their articles - they could save you money, privacy, and maybe even your life!
We are also publishing articles written by several non-members. Anyone else wishing to have an article published through DnA can submit the article on DnA Systems or Digital Decay, the numbers are listed at the end of this article.
The Scam-Of-The-Month Club
This month's scam is quite illegal and will no doubt get you thrown directly in prison if you get caught, so please try to avoid getting caught. A few things are required for this:
- [a] A Female Willing To Assist - This may sound strange, but you would be very surprised at how many females are into scams. In fact, a female invented this scam. Everyone knows that females are sweet & innocent and would never commit fraud... ahhahahhahahahahahaaa
- [b] A Credit Card Number - Of course...
- [c] A Western Union Office In A Bad Part Of Town - Self-explanatory
Anyway, law enforcement likes to call this scam "grand theft" ... It's one of the few ways you can get cash from a stolen credit card number. What you do is this: You have the girl go down to the Western Union office in a bad area of town, where there's a lot of people out on the streets. You have her pick out a likely guy and give a bogus sob story...
"My boyfriend is an asshole who beats me, and he threw me out of his house. My Dad wants to wire me money for a plane ticket to go home, but my ID is in my boyfriend's house, and I can't go back there. I was wondering if my dad could wire the money to you, and then you could give me the money... We'll pay you if we have to..."
You should be nearby listening to all this. The person will give one of 3 responses:
- [a] "God, what an asshole your boyfriend must be! Sure, I'll help you. You don't have to pay. I'm glad to help out someone in trouble" - THIS is the response you want.
- [b] "Ok, sure, I'll do it for $25..." - This is OK, take it.
- [c] "Sure, but I'm not interested in money, if ya know what I mean..." - Shoot the guy and bail.
Anyways, you then have her call her "dad", who is actually ANOTHER friend who's in on the scam, and tell him to wire the money to Mr. Bum (whatever his name is)... The fool then goes in, gets the money, and you're all set. This scam has the benefit of being bullet-proof, since you and your female companion are outside watching the whole time... If any bust goes down, he'll be the one getting busted. Of course, he'll tell the cops about the girl and all, but if you've a brain in your head, you and the girl will be long gone, and the fool will be off to prison.
Notable Systems & Users
In a perfect world, this section would be a 12 megabyte text file in and of itself. But the world sucks, so we'll have to live with this.
- The Outside Plant - 313 - This is a pretty good hack/phreak system run by a guy by the name of Special Ed. The board is a site for a group called BOC - Bell Operating Company, and also a node on BOCNet, of which my system is also a member. The board has a good collection of the standard h/p stuff, as well as a growing collection of UNIXes. The number should be available all over. There is no NUP, and the system is running on a 16.8 dual.
- Infinite Darkness - 305 - This is a most excellent warez/hack/phreak/ansi/etc BBS, and is also the world HQ for CyberCrime International Network. The SysOp, Midnight Sorrow, is quite a cool guy, he gives out his voice number to everyone over public networks. He also has plenty of UNIX software on-line, which is quite unusual. The most unusual thing about ID is that there are around 35 ANSI file directories - 1 (sometimes 2 and 3) for every ANSI group in existence. He also has a good selection of hack/phreak stuff as well. The system is running a 14.4 HST and can be reached at 305-766-6065.
- The Phrozen Realm - 514 - This is without a doubt the best h/p system I've seen in recent years. Even the way the SysOp, Mechanix, has the software set up is unbelievably rad. The system has file directories for ALL the major (and minor) h/p in the world, even some weird shit you don't see all the time like Shawn-da-lay-Boy Productions. The message bases are pure hack/phreak, with excellent quality messages posted in decent quantities every day. For obvious reasons, I'm not giving out the number or NUP here, but if you do come across it in your travels, call it.
R0d3nt 0f The M0nth
This new section will appear in my article more or less every month. I'll try to pick out a r0d3nt who is truly deservant of this punishment, and if a month comes by that I can't find one (let's pray it happens all the time!), this section will not appear.
This month's r0d3nt is an idiot in 714 (where else?) going by the handle of Grimm. Now, that, in and of itself should give it away. Almost every christmas modemer in existence uses "Grimm" "Grim" "The Reaper" "Grim Reaper"... You get the point. This guy is one of those classic fools that use a 16-line extended ASCII auto-sig on every post, and think they're the |<-3l1t3s≈ d00d in the world - he even called me a "12 year old christmas modemer" ... You know, that's actually true. I *WAS* a 12 year old christmas modemer, only thing is that was 10 years ago. Anyway, if you're a SysOp and this cl0wn calls your board, be sure and delete him, and if he's on a board that you're a user on, beg your SysOp to delete the cretin. He's just lucky that I'm a christmas modemer, and there's no way I could ever possibly get his voice phone number (714-838-7908) or even his real name (Andrew).
A Cyberspace Fairy Tale
NOTE: THIS STORY IS PURELY FICTIONAL. ANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY AND ANY REAL PERSON LIVING, DEAD, OR UNDEAD IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL (yeah, sure. the story was only all over the tv news & newspapers for three whole weeks and even made "a current affair").
A long, long time ago in an area code far, far way there lived a thirteen year old r0d3nt named Data. Now Data thought he was a c001 d00d, so he put up a BBS running Telegard v2.5STD. He was a total amateur and so he didn't customize anything - it was totally stock. Now another modemer, far more experienced than Data, happened upon this pitiful BBS one hot summer day. "Wow - another BBS using a Star Trek name" thought Pazuzu to himself (the bbs was named "The Next Generation"). He took pity on poor Data, and helped him customize the BBS, until it was pretty rad looking. Then Pazuzu advertised the BBS for Data all over the world, and soon TNG was a very popular warez system, and was even a site for CO-OP (which was a union of TDT&TRSI at the time). And since Data was a spoiled little rich kid, he had a 14.4 modem when everyone else still had just a 9600 or 2400, which made his board even more popular among the warezzzZZzz set.
A short time later, Data became a beta site for a new BBS software called Velocity. Now he thought he was totally k-rad, and he told Pazuzu to fuck off, and even posted Pazuzu's real name and voice phone number over public networks. Now Pazuzu wasn't all that happy about this, but he didn't do anything about it because he didn't want to go to jail. Jail is bad.
Several years passed by, and Pazuzu heard nothing about Data, until one day he was watching the news on TV, and heard this: "Local Honor Student Stuart Tay found murdered..."
"Holy Jesus fucking Christ!" said Pazuzu "That fuck finally got it!"
Yes, Data=Stuart Tay, the Orange, California Honors Student who was found murdered and gained instant national attention. Actually, "murdered" is a bit too subtle. Actually, he was hit 20 times with a baseball bat, survived that, then had a bottle of rubbing alcohol poured down his throat, his mouth taped shut, then was buried alive.
The moral of this tale: Revenge comes in many strange forms, from many strange sources, and often at strange and unpredictable times, but it ALWAYS comes. Don't fuck with demons.
{END STORY MODE}
NOTE: I had nothing to do with the murder of Stuart Tay, and in fact I had forgotten all about him. However, I find it strange that someone who screwed me over was all of a sudden found murdered in such a lovely way. Kinda makes ya wonder...
