RIPCO Were not dead yet, but getting there... Well folks, things didn't quite work out as we planned, no surprise with messing with Unix based OS. Because of a limitation in the OS and the hardware on this end, the expected closing is going to be delayed for a while. We'll probably be playing with the new system on a different machine so things here will be normal, or as close to it for a while. Things are a bit screwed up though, since everything was transfered off and returned back in a different order a few minor items got messed up. I'll be tweaking things on and off so hang on to your shorts if you run into a problem. Dr. Ripco RIPCO II BBS (312)-528-5020 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun 4-11-93, 10:26 pm From: DR. RIPCO To: All Subject: System Closing Update Just to clear up the situation around here and to answer the bunch o'questions I've received in e-mail... First off, the system will be gone sooner or later. Some things jumped the gun without proper forethought but since somewhat new ground is being broken around here, the earlier annoucement probably should not have been made when it was. Secondly the new system at this point in time will be a complete second system totally disconnected from this one. It'll be that way until the second system is stablized enough to run on it's own. I've even been toying with the idea of letting this system run on it's own, probably on a different phone number even after the second system gets going. Not sure on this matter, it depends much on how the newer system looks to me and what it's capable of doing. In any case, to answer the question of when and if it's worthwhile calling here for the mean time, the answer is soon, probably by mid-summer at the earliest and no later than fall. If things don't come together by then, I doubt if it'll come to pass at all. To answer the question of "why" is simple. The new system presented itself much easier in thought than in real execution. Everything is going along but each step taken creates another fork in the road. Rather than killing the current system off and making the users pay for it in frustration of it being here one day and not the next, it was decided to start from scratch and all the "messing around" will be done on another computer system. So consider things to be "as usual" for the immediate future. Dr. Ripco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Section [3]: Phone Phreak Techniques By: Mercenary As companies attempt to secure there phone systems, many phreakers are once again turning to residential systems to secure there on-line time. I feel this may be the kiss-of-death for many of you out there. For everytime phreakers abuse residential systems a general uproar is usually started in certain Law-Enforcement circles after numerous complaints from residential customers. I present to you here some more of the popular scams being used by the phreaking community at this time. 1. THIRD PARTY BILLING This scam usually is pulled on someone the phreaker knows, but dislikes. It works well with traveling salesmen or others who's job requires them to spend a large amount of time away from home but leaves their family behind. The Phreaker will pose as the individual who is away and will have the operator call the real individuals home. The operator will inform the family Member that their "Loved-one" is making a third-party call and will they accept the charge. The unsuspecting family member will say, Yes we'll accept the charges thinking it is their real "Loved-one" And thus the phreaker has secured his access. 2. JUST SAY YES! With this scam the phreaker will pose as a Security Representative of an individuals long distance carrier (Sprint,AT&T,MCI) and say someone is using your phone line for some form of illegal activity. He will inform the unsuspecting "mark" that if he will accept a request to charge a long-distance call to his phone from the operator who will call him in several moments, it will allow them to trace the "criminal". The phreaker will of course explain to his "mark" that he will credit their account and they will not really be billed for the call. Being a law abiding "Americas Most Wanted" viewer, the mark will of course help the "Security Representative" get his man and accept the charges. Once again the phreaker has secured his access. 3. CALL FORWARDING SCAMS A phreaker posing as a telephone company technician will go to a "marks" house and present a legitimate looking ID they will have either scanned (stolen from a real employee) or created with a desktop publisher. He will inform the "mark" that they are having problems with the lines in his area and could he come in and do a quick check on the "marks" line. The phreaker will go to the "marks" phone and do what looks like just a quick check of the "marks" phone, but in reality he is call-forwarding the phone to a payphone where his accomplice will answer the phone. He will inform the "mark" that everything is fine and will leave. In the meantime, his accomplice will be answering the payphone and saying yes, I'll accept the charges for half of their phreaking buddies around the country placing third-party-calls. Sometimes the phreakers will not even enter your home to call forward your phone. they will clip into your lines with a homemade linemans handset and call forward from there. This is known as "Call Clipping". This particular technique works well in apartment complexes where almost all the junction boxes are located in the basement. 4. SOCIAL ENGINEERING In this scam, the Phreaker will call his "mark" posing as a police detective or some form of Law-enforcement official. The Phreaker will inform the "mark" that they have caught a family member or close friend commiting telephone fraud. The Phreaker will say that he cannot give out the name of the individual, because if he's innocent, the police do not want to make his name public. The phreaker will then ask the "mark" if they would help clear their family member or friend by accepting a collect call so they could trace the call to the real "criminal". Once again the phreaker gets his time. ----------- *** ------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Section [4]: DEF CON I Announcement Hey Schlenises: Pulled from the fringeware@wixer.cactus.org Finalized Announcement: 4/09/1993 We are proud to announce the 1st annual Def Con.

Our names are Andy Hawks and Paul Leonard, and we are the publishers of a new zine called PHAGE. PHAGE is a new magazine for people who are living on the new edge, surfing along the new wave of radical thought. This magazine was born from the need for a forum for new ideas in a print media. Andy Hawks has been producing an electronic mailing list called Future Culture for the last two years, catering to the desires of modern thinkers. This list, along with the Frequently Asked Questions file which is a primer for the list,arose out of an interest primarily in cyberpunk fiction, particularly the idea that "cyberpunk is really about the present". From there, the spectrum of information contained in the FutureCulture list spread to include a wide snapshot of aspects of modern culture that are ahead of the mainstream, oriented towards the near-future. This includes all realms of what is commonly called "new edge", "technoculture", or "cyberculture" -- a mishmash of postmodernism, psychedelics, hacking, raves, cyberspace, industrial music, cyberpunk fiction and realities, etc., that are proving to be important constructs in the evolution of world culture. The list and file continues to grow and morph, gaining a wide audience including,at one time or another, a variety of sociologists and anthropoligists, authors and writers, hackers, scientists, students, and prominent "cyber-" oriented figures.Those who share an interest in the topics discussed in the file can participate in in-depth or light-hearted discussions via the FutureCulture E-list. Concurrently, and independantly, Paul Leonard has been releasing fiction into the cybersphere through the Cult of The Dead Cow. The goals of cDc , since it's inception in 1986, have always been to create a culture within the new world of cyberspace. He has also ventured into the realm of print publishing with FNORD! Magazine, from 1989 to present. The two of us came together through the FutureCulture mailing list, along with the Leri & Aleph mailing lists. The bond was solidified over discussions on the Internet Relay Chat #leri conference. After a long period of deliberation it was decided that we should allow our ideas to propagate to as many people as possible. We decided that the best way to do this at this time was to start a print magazine based around our ideals. We live in a world where paper and television are the informational messengers of choice to the masses. The magazine will be designed and produced on the Macintosh computer, in an 8 1/2 x 11" format, and each issue will be in the area of 64 pages. We are planning to sell the magazine at a cover price of $3.50 (US), but until costs are measured, we cannot say for sure. We are looking for submissions and assistance with this project from all angles: fiction writers, essayists, ranters, graphic designers, artists, poets, etc. Submissions are welcome in any form, in any style, in any tone, though that is not a guarantee that everything we receive will be printed. We are looking for submisisons as soon as possible, but feel free to send them in whenever you like. For first issue, send them in by the second week of April. Due to lack of available resources, we are unable, for now, to reward monetarily those who contribute to PHAGE. We have have little money, and our primary interest is producing the highest-quality magazine possible, containg an immense spectrum of information. If you would like to contribute to PHAGE in any way, please send all queries, submissions, tips, words of wisdom, etc., to us on the Internet at: obscure@mindvox.phantom.com or ahawks@nyx.cs.du.edu If you do not have Internet access, please send mail to: PHAGE Magazine PO Box 10821 Green Bay, Wisconsin 54307-0821 ________________________________________________________________________ Possible Content Material ________________________________________________________________________ Focusing on the Edges of Culture, examining the Fringes of Reason and the Reasons of Fringe, the Here and Now and Soon-to-Be, via unstrcutured Tones that Ebb and Flow from In-Form Information to Formless Rants of Altered States.

(Hard Core in particular) 4) Hard Core's proof of the stolen crack consisted of blank lines that were in our TSR file that were supposed to have originally had Hard Core's first name in there twice ROB ROB. Now these are known facts and im shure no one will dispute the fact that this was the information that was being spread by TDT namely Hard Core. Well I am here now to prove the thief to be Hard Core. First we will adress the ROB ROB that was supposed to be in Hard Core'sTSR. If you look to Rob's TSR you will find that the ROB ROB that is in there also has many other blank spaces around it. You may ask yourself why are those other spaces there?? Well i'll tell you, the TSR that was used was written by TERMINATOR he took it from a previous crack of his that he did while he was cracking for Fairlight a little while back. That release was called MEGAFORTRESS. If you download that release from any BBS you will find the TSR to be the same one with TERMINATOR'S info filling those blank spaces perfectly! I will uploadthe TSR from that game following this text file get it and compare orif you want to be 100% shure download MEGAFORTRESS pull it apart and see for your self! Now if this is not enough for you people who still dont believe I have a second piece of proof for you! Download any TDT release that Hard Core supposedly wrote a TSR for and run it. You ask what for?? because you will hear silence! Now do the samewith any game TERMINATOR cracked and wrote a TSR for and run it. You will hear Terminators LEGENDARY beep. Now the deciding factor run the TSR from TDT's version of Ultima 7 and holy shit it fucking BEEPS! Now for a third piece of information any of Hard Core's TSR's that you will look at stay in memory where Terminators ALWAYS TERMINATE! The TSR that we supposedly stole from Hard Core Terminates from memory! See what happened here is whoever stole TERMINATORS crack for Ultima never took out his beep and put ROB ROB in there to try and make it look like we stole it from Hard Core. Now I dont know if hard Core did this or Hydro did this (since Hydro uploaded the crack file I dont know why) but whatever the case Hard Core claimed this to be his own! So its very obvious that Hard Core was NEVER able to crack this game! To Hard Core if you really could not crack the game why not deal with it? Did you really think you were going to get away with this? I really cant believe this was done... But at least the truth is nowout all that is left to say is GREAT JOB TERMINATOR!

The IIRG has recieved a tape of a phone conversation that was apparently secretly recorded amongst some of the people mentioned in the SeCT file. The truth of the matter in what we've transcribed so far is that the only real person responsible was the person named "JASON". Mercenary recieved an E-mail letter from one of the persons mentioned in the file and this is what he recieved... (Edited of Course) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: SIN CITY BBS To: The IIRG Hello... this is Lou XXXXXXX... I have written to you in the past... I have seen an article floating around recently accusing me of having helped out in the turning in of XXX XXXXS... this is not true. it has come to my attention that Muther has given you the JASON TAPES as I call them... I think you know what I'm talking about... please help me clear my name... I was an active user and contributed much to XXX XXXX before its demise... why would I want it down? I had no motive whatsoever! Jason is fully responsible... not me, and not Kevin XXXXX. Please transcribe the JASON TAPES in the next issue of Phantasy so that justice may be done. Thank you, I appreciate this. please reply -------------------------------------------------------------------- The IIRG will be presenting a transcription of the Tape in Phantasy 17 and hopefully this will correct some of the dis-information floating around out there and clear the matter up once and for all. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Section [7]: PHANTASY TIDBITS: News and Views of Interest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PUPILS HAD BOMB GUIDE --------------------- 150 - Page Manual Came from Computer Lebanon,CT. - A 150-page manual on how to make bombs and homemade explosives has been found in the hands of 13-year-olds in a Connecticut middle school. The inch-thick book, chock full of tips on bomb building and vandalizing schools was discovered last week at the Lebanon Middle School after a Mathematics teacher overheard a discussion among a few of his pupils. "It explained how to make bombs and how to cause mayhem at the school." said resident State Trooper Mark Maynard, who was called in to investigate. The manual had been obtained through a non-school computer bulletin board by an older brother of one of the middle school pupils. "The boy who obtained it is a computer whiz. He said he obtained it for the purpose of doing a class project," Maynard Said. But four or five copies of the manual wound up in the hands of middle school pupils and were being sold to seventh- and eighth-graders for $10.00 apiece. The older brother, a high-school student, apparently retrieved the computer information about two months ago, but it did not surface at the middle school until march 14th, not long after the bombing at the World Trade Center in New York City. "The first concern was that it was related to that," Maynard said. "It just happened to surface right after it". And while retrieving such information falls under Freedom of Speech and is not illegal, it is against school rules to sell anything not for a school Fund-raiser, said Bert Bosse, principal of the middle school. Superintendent of Schools Albert Vertefeuille said some disciplinary actions will be taken against the pupils for selling the computer document on school grounds, but he declined to elaborate on what that action would be. The computer information was not obtained through any school computers, but a copy was later placed on one of the computers at nearby Lyman Memorial High School. That also violated school rules, the school officials said. "The thing that bothered us was that there was specific things on how to terrorize schools,teachers,and principals," said Bosse. "My biggest concern was not that any of the kids we dealt with would have used this for terrorism, but they may have tried to attempt [to build explosives] themselves and caused serious injuries." Nationwide, hundreds of children and teenagers are maimed or killed every year from experimentation with homemade explosives. Information obtained from computer bulletin boards on homemade bomb making has been a major contributor to such mishaps, police said. "I think the problem is there is no law pertaining to this," Maynard Said. In connecticut, teenagers learning how to manufacture bombs through home and school computers contributed a nearly 50 percent increase in the number of homemade explosives discovered last year by state police. "We are definitely seeing more of it. Kids by nature experiment", said Sgt. Kenneth Startz, who supervises the emergency services ddivision of the state police, which includes the bomb squad. "Bosse described the boys involved with the incident at the middle school as good pupils who had not been in trouble before. He said he believed they were driven by curiosity than anything else. All of the kids were very cooperative, Bosse said. The parents were totally shocked when they read what was in it". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HIGHWAY SIGN HAS OFFICIALS BLUSHING Fairfield,CT.-Thousands of motorists traveling South-bound on Interstate-95 got a terse message on an electronic traffic sign: "YOU ALL SUCK". We dont know how they did it," said State Police Lieut. Albert Masek of troop G in Westport. "We thought maybe a computer hacker did it" The incident was reported on the morning shift Sunday, Apr. 4th and responding troopers could not disable the large, yellow lights on the portable, 10-foot-high sign located near Exit 19. The sign displayed the message for several hours until a state Department of Transportation crew got it covered with a large tarp. DOT spokesman William Keish said Monday that the sign can only be programmed from DOT offices in Wethersfield or State Police headquarters in Meriden. Bill Stoeckerd, director of DOT's incident management office reprogrammed it Monday. "Were taking steps with the contractor to upgrade our security," said Stoeckerd. "We really don't know, whether [the pranksters] were able to come into access accidentally or not." He said the sign, in use since August, was recently the target of a similar prank, but not the exact same wording. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VULGAR HIGHWAY MESSAGES AN OUTSIDE JOB, POLICE SAY Connecticut State Police have concluded a computer infiltrator is responsible for two crude messages, the latest lambasting Gov. Lowell P. Weicker Jr., that have flashed on a highway electronic message board in Fairfield,Ct. in the past two weeks. CT State Police Master Sgt. Scott O'Mara would not comment on reports that police had identified a suspect, he said "the 10 day old investigation was progressing". The message board reportedly can only be operated from the state Department of Transportation operations center in Wethersfield or the state police communications center in Meiden,CT. but police believe the vulgar messages did not come from either of those locations. Instaed,"We believe it's a computer crime by modem through a phone line", O'Mara Said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IIRG NOTE ON HIGHWAY SIGN At the time of the completion of this issue of Phantasy, a suspect has been caught in the Highway Prank situation in Fairfield,CT.
