Tuc started out in the BBS world in July 1980 when he first got his modem, a
|
||
|
|
Novation Acoustic. In August of 1981, Connection-80 of Stony Point, his first
|
||
|
|
bulletin board, was launched into the BBS world. It started on a TRS-80 Model
|
||
|
|
I, Epson MX-80 printer, 2 single density disk drives, a Novation Acoustic
|
||
|
|
modem, and a home built auto-answer module. At the time, he didn't even know
|
||
|
|
what phreaking was, so it was a general public board. A software switch to
|
||
|
|
RACS III occurred on January 10, 1982, running until January 10, 1985. The hard
|
||
|
|
drive arrived a few months ago to build it to the board that it currently is.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Members of the elite world which he has met include King Blotto, Lex Luthor,
|
||
|
|
Dr. Who, Crimson Death, The Videosmith, Jester Sluggo, The Sprinter, Mark
|
||
|
|
Tabas, BIOC Agent 003, Agrajag, Telenet Bob, Big Brother, Cheshire Catalyst,
|
||
|
|
Egyptian Lover, Magnetic Surfer, Paul Muad'Dib, Lord Digital, Sir Knight, 2600
|
||
|
|
Editor (Emanuelle Goldstein [sp.]), Susan Thunder, Modem Rider, Sharp Razor,
|
||
|
|
Hertz Tone, The Flying Avocado, and The Ace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
His phreak experience began in March of 1982 through the new board's software
|
||
|
|
having a section called "Phreak-80". People started calling and paying
|
||
|
|
attention to it, including one caller by the name of Susan Thunder, which is
|
||
|
|
how he personally began to phreak. She lead him around the scene which
|
||
|
|
included the infamous 8 BBS and to other people such as Larry Kelly. Some of
|
||
|
|
the memorable phreak boards he was on included 8 BBS, MOM, OSUNY, The Private
|
||
|
|
414 Board (as in THE 414's), Blottoland, The Connection, L.O.D., Plovernet,
|
||
|
|
Pirate 80, Sherwood Forest I, II, and III, WOPR, IROC, Pirate Trek, Pirate's
|
||
|
|
I/O, Datanet, Stalag 13, A.I. Labs, and Hell Phrozen Over. He gives credit
|
||
|
|
for his phreak knowledge to Susan Thunder and the people that she put him in
|
||
|
|
touch with.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tuc's work is as a computer and communications security freelance consultant.
|
||
|
|
He's done lots of programming in basic for the TRS-80, and assembly language
|
||
|
|
for the IBM 370.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tuc does hack and phreak, but with his employer's consent. Tuc attends the TAP
|
||
|
|
meetings in New York occasionally, but in the past he was a regular. He's
|
||
|
|
attended all Phreak-Con's, he was an assistant editor of the original TAP, and
|
||
|
|
was a pioneer in the phreak world before blue boxing and Alliance
|
||
|
|
Teleconferencing was common knowledge. Besides that, he was the one on West
|
||
|
|
57th Street labeled "Scott Jeffrey Ellentuch". He was hard to find on that
|
||
|
|
particular program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tuc has been involved with various groups in his lifetime including (in the
|
||
|
|
order that he joined them) The Warelords, The Knights of Shadow, Apple Mafia,
|
||
|
|
and, at the same time as Apple Mafia, Fargo 4A.
|
||
|

|

Most Memorable Experiences
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Car ride with 8 phreaks in Tuc's VW Super Beetle at a Phreak Con.
|
||
|
|
The Fargo 4A stunt (getting all Fargo, N.D. DA's to go home).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some People to Mention
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Susan Thunder (for getting him started)
|
||
|
|
All those that helped him while he was coming up in the world (too many to
|
||
|
|
mention)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tuc is 150% against credit carding. He thinks that is out and out criminal
|
||
|
|
activity, something that is totally against the code of ethics of phreaking and
|
||
|
|
hacking. He also doesn't appreciate the fighting between phreaks that occurs
|
||
|
|
so often in the phreak world today. He thinks the modern community is
|
||
|
|
crumbling.

I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming in
|
||
|
|
the near future. And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most
|
||
|
|
phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? No names mentioned, but yes, a few of
|
||
|
|
the ones he has met are computer geeks. Thank you for your time, Tuc.
