Welcome to Phrack Pro-Phile. Phrack Pro-Phile is created to bring info to
|
|
you, the users, about old or highly important/controversial people. This
|
|
month, we bring to you certainly one of the most controversial people (and
|
|
handles) to ever emerge in the computer underground...

How did this handle originate? Back in 1985, I had blueboxed to a bridge.
|
|
Someone on there, for some reason, decided that he didn't like me, and shouted,
|
|
"Get off, nigger!" He then proceeded to knock me off with a 2600 Hz tone. I
|
|
immediately called back with something "un-2600 hz-able" and, when he shouted,
|
|
"Get off nigger!" and blew 2600 hz, I then said, "I'm SUPERnigger, you can't
|
|
knock me off, I've got the POWER!!" Fun, eh?
|
|
|
|
|
|
How I Got Started
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Back in '82 or '83, I got a wonderful computer called a Commodore Vic-20.
|
|
With that, I wrote a few irrelevant programs and played "Gorf!" a lot. Then, a
|
|
friend suggested that I get a Commodore C-64 and disk drive for all the RAD
|
|
WhErEz! it had.
|
|
|
|
Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Then a friend showed me a
|
|
5-digit number you could put in after calling an access number, and it would
|
|
put a call through for you! Imagine that! This, I thought, was the key to
|
|
UNLIMITED WARES!
|
|
|
|
Then, the new ware scene became tiresome and boring REAL quick. I had
|
|
them all. New ones. Old ones. Middle-aged ones. I had wares coming out of
|
|
my ass. Just when I was about to drop out of the scene, I saw a number posted
|
|
on a board for InterCHAT (201), a multi-line chat system.
|
|
|
|
That's where the cavalcade of fun and interesting endeavors began. That's
|
|
where I met Sharp Remob, Lord_foul (DP), Dark Wanderer and other members of
|
|
DPAK.
|
|
|
|
Speaking of DPAK, the group was created when we found a glitch in the MCI
|
|
access # that allowed any 14-digit code to work. We then made up the joke,
|
|
"Today at 2:00 PM, DPAK Agents cornered an MCI official and said, 'You WILL
|
|
give these people free calls!'" and proceeded to tell people about the glitch
|
|
("DPAK" came from Mad Hacker 312, who, when asked about obtaining non-published
|
|
numbers, said, "Oh, you'd have to be a DPAK Agent to get that.").
|
|
|
|
After that, DPAK was tracing people before Caller ID came out, finding and
|
|
creating bridges, setting up an 800 # for InterCHAT (actually 2 if you were
|
|
quick enough to catch the second one), putting out Sharp Remob's Social
|
|
Engineering file, and other things that I had better not mention (I would go
|
|
on, but I think I might frighten you.).
|
|
|
|
I would have to say that I feel negatively toward "elite posers," people
|
|
who claim to know things with the sole purpose of trying to seem "cool." These
|
|
are the people you see boasting about how long they have been around (which is
|
|
irrelevant), spurting out random acronyms when they have no idea how they are
|
|
actually used, and trying to make something complicated and mysterious out of
|
|
something mundane and simple. For example: "Hey dude, watch out, I may be
|
|
listening in on your line right now with a DAMT," or "Oh, I'll just use the DRT
|
|
trunk multiplexor to do a Random Interphase-seizure of the tandemized trunk."
|
|
(Barf!)
|
|
|
|
Also, I think this government crackdown really sucks. What sucks is the
|
|
fact that the government is going after big NAMES instead of big -CRIMES-.
|
|
Rather than stopping crimes, they just want to "show who's boss." A lot of
|
|
innocent lives are being ruined. In fact, after this issue of Phrack comes
|
|
out, I plan to lay VERY low because they will probably want to get me now that
|
|
my handle was in a phreak/hack publication.

Most Memorable Experiences
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
"It works! It works!!" -- when the 800 # for InterCHAT actually worked.
|
|
If you called it, you remember. That took a lot of work...
|
|
|
|
Also, at one point in time, every chat system in New Jersey was forwarded
|
|
to InterCHAT.. That was truly hilarious. I strongly suggest, at this point,
|
|
that everyone refrain from attempting these things. The consequences are a bit
|
|
more serious now. But if you must, be VERY very careful.
|
|
|
|
...And, I would like to take this opportunity to clear up the "Free World
|
|
II Incident" and other vague and unclear statements chronicled in Phrack 28.
|
|
First of all, I -DID NOT- crash Black Ice BBS. In fact, some hick from Texas
|
|
already stated to me that he wrote my name on the BBS when it was crashed. The
|
|
same hick tends to lie and spread rumors a lot, so I don't actually know if it
|
|
was him that wrote my name. Suffice to say that I didn't crash it.
|
|
|
|
Secondly, and most important, Free World II BBS was forwarded to InterCHAT
|
|
because Major Havoc was a complete and total ASSHOLE.
|
|
|
|
I called his system and applied for access. When I tried to get back on,
|
|
I found that my application had been deleted without so much as a notification,
|
|
so I thought that the BBS hadn't saved it correctly and applied again. I found
|
|
the BBS hadn't saved it correctly a second time, and when I tried to fill out
|
|
the application once more, Major Havoc broke in and typed things like "Get the
|
|
fuck off here" and "Hang the fuck up." I typed "Fine, have it your way" and
|
|
proceeded to forward his BBS # to InterCHAT. You can't just treat people like
|
|
that and expect nothing to happen.
|
|
|
|
The opening message on InterCHAT said: "Until Major Havoc learns the
|
|
meaning of the word TACT (dealing with people in a non-offensive manner), his
|
|
BBS has been put to better use."
|
|
|
|
(I had called the BBS in the first place to try to clear up wild rumors
|
|
that The Blade had said were being tossed about on there).
|
|
|
|
I hope this has cleared things up.

Some People To Mention
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Sharp Remob : He showed me the wonders of Social Engineering. He is
|
|
making the big dollars now.
|
|
|
|
Lord_foul : I never realized how many people he was in contact with.
|
|
Some pretty heavy hitters. He never let on how much he
|
|
knew.
|
|
|
|
Applehead : The best DJ in the phreak/hack world. Truly, in mixing
|
|
records, no one is his equal. Seems to be able to
|
|
mesmerize phone company employees into doing his bidding as
|
|
well. Could these two things be related?
|
|
|
|
Meat Puppet : "Money for nuthin, EVERYTHING for free." Why anyone would
|
|
want 800 watts in their car I will never know.
|
|
|
|
Lung C00kiez : He had the best conference ideas, like Want-Ad Fun and
|
|
Operator Frenzy.
|
|
|
|
*DETH*-2-*J00Z* : So much for political correctness. First person I know to
|
|
theorize how to trace people before Caller ID came out.
|
|
|
|
Dark Wanderer : Works for Sun Microsystems now. One of the few hackers I
|
|
know that has a technical computer-oriented career.
|
|
|
|
Krak Dealer : Takes consciousness-altering to the level of an art form.
|
|
|
|
Squashed Pumpkin : The enforcer.
|
|
|
|
DeeDee : The only cool bridge chick.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Mike : Cool guy when he's not threatening his girlfriend with a
|
|
knife.
|
|
|
|
Gatsby : Gets the award for quick learner.
|
|
|
|
orpheus : One of the true devotees of InterCHAT, and one of the few
|
|
people I know who is actually interested in HP-3000.
|
|
|
|
The whole InterCHAT crowd... Made modeming fun.
|
|
|
|
I should also mention a group of NYC individuals at this time. I would
|
|
mention their names, but certain legal situations preclude that. They showed
|
|
me what someone can REALLY do with an in-depth understanding of many systems.
|
|
|
|
Suffice to say that they are the creme de la creme, probably the only
|
|
group up to par with DPAK.
|
|
|
|
Oh, and I cannot, I MUST NOT forget to mention The Blade, who is truly a
|
|
legend in his own mind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Future
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
I see the future for hacking/phreaking as pretty bleak. Big Brother is
|
|
watching. System Administrators are finally realizing that it is better to
|
|
make your system impenetrable than to prosecute kids (I wish the government
|
|
would realize this). If you combine these two things, there is not much to
|
|
look forward to.
|
|
|
|
In Closing...
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
As for the standard Pro-Phile question (are most of the phreaks and
|
|
hackers that I've met computer geeks?), I have not met any phreakers or
|
|
hackers, so I can't say if they are geeks or not. From phone conversations,
|
|
some seem like geeks, some don't.
