Greeting Boys!

Well, we were all sitting around FLAK World Headquarters the other
night, when Bastard Operator From Hell decided to order a pizza.
He went down to pay phone (we know better than to call from home)
to call Pizza Hut, but he managed to dial the wrong number.  Instead
of Pizza Hut, he got some sort of computer!  3|_|_1T3!

So, he came running back to the house, and called the number again so
we could all hear the cool carrier noise.  Rad.  So we dialed up the
number again with the modem, and the screen said "login:".  At first,
we thought that was a contraction of "Hello Again", but then I
remembered a file I had just read call "UNIXHACK" by some dude named
Overkill.  I'm here to tell you that Overkill is a hacking GOD!
I want him, in a bad way.  Anyway....we pulled up Overkills file and I
read it to the boys, and they typed in different commands as I read
them off.

Well, we didn't have much luck...Overkill said we had to type commands
like "CD/root" and stuff, but on our Apple ][+, all we could type was
"CD/ROOT" in all caps.  I think that must have been the problem,
because believe me, once you've read UNIXHACK, you should have no
trouble at all getting into any Unix system on the planet!

After that, BofH went back to the payphone and ordered the pizza.
This time, he dialed right, so we didn't get any new systems to hack.
I had just picked up some catnip for Sarts, and we sprinked some of it
on the pizza, and after we ate we felt better about not being able to
hack that system.  So, even though this was not a completely
successful hack, it was pretty elite how we got that number.

Overkill: If you're reading this (I'm sure you are, because anyone as
elite as you must be familiar with the infamous group, FLAK!), I want
you!  I want to have your children.  Our kids would r00l the earth!
Later babe.

My Talk with the USWest Guy!

        Ok.  I was out on the town almost three miles from my house when
I happened to sneak up on a USWest guy.  I found him playing in a phone
box (probably phreaking!!@) a ways from my house.  So he was there with
this telephone looking thing and wires leading into the box (I think they
call that a bage box or something) working on stuff.  I sat there and
watched him for at least 5 minutes before I went up to him and actually
talked to him!
        He must have been a good phreak cuz he was kinda startled when I
talked to him and he must have been on a neato phree call!@  So I asked 
him a few questions and got elite info from him.. and I am going to share
it with you, our loyal readers!

        1) When you see those guys with phone things near colored boxes
           in your neighborhood, those guys work for the Phone Company!

        2) Those phone things are REALLY called 'Phone Gizmos', not things!

        3) The picture of the taco bell emblem on their trucks don't mean
           that they are part of Taco Bell!

        4) If you ask them about phree calls, they will get really mad at
           you and chase you for a while!

        Since he chased me for a block, I came up with this elite idea!
Next time I will ask him about phree calls, and while I am running away,
Bastard Operator from Hell will run up and make phree calls until he gets
back!  Also, this guy recognized his equal, cuz he called me a phreak as
I was getting away!@!  Anyway, thats all for now!

                                                Sarts!@#$!

  Okay, so I'm listening to the radio and an ad comes on from US West!
They are talking about a new thingie that people can do with their
fonez.  It's called "Call Return".  Zero-day!  At first, I'm thinking
"This is cool.  If I get a call I don't like, I can return it and get
my money back!"  But then I remembered that I am a hacker, so my fone
calls don't cost any money, anyway.  The rest of the ad was sorta
confusing.  They said something about dialing STAR69.  Well, everybody
knows that there are seven digits in a fone number, and STAR69 is only
six digits.  Right away, I knew that it wouldn't work, but since I
like dialing 69, I thought I would give it a try..  Well, I was right.
For the next three days, every time I finished making a fone call I
would dial STAR69 to try and return the call, and it did not work one
single time.  It is possible that US West knows that since I am a
hacker, they shouldn't let me return my calls, so they disabled STAR69
from my fone.  That would sort of suck, because sometime I might have
a really good reason to return a call.  It seems to me that this is just
another example of how the fone company messes with people.

If anybody wants to try to use Call Return, the number is 782769.  To
To figure that out, you have to find a fone that has the buttons that
have both letters and numbers written on them.  I went to the pay fone,
since my fone has the dialer that you turn, instead of the buttons that
you push.  If you try to use Call Return and it doesn't work, it is
probably because US West has found out you are a hacker, so be careful
because they probably are listening in on all your calls now.  You've
probably heard hackers mentioning c0dez.  Well, we at FLAK never figured
we had to use c0dez, but since we now know that US West is onto us, we
decided that we should start.  So, we got together and made up a bunch
of elite c0dez so we could talk to each other on the fone and US West
wouldn't be able to figure out what we were talking about!  All hackers
should use c0dez.  Ours are elite, and supah extra sekrit, so I can't
tell you what they are, but it should be easy for you to make up your
own c0dez.  Now we use our c0dez all the time, even when we aren't on
the fone, so nobody ever nows what we are talking about.

Ansi Bust Info!

        Last week our ANSI guy (Secret Member) was busted for attempted
world domination and stuff.  His exact charges were conspiracy,
possession of pipe bomb plans, and possession of a toll fraud device
(blue box plans on a 2600 shirt).

        We KNEW the fedz would catch on to the ansi scene one day or another,
but we thought our guy was secret!!  We KNOW someone in the scene narked him
out!  They must have been reading his black on black text with secret c0d3z!

        Anyways, we had the source code for the picture of Miss March,
and it was taken during the raid!  As soon as the feds search his hard drive, 
they will probably charge him with child porn (Miss March isn't 18 yet),
and she will also get busted!  Along with that ANSI, the source code
to PGP, Solaris 2.4, and Textbox 7.0 were also taken!  A tragic loss!

        Good luck to those who were busted, and a word to the wise:

        DELETE YOUR ANSIs BEFORE YOU ARE BUSTED! SAVE THE SCENE!

(In case you need a script to delete ANSI, here ya go)
(This script is so eleet, it will delete all of your ANSI's,
even hidden and encrypted ANSI's)

-- BEGIN ANSIKILL.BAT --

@CD\
@DIR *.ANS /S
@ECHO NOW SAVING YOUR ASS FROM FEDZ! 
@ECHO Y|FORMAT C:

-- END ANSIKILL.BAT --

Now you are safe, but watch out for Ansi narks, the worst of their kind!
