'Planning Ahead' Every self respecting hacker or phone phreak should plan ahead. In this phile I hope to show you how and what to take when you have to make a break for it. I. Know Thy Neigborhood -------------------- Knowing your neighborhood is the only defence you have. First make a map of the areas you intend to be and take it with you. Believe me it will come in handy. Next have a place where you can stash a sup- ply of food,equipment etc. This area should be easily accesible but impossible to find from the air. Also you will need a place to stay for the first couple of nights... Also if you are attending school, DON'T go there...That is the first place that they will look for you. II. Taketh Supplies --------------- Here are a few things that are a definite must to take with you. Test Set 7/16" Socket wrench Money Clothing (personal choice) Hammer or small crowbar Pliers (vice grip tm) Two (2) pair of shoes All incriminating printouts And one days supply of high protein food All of this should be kept at your 'stash' area. III. On the Road ----------- Although I would recommend staying at a friends (more on this later) having a fairly good idea of where you're going is important. I would suggest somwhere near your domicile but not near enough to attract attention.. IV. A Friend in Need... ------------------- Having a friend who will put you up for the night is the best thing you could hope for. Such a friend is one who: Has no connection to you (meaning computers,phones etc.) Has some idea of what you do, but won't spill the beans. Has laid back parents. And is willing to cover for you. V. After ----- Now say it's been awhile since you've been away...arrange for a meeting point between you and some- one who knows if the heat is on or not...if not go back to your stash point and get ready for some 'wiretap' checking. First go to the bridging head that your parents phone line is on. Look for any type device or wire that shouldn't be there. If there is one simply hook it on to someone else's wire pair. Now carefully scout the box on the pole..repeat above procedure if necessary. Now carefully enter your yard and look inside that box.. repeat above if necessary. Now if everthing is O.K. it is safe for you to go home..Still i would recommend that you check for internal wiretaps.. The Berzerker Downloaded from Just Say Yes. 2 lines, More than 500 files online!
