|
| Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| CPSR empowers computer professionals and computer users to advocate |
| for the responsible use of information technology and empowers all who |
| use computer technology to participate in the public debate. As |
| technical experts, CPSR members provide the public and policymakers |
| with realistic assessments of the power, promise, and limitations of |
| computer technology. As an organization of concerned citizens, CPSR |
| directs public attention to critical choices concerning the |
| applications of computing and how those choices affect society. |
|
|
| By matching unimpeachable technical information with policy |
| development savvy, CPSR uses minimum dollars to have maximum impact |
| and encourages broad public participation in the shaping of technology |
| policy. |
|
|
| Every project we undertake is based on five principles: |
|
|
| * We foster and support public discussion of and public |
| responsibility for decisions involving the use of computers in |
| systems critical to society. |
|
|
| * We work to dispel popular myths about the infallibility of |
| technological systems. |
|
|
| * We challenge the assumption that technology alone can solve |
| political and social problems. |
|
|
| * We critically examine social and technical issues within the |
| computer profession, nationally and internationally. |
|
|
| * We encourage the use of computer technology to improve the quality |
| of life. |

| The League for Programming Freedom (LPF) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| The League for Programming Freedom is an organization of people who |
| oppose the attempt to monopolize common user interfaces through "look |
| and feel" copyright lawsuits. Some of us are programmers, who worry |
| that such monopolies will obstruct our work. Some of us are users, |
| who want new computer systems to be compatible with the interfaces we |
| know. Some are founders of hardware or software companies, such as |
| Richard P. Gabriel. Some of us are professors or researchers, |
| including John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Guy L. Steele, Jr., Robert S. |
| Boyer and Patrick Winston. |
|
|
| "Look and feel" lawsuits aim to create a new class of government- |
| enforced monopolies broader in scope than ever before. Such a system |
| of user-interface copyright would impose gratuitous incompatibility, |
| reduce competition, and stifle innovation. |
|
|
| We in the League hope to prevent these problems by preventing |
| user-interface copyright. The League is NOT opposed to copyright law |
| as it was understood until 1986 -- copyright on particular programs. |
| Our aim is to stop changes in the copyright system which would take |
| away programmers' traditional freedom to write new programs compatible |
| with existing programs and practices. |
|
|
| Annual dues for individual members are $42 for employed professionals, |
| $10.50 for students, and $21 for others. We appreciate activists, but |
| members who cannot contribute their time are also welcome. |
|
|
| To contact the League, phone (617) 243-4091, send Internet mail to the |
| address league@prep.ai.mit.edu, or write to: |

| Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
| CERT is the Computer Emergency Response Team that was formed by the |
| Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in November 1988 in |
| response to the needs exhibited during the Internet worm incident. |
| The CERT charter is to work with the Internet community to facilitate |
| its response to computer security events involving Internet hosts, to |
| take proactive steps to raise the community's awareness of computer |
| security issues, and to conduct research targeted at improving the |
| security of existing systems. |
|
|
| CERT products and services include 24-hour technical assistance for |
| responding to computer security incidents, product vulnerability |
| assistance, technical documents, and seminars. In addition, the team |
| maintains a number of mailing lists (including one for CERT |
| advisories) and provides an anonymous FTP server: cert.org |
| (192.88.209.5), where security-related documents, past CERT |
| advisories, and tools are archived. |

| Section D: 2600 |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
| 01. What is alt.2600? |
|
|
| Alt.2600 is a Usenet newsgroup for discussion of material relating to |
| 2600 Magazine, the hacker quarterly. It is NOT for the Atari 2600 |
| game machine. Len@netsys.com created the group on Emmanuel |
| Goldstein's recommendation. Emmanuel is the editor/publisher of 2600 |
| Magazine. Following the barrage of postings about the Atari machine to |
| alt.2600, an alt.atari.2600 was created to divert all of the atari |
| traffic from alt.2600. Atari 2600 people are advised to hie over to |
| rec.games.video.classic. |
|
|
|
|
| 02. What does "2600" mean? |
|
|
| 2600Hz was a tone that was used by early phone phreaks (or |
| phreakers) in the 80's, and some currently. If the tone was sent down the |
| line at the proper time, one could get away with all sorts of fun stuff. |
|
|
| A note from Emmanuel Goldstein: |
| |
| "The Atari 2600 has NOTHING to do with blue boxes or telephones |
| or the 2600 hertz tone. The 2600 hertz tone was simply the first |
| step towards exploring the network. If you were successful at |
| getting a toll call to drop, then billing would stop at that |
| point but there would be billing for the number already dialed |
| up until the point of seizure. 800 numbers and long distance |
| information were both free in the past and records of who called |
| what were either non-existent or very obscure with regards to |
| these numbers. This, naturally, made them more popular than |
| numbers that showed up on a bill, even if it was only for |
| a minute. Today, many 800 numbers go overseas, which provides |
| a quick and free way into another country's phone system |
| which may be more open for exploration." |
|
|
|
|
| 03. Are there on-line versions of 2600 available? |
|
|
| No. |
|
|
|
|
| 04. I can't find 2600 at any bookstores. What can I do? |
|
|
| Subscribe. Or, let 2600 know via the subscription address that you |
| think 2600 should be in the bookstore. Be sure to include the |
| bookstores name and address. |
|
|
|
|
| 05. Why does 2600 cost more to subscribe to than to buy at a newsstand? |
|
|
| A note from Emmanuel Goldstein: |
|
|
| We've been selling 2600 at the same newsstand price ($4) since 1988 |
| and we hope to keep it at that price for as long as we can get away |
| with it. At the same time, $21 is about the right price to cover |
| subscriber costs, including postage and record keeping, etc. People |
| who subscribe don't have to worry about finding an issue someplace, |
| they tend to get issues several weeks before the newsstands get |
| them, and they can take out free ads in the 2600 Marketplace. |
|
|
| This is not uncommon in the publishing industry. The NY Times, for |
| example, costs $156.50 at the newsstands, and $234.75 delivered to your |
| door. |
|
|
|
|
| Section E: Phrack Magazine |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
| 01. What Is Phrack Magazine? |
|
|
| Phrack Magazine is one of the longest running electronic-based publications |
| in the world. Originally founded in 1985 by Knight Lightning and Taran |
| King, it has survived several incarnations of editors and still remains |
| true to its underground roots. Since its inception, Phrack has been |
| providing the hacker community with information on operating systems, |
| networking technologies and telephony, as well as relaying human interest |
| features of interest to the international computer underground. |
|
|
| During its lifetime, Phrack has always been at the center of controversy. |
| Since the magazine has always been openly available, it presented law |
| enforcement officials with what they percieved to be a direct link into |
| the secret society of computer hackers. Not truly understnding either |
| the the spirit of the magazine or the community for which it was written, |
| Federal Agents and Prosecutors began to target Phrack Magazine and those |
| affiliated with it. |
|
|
| "The Hacker Crackdown" by Bruce Sterling relays the details surrounding |
| some of these events. |
|
|
| Phrack Magazine is now in its 10th year of publication, and is registered |
| with the Library of Congress as ISSN 1068-1035, and is protected by |
| US Copyright Law. |
|
|
| 02. How can I reach Phrack Magazine? |
|
|
| You can reach Phrack by email at: phrack@well.com, phrack@fc.net or |
| phrackmag@aol.com. These addresses are listed in order of |
| preference. Only AOL users should email the phrackmag@aol.com. |
|
|
| Phrack can be reached by the postal service at: |
|
|
| Phrack Magazine |
| 603 W. 13th #1A-278 |
| Austin, TX 78701 |
|
|
| 03. Who Publishes Phrack? |
|
|
| Phrack Magazine is published by Chris Goggans, aka Erik Bloodaxe. It is |
| hobbled together, touched up, spell checked and compressed on an overworked |
| 486-66. It is then ftp'ed over to a BSDI UNIX machine where it is sent to |
| the masses. |
|
|
| 04. How Often Does Phrack Go Out? |
|
|
| Phrack goes out roughly quarterly. It is often sent out later than every |
| three months due to other more demanding obligations faced by its editor. |
| The regularity of Phrack is really based upon the amount of information |
| sent in. Phrack depends solely upon submissions to get published at all. |
|
|
| 05. How Do I Subscribe? |
|
|
| To subscribe to Phrack magazine, merely email phrack@well.com and ask to |
| be placed on the mailing list. |
|
|
| Any encrypted subscriptions requests will be ignored. |
|
|
| Phrack will not accept subscription requests from any anonymous remailers or |
| from sites in the fidonet domain. The anonymous remailers consistently |
| bounce our mailings causing a big headache, so we won't use them. The |
| fidonet domain administrators have asked us not to mail Phrack to fido users, |
| because of the huge load it places on their outgoing spools (costing them a |
| lot of money to send). |
|
|
| 06. Why Don't I Get Any Response When I E-mail Phrack? |
|
|
| Because of the high volume of mail sent to the Phrack email address, |
| not everyone gets a response. All subscription requests are saved and |
| added to the master list, but there is no automatic reply. All other |
| messages are responded to as they are read, with the exception of PGP'd |
| messages. All PGP'd email is stored for later decryption, and is almost |
| never responded to, unless it is incredibly urgent. |
|
|
| 07. Does Phrack Cost Money? |
|
|
| Phrack Magazine charges a registration fee of $100.00 per user for any |
| professional use of the magazine and the information contained therein. |
| Information regarding this registration fee is contained at the beginning |
| of every issue of Phrack. |
|
|
| 08. How Can I Submit Articles? |
|
|
| Articles are both wanted and needed. Phrack only exists if people write |
| for it. There is no regular writing staff, there is only the editor, who |
| cannot write the entire thing himself. |
|
|
| Articles can be sent to Phrack via email or snailmail (on paper or |
| IBM-compatible diskette). Articles should be in ASCII text format. Do |
| not include any clever graphics or ANSI art. You can use Phrack's PGP key |
| to encrypt articles, but send the files in the ASCII armor format. |
|
|
| Please try to avoid sending files as MIME-compliant mail attachments. |
|
|

|
| 10. Where Can I Get Back Issues? |
|
|
| Back issues of Phrack are found on many bulletin boards around the globe. |
| The only OFFICIAL Phrack Magazine distribution site is our ftp archive |
| at ftp.fc.net in /pub/phrack. There are NO official distribution sites |
| other than this one, nor will there ever be. We don't want to play |
| favorites and let one particular BBS call itself an "official" site while |
| another isn't. Therefore, there will be no "official" sites except those |
| archived by Phrack itself. |
|
|
| You can also get back issues on the World Wide Web by connecting to: |
| http://www.fc.net/phrack.html |
|
|
| This URL allows users to view issues online, or pull them down for |
| later viewing. |
|
|
| Any users without net access can send diskettes and postage to the |
| Phrack Postal Address given above, and request back issues to be |
| sent via the postal system. |

| 02. How do I determine if I have a valid credit card number? |
|
|
| Credit cards use the Luhn Check Digit Algorithm. The main purpose of |
| this algorithm is to catch data entry errors, but it does double duty |
| here as a weak security tool. |
|
|
| For a card with an even number of digits, double every odd numbered |
| digit and subtract 9 if the product is greater than 9. Add up all the |
| even digits as well as the doubled-odd digits, and the result must be |
| a multiple of 10 or it's not a valid card. If the card has an odd |
| number of digits, perform the same addition doubling the even numbered |
| digits instead. |

| 04. What are the ethics of hacking? |
|
|
| An excerpt from: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution |
| by Steven Levy |
|
|
| Access to computers -- and anything which might teach you |
| something about the way the world works -- should be unlimited |
| and total. Always yield to the Hands-On imperative. |
|
|
| All information should be free. |
|
|
| Mistrust Authority. Promote Decentralization. |
|
|
| Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria |
| such as degrees, age, race, or position. |
|
|
| You can create art and beauty on a computer. |
|
|
| Computers can change your life for the better. |
