**************************************************** hAk/d phile #22 So you want to get into a system and learn to hack? **************************************************** Whenever you look at a bbs message base concerning hacking, people are always asking where they can obtain an account or how to hack. Well, I have a surefire method which will provide you with some of the most interesting types of accounts and some info on what you can do with them. Let us first address the problem of accounts. Most hackers are jealous of there conquests because a person with no knowledge tends to reveal themselves to a system administrator by making stupid mistakes like using the rm command too much or something of the sort. But how can you learn how to hack unless you have some systems to play with? Well, some people like to scan for systems and then brute force their way in with such novel concept as trying (on a unix system for example) account root/passwd root....well, you will not have much luck this way (good luck if you want to try the rest of those system default accounts like sync (w0w), etc.). You could get on a public access unix (w0w, they really want to fucking around with their system and who wants to pay for this shit) or get a school account; however, neither of these systems allow you to explore too much and you do not want to hack from your real account. My solution is simple and requires only a bit of nerve. There is a great source of accounts known as the telephone company and the owners of these accounts are not of the highest intellect. They need script files to access all of their wonderful systems, and these script files are graciously stored on their personal computers. You might wonder how you can get to their computers? Well, you have to go into their buildings and copy these script files for yourself. A lot of Southwestern bell switching/business offices use simplex locks to lock their doors (some forget to actually lock their doors...some security huh?). Now you might ask, isn't this illegal? The answer is yes (and I do not advocate you going into their buildings, of course) but if you really want those neat accounts you might consider it. I'm not saying that you would actually have to steal anything from their offices, just copy their script files (bring disks with you for this). Anyway though not the simplest of methods for obtaining accounts, it does work very well and can provide you with the types of accounts you only hear of. For example: microlink ][: a network of phone company machines like internet or telenet. The systems mainly run unix, and the security is weak. The systems seem to be databases of information (like how to use fone company stuff (on-line manuals!!!!)) or general e-mailing systems for administrative purposes. lmoss: a really neat system that is used to inspect the working of the fone lines. There is not much data about using these systems available and if you could find any, please send it to me at the systems listed at the end of this document. cosmos: the biggie. If you can get any live accounts on these systems, most experienced hackers would probably like to use them...very good if you want to trade info. other systems depending on who the persons computer you are copying the script files from. The script files are for telix, but you can just type them and get the fone numbers for the system, the accounts, and the passwords...or you can run telix like those big boys do (even get a free copy from the fone company...w0w!). Well, now that you have these neato-keen systems, how do you use them? Well, since you are already inside of the building you might as well see what kind of manuals you can borrow from them. The switching rooms seem to have the best manuals in them...like cosmos guides and the like. Also, you can pick up neat things like an official fone company jacket or hat. Anyway, be creative and have fun. This file is for information purposes only and does not mean to incite people to enter fone company property and take their stuff. I do not endorse the hypothetical criminal actions mentioned in this file. I am not responsible for any actions of any individual who reads this file and acts upon the contents thereof nor is the baby mine...I have never seen this woman and never had sex with her. m.c. allah sysop: fARM R0Ad 666 (713)855-0261 cau : 0b/GYN : hAk/d
