|

|
|
||
|
In reply to Swift Griggs ranting about my stupidity,
|
||
|
(and disrespekt i recieved from the rest of the AOL community)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Swift: the 'problem' in IP_MASQ which I reported was not meant
|
||
|
to be considered a security problem, rather a notification
|
||
|
of a potential problem, or at least this is what i was told.
|
||
|
|
||
|
i stole this 'problem' from a evil hacker who works for the NSA.
|
||
|
at the time, if i had been aware that the info i ripped from him
|
||
|
was totally false, i would have said so in the letter.
|
||
|
and believe me, if [named_removed] was awake more than 5 minutes
|
||
|
a day i would be severely anal at him for informing me of
|
||
|
this false intelligence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
the main thing the hacker/phracker/aol community needs to
|
||
|
learn from this event is that when giving information to be
|
||
|
ripped, it should be correct. next time ill make sure
|
||
|
to reword the context i have pasted with GPM properly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
btw, i must apologize for the tabs in this letter, pico
|
||
|
has proven difficult to use.
|
||
|
|
||
|
i must go, i have to pry this gerbil off my flacid cock.
|
||
|
|
||
|
thanks, and keep hackin!

[ P51-02@0x2c: I have a question regarding a certain piece of hardware... ]
|

|
|
||
|
It's a barcode scanner used at some terminals, such as public libraries. You
|
||
|
plug it in between the keyboard and the computer, and when you want to scan in
|
||
|
a barcode from a book being checked out or an item being purchased, you push
|
||
|
the button on the SCANNER and it outputs the barcode in ASCII numeric just as
|
||
|
if it had been typed in from the keyboard. So, now ya know.

|
||
|
|
||
|
Actually, your mystery device sounds more like the "box" that connects between
|
||
|
the keyboard and a barcode scanner. The "SCANNER" connector is where you'd
|
||
|
plug in a typical "wand" or "gun" barcode reader. Not much you can do with it
|
||
|
by itself, IMO. Again, it might be something else, but that's what it sounds
|
||
|
like to me.

What this sounds like is the interface from one of the wand or
|
||
|
lightgun-type laser barcode readers. These can be seen in action at
|
||
|
some of the retail outlets around here for reading barcodes from
|
||
|
clothing price tags or whatnot. One of those useful inventions that
|
||
|
came out of turning 386's into POS terminals.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It's probably useless without the accompaning wand, but you might keep
|
||
|
it around and try to find the missing part.

[ P50-03: Portable BBS Hacking by: Khelbin ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Dear Phrack,
|
||
|
|
||
|
An old article of mine entitled "Portable BBS Hacking" appeared in Phrack
|
||
|
issue 50 under the line noise section. In Phrack 51, a reader expressed that
|
||
|
he/she was frustrated at not being able to apply the techniques that were
|
||
|
described in my article. Please publish this response in Phrack 52
|
||
|
|
||
|
Let me state right off the bat that "Portable BBS Hacking" was not
|
||
|
written to specifically expose any one software-specific problem. Instead,
|
||
|
the article introduced a potential security threat to all BBS software so that
|
||
|
SysOps around the globe could check for such vulnerabilities and correct the
|
||
|
problem if it was present. A 'mock' Renegade setup was used just because some
|
||
|
software had to be used in order to explain the theory behind the attack.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Now to address the frustrated reader who is obviously aspiring to become
|
||
|
an ever-so-elite BBS-h4x0r! While I often enjoy toking on a crack pipe, this
|
||
|
method was tested prior to writing this article. It was tested on Renegade
|
||
|
04-x quite some time ago (as the article had been written some time ago, but
|
||
|
never published). I currently run FreeBSD 2.2.2, so I havn't been able to do
|
||
|
any more testing to help you hack BBS' and become ph33red. *BUT*, I am sure
|
||
|
that versions of THD ProScan (a utility to scan uploaded files for viruses and
|
||
|
other problems) will foil this attack. I am also sure (just by what I remember
|
||
|
of how Renegade works) that If you follow the steps that I gave you in Phrack
|
||
|
50 correctly, upload a file, and then the SysOp were to (X)tract files from
|
||
|
that file into \temp that it would work. I am also sure that there are other
|
||
|
packages out there other than THD ProScan that do the same thing, but not in a
|
||
|
secure fashion. The methods described in "Portable BBS Hacking" will also work
|
||
|
with these packages. I hope you weren't just having Renegade check the file
|
||
|
integrity with pkunzip -t or just view the contents of the zipfile. Your
|
||
|
response wasn't very specific so it's hard for me to be specific in this
|
||
|
reply however, I can tell that you also enjoy an occasional joint of
|
||
|
crack, so feel free to contact me sometime and we'll smoke!
|
||
|

||

Phrack is the best magazine of its kind I've ever seen !!! Maybe you could
|
||
|
write something about tapping telephone wires in order to record data and
|
||
|
fax on a portable tape recorder. I've read an article from Damnation that
|
||
|
was pretty good, but maybe you could give me, and the other readers of
|
||
|
course, some additional information. I'm also interested in hacking the
|
||
|
E-mail server of my ISP in order to read my teacher's mail, so what kind of
|
||
|
program do I need to do this ? I know his login but I don't know his
|
||
|
password. I've got a terminal program called Dialog that doesn't seem to
|
||
|
be very useful, but maybe you know a better one ?!? Now, my last question:
|
||
|
I'm using CuteFTP to log on to my homepage's folder . One day I've found
|
||
|
some write protected folders and files, so my question is how do I get
|
||
|
access to these files and how do I go to other folders to which I'm not
|
||
|
allowed to go (hidden,write-protected, etc.) ?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Thank you very much in advance !

One thing I'd like to add for Phrack's Japanese audience is that they are
|
||
|
the odd balls when it comes to signaling data links. While signaling data
|
||
|
links are 56kbps in North America and 64kbps virutally everywhere else,
|
||
|
Japan uses 4.8kbps links. Actually I guess we, in North America, are
|
||
|
also a little odd at 56kbps but at least it's closer to the norm. :)

Day in the Life of a Teenage

Hacker:
|

|
||
|
Story of My Current Non-Life
|
||
|
|
||
|
By:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Demonhawk
|
||
|
|
||
|
I wake up, staring at the ceiling for ten minutes before my mother
|
||
|
finally walks in and says, "Time to get up!" I stand and dress myself. Wearing
|
||
|
the only thing that I can think of that I like, blue jeans and just whatever
|
||
|
shirt looks best at the time.
|
||
|
I go and comb my hair (walking to my mom's end of the trailer house to
|
||
|
use that bathroom because mine doesn't have a mirror, nor a sink, nor more
|
||
|
than 10x10 feet of space). I walk back to my room and get my books ready for
|
||
|
school. The block schedual makes my backpack EXCRUTIATINGLY heavy on B days
|
||
|
while on A days it is light as a feather.
|
||
|
I lay down-most of the time-and go back to sleep. Others I turn my
|
||
|
computer's monitor on and type something for a while (my mom says it is bad to
|
||
|
leave your computer on all night, WRONG! Little does she fuckin' know it is
|
||
|
better to leave it on!). It is time to go to school and my mom drives me to t
|
||
|
he middle school (Connally Middle School) where I go in and play on the
|
||
|
computer suntil school starts (get there 30 mins early).
|
||
|
I go to my first class, still groggy from the little rest I had the
|
||
|
night before while I lay awake in my bed pondering what I could do to the
|
||
|
school's computer system. The recenlty installed network (Novell) was
|
||
|
supposedly student proof (little do they know). I have the software and I
|
||
|
could hack it easy. Crack the passwords that the teachers think they are so
|
||
|
smart to have one that a student can't guess.
|
||
|
I think about the consequences of hacking 'em, then realize that it
|
||
|
would be stupid to hack 'em, after all, I am the only one smart enough on the
|
||
|
computers to hack em. I can crack Windows passwords (easy) with a boot disk
|
||
|
(or even booting into dos).
|
||
|
Last year, I will remember angrily, I remember how I got a bum wrap
|
||
|
for crashing a teacher's computer. I was on it then absent for a week and then
|
||
|
come back to find out all fingers were being pointed at me. I got kicked off
|
||
|
the annual "good kid's" Six Flag trip and that REALLY pissed me off.
|
||
|
Then, as the first period teacher begins to yell something like "Get
|
||
|
to work!" (I am in shop first period) I wake up and realize I had been
|
||
|
thinking. Most of the period I will talk to my friends about hacking (the
|
||
|
two-maybe three-friends I have in that class) and they will ask me computer
|
||
|
questions and I will answer them (and if I don't know an answer I will make
|
||
|
one up, after all, they have no idea how to use a computer to its full
|
||
|
limitations).
|
||
|
After a few more minutes of thinking I realize a virus will be the way
|
||
|
to go. The only problem is putting it on the computer. How? Well, maybe if I
|
||
|
can get access to a teacher's computer while she/he is out of the room. Yeah,
|
||
|
that would be the only way. But the witnesses (who am I kidding the kids up
|
||
|
there would LOVE to see the computers crash, in fact, I have been offered
|
||
|
$$$MONEY$$$ to crash em). I think about the virus idea for a moment. Yeah,
|
||
|
that is the way to do it. First period is over. I move to my second class. It
|
||
|
is a no brainer (on both of the days) and I have a lot of time to plot out my
|
||
|
plan. Trojan Horse. Yes, or maybe Darth Vader...as a calling card. Yeah, that
|
||
|
would be the way to go. The Trojan Horse virus followed up by the Darth Vader
|
||
|
virus. Yes. Well,
|
||
|
I have one of those two. Now lets think here. How to gain access to the
|
||
|
computer at school. The teacher looks at me and tells me to "get to work!"
|
||
|
and I look at him/her and reply, "But I am already finished!" and they leave
|
||
|
me alone. But, maybe I should wait until I am in High School (when the entire
|
||
|
district will have the internet) and I could port in and leave the virus.
|
||
|
Yeah, that would work, I couldn't be blamed since I wouldn't go to the Middle
|
||
|
School any longer. That is a possibility.
|
||
|
I cheat at my math for a while (copying the back of the book for some
|
||
|
easy answers) not because I am dumb, hell no, I am in Algebra I in the 8th
|
||
|
grade for Christ's sake! No, I am just lazy, except when it comes to the
|
||
|
computers. Second period is over.
|
||
|
I walk to my third class of the day, an hour till lunch when I get to
|
||
|
talk to my ENTIRE 5 friends at one time (there are some almost friends in this
|
||
|
group, people I get along with and, yes, on occasion like to hang around with).
|
||
|
You see, I am a "nerd" and proud to be one! Now, this is the thing. I am not
|
||
|
just ANY nerd, I am a nerd with RED hair and fairly THICK glasses with THICK
|
||
|
frames (I want contact lenses that have mirrored silver on the outside but I
|
||
|
am not allowed to have them for some fucking unknown reason).
|
||
|
I do my work, hoping that lunch will come, and eventually it does. I
|
||
|
walk down the halls meeting a friend or two along the way, getting pushed by
|
||
|
hicks that don't think computers are "cool". (Just as something that made
|
||
|
people think I did a speech in Drama class on how computers are gonna crash in
|
||
|
2000 because of the Millenium Bug. One kid almost pissed in his pants when I
|
||
|
told them safty systems on Nuclear power plants might go offline and how that
|
||
|
all cars with electronic timers that shut down until an inspection won't run.
|
||
|
Plus power might go out, I think that made them appreciate computer freaks
|
||
|
like you and me just a LITTLE more since WE are the only ones that can save
|
||
|
them from that hideous fate!!)
|
||
|
I am laughed at because I run and internet Star Wars club (The
|
||
|
Conflict at www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/9875 ). But they don't laugh when I
|
||
|
tell them I can hack into the school's computers. They look at me dumbfounded
|
||
|
and then make some smart ass remark. I look at them for a second and walk away,
|
||
|
I know they don't understand how much of a computer GENIUS I am. Well, to tell
|
||
|
the truth I am NOT really a computer GENIUS. Well, in some ways I am. I mean I
|
||
|
CRAVE knowledge like I CRAVE food when I am hungry and water when I am thirsty.
|
||
|
I can't get enough computer knowledge, I ALWAYS need more (currently I
|
||
|
am learning C, C++ JAVA, JAVAScript, Visual Basic, and QBasic <----I forgot
|
||
|
most of what I used to know on that one)
|
||
|
I eat my lunch (usually Nachos but sometimes Lays potato chips and an
|
||
|
ice cream) and then go outside where I get an RC Cola. The bell rings and we
|
||
|
are all herded back inside the main building where we suffer out the rest of
|
||
|
the day.
|
||
|
I make it past the rest of 3rd with no problem. Then comes fourth. It
|
||
|
is a little nerve racking to sit there while time slowly slips by, waiting for
|
||
|
that bell to ring so that you can be set free of this hellish place.
|
||
|
The bell rings and I leave the school, heading outside where the buses
|
||
|
load. Mine is the last and after an hour or waiting it arrives (thank GOD I am
|
||
|
the first one off) and I go inside my nice, cool house. I turn my computer on
|
||
|
(if it is off) and begin my homework (I lie about having homework so that I
|
||
|
can play on the computer without being touched by my mother). I wash the
|
||
|
dishes and water the dogs. Then I sit down and play on the computer a little
|
||
|
bit.
|
||
|
I get on the internet a little while later. I learn a LITTLE more
|
||
|
hacking and play some games over the internet (ain't technology wonderful???).
|
||
|
I am far from being an 31337 hacker, but I am doing some good a little. I am
|
||
|
basically a newbie but I can still hack Novell (childs play).
|
||
|
After a while of this I take a shower and lie down in bed, dreading
|
||
|
the next day (unless, of course, it is a weekend).
|
||
|
|
||
|
And that, is my Non-Life.

Dear sir,
|
||
|
First off, i think phrack is a wonderful publication, the best of its
|
||
|
kind and better than most, if not all, of the computer related
|
||
|
commercial publications. You and your staff are doing a great job and
|
||
|
please keep up the excellent work :)
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ So, we're better then 2600. Thanks! *That's* the validation we needed! ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
That said, i have a request. I'm writing a paper on the hacking
|
||
|
subculture and such a project would be, to say the least, severely
|
||
|
lacking without the inclusion of groups like Phrack Inc., 10pht, and
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Phrack is not incorporated. And you mean `l0pht`. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
r00t. So i would greatly appreciate it if you could fit it into your
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ You are already severely lacking. You failed to mention the guild. You
|
||
|
even forgot b0w. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
doubtless busy schedule to send me a history of Phrack. It can be as
|
||
|
brief or as in-depth as youd like. From just the date of creation and
|
||
|
pivotal events in Phrack history to a summary of every passing member's
|
||
|
contributions to the publication.. anything you can send will be an
|
||
|
asset to me. Also, if you or any of your staff members would be so
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ I'll get some of my interns right on that. Alhambra! Get to it! ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
gracious and godly-wonderful as to answer the few questions below that
|
||
|
would also be greatly, GREATLY appreciated.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Q: What is your most commonly used handle and why did you choose it?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ `route`. Cos I thoroughly route my foes. And also cos I route through all
|
||
|
my girlfriends' purses when they are in the bathroom. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Q: What is your position at Phrack?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ I AM PHRACK. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Q: When did you realize you were a hacker(or phreaker, cracker,
|
||
|
whatever applies to you)?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ It is something you are born with. It is not something you learn. There
|
||
|
is no single moment of realization. It is something you just `are`. It
|
||
|
is this unexplicable and inexorable pursuit of knowledge. To learn. To
|
||
|
break. To fix. To push. To optimize. To learn. To hack. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Q: What do you think hacking is Really about?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Oh c'mon man. Chicks and Money. That's what it ALL boils down to. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Q: How do you think the 'scene' has changed, and where would you like
|
||
|
to see it go?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ See P48-02a ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Q: If you could say anything to the community at large about hacking,
|
||
|
what would it be?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Um. Most of what you people consider hacking is simply a justification or
|
||
|
shield for doing illegal acts. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
One last thing, do you know where(email, www address, whatever) i
|
||
|
could contact current or former members of 10pht, r00t, or any real
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Um. Let's see. http://www.l0pht.com. http://www.r00t.org. And so on.
|
||
|
You're not a very smart person. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
group (ie: not one of the lame new groups trying, unsuccessfully, to
|
||
|
copy the greatness of the older groups)?
|
||
|
Any response, including negation so i can search elsewhere, would be
|
||
|
greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hi Phrack-editors,
|
||
|
|
||
|
I'm looking for a good and experienced hacker to hack a German site.
|
||
|
There is enough money involved to satisfy you.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ My price is quite high. Actually, fuck it. I don't want money. Give me
|
||
|
flesh and fame. Get me some elite movie role where I am the hero and Milla
|
||
|
Jovovich is my love interest. Then we'll talk. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
I will give your more information with further correspondence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please let me know soon if you are interested, (just reply to this
|
||
|
usa.net address), thank you,

I recently read about the ancient ftp bounce attack. I have tried it and
|
||
|
it works on versions of ftp that are lower than wu-2.4.2. Here's what I
|
||
|
do.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Receiving Machine no system req's except write access]
|
||
|
TYPE I
|
||
|
PASV (Give's IP then port)
|
||
|
STOR
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Sender Machine w/ver 2.4 or lower]
|
||
|
TYPE I
|
||
|
PORT <reciever's IP and port that was shown in the PASV command's output>
|
||
|
RETR <filename>
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Receiving Machine]
|
||
|
Binary Mode Transfer Started
|
||
|
|
||
|
It then goes on to get the file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
But...
|
||
|
|
||
|
If it is a wu-2.4.2 ver computer, the sender machine says Illegal PORT
|
||
|
Command, when you type the IP and port of the receiving computer. You can
|
||
|
only do a PORT command that includes the IP address that I am coming from.
|
||
|
Sorry to say I don't know how to do any kind of source route or IP
|
||
|
spoofing, although I'd be interested to hear if this was the only answer,
|
||
|
and am not sure if there is a way to get around this.

Hello there :)
|
||
|
Probably u don't know who I am ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Definitely. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
well, I'm an italian boy and I wish to say ya one thing ...
|
||
|
You're Great.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Oh. C'mon now... Really? ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
I've just start to reading Phrack (the last issues) and I guess that it's
|
||
|
a very cool wonderful zine.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Get out. You think so? ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Why am I tell ya this ??
|
||
|
Well, since I think that one person is as ya ... well he's great.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Now stop that. I'm really getting embarassed. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
I'm trying to learn something from ya (and I shall overcome .... I hope :) )
|
||
|
I'm interesting in hacking .. but I'm not like some other ppl that always ask
|
||
|
"How can I be an hacker ??" "where I can find something to became root"
|
||
|
I guess that they haven't understood nothing
|
||
|
The REAL HACKER (for me) is an expert, has an etic and he hack to learn
|
||
|
The knowledge is one of the thing most important in the world (the other ones
|
||
|
are the GIRLS =) )
|
||
|
So I won't ask ya how to be an hacker ... (even cause you'll propbably say me
|
||
|
FUCK YOU ;) )
|
||
|
we're so far but maybe one day we could meet :) to share our knowledge
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Wait a minute. Are you coming on to me? ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Well, Thanx a lot and excuse me for all the time you spent to read this letter
|
||
|
Excuse me also for my terrible english
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ NP. Luckily Aleph1 was over, so he translated for me (`course, then I
|
||
|
needed someone to translate that, too). ]
|
||
|
|

Cool and great stuff has Phrack =)
|
||
|
|

Hi, i noticed that you fixed up your web page, and thats nice, but my
|
||

probelm is, that when i downloaded the phrack 51 issue, it came like this :
|
||
|
" phrack51.tar.gz " so,....what kind of program do i use to open it?
|
||
|
Can you just put all issues in zip format? That would help us all!
|
||
|
|

[ 'Us all'? You are of course refering to the entire moron population.

Phrack does not cater to the morons of the world, sorry. Try 2600. I hear

Hi,
|
||
|
|
||
|
I sent you an email a while back asking you to forward a message to
|
||
|
an author of one of your articles, since he wanted to remain anonymous.
|
||
|
However I never got any reaction either from the author or from you.
|
||
|
It's really important for me that I find him to discuss some
|
||
|
techicalities.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The article was; "How to make your own telecards"
|
||
|
Volume Seven, Issue Forty-Eight, File 10 (and 11) of 18
|
||
|
|
||
|
Did you manage to send the email off to him successfully?
|
||
|
|
||
|
All I want is for him to contact me on this address (raven@swipnet.se).
|
||
|
If he wants to remain anonymous he could easily create an email account
|
||
|
on www.hotmail.com or another service of that kind.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It would be very nice of you to forward this email to the author of
|
||
|
the article and reply to me wether it was sent successfully or if it
|
||
|
bounced back.

Just wondered why everyone raves about PGP, even thogh it's breakable.

[ What the hell are you talking about? ]
|

|
|

|
Is it possible to by-pass 'Proxy blocks' on an internet connection? The local
|
||
|
iNet connection has blocks on all hack/warez sites whereby when you try and
|
||
|
access them you get a 'You're trying to access a filtered URL' message. I
|
||
|
figured it would be possible to re-route the conneciton but haven't a clue
|
||
|
how.
|
||
|
|

[ Shure. Try some covert tunneling via IP fragmentation or IP-IP. ]

Also, how do you find out all this stuff about tapping phones, cell-net
|

busting and telephone, errr, dabbling?? Do you research it yourself or just

accumulate it form others?

Hi,
|
||
|
I've been reading a-lot of phrack zines lately and seeing your name
|
||
|
in most of them, I thought your the best to answer my questions ???
|
||
|
|
||
|
To become a hacker where do I start ?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ New Zealand. Or at least as far away from CA as possible. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
What books should I read ?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Anything by Stevens/Knuth or any of the millions of smarter-then-you people
|
||
|
out there. It's a safe bet that, if they wrote a book, they're smarter then
|
||
|
you. Very safe bet. Like, Fort Knox safe. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
What languages do I have to learn ?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ English is a good start. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Which sites are the best to go to for information on hacking
|
||
|
(including newsgroups) ?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Anything in the alt.* hierarchy is a good plan. It's ALL *choice*
|
||
|
material. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
I've only started hacking and that's into applications on my
|
||
|
computer and my friends computers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ That's nice. ]
|
||
|
|

I hope I'm not bothering you with this message.

Dear Phrack,

I'm looking for a phreak to work in France and I couldn't find such

informations on the Net; so, is there any chance that blue box may work in

Hello!
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sorry for borring you, but I've some problems with L2 on FreeBSD-2.2.1R
|
||
|
and decide to ask you about some tech details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The problem is that 'loki' unable to receive ICMP_ECHO packets from
|
||
|
'lokid'. I dig through kernel netinet sources and AFAIK, there is no way
|
||
|
to pass ICMP_ECHO packets to userland. In ip_icmp.c we have:
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
ICMP_ECHO->icmp_input()->icmp_reflect()->ICMP_ECHO_REPLY->icmp_send()->net
|
||
|
|
||
|
So, there is no chance to receive ICMP_ECHO in application program, isn't
|
||
|
it?! Unfortunately, I've no access to Linux box, so I can see what's
|
||
|
hapen there.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ You are correct. In the accopmanying paper I allude to this problem. Net/3
|
||
|
based stacks will not pass ICMP request packets to userland. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Is there are any workarounds? I can patch my kernel, but I think this is
|
||
|
not right way. What do you think about this?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Running the client and daemon on Net/3 boxes is a problem. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
p.s. The idea of patch is simple - create copy of packet's mbuf via
|
||
|
m_copy(), send it to rip_output() and only after that pass original packet
|
||
|
to icmp_reflect().
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Cool! Write the patch up and I'll publish it in a future issue. ]
|
||
|
|
||

I'm trying to reach all the real hackers and phreaks (not stupid warez
|

|
lamers) in the 601 area code, especially those around Lauderdale county,
|
||
|
so I figured Phrack would be a good place to start.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A few friends and I are gonna be starting some get-togethers at the new
|
||
|
Bonita Lakes Mall in Meridian when it opens up later this October
|

|
(probably long past by the time the issue of Phrack this will be in

All fellow readers interested in reviving the HP scene in the East
|

Mississippi-West Alabama area are welcome to come (reviving assumes that
|

there was ever a scene here in the first place. We're quite boring

After reading Phrack for years and being in the computer industry for
|
||
|
18+ years, I thought it was time that I write in. I have been reading Phrack
|
||
|
for about 6 years now. Even talked to Erik Bloodaxe a few times in
|
||
|
regards to Banyan Vines a couple of years ago when I was in the military.
|
||
|
The scene seems to have changed so much now. It used to be full
|
||
|
disclosure for the most part. Now everyone is so paranoid of sharing what
|
||
|
they know, since everyone will rush a patch out for the latest exploit.
|
||
|
How do you think others learned? Hacking is and always will be about
|
||
|
exploring the limits of systems and networks. As you learn and share,
|
||
|
others can expand their knowledge base. I started back on Atari 400s
|
||
|
years ago coding in BASIC. I know many will laugh at that very thought,
|
||
|
but it was a start. The groups back then were very tight, but also
|
||
|
willing to help each other. If you showed a willingness to learn, and
|
||
|
took the time to learn, instead of just leeching, it was amazing what
|
||
|
others would do to help you.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I have been digging through tons of sites lately, most are outdated hacks
|
||
|
from what I have seen. Most places patch as fast something hits the `Net.
|
||
|
But at least you can learn from the code if you take the time. I want to
|
||
|
sends congrats out to Phrack. You guys along with a handful of others make it
|
||
|
a point to keep sending things out to us in the community. One of the
|
||
|
comments I am sure to hear is, then why don't you contribute things? I have
|
||
|
not to Phrack directly, but that will change soon. I don't have a lot that is
|
||
|
that great, that hasn't been patched for already. Mine is more tinkering and
|
||
|
learning. Anyway, I am sure I have rambled enough for now. Just thought I
|
||
|
would give my $.02 worth. Keep up the good work at Phrack!

I am looking for a REALLY good telenet software and an also REALLY good
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ I like the telnet software that comes with 4.4BSD. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
scanner software. Can you refer me anywhere?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Scanners was a terrifiing movie! Why would you want to scan someone?!@ ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
I also would like to know how you decode the password in the passwd
|
||
|
file.
|
||
|
For example it writes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
john: x :9999 :13: John Johnson:/home/dir/john:/bin/john
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ 'x' is a shadow password token. It cannot be decrypted. Futhermore:
|
||
|
Unix passwd encryption is based on a modified version of DES. The user
|
||
|
enters her login and password at the prompts. The user entered password is
|
||
|
used as a key to encrypt a 64-bit block of NULLs. The first seven bits of
|
||
|
each character are extracted to form a 56-bit key. (The other eight are
|
||
|
used for parity.) This implies that only eight characters are significant to
|
||
|
a password. The E-table is then modified using the salt, which is a 12-bit
|
||
|
value, coerced into the first two chars of the stored passwd. The salt's
|
||
|
purpose is to make precompiled passwd lists and DES hardware chips
|
||
|
ineffectual (or more difficult to use). Then, DES is invoked for 25
|
||
|
iterations on the block of zeros. The output is 64-bits long, and is then
|
||
|
coerced into a 64 character alphabet (0-9, A-Z, a-z, ".", "/"). This
|
||
|
involves translations in which several different values are represented by
|
||
|
the same character. Unix passwd crypts are the product of a one-way hash.
|
||
|
Information about the key is dropped in every iteration. Bits are LOST in
|
||
|
the process. crypt(3), therefore, CANNOT be decrypted, reversed, or
|
||
|
otherwise subverted from any type of scrutiny of it's output. ]

a story of adolencent revenge..by a not so adolencent at 3:37 am
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Be warned. This is long. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
So here i sit surrounded by an ashtray full of butts, empty beer cans, empty 2
|
||
|
liters, a giant pile of papers, a stack of cd's, dirty dishes, tangled cords,
|
||
|
red and green lights, the ticking of the furnace and blurred vision. Just got
|
||
|
back from the pool hall and pissed off. why? because an old friend is getting
|
||
|
married tomorrow and I was not invited. Well WAS a friend is more to the point.
|
||
|
Betrayal in any form is a great primer for hatred. I am a twenty something
|
||
|
(hate that fucking phrase) loser with no clue on what the future holds..but I
|
||
|
find pleasure in figurative masterbation with MY processor. Match wits with
|
||
|
this bitch, tell IT what to do and make it my slave...cheap thrill. Having
|
||
|
power over something or someone is great while it lasts..as long as you do not
|
||
|
have a concience. But I was wronged, so it is justified..my actions I mean...
|
||
|
right? My girlfriend is asleep upstairs and thinks I sit up a nights doddeling
|
||
|
to porn sights. I tell her that my pc is not working right, so that is why I am
|
||
|
always working on it...that fucker bill gates. If he was a smart as the world
|
||
|
beleives he is, these activities would not be so easy. Back to the point.
|
||
|
(sorry! had a few too many). So I sign on...search for allies, find them among
|
||
|
other assholes that have somehow learned one of my handles. My buddies are up
|
||
|
to some funny shit, not total anarchy, but funny none the less. So what do I
|
||
|
do...I tell them that I am in a bad state of being at the moment..they ask why,
|
||
|
"Time for pain!" is what I read. You know how it is. A friend since first
|
||
|
grade on through college just fucked you for the 100th time. I feel sick about
|
||
|
it, but none the less it's time to put to work the tricks of the trade. I give
|
||
|
my TRUE friends the skinny on my intentions, they ablige with laughter and
|
||
|
frothing mouths. I cough up his SS#, home, phone, bank, work, license, and
|
||
|
online accounts. Too late to turn back now. It's funny how one will actually
|
||
|
take the gas pipe for virtual strangers that one has formed an online bond
|
||
|
with, and will enlist them in a sceme to fuck a real time friend. (ex-friend).
|
||
|
Number one, divide up the tasks. Number two, failure is NOT an option. N!umber
|
||
|
three, ruin wedding. So here we go...secretary of state was a blow off, no
|
||
|
brainer. PhoneCo a bit tougher (but been there before). Bank..oh the bank..
|
||
|
online banking 24/7 was such a good idea. My collective cohorts and I were
|
||
|
like pitbulls fighting over the neighbors cat. Giggeling like schoolgirls. HEY
|
||
|
we are elite! or so we think..most of our shit (not all) was built by others
|
||
|
before us. We did modify code, but the backbone was not our own. Now it is
|
||
|
4:30 am and the shit is flying...after reading the "underground" being a
|
||
|
martyr seems cool. My head is spinning, but I have to remain focused at all
|
||
|
times..it is hard. Account activity...money is due to the banquet facility
|
||
|
tomorrow. At least the balance of the shindig after the initial deposit. Check
|
||
|
numbers and cleared transactions. He has no fucking clue! The best part was
|
||
|
that he had mentioned writing a check for his balance only one day before....
|
||
|
but the amount owed was not cleared yet on his account. So time to insert!
|
||
|
--0.00 balance. Too easy. OK, fine. Just a bounced check to deal with. Phones
|
||
|
turned off (schedualed termination for lack of response to notices sent). Oh
|
||
|
yeah..did I mention Utilities? Bank takes care of payment...how convenient.
|
||
|
Car payments, insurance, mortgage the whole nine. Zip, Zero, Zed. A repeater.
|
||
|
Constant (0.00). I am an asshole, I know, but being fucked by a 'FRIEND" is
|
||
|
troubeling and unforgivable in this situation. One more thing..Company Voice
|
||
|
mail...fucked. Left a text to speech recording to boss, too funny and
|
||
|
implicating to dillhole. It's like giving beavis and butthead a small piece of
|
||
|
gray matter that works for only bad things. I should of been invited to this
|
||
|
wedding, but never the less, he is marrying a whore. This may sound vindictive
|
||
|
or like sour grapes, but totally true. So actaully we are doing him a service,
|
||
|
he just does not know it. The "ruin the wedding" part is actually out. It will
|
||
|
happen and the avalanche of our actions will not start until the following
|
||
|
week. But at least i did something, right? What a stupid thing to concentrate
|
||
|
on. I am an idiot with things I should not have. Most of my collective friends
|
||
|
are striking political targets...I am bouncing a check. But I am over it now.
|
||
|
Time to sit back and wait...wait for the phone call from a mutual friend to
|
||
|
give me the dirt. I guess I am the type of guy that would get a boner if I
|
||
|
reset his sprinkler timer to go off when he is trying to get in his car.
|
||
|
Totally retarded, but I would laugh for days. Whats wrong with me? I am now
|
||
|
sitting here in my self-made dungeon scratching my head saying to myself "boy
|
||
|
that was way harsh". I know some people would pose the question, "what did he
|
||
|
do to desrve this type of retaliation?". You know what it's like, you have
|
||
|
been there at one time, and everyone reaches a point where counter measures
|
||
|
are warranted. Case closed. What we did was but an inconvenience, but will be
|
||
|
remedied. Nothing was left beyond repair. It's at these times! (no matter how
|
||
|
trivial) you find out who is willing to take a bullet for you. And in some
|
||
|
fucked up way, that is important. At least it is to me. it's 7:49 am and time
|
||
|
for the sandman.

I just wanted to ask you who owns "INN", if it is you, how did you pay for

Any chance of meeting somewhere to chat one day (IRC)?

Dear To whom it concearns,
|

|
|

I do not think you should have posted this about your bug you found.
|
||
|
Alot of maniacs got a hold of it and are crashing servers everywhere. The
|
||
|
net has turned into anarchy. I have about 4 servers down that i patched. But
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ The Internet is anarchistic by nature. ]
|
||

|
the patch doesnt seem to work.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ The patch works fine. Perhaps it is you that is broken? ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
I do not think you should have posted that publically like that.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Thanks. I'll make sure to file your opinion in the ignorance-folder. ]

To Whom It May Concern:
|
||
|
|
||
|
I enjoy reading your stuff in Phrack and I pay attention to those stuff
|
||
|
that is writen about unix reading stuff. I am just wonder if there is any way
|
||
|
to play tricks or hack linux 1.2.13. It also runs pine under it and I think
|
||
|
there is a trick with .rhosts in pine and ls /tmp. Could you please tell me
|
||
|
more stuff about this?? I could download the /etc/passwd file but then I have
|
||
|
to use a dictionary to hack it and is there away of hacking it without using a
|
||
|
dictionary?? And how do I delete my last login file?? Thanks!!

[ Linux 1.2.13 is one of most inpenetrable versions of Unix out there today.
|
||
|
Not only is the Linux O/S reknown for its stalwart and inpenetrable security
|
||
|
but the 1.2.13 kernel was where Alan, Eric, Linus and the rest of crew
|
||
|
peaked. That kernel revision is all-but immune to every known form of
|
||
|
attack (with the possible exeception of quantum state disassembly). Your

best bet is to kill yourself now. ]

How ye all doin there at Phrack, hope your all keepin well.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Anyways before I say anything I'll admit it, I'm a newbie, not a lamer a
|
||
|
newbie. I've read all the hacking files I can get my hands on. There's only
|
||
|
one small problem...I live in Ireland. A few weeks ago I was given an article
|
||
|
written by "Hackwind" (1992 I think) about the hacking scene in Ireland.
|
||
|
Believe you me. It's even worse than he says it is. The main problem is that
|
||
|
all the files written don't relate to Ireland in any way . I don't even know
|
||
|
ONE bbs in Ireland and NO ONE I have spoken to does either. I don't expect you
|
||
|
to know much about the hacking scene in Ireland but if you do know anything,
|
||
|
anything at all could you please send it to me. I'm dying for information.
|
||
|
Information that I can't get my hands on. If you don't know anything about it
|
||
|
perhaps you know of some contacts.
|
||
|
Please let me know. Cheers,

Daemon9,

Hi! I'd like to ask you a very common question. Maybe everyday you have
|
||
|
received mails asking it. Yes, what I want to know is how to become a great
|
||
|
hacker.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Swing from the shoulders, not from the arms. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
I am a freshman in university. I wanna to be a hacker, not for doing
|
||
|
damage to others, but in my own view, being hacker require a lot of
|
||
|
knowledge and creative. I aim at knowledge and want to find out new tech,
|
||
|
while not just using others'. In fact, I have read many articles about how
|
||
|
to become a hacker. And I have done them.
|
||
|
Now, I have mastered C, unix shell, and some of TCP/IP.
|
||
|
So what should I going to learn if I want to be a great hacker like you?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ If you have mastered the aforementioned topics, you are far greater then I. ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
I am learing socket programming and IP-spoofing now, do you have any resource
|
||
|
on the net to recommend to me?
|
||
|
Please write me back. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Hi, I forgot to ask you another question. Should I join a hacker group?
|
||
|
And have you joined it? If so, please tell me which group I should join.
|
||
|
And the mailing list, which one should a hacker join in your own view.
|
||
|
Hoping to hear from you soon!

Hey Route,
|
||
|
|
||
|
I was wondering if you knew what colours Nirva dyed his hair for
|
||
|
defcon and who made the dye, I was also wondering if you had a copy
|
||
|
of LISP lying around somewhere. Are you going to the KMFDM concert
|
||
|
this friday by any chance? I was wondering if you have ever been bust
|
||
|
for hacking or phreaking and how you manage to hack with the constant
|
||
|
surveillance by the man? Also if you don't mind telling me, how did
|
||
|
you get into hacking and did you have a mentor at any stage?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ciao and thankx

Hey Nirva,
|
||
|
|
||
|
I was wondering how you got Real Kitty to drink coke out of those
|
||
|
bottles from McDonalds (or is he just chewing on the straw). I was
|
||
|
also wondering who Mike is currently going out with, not to mention
|
||
|
you as well? If you could do me a favour and try to convince Mike to
|
||
|
give me some webspace as well, I would really appreciate it.

Thankx and Ciao

would like to, go on over to durex.com and there's a link from there

Arggh , think of me what you will, but i Can't get over a pic on yer
|
||
|
site of nirva, prolly one of the l33t3st looking individuals i've seen,
|
||
|
in personal appearance (no, i aint gay), but anyway .. what are those
|
||
|
things on his arms ? I saw that photo with the caption "nirva has
|
||
|
rickets" or something, but are they implants ? ie part of his
|
||
|
image/appearance or where they sum sort of weird disease he picked up ?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ Due to the vitaman-D embargo of 1975 - 1978 in New Mexico, nirva contracted
|
||
|
the rare disease osteomalacia (rickets). He has it mostly licked these
|
||
|
days thanks to heavy amounts of vitamn-D laced EMF radition treatment he
|
||
|
undergoes 2 times a week. Every now and then, however, he lapses, as you
|
||
|
can see from the aforementioned picture. ]
