On The Edge Of Forever November 4, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings and welcome to Phrack World News Issue XXI! As most of you have
realized, Taran King and I are back to stay and the tradition of Phrack Inc.
lives on. November 17, 1988 marks the Three Year Anniversary of Phrack Inc.
and we have never been prouder of our efforts to bring you the best magazine
possible.
However, we can not do it alone. Both Taran King and I have been reduced to
completely legal status and can not afford the luxury of calling bulletin
boards or contacting all the people we would like too.
Epsilon has been helping us a lot by acting as the collection agency for many
of the files for Phrack and several news articles as well. Please, if you have
a file for Phrack Inc. or an article for PWN contact him or leave mail for The
Mentor. And speaking of The Mentor, The Phoenix Project has a new number;
(512) 441-3088. Be sure to give it a call.
The article about Pacific Bell in this issue may contain some information that
has been seen before. Regardless of that, PWN is a place where such
information can be indexed for later reference and helps keep important events
and happenings in a certain continuity which is beneficial to everyone.
This issue of Phrack features the Second Special Presentation of Phrack World
News, which contains the abridged edition of the WGN Radio Show that dealt with
computer hackers and features John Maxfield.
With regard to the file about Teleconnect Long Distance. Hatchet Molly says
that now Teleconnect "flags" suspect bulletin boards and if a Teleconnect
calling card is used to call one, the card number is cancelled and a new card
is mailed to the customer within three days. What a wonderful company policy
that is.
For the months ahead, I am working on a file about hackers abroad, mostly
focusing on the Chaos Computer Club, which I have begun to have strong
relations with, and some other hacker instances in Europe and other parts of
the world.
Scheduled for January/February is a file series on the Wide Area Networks;
Bitnet and quite possibly ARPAnet, MILInet, NSFnet, IBM's VNET, CCnet, UUCP,
CSnet, SPAN, JANet, JUNet, and the list goes on. The main emphasis will be on
Bitnet though with secondary emphasis on UUCP and the other networks.
Hope you enjoy this issue and remember... "The Future Is Forever"

The following information originally appeared in WORM Newsletter, a publication
produced and distributed by Sir Francis Drake. The series of memos presented
here are shown to enable the members of today's hacking community to fully
understand the forces at work that seek to bring them down. The memo(s) have
been edited for this presentation. -KL

Subject: Unauthorized Remote Computer Access
San Francisco, July 29, 1987
Case Nos.: 86-883, 87-497
T. M. CASSANI, Director-Electronic Operations:
Electronic Operations recently investigated two cases involving a number of
sophisticated hackers who were adept at illegally compromising public and
private sector computers. Included among the victims of these hackers was
Pacific Bell, as well as other local exchange carriers and long distance
providers.
Below is a synopsis of the two cases (87-497 and 86-883), each of which
demonstrate weaknesses in Pacific Bell's remote access dial-up systems.

Case No. 87-497
---------------
On May 14, 1987, Electronic Operations received a court order directing Pacific
Bell to place traps on the telephone numbers assigned to a company known as
"Santa Cruz Operations." The court order was issued in order to identify the
