telephone number being used by an individual who was illegally entering Santa
Cruz Operations' computer and stealing information.
On May 28, 1987, a telephone number was identified five separate times making
illegal entry into Santa Cruz Operations' computer. The originating telephone
number was 805-PRE-SUFF, which is listed to Jane Doe, 8731 W. Cresthill Drive,
Apt. 404, Thousand Oaks, California.
On June 3, 1987, a search warrant was served at 8731 W. Cresthill Drive, Apt
404, Thousand Oaks, California. The residents of the apartment, who were not
at home, were identified as Jane Doe, a programmer for General Telephone, and
Kevin Hacker, a known computer hacker. Found inside the apartment were three
computers, numerous floppy disks and a number of General Telephone computer
manuals.
Kevin Hacker was arrested several years ago for hacking Pacific Bell, UCLA and
Hughes Aircraft Company computers. Hacker was a minor at the time of his
arrest. Kevin Hacker was recently arrested for compromising the data base of
Santa Cruz Operations.
The floppy disks that were seized pursuant to the search warrant revealed
Mitnick's involvment in compromising the Pacific Bell UNIX operation systems
and other data bases. The disks documented the following:
o Hacker's compromise of all Southern California SCC/ESAC computers. On
file were the names, log-ins, passwords, and home telephone numbers for
Northern and Southern ESAC employees.
o The dial-up numbers and circuit identification documents for SCC computers
and Data Kits.
o The commands for testing and seizing trunk testing lines and channels.
o The commands and log-ins for COSMOS wire centers for Northern and Southern
California.
o The commands for line monitoring and the seizure of dial tone.
o References to the impersonation of Southern California Security Agents and
ESAC employees to obtain information.
o The commands for placing terminating and originating traps.
o The addresses of Pacific Bell locations and the Electronic Door Lock
access codes for the following Southern California central offices ELSG12,
LSAN06, LSAN12, LSAN15, LSAN23, LSAN56, AVLN11, HLWD01, HWTH01, IGWD01,
LOMT11, AND SNPD01.
o Inter-company Electronic Mail detailing new login/password procedures and
safeguards.
o The work sheet of an UNIX encryption reader hacker file. If successful,
this program could break into any UNIX system at will.

Case No. 86-883
---------------
On November 14, 1986, Electronic Operations received a search warrant directing
Pacific Bell to trap calls being made to the Stanford University computer. The
Stanford Computer was being illegally accessed and was then being used to
access other large computer systems throughout the country.
The calls to the Stanford Computer were routed through several different common
carriers and through numerous states. Through a combination of traps, traces
and sifting through information posted on the Stanford computer, several
suspects were identified throughout the United States.
The group of computer hackers who illegally accessed the Stanford computer
system were known as "The Legion of Doom." Subsequent investigation indicated
that the Legion of Doom was responsible for:
o The use of Stanford University high-speed mainframes to attack and hack
ESAC/SCC mini compuuters with an UNIX password hacker file. Password
files were then stored on the Stanford systems for other members of the
Legion of Doom to use. Login and passwords for every local exchange
carrier as well as AT&T SCC/ESAC mini computers were on file.
o The Legion of Doom used the Stanford computers to enter and attack other
institutions and private contractors' computers. Some of the contractors'
computers were used for national defense research.
On July 21, 1987, eight search warrants were served in three states at homes
where members of the Legion of Doom reside. Three of the searches were
conducted in California. Steve Dougherty, Senior Investigator-Electronic
Operations, accompanied Secret Service agents at the service of a search
warrant at 2605 Trousdale Drive, Burlingame, California, which was the
residence of Stan QUEST, a sixteen-year-old member of the Legion of Doom.
(Correction - Oryan QUEST has never been a member of the Legion Of Doom. -KL)
Dougherty interviewed QUEST, who had used the pseudonym "O'Ryan Quest," (Oryan
QUEST) when accessing computers. During the interview, QUEST admitted the
following:
o The entering of central offices, (Burlingame, San Mateo, San Bruno,
Millbrae) disguised as a Federal Express deliveryman. The entries were
done to case out the CO's for the purpose of finding computer terminals
with telephones, the locations of switches and bays, the names of
Comtechs, and materials related to the operations of the central office.
QUEST also claimed to have been in the AT&T Administration office on
