He's Really Just Out Of Control PostCon'88
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I would SHRED everything, because
we get so much information
out of the dumpster,
it's UNREAL..."
-- Control C
Over the last few months there has been a lot of controversy about the
mysterious cricumstances regarding Michigan Bell and Control C. To set the
record straight, ^C gave me the full details of what happened so I could pass
it on to you.
Just prior to leaving Chicago, where ^C had been going to school, he had
illegally accessed an AOL system belonging to Michigan Bell. The system
operator broke in on him and ^C tried unsuccessfully to pass himself off as a
legitimate user. When this did not work, he hung up and did not give it a
second thought. Upon returning home to Detroit, he had a message waiting for
him to contact the sysop of the AOL system. He calling him and they,
accompanied by Michigan Bell security, went out to lunch. To avoid being
prosecuted, Control C had to give up all of the information he had on that
system and explain how he had gotten in. Since he had cooperated, they let him
go without further hassle. Unfortunately, Control C was soon busted again for
breaking into his Central Office, but this time he was not going to get off so
easily. He had to agree to making a talk show movie and a poster (quoted in
the beginning of the article) for Michigan Bell. Both of these items have been
distributed across the country to better illustrate the hacker mind-set and as
a reminder to destroy important documents that were being thrown away.
While being interrogated by Michigan Bell security department, Control C was
shown a list of recently busted hackers from the July 21, 1987 sweep of the
country. On this list was Sir Francis Drake, which is how the rumor about SFD
being busted last year got started. However, what Control C and Michigan Bell
did not know was that when Mark Gerardo was apprehended last year, he was
believed to be SFD and as such was entered in their files incorrectly.

North Dakota Nightmare September 10, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"For Kracking Crue's Docs Avage The Game Is Over"
In March of 1987, the North Dakota members of Kracking Crue (Docs Avage and
SpyroGyra (also known as Ractor)) found a local extender and were able to hack
out a code. They both lived on campus at North Dakota State University and
were able to abuse the code without the worry of being caught because of the
campus's Dimension phone system giving them a high degree of anonymity.
They used this code for the entire rest of the school year and nothing had
happened to prevent them from abusing it. Because of this lack of security, DA
and SG began to believe that the code would be safe for them to use anywhere.
The school year ended and the members of the Crue went home. Eventually the
Crue discovered a 1-800 number for the long distance service they had been
abusing and began to use it once again. However, they were soon to discover
that they were not half as safe as they thought.
The LD company had indeed been watching that code, but could not do anything to
catch the Crue because of the Dimension system on NDSU campus. Docs Avage
started to use the code from his apartment to call SpyroGyra and a few other
people and the company got his line tapped and kept a record of where all his
calls went to.
In Docs Avage's own words;
"On July 27th, 1988, I arrived back at my apartment after spending a
weekend with my parents at their home. I found it rather interesting to
discover three extra cars in the parking lot, one of which was a Dodge
Diplomat.
I walked into my apartment and discover two police detectives, two phone
officials, and two "computer experts" blissfully dismantling my Apple and
all my peripherals. One of my roommates was handcuffed and seated in a
chair and my other roommate was kept closely watched as he was sitting in
the kitchen. I was asked who I was, and read my rights. I agreed to
cooperate. I was busted on a dialup.
The dialup being the one I had hacked out several months before, and
gotten quite greedy with it (ok, I overabused the darn thing). In my
apartment, I placed around a $1000 worth of calls with it. I had made
calls with it before, but not to that extent.
I remained very cooperative, and talked to several phone security
representatives, including those from AT&T and U.S. Sprint (I had a
printout of 4 Sprint Codes, never had used them, just had them). The
phone security people are experts at adverse psychology, and I can
successfully say that they did a very good job of scaring me.
Nevertheless, I knew that they were trying to play with my brain, so it
wasn't as bad as it could have been.
