The time me and a friend from Idaho called this local guy who THOUGHT he was a
phreak. I talked to him on one line, while MIKE talked to him long distance on
another, convincing him that AT&T security had really busted his ass. I've
never heard ANYONE sound so scared in my life! HAHAH
Starting on my high school's varsity football team for two years instead of the
average 0-1 yr.
Some people to mention

Lord Kahz
Cookie Cruncher
Android Base -- for pointing me in the right direction
Simon Templar -- for taking that direction and showing me what to do with it.
All others who have helped me in anyway, whether it be questions I had, or
whatever else... Thanks.

I think people who abuse CCs are assholes. That does nothing but hurt all of
us; all that comes out of it is one person's gain and many people's suffering.
Example; Sysops of the board where the inevitably BUSTED asshole posted his CC
numbers.

Although he has never met any hackers, Scott feels that there are a few geeks
out there based on some of his phone conversations.
Thanks for your time Scott.

The Problem?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fate of the entire modem community for the most part is based on the
foundation of computer bulletin boards. These realms of information exchange
have become centers of learning and trading various information for thousands
of hackers across the United States and even the world.
However, today's security consultants and law enforcement agencies are smarter
than ever too and they know where to strike in order to do the most damage.
The concept of creating a bulletin board for the purpose of catching hackers
was unheard of until The Phoenix Phortress Incident of 1986. The creation of
this bulletin board system enabled Sergeant Dan Pasquale of the Fremont Police
Department the ability to penetrate the sacred barrier between the phreak/hack
community and the rest of the world.
This file will attempt to show the extent of this problem within the community
and hopefully will lead readers to discover ways of protecting themselves from
the many "venus fly traps" they are likely to encounter. Articles presented in
this file are specially edited reprints from past issues of Phrack World News.
