The big news for us? We have a new writer for the magazine! His name is Boom Boom, and as you guessed his expertise is in explosives. So, his article is number two! We hope you will enjoy his articles as much as you enjoyed ours (you had better have enjoyed ours!). As you can see, we changed our intro graphic. That is only the first of the many changes me and Poison Ice are planning to make this magazine look better. I've even replaced the intro graphic on our monthly cloumns (Connection Corner and Vengence Column) So, if something does seem funny in our next few issues, bear with us. And, even better yet, Bethlehem is the official distribution board for our issues, so call it! Even if you don't want our issues it still has lots of other great files and stuff! Bethlehem's number is: (403)477-2351. You can also leave E-mail for us there.We prefer e-mail at Bethlehem because the board hosting the internet E-mail address is always busy and it takes a while to get on and respond. Well, that's enough from me, and onto issue 4! --------------------------------------------------------------------- | CATSlash Contents | | - Issue 4 - | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |1.

The process is fairly simple. 1.Take a dime. 2.Slip part of it in between the lock face (the knob with the numbers) and the main part of the lock like so: ________ / ______ \ | | | | | |______| | / ________ \ / / 0 \ <--------------- Lock Face | | __ | | | |30 / \ 10| | | | \__/ |__| \ \ 20 / \ \ -------- 10c | <---------- Dime (slipped under lock face) -----------\___/ 3. Push real hard on the dime with your thumb (hence the name "thumbing") 4. The lock face should pop off. From here you can see the knob and where the pins (or whatever their called) line up. You may want to bring a pair of pliers to turn the knob after the face is off. If you can't see the pins and you just see bare metal, then you can't do anything without a flat screwdriver. But the owner of the locker won't be able to get in in either case! This should only be used when you won't be seen. Also, the guy will suspect that someone raided his locker when he finds this, so cover your tracks well! CATSlash Magazine Issue#4 - November 1996 - File #4 of 9 --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Cable Box Plans | | Brought to you by:Jeriatrick | | Origional Author:(Tom) Hackerman | --------------------------------------------------------------------- Its time to unravel the world built up by those zany Shaw Cable guys! Here's a file from the C.A.T.S library on how to make a pay TV decoder box. That means when you hook it up, you can get the pay channels like Superchannel, Pay-per-view and stuff like that. It sure beats paying a guy $200 for a cable box on the street. References to a box such as this have appeared in our past issues. Here's the file: _____________________________________________________________________ With most of the cable companies scrambling their signals on most all new and some old channels I thought I'd update and revise my first version (1.0) of Pay Tv Decoder Plans. Due to different scrambling systems, you might find it neccesary to change the range and values of the variable capacitator. I've also added a wiring diagram to help you with design- ing the circut. If you have any questions just leave a message on the board listed at the end of the article. (Tom) Hackerman ///PAY TV DECODER PLANS/// Version 2.0 ///MATERIALS REQUIRED:/// 1 - Radio Shack mini-box ( #270-235) 1 - 1/4 watt resistor, 2.2k-2.4k ohm (RS #271-1325) 1 - 75pf-100pf variable capacitor (Very hard to find) 2 - F61a chassis-type coaxial connectors (RS #278-212) 12" - No. 12 solid copper wire 12" - RG59 coaxial cable ///INSTRUCTIONS/// 1. Bare a length of No. 12 gauge solid copper wire and twist around a 3/8" nail or rod to form a coil of 9 turns. Elongate coil to a length of 1 1/2" inches and form right angle bends on each end. 2. Solder the varible capacitor to the coil. It doesn't matter where you solder it, it still does the same job. The best place for it is in the center with the adjustment screw facing upward Note: When it comes time to place coil in box, the coil must be insulated from grounding. This can be done by crazy- glueing a piece of rubber to the bottom of the box, and securing the coil to it. 3. Tap coil at points 2 1/2 turns from ends of coil and solder to coaxial chassis connectors, bringing tap leads through holes in chassis box. Use as little wire as possible. 4. Solder resistor to center of coil and ground other end of resistor to chassis box, using solder lug and small screw. Diagram: Your circut and design should look something like this: ---------------------------- ! ! ! ! ! C ! ! -----------F16a G 2.2k O -- ! N----\/\/\--- Vc ! D 1/4w I -- ! ! -----------F16a ! L ! ! ! ! ! ---------------------------- 5. Drill a 1/2" diameter hold in mini- box cover to permit adjustment of the variable capacitor from the outside. Inspect the device for defects in workmanship and place cover on mini- box. Tighten securely. 6. Place device in line with existing cable on either side of the coverter box and connect to television set with the short piece of RG59 coaxial cable. Set television set to HBO channel. 7. Using a plastic screwdriver (non- metallic), adjust the varible capacitor until picture tunes in. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!!! CATSlash Magazine Issue#4 - November 1996 - File #5 of 9 -----> -----> | / / | \ \ | -----> ONNECTION -----> ORNER | ----------------------------------- Normally By: Poison Ice This one is by: Jeriatrick Poison Ice informed me at the last minute that he could't write up a Connection Corner this month, so I'll try and fill in using Poison Ice's notes and whoever mailed me. Eastglen: Somebody got into the auto lab and dumped metal filings on a customer's motor. The auto teacher had to ship the motor to some place to get it cleaned, and it cost over $1000. Student Crime stoppers is now searching for the person but there are NO leads. Confirmed. J. Percy Page (South Side!): Word has it that if you are under the age of 20 by September 1st returning grade twelves can go and finish their schooling at a Centrally located school in edmoton. The school as not been selected as of yet, word has it that it could either be a completley new building or Vic Comp. Confirmed. J.D. Braco: Somebody (possibly a high school student) went in and beat up a few kids rael bad. Now you have to fill in seven forms and are watched constantly by a teacher when visiting. Uncomfirmed. That's all for now. Next month Poison Ice will be back to do this column, and he knows a lot more. Also, if you know some news mail it to our E-mail address (in the first file),or on Bethlehem mail me (Jeriatrick) because Poison Ice dosen't have an account there. We can use any news you have!

Well anyway, we will learn how to find the adress of an enemy. This info is not to be shared with anyone belonging to the N.E.R.D. society intentionally. Well back to the task at hand, okay the following info should be sufficient to track someone to their place of residience, if not, you require either excessive methods or simpler methods. So here we go: One: Choose your target, man, woman, child, or member of "n.e.r.d." member (if any ); Two: Find a time where you are somewhere near that person ; Three: Don't follow too close, stay within visual range of victim; Four: use other types of vehicles to keep track of said target(eg.bike, skateboard), this could allow you to keep a distance or have an excuse for being in the vicinity. Also you might want to use a pair of field glasses or other types of binoculars; Five: keep note inside your head or on paper where you have tracked this person to, you may have to track this victim of yours a few times to get it right. But keeping your info in your head is a lot better for security purposes; Six: Learn from expierience, assemble equipment to help you if you need to try it again. It could be useful; So that's it for now, see you all next month and remember, hack the planet, and bring down n.e.r.d. !!! CATSlash Magazine Issue#4 - November 1996 - File #8 of 9 --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stealing Cars | | By: Jeriatrick | --------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not too expirenced at car stealing, but have accompanied a few people on the job. As soon as I learn more I will update this file. Wanna get a free car. Here's how... Coathanger ---------------- This car must have an older lock for this to work! (Shaped like this) (Not This) ___ _ ( ) / \ | | | | | | | | Unfold a coathanger so it is straight with a hook at the end. Slide it in the crack between the window and the door. Use it to find the lock cable (logically near or below the keyhole). Hook it (the lock will jiggle) and pull up. This may take a few tries, but eventually you will get good at it. It dosen't work on new locks because they have shielded cables. The Slim Jim ------------- Take a metal ruler and cut it like so: ----- | _| | \ <--------- a cut | | | | The origional slim jims were sold by a company in the U.S. and were 75 cm. long and probably made of a stronger metal. I saw one once at a "demonstration of talents" and it worked pretty good. Use it like a coathanger. Prying Open the window ----------------------- Use a flat-headed screwdriver to pry open the side windows enough for you to slide it down with your hands. This is hard to do and only sometimes works, although, I once knew a guy who worked at a glass shop who would pry at a spot, and the whole window would fall down! On pickups, with two flat-headed screwdrivers pry open the back window, place in your arm and unlock the door. All back window latches will pop off if enough pressure is placed on them. Hotwiring --------- There are two methods of hotwiring a car. The first involves you cutting open the dash under the steering wheel and putting together the two matching colored wires (usually red). This ruins the dash but will give you a quick escape. The second is if you have time. Pop open the hood and connect a wire between the positive battery coil and the positive solenoid, then jump the starter with a screwdriver. The Screwdriver ---------------- A classic way. Simply jam a flat headed screwdriver into the keyhole and turn hard. If the screwdriver aligns the pins properly, the car will start and off you can go! This may not be as reliable as hotwiring. Disabling Locking Steering --------------------------- If you hotwire a car, but it has locking steering you will start going nowhere fast. To disable it you must understand that locking steering is simply a pin in your steering wheel and is easily broken. The classic way is to jam a flat screwdriver in the keyhole. This can also be used to start the car (as seen above). The second is to drill into the keyhole. When the drill drills through the pin, it is broken and free for hotwiring. Scam Method ------------ Go to a used car lot. Take a car for a test drive. Drop by a key cutting shop and get a duplicate of the car's keys. Drive the car back. At night, sneak in and steal the car with the keys. That is an easy method used by a few people. Professional Tools ------------------- There are some pro tools out there that will work on new cars. If you want to get serious about car theft. Remember these are usually VERY expensive, but they will do what this file can't do. Well I hope you learned something from this. Have fun and don't let the cops catch you. Hide the car somewhere when you steal it and ditch the plates in the river.
