"so what is in this issue, cs?" excuse me, but why are you interrupting this introduction? "i am tha mighty zine oracle." and do you have a name? "yez! my name is big hurt." i don't care if your name is kevin mitnik... wait a second. aren't you the guy who put out a ton of zines and never got anywhere in the scene? "nah the scene aint shit... i am an elite haquer anyhow. plus y0lk let me write for them and i put out a few other zines. so i am in the scene." i remember when you used to call my bbs. remember that? "yez, and every1 on there made fun of me, especially my yellow journal zine. but i know you were all jealous." i don't think jealous is the right word; i think annoyed would be more appropriate. "now wait a sec!# i happen to know a helluva lot about zinez. prolly more than you will ever know." but that still doesn't explain why you interrupted this introduction. "i'm here to help cds. i read issue #1 and was disgusted. issue #2 and #3 were horrible. atleast #4 had sum good articles in it." but isn't it a rule that all starting issues of a zine are going to be either horrible or trashy? "well... uhhhh... i guess." but how do you expect to help cds? "i'm gunna give you sum advice." that's alright, i don't want any advice from you. "wait!# don't end thiz thang yet. let me finish!# i just wanted to say that cds needs to get a lil more truthful and stop actin like the authors know what they are writing about. it iz obvious that cds is run by a bunch of lamerz who have never hacked a system or phreaked a real call." that isn't true. if anything cds is an elite zine. you know, elite as in superior. (hahaha. elite. i'm speaking your language...) "you think people actually read thiz trash and like it?" if people didn't like reading cds then i wouldn't keep writing articles and putting out issues. "jus do the scene a favor. fold thiz crap and lay it to rest." i was thinking about folding cds but decided against it. i'm not going to pull a "big hurt" and end a zine just because it might be going through rough times. if anything, i am going to make cds TEN TIMES BETTER. that means more articles, more stories, more technical mumbo jumbo, and especially exploit some more idiots. "if you make it ten timez bettah, it might jus reach average on the scale of eliteness. fOo!" oh geeeez. "listen to me cs, i know what i am talking bout." i've heard enough, now go away. haven't you learned anything yet?! the scene doesn't want you around. SO GO AWAY. " thatz it. i'm gunna go start a zine jus to make fun of yours." yeah whatever. thanks for wasting my time big guy. --- that was rather annoying. actually, speaking of big hurt, i am going to start collecting all the zines that big hurt has either written in or put out. who knows, maybe in about two hundred years they might be worth something. and if not, who else can say they have all of big hurt's zines and hasn't deleted them yet? BIG HURT, IF YOU ARE READING THIS CALL MY BOARD AND UPLOAD ALL YOUR ZINES SO I CAN START MY COLLECTION. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM MYSELF. AND YES YOUR PASSWORD ON MY BBS IS STILL "3L33T3". [--part two--] [ how to make a free phone call ] anyway, on with the show... i was reading through the old cds issues and realized something: THIS ZINE HAS NOT ONCE SUGGESTED HOW TO MAKE A FREE PHONE CALL. i am deeply sorry that i or the authors of cds have not shared our phreakERing knowledge. so i wrote up a small "how to make a free phone call" text in hopes you won't have to pay the next time you are pranking someone. HOW TO MAKE A FREE PHONE CALL step 1 ------ find an expensive phone. the more expensive looking the phone is the easier it will be for you to make a free call. if you can't seem to find an expensive phone then go loot through a few of the executive offices at uswest. it's funny how they just leave those phones laying around on their desks. step 2 ------ show off your phone to all your neighbors. make sure you leave it by your window, in your house, so the phreaks across the street at 7-11 will see it glittering in the sunlight. here are a few ideas of how to show your phone off to the neighborhood: 1] tie a dog leash to the phone and take it for a walk. if the phone drags along the ground then put it in a waggon. 2] attach the phone to your belt and wear it like a pager. 3] call your neighbors on the phone and tell them you just won a bob barker autographed phone. make sure to press the buttons repeatedly during the phone call. 4] take pictures of the phone and post them on every sign in your neighborhood. step 3 ------ after you have flaunted your phone around the neighborhood and are sure everyone has atleast heard about it, take your phone to your neighbor's house and explain to them that you want to demonstrate your phone's amazing features. through expert persuasion find their nearest jack and plug the phone in. all your calls will now be free. this is a proven way to make free phone calls and requires no phreaking talent. even you can become elite and join the phreakERing club. [--part three--] [ illegal new user application ] someone tried to apply to my bbs a while back and i broke into chat (this was after they had called about five times over a period of three days). i explained to them that they would not be able to apply unless they knew the new user password. they then asked me how to get the new user password. i suggested that they get an old issue of cds and look for the nup in there. another day passed and the new user that wanted to apply called back. they explained to me that cds doesn't have the nup in it. after a tiresome chat i finally told them to get issue #1 and look in there. the following day i checked my board's log file and found the following: Logon node 1 [10:31 pm Wed Dec 11, 1996] (14400 baud) * New user logon * Illegal newuser password: ISN'T SABOTAGE * Illegal newuser password: IT'S NOT SABOTAGE * Illegal newuser password: S NOT SABOTAGE in cds issue #1 i had put the nup as: the shadow of cyberia 602-451-8564 [the nup isn't sabotage] i guess that's why it doesn't matter if i put my board's nup in this zine or not. because the idiot bbser will always type the nup in wrong and be denied access. i've also seen some new users apply and misspell "sabotage." (ex: sabatoge, sabitoge, sabotage). if you would like the new user password for the shadow of cyberia then leave e-mail at sirbob@juno.com.

Nothing much and you? Nothing here. Have you seen Xena around? No have you? No just looking for her. Oh that's cool. *** Signoff: ZeRoCooL (Ping timeout) now what about www chat? ugh. i knew you would have to bring this up. first of all, if you are a www chatter you shouldn't even be reading this zine. secondly, www chat is slower than shit. and third, you get to talk to even more lame people, like your parents. after living the irc "good life" i found it to be completely dull and unentertaining. as a last resort i jumped back into the bbs scene and found it in a state of utter confusion. the old "underground" boards had been taken down and their sysops had merged with the ever expanding internet. what was left of the bbs scene was mike dietz's board and his child porn. (of course this is an exaggeration, but not too far off from the truth.) i hope, after reading this, you will call your nearest bbs and help keep the dying spirit alive. atleast when you bbs, you can meet local people and most likely go out and smash telco boxes with them. but on the irc, you just get to sit around and talk about how you can jerk it with both hands. (cough #ansi) e-mail: pharcyde@ingenue.com ============================================================================== %%%[ article : listening to your scanner ]%%% %%%[ author! : zatan ]%%% ============================================================================== i recently got a radio shack scanner (model pro-2038). the scanner can either be used in your car or as a desktop system. i replaced the antenna that came with the scanner because the original one sucked. the new antenna is the telescopic one that radio shack sells for about 20 dollars. with this setup on my desk i can pick up transmissions from about 10 miles away, which is pretty good for a scanner. it is also a very tiny scanner that can fit into a zip bag (that is, if you ever want to carry it around). scanners can pick up alot of interesting things: fbi, fire/emergency, air planes, and cell phones. cells, pagers, and cordless phones can be received on a scanner given it has the correct frequency response. it is NOT against the law to eavesdrop on cordless phones. it is however illegal to listen to cellular phones and pagers. (there was a law passed in 1992 that banned scanners from picking up 825-849mhz and 869-894mhz; the cellular phone bands.) but, you will find that if you have a scanner capable of reaching 956mhz, you will still find cellular phone frequencies. if you have a scanner that is made after 1992, then 825-849mhz and 869-894mhz will not pickup. pagers are encoded but are still illegal to listen to. (get a POCSAG decoder to decrypt them.) you are allowed to listen to cordless phones but are not allowed to disclose the information that you hear. here are the corldless phone frequencies: base unit handset 46.61 49.70 46.63 49.845 46.67 49.86 46.71 49.77 46.73 49.875 46.77 49.83 46.83 49.89 46.87 49.93 46.93 49.99 46.97 49.97 if you tune your scanner into the frequencies above then you should be able to hear people talking on their cordless phones. almost ALL scanners pick up that range. when i was hyperscanning the 800-956mhz range on my scanner (when i first got it), i noticed a telephone ringing in the 850's. this meant that it was some sort of cell (the 900mhz cordless phones never go this low). the person who was using the cellular phone told the person that they were talking to that they had to go to keep their phone bill down. i wrote the frequency down and kept scanning. here are a few that i have found in my area. (they may still work in your area) if you find any more cellular frequencies, let me know somehow. 894.575 853.3625 865.7125 854.6625 897.100 859.3125 859.3625 860.0125 861.9375 864.0125 862.7625 865.6375 864.2875 895.250 856.6875 895.8375 899.200 897.100 912.350 908.650 914.650 911.925 there are also some 900mhz phones in there, but i just wrote down all the numbers i had committed to memory. if you ever hear someone dialing a number, then that means you have found a cordless phone, since you can't hear cellular phones dial numbers. popular cellular phone frequencies are 894.575 and 912.350. those seem to always be cluttered with conversation. you might experience people talking then immediately you hear a click and they are gone. that means they were on the phone and walked outside of the cellular range or the range of your scanner. you might try going a few frequencies up to find them again also. a common secret service frequency is 166.4625 and 165.375. the fbi uses 167.5625 but don't expect to hear top secret info on these channels; these will be the walkie-talkie type channels. common police frequencies can be found in the end of the 400's, like 477.2375 and 477.2875. some are also in the 150's, like 154.7550. some marine frequencies are 150.0 to 162.0. you can hear just about anything wireless on a scanner: phones, pagers, even remote controls. scanners are not even that expensive. i bought mine on sale for about 140 dollars. if you enjoy listening to people talk on the phone, and enjoy listening to personal information that your victims might happen to give out (ex: cc numbers, etc), then you should look into getting a scanner. a DTMF decoder would also come in handy if you want to get pin numbers, vmb codes, or credit card numbers. happy scanning. ============================================================================== %%%[ article : flooding people on the irc ]%%% %%%[ author! : pharcyde ]%%% ============================================================================== the irc is cluttered with lame people. until now there has never been a proven way to always flood them off. i am going to share a way to not only flood them off the irc, but lock their modem and disconnect them from their provider. (and if you are lucky, crash their provider.) lets take a trip down memory lane and examine how irc flooding has come along. in the first couple of years of irc there were some nice unix scripts that would produce some trash on the victim's screen, causing them to get mildly annoyed. next came dcc chat floods and version floods. then came mirc and the production of mirc-scripts which were a little more user friendly, but were slow; the outcome was quite poor. these days people are using both mirc and irc ii scripts for moving warez and getting porn. but for the serious "irc hackers" it just doesn't cut it. now is born the ICMP flood, which does not flood your PPP account but your IP (IP is the address that changes each time you login: blah@usr_19.lamer.com). this is what you are going to need: 1. a hacked shell account (NOT YOUR OWN!) 2. an IP spoofer (this is so the sysadmin doesn't know who you are) 3. a lucky contestant to be ICMP flooded step 1: telnet to the system that you have the account on, login, and goto the /etc directory. step 2: type: ping -f their_ip 2000 (for the dumb shits, type /whois therenick on the irc) it should start saying "pinging with packets of 2000." within five minutes on the irc it will say something close to "*Closing Connection* therenick " or "Connection reset by peer". this will cause their modem to lock/hang up, or if you are lucky, kill their ISP and freeze the victim's whole computer! some problems that i have encountered using ICMP flooding is that some systems do not have the -f option. also, you can not flood people using a T1 line. this is a great way to flood, but DO NOT OVER USE IT! have fun people. e-mail: pharcyd@echoprime.com ============================================================================== %%%[ article : hydroponics ]%%% %%%[ author! : speed ]%%% ============================================================================== most growers report that a hydroponic system will grow plants faster than a soil medium, given the same genetics and environmental conditions. this may be due to closer attention and more control of nutrients, and more access to oxygen. the plants can breath easier, and therefore, take less time to grow. one report has it that plants started in soil matured after hydroponic plants started 2 weeks later! fast growth allows for earlier maturation and shorter total growing time per crop. also, with soil mixtures, plant growth tends to slow when the plants become root-bound. hydroponics provide even, rapid growth with no pauses for transplant shock and eliminates the labor/materials of repotting if rockwool is used. (highly recommended!) by far the easiest hydroponic systems to use are the wick and reservoir systems. these are referred to as passive hydroponic methods, because they require no water distribution system on an active scale (pump, drain, flow meter and path). the basis of these systems is that water will wick to where you want it if the medium and conditions are correct. the wick system is more involved than the reservoir system, since the wicks must be cut and placed in the pots, correct holes must be cut in the pots, and a spacer must be created to place the plants up above the water reservoir below. this can be as simple as two buckets, one fit inside the other, or a kiddie pool with bricks in it that the pots rest on, elevating them out of the nutrient solution. i find the wick setup to be more work than the reservoir system. initial setup is a pain with wicks, and the plants sit higher in the room, taking up precious vertical space. the base the pot sits on may not be very stable compared to a reservoir system, and a knocked over plant will never be the same as an untouched plant, due to stress and shock in recovery. the reservoir system needs only a good medium suited to the task, and a pan to sit a pot in. if rockwool slabs are used, a half slab of 12" rockwool fits perfectly into a kitty litter pan. the roots spread out in a very desirable, horizontal fashion and have a lot of room to grow. plants grown in this manner are very robust because they get a great deal of oxygen at the roots. plants grown with reservoir hydroponics grow at about the same rate as wicks or other active hydroponic methods, with much less effort required, since it is by far the simplest of hydroponic methods. plants can be watered and fed by merely pouring solution into the reservoir every few days. the pans take up very little vertical space and are easy to handle and move around. in a traditional hydroponic method, pots are filled with lava/vermiculite mix of 4 to 1. dolite Lime is added, one Tblspn. per gallon of growing medium. this medium will wick and store water, but has excellent drainage and air storage capacity as well. it is, however, not very reusable, as it is difficult to recapture and sterilize after harvest. use small size lava, 3/8" pea size, and rinse the dust off it, over and over, until most of it is gone. wet the vermiculite (dangerous dry, wear a mask) and mix into pots; square pots hold more than round. vermiculite will settle to bottom after repeated watering from the top, so only water from the top occasionally to leach any mineral deposits, and put more vermiculite on the top than the bottom. punch holes in the bottom of the pots and add water to the pan. it will be wicked up to the roots and the plants will have all they need to flourish. the reservoir is filled with 1 1/2 - 3 inches of water and allowed to recede between waterings. when possible, use less solution and water more often to pull more oxygen to the roots faster over time. if you go away on vacation, simply fill the reservoirs full to the top, and the plants will be watered for 2 weeks at least. one really great hydroponic medium is oasis floral foam. stick several holes into it to open it up a little, and start plants/clones in it, moving the cube of foam to rockwool later for larger growth stages. many prefer floral foam, as it is inert, and adds no ph factors. it's expensive though, and tends to crumble easily. i'm also not sure if it's very reusable, but it seems to be a popular item at the indoor gardening centers. planting can be made easier with hydroponic mediums that require little setup such as rockwool. rockwool cubes can be reused several times, and are premade to use for hydroponics. some advantages of rockwool are that it is impossible to over water and there is no transplanting. just place the plant's cube on top of a larger rockwool cube and enjoy your extra leisure time. some find it best to save money by not buying rockwool and spending time planting in soil or hydroponic mediums such as vermiculite/lava mix. pearlite is nice, since it is so light. pearlite can be used instead of or in addition to lava, which must be rinsed and is much heavier. but rockwool has many advantages that are not appreciated until you spend hours repotting; take a second look. it is not very expensive, and it is reusable. it's more stable than floral foam, which crunches and powders easily. rockwool holds 10 times more water than soil, yet is impossible to over-water, because it always retains a high percentage of air. best of all, there is no transplanting; just place a starter cube into a rockwool grow cube, and when the plant gets very large, place that cube on a rockwool slab. since rockwool is easily reused over and over, the cost is divided by 3 or 4 crops, and ends up costing no more than vermiculite and lava, which is much more difficult to reclaim, sterilize and reuse (repot) when compared to rockwool. vermiculite is also very dangerous when dry, and ends up getting in the carpet and into the air when you touch it (even wet), since it drys on the fingers and becomes airborne. for this reason, i do not recommend vermiculite indoors. rockwool's disadvantages are relatively few. it is alkaline ph, so you must use something in the nutrient solution to make it acidic (5.5) so that it brings the rockwool down from 7.7, to 6.5 (vinegar works great.) and it is irritating to the skin when dry, but is not a problem when wet. to pre-treat rockwool for planting, soak it in a solution of fish emulsion, trace mineral solution and phosphoric acid (ph down) for 24 hours, then rinse. this will decrease the need for ph worries later on, as it buffers the rockwool ph to be fairly neutral. hydroponics should be used indoors or in greenhouses to speed the growth of plants, so you have more bud in less time. hydroponics allow you to water the plants daily, and this will speed growth. the main difference between hydroponics and soil growing is that the hydroponic soil or "medium" is made to hold moisture, but drain well, so that there are no over-watering problems associated with continuous watering. also, hydroponically grown plants do not derive nutrients from soil, but from the solution used to water the plants. hydroponics reduces worries about mineral buildup in soil, and lack of oxygen to suffocating roots, so leaching is usually not necessary with hydroponics. hydroponics allow you to use smaller containers for the same given size plant, when compared to growing in soil. a 3/4 gallon pot can easily take a small hydroponically grown plant to maturity. this would be difficult to do in soil, since nutrients are soon used up and roots become cut-off from oxygen as they become root-bound in soil. this problem does not seem to occur nearly as quickly for hydroponic plants, since the roots can still take up nutrients from the constant solution feedings, and the medium passes on oxygen much more readily when the roots become bound in the small container. plant food is administered with most waterings, and allows the gardener to strictly control what nutrients are available to the plants at the different stages of plant growth. watering can be automated to some degree with simple and cheap drip system apparatus, so take advantage of this when possible. hydroponics will hasten growing time, so it takes less time to harvest after planting. it makes sense to use simple passive hydroponic techniques when possible. hydroponics may not be desirable if your growing outdoors, unless you have a greenhouse. CAUTION: it is necessary keep close watch of plants to be sure they are never allowed to dry too much when growing hydroponically, or roots will be damaged. if you will not be able to tend to the garden every day, be sure the pans are filled enough to last until next time you return, or you can easily lose your crop. more traditional hydroponic methods (active) are not discussed here. i don't see any point in making it more difficult than it needs to be. it is necessary to change the solution every month if your circulating it with a pump, but the reservoir system does away with this problem. just rinse the medium once a month or so to prevent salts build up by watering from the top of the pot or rockwool cube with pure water. change plant foods often to avoid deficiencies in the plants. i recommend using 2 different plant foods for each phase of growth, or 4 foods total, to lessen chances of any type of deficiency. change the solution more often if you notice the ph is going down quickly (too acidic). due to cationic exchange, solution will tend to get too acidic over time, and this will cause nutrients to become unavailable to the plants. check ph of the medium every time you water to be sure no ph issues are occurring. algae will tend to grow on the medium with higher humidities in hydroponics. it will turn a slab of rockwool dark green. to prevent this, use the plastic cover the rockwool came in to cover rockwool slab tops, with holes cut for the plants to stick out of it. it's easy to cut a packaged slab of rockwool into two pieces, then cut the end of the plastic off each piece. you now have two pieces of slab, each covered with plastic except on the very ends. now cut 2 or 3 4" square holes in the top to place cubes on it, and place each piece in a clean litter pan. now your ready to treat the rockwool as described above in anticipation of planting. if growing in pots, a layer of gravel at the top of a pot may help reduce algae growth, since it will dry very quickly. algae is messy and unsightly; it will not actually cause any complications with the plants. information gathered from cannabis grower's guide ============================================================================== %%%[ article : surf the net, d00d [part 1] ]%%% %%%[ author! : cs ]%%% ============================================================================== i took it upon myself to surf the net and explore the www hacking/phreaking scene and then report what i found here. although it was nearly impossible to visit every page and site, this is part 1 of the ever expanding internet "underground" scene.
